Thanks mememe for this one. I heard about this a while back, but didn't realized they'd announced it! CMT is doing a new reality series, Hulk Hogan's Celebrity Championship Wrestling. Those set to compete are:
Dustin "Screech" Diamond - wow, he's really cashing in every reality chance he gets
Danny Bonaduce
Dennis Rodman
Todd Bridges
ButterBean - super-heavyweight boxer
Trishelle Cannatella - Real World
Erin Murphy - Tabitha Stephens on Bewitched
Tiffany - 80's Pop Star (I have an old interview w/ her I should dig up)
Nikki Ziering - Playboy Playmate
Frank Stallone
Professional wrestling manager, Jimmy Hart joins the Hulkster to name the Celebrity All-Star Wrestling Champion based on their challenges (wrestling moves, trash talking, and working a live audience). I love the new summer motif of sports reality shows...NBC with the celebrity circus and now this. If Screech is involved in anything, you know it's going to be another hack reality show. It's set to air this fall.
A fun fact, Jason Hervey (Wayne from The Wonder Years) is one of the creators and executive producers.

Thanks Nads! In a world of craptacular tv, to ME, this represents what might possibly be the ceremonial scraping of the bottom. But you know what? I've been wrong about that before. It just keeps getting worse and worse out there.
I still can't believe anyone employs Screech for anything acting-related. And what on earth is Tiffany thinking?? I scratch my head at this whole entire thing.

I'm with you. The fact that he was on Celebrity Fit Club two times and now this. CMT (LA) has offices in the same building as VH1...so I'm sure they are in cahoots somehow. I think it's more embarrassing for the show to have Screech on. I can't even look at him, he disgusts me.
And Tiffany! I agree, but it doesn't surprise me. She's been trying to get her name out there again for sometime, so she needs the press. She lives less than 2 miles from my mom right now in Orange County, small world. I would have gone nuts when I was in 6th grade.
