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
