So there’s a new show on MTV where a supposed “bully” is matched up against a trained MMA fighter and goes three rounds with him. I don’t entirely remember how it works (only submissions in the first round, then punches and kicks, then both I think), but in each round the “bully” starts out with about $5000. However, for each tapout he loses $1000. Invariably, the “bully” gets destroyed and loses all the money.
Words just do not express how sick and ridiculous this show is. It’s literally the equivalent of a grown man beating up a little defenseless kid. How can MTV be allowed to put out such filth?
Well, according to Wiki, 4 of the total of 6 bullies that have been contestants have walked away with money, one of them for the whole $10,000. So yours isn’t really close to an accurate description.
I really don’t see how someone who has been bullying other people getting his comeuppance is bad in any way. I’m pretty sure they do it voluntarily. Where’s the problem?
I would not be surprised if the fights are fake and the outcome is determined ahead of time. I remember reading that the channel’s “dating” shows (“Parental Control” and “Next”) were scripted, and with the precedent of pro wrasslin’, it seems even more likely they would fake a fighting show.
I’m sure the fights are real-ish, but it wouldn’t surprise me if the bully weren’t really bullies and the victims weren’t really victims. Just a way for MTV to jump on the MMA bandwagon.
The crappy part is what squeegee mentioned - a lot of these bullies end up getting money. If the stories the victims tell are true, these guys are pretty big dickheads, and now they are getting paid for being a dickhead. Kind of stupid.
Yeah, I saw the one episode with “Vince” that Squeegee mentioned. This ass had thrown his former roommate through a door (IIRC) and owed the other guy tons of rent money with no intention of paying. I think he also wrecked the guys car and didn’t pay. (Why they don’t just go to the police I don’t know.)
Anyway, I was extremely dissapointed by the beatdown Westbrook put on him. He was clearly outclassed as a fighter, but he didn’t seem hurt at all. I was hoping for something out of Mortal Kombat on his ass. I was so let down I didn’t watch another episode.
I’ve only seen the intro to one episode. In it, a girl was talking about her ex, who apparently stalked her, beat up guys she was dating, and stole her car and totaled it. I couldn’t help but think,
“Why isn’t he in jail, instead of on a crappy MTV “reality” show?”
