Hulk Hogans Celebrity championship Wrestling mini review show 8

It's the final show and you'd think after 5 weeks of using the celebs in ring names Brian Knobbs would have been able to get Todd Bridges characters name right. This weeks pretraining briefing was given in the actual competion ring and area, the celebs do not learn ANY new moves this week but all 4 of them are told they will have to learn the moves for 2 totally different matches as everyone will be involved in a tag match and the best 2 will go forward to a 1 on 1 final for the title. Dustin Diamond is given practice on his weak and sloppy chops working with everyone else and the 2 trainers and Knobbs flubs Todds persona name yet again.
Everyone struggles to follow the sequence of moves for the tag match because they can't remember the huge amount of moves their required to do although after a few physical run-throughs it appears the celebs have got it down.

The Matches - Jabroni Match - Candy Girl, Tiffany & Frank J "Cleopatra" Stallone vs Mistress Of Mayhem (Mom) & The Redhot Redneck. Basically this is an all girl match with Stallone acting as a manager. Redneck was selling well as she'd been in the longest of all the women, Tiffany sold a nice looking stunner off Redneck and Mom came in to get the win off Tiffany with a flying cross body block. Post Match we had a face off between Stallone & Danny Bonneduche but it only amounted to 1 punch then Stallone bolted.

Finalists Tag Match - Mr Not So Perfect & The Winner vs One Mean Bean & Rodzilla.
Perfect & Winner stormed Rodzilla & Bean as instructed in their prematch training, Bean & Rodzilla managed to quickly regain control with a meeting of the minds then Winner was sent over the ropes for Perfect to work Rodzilla. Heels Winner & Perfect were selling really well for the faces and Perfect made a nice flying cross body block onto Bean who was outside the ring on the floor, Winner nailed an awful clothesline with brass knucks (it was hard to see if Diamond delivered it badly or Butterbean sold it badly) allowing Perfect to hit a nice flying splash on Bean who came back to take out the heels with a double clothesline, Rodzilla made some sloppy clotheslines but the bodyslams looked ok. Bean & Rodzilla pinned a man each and they took the win.

During the judges critique Bischoff tells Rodman everything he does looks believable, so he wasn't watching those p**s poor sloppy clothesines in this match then? Jimmy Hart days he'd sign Butterbean if he were managing again, Hogan tells Bridges he took a big risk and then tells Diamond he did a good job. Dennis Rodman & Todd Bridges move forward to the final match.

Mr Not So Perfect vs Rodzilla - We hadn't seen any of the practice for the final match but it wasn't really all that impressive and was mainly Perfect selling for Rodzilla until Perfect put Rodzilla through a table at ringside. Perfect made a better sunset flip (so he's been practicing there then), Rodzilla wasn't exactly doing many of the moves they'd been taught and Perfect sold the middle rope flying clothesline but neither of these guys really impressed because neither man really tried to do any of the moves they'd been taught over the 8 weeks. Rodman took the harder bumps (into the post and the table) so it was very hard to call but I would have sooner seen an decent match with moves than the showy match they decided to go for.

Hogan says both guys are even so he makes the call and gives the Celebrity Championship Wrestling title to Dennis "Rodzilla" Rodman who we knew had won the title before the 1st show ever aired. Clearly Hogan had decided ahead of time his old WCW friend was going to win so that was a bit of a fix really.
