They’re not exactly Divas but close enough! We’re always looking to expand into new territory, so we decided to watch the first episode of Hulk Hogan’s brand new CMT reality show Celebrity Championship Wrestling. So, let’s meet the ladies of the show:

Recap
In the first episode of CCW, Erin and Nikki were drafted into ‘Team Nasty’, the team led by ‘Nasty Boy’ Brian Knobbs. Meanwhile, Tiffany and Trishelle joined ‘Team Beefcake’ led by Brutus ‘The Barber’ Beefcake. Each week, the teams have to learn three moves and then utilise them in a match before a live crowd in the CCW Arena. This week, the moves were: a kick to the midsection, a forearm smash and a clothesline.
In the ‘Main Event’ show, ‘Team Beefcake’ went first with Tiffany and partner, Danny Bonaduce playing heels against Trishelle and Butterbean (the faces). It was Trishelle and Butterbean who picked up the victory. Then, from ‘Team Nasty’ it was Erin Murphy teaming up with Dennis Rodman against Dustin Diamond and Frank Stallone. The match ended with Rodman and Erin picking up the win.
In judging, Hulk Hogan, Eric Bischoff and Jimmy Hart decided that ‘Team Nasty’ picked up the overall victory. That meant that one of ‘Team Beefcake’ had to be eliminated. Tiffany became the first celebrity to be eliminated.
