Does anyone remember the Spike TV show Pros vs Joes?
Amateur contestants matching themselves against Professional (mostly retired) athletes.
Examples. Pros- Goldberg- NFL, Wrestling
Dennis Rodman, NBA Bo Jackson, NFL, MLB
I have a male co-worker, about 40, who confidently says he could score a point against Serena Williams. (No he couldn’t). Or we all know the guy who says he could last a round with Mike Tyson.
Can we bring back a version of this show, only not as dumb as the original version?
What athletes would be good? What challenges?
Examples: Base Hit off a Major League pitcher
Catch a pass from NFL QB Layup against NBA player
