Show is Scripted

I bet the celebirty booting order was determined before the events even took place. I thought team Nasty was better than Beefcake last night.

Stallone was also very good in my opinion. They did not mentioned one thing he did wrong in the match. He was much better than Erin Murphy who kinda wondered around like she didn't know where to go.

Stallone was filling in for an injured Rodman at the last minute. Hogan even gave him props for being a last minute replacement. Hard to know the entire routine when you are last minute.

I can see the casting price.....ok going first will be Tiffany, than Frank Stallone...Erin Murphy will be next......then Todd Bridges.

Really if you watch the highlights on the first show you can kinda tell who makes it far and who does not. Too many clips of what is to come.

Well, in fairness, Frank was the only one who wouldn't go through with the jump they were supposed to do earlier. So, maybe that has something to do with why he got booted. Still, if that is the case, I personally think that is kind of harsh. I mean, he can't help it if he is afraid of heights. Plus, not every wrestler has to do top rope moves or super big bumps like that, so it isn't really like that is a fair judge of how he'd be as a wrestler anyway. I guess I could understand the judges holding that against him, but I just think it is a bit harsh.

At the very least, the fact that he did so well after such a last minute change should have really earned him some points. That should have been viewed as a much better judge of how good of a wrestler he may make. You can't always plan things out. Sometimes, you do have to be able to adapt to last minute changes.

I like Frank but his decision not to jump during that challenge when girls were doing it made him seem kind of wimpy. I don't think he's a coward but......

Help me out here.

Hogan was on Howard Stern before this came out and talked about it a little bit. He sadi one of great thingss that happened on the show was half way through Stallone found his persona when he started taking the ring as a drag queen.

Then when they started running ads on CMT a spot showed him dressed as a drag queen.

I have been watching a little and Stallone was thrown off before the wrestlers developed a character. I have to assume that he comes back later in the show.

Does anyone have any info?

Yeah, you could tell. They picked the narratives they wanted. I love how in one episode, Hogan and Bischoff would rave about how great a match was, and in the next they'd be all disappointed, even though there was absolutely no difference in quality between the two matches...
