New TruTV Series to Feature Hulk Hogan and Little-People Pro Wrestlers

There's a new professional wrestling league in town, and they're calling themselves the MCW, or "Micro Championship Wrestling." Why "Micro"? Simple: every wrestler in the MCW is a little person.

The organization's goal is to "show the world that little people are serious athletes who have the determination to succeed."

Their website reads: "Our Micro Athletes may be short in stature, but make up for it in Hardwork, Will Power and Determination!"

TruTV has put in a six-episode order of a new show centering on the MCW, tentatively titled "Hulk Hogan's MCW." As you can probably guess by the title, Hulk Hogan will be a part of the show, and will act as a mentor to the new pros in the MCW.

Hogan seems to already be involved with the MCW, as a visit to their website shows a video of the Hulkster promoting the league.

Turner Broadcasting-owned TruTV, which Charles Barkley called "the white BET," has been making a push lately for viewership with a slate new original shows. The network (formerly Court TV) also got a massive boost in ratings and overall brand awareness when it aired several of the 2011 NCAA Tournament March Madness games this year.
