RADIO STAR BUBBA THE LOVE SPONGE®
TO BE ANNOUNCER FOR NEW REALITY TV SHOW,
HULK HOGAN’S CELEBRITY CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING
TAMPA, FLORIDA –September 9, 2008 – Radio star Bubba the Love Sponge® will be the voice of Hulk Hogan’s new reality television competition program, Hulk Hogan’s Celebrity Championship Wrestling, when it debuts on the CMT cable TV channel later this fall.
Bubba will be the show’s announcer and provide play-by-play for the program that stars professional wrestling icon Hulk Hogan, and which will feature ten celebrities being trained to become professional wrestlers,
Hogan is one of the World Wrestling Entertainment’s biggest stars and was the subject of the VH1 TV series Hogan Knows Best, which ran for four seasons. He has developed Hulk Hogan’s Celebrity Championship Wrestling with former World Championship Wrestling executive Eric Bischoff and producer Jason Hervey.
Hogan, a close friend of Bubba’s who served as best man for Bubba’s 2007 wedding to Heather Cole, is a frequent guest on Bubba’s Sirius Satellite Radio and terrestrial radio programs. Bubba was recently interviewed on CNN Headline News’ Showbiz Tonight and E! True Hollywood Story programs about Hogan, and has previously been quoted in People magazine and other outlets regarding his friend.
Hogan said, “Bubba has been one of my closest friends for well over ten years, and has dabbled in the wrestling biz with me for about as long. When asked if I had anyone in mind to be the announcer, my eyes lit up and I yelled out loud, ‘BUBBA!’”
“I am so honored to be a part of this project,” said Bubba. “With wrestling legends like Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff heading it, Hulk Hogan’s Celebrity Championship Wrestling is sure to be something that all of America will want to see, and to be a part of it is a dream come true for me.”
After almost 20 years of dominating terrestrial radio, Bubba the Love Sponge® (his legal and trademarked name) was recruited by Howard Stern to host a national, uncensored, weekday afternoon talk show on Sirius Satellite Radio that launched in January 2006 that has become one of satellite radio’s most popular programs. Since January, Bubba has also been hosting the top-rated live morning program on radio stations WHPT-FM/Tampa, FL and WFYV-FM/Jacksonville, FL - making him the first in the industry to host two separate, full-length, live daily radio programs on both satellite and terrestrial radio. Both are broadcast from Bubba’s own custom-built, multimedia studio in Tampa, Florida, which is regularly visited by stars from the worlds of sports, comedy, music, TV and adult film/video.
In July, the new Bubba Raw® DVDs were released by IVD/International Video Distributors, featuring uncut and uncensored behind-the-scenes video footage culled from thousands of hours of Bubba the Love Sponge® Show antics. |
