I could've sworn I just saw a commercial for Dancing with the Stars 2 and they said there was going to be a pro wrestler on this season? Did I imagine this or did anyone else see it. Has there been any word on who it is if it's true? Please, please, PLEASE let this be one of Chris Jericho's hollywood projects.
I didn't see any commercials. I found a TV rumor site that claims that Jerry Rice, Robert Wagner, Lisa Rinna, and Drew Lachey (brother of Nick?) will be on it, among others.
(edited by Mr. Boffo on 6.12.05 2109) In the real world, WWE believes that no matter what our race, religious creed or ethnic background in America, we all share the common bond of being Americans. American-Arabs are a part of the fabric of America, and they should be embraced by all of us.
yup. they said there's gonna be a pro wrestler on. Schippewreck, my sister, and I were throwing around options last night and figure that it might be Joanie/Chyna.

I can totally see Robert Wagner being this season's John O'Hurley. But please please please let him wear the eye patch from the Austin Powers movies. I'd tune in for some of that.
He was a popular attraction until he choked to death on a corn kernel.
I have to pull for Robert Wagner on principle. Unless the wrestler is truly the *last* one you'd expect. Like Fred Ottman, or New Jack or someone like that. If it's just some recent WWE washout like, say, Jindrak, then who gives a rat's ass?
Originally posted by SimbaScherer says it's none other than HBK himself. I assume it's because he's got the moves that really move 'em.
I'll tell you this - I saw the commercial, kind of glanced up and thought I saw HBK out of the corner of my eye when they said "wrestler" - but it could have probably been any blondish guy with his hair in a ponytail
We'll be back right after order has been restored here in the Omni Center.

THANK YOU!!!! I saw the promos during MNF and before they even mentioned the wrestler I said "wow, that looks like Shawn Michaels." I was trying to find something to confirm that yesterday but no such luck thus far.
Funny you guys say you thought you saw HBK. During promos for the LAST season of the show, I could have SWORN I saw HBK as one of the dancers. I have never watched the show, though, so I don't know who or what I was actually seeing.
Among the men, I see that glory-whore Jerry Rice will be on the show, which somehow makes me even sadder than when Evander Holyfield did so last year. Rice legitimately deserves to be in the conversation for the greatest player in NFL history. Somehow, I have a problem seeing other players in that discussion like Jim Brown and Chuck Bednarik on "Dancing with the Stars."
Jerry, if you want to be famous so badly, why were you so prickly in your glory days in San Francisco? You and Montana or you and Young were a marketer's dream!
Even more disturbingly, ESPN's Kenny Mayne (deadspin.com) reportedly will also be one of the "stars" of this show. I don't even know where to begin on this. Kenny, I get it that your smarmy demeanor and bizarre home run calls were chuckle-worthy for about five minutes on ESPN, which is good enough to make you a destitute man's Craig Kilborn. You certainly seem to have an aggressive agent, as well, who has gotten you some... unusual peripheral assignments on ESPN, such as the Day of Kenny Mayne where you covered like 4 ESPN events one Sunday across the country. He certainly has got your smirking mug plenty of exposure, and now with the CROSSOVER SYNERGY that is exposure on ABC, who knows, maybe you can be the next, I don't know, Chris Myers?
