Celebrities Not Wrestling

So, apparently this Celebrity Wrestling that's coming to ITV on Saturday won't actually involve the celebrities actually wrestling. Bah. I was hoping that we'd have our very own excellent version of 'sports entertainment'. We could have well scripted rivalries, love stories, revenge, dirty tricks. Who wouldn't want to see Kate Lawler distract the umpire so that Iwan Thomas could sneakily batter James Hewitt with a steel chair? I'm sure we couldn't do it as well as the WWE, surely only Americans could give us such a thing. The wrestling we used to get in the 80s but what if Giant Haystacks had been knocking off Big Daddy's missus and she was a wrestler too and... ok, so it wouldn't have worked.

Anyway the show is apparently basically going to be celebrities involved in Gladiators (AWOOGAH!) style contests. Bah. They are going to have wrestling style nicknames but I guess as they aren't doing any real wrestling they won't have their own special moves. There's so much potential. James Hewitt - will he be called Love Rat? - could do the People's Princess Elbow... ok so the rest of the celebs are so z list I don't know enough about them to think anything up. You lot go for it if you can be bothered.

So Dr Who it is. Woo!

Not that I'll actually see either on Saturday as I'm going to see Left Side Brain in Camden then to a party. C'est la vie.
