Believe it or not, this was one of the premises behind "Grudge Match" (1990-91) with Steve Albert and Jesse Ventura calling the action....(yes, for newbies, it was a sports type show.....but it was kinda like what was described above.)

When I first read the ad, the first thing that popped into my head was The Grudge Match. I wouldn't mind seeing that return in some form.

For those who haven't seen The Grudge Match, two people fought in a wrestling ring for three rounds with different objects, like oversized boxing gloves, whipped cream pies, those giant Q-Tips from American Gladiators, etc. It was all in fun, as the competitors shook hands and let bygones be bygones at the end of each match.

Didn't a certain future Minnesota politician have a role on this short-lived show?

Umm...yes, as Mr. Shuffield's post states above.

EDIT: Second time in as many weeks that I've been beaten to the punch by Matt O. Can't be a coincidence. :-)

One other show that, for some odd reason, comes to mind after reading that..........

I believe there was a court show called "Moral Court" or something like that.

Blah........the only court shows I watch are People's Court (watch it more than any of the others), Judge Judy, and Judge Joe Brown.

I smell crap with the pilots. X_X

Yeah I P much, but I usually don't skip over complete threads when respondings. That's the misplay of the day for Invision.

Zach, even those of us who generally aren't bothered by your irrelevant narcissism really don't need to know about your personal habits.

Fedya · « **Reply #10 on:** March 17, 2005, 09:53:45 PM »

Ah, but there was already a People's Court home game.

(My parents actually bought this back in the 1980s. They're big fans of all those ghastly faux-court shows.)

Umm...Zach, I didn't skip over someone's comments, so that's a misplay for YOU. Take credit for your own mistake.

What about "Guilty or Innocent?", the courtroom show/game show hybrid from 1984?

But if there's a "Grudge Match" revival, Sarah Michelle Gellar would be a sensational host!

But nowhere near as good as Pat O'Brien would be. He's the best.
