Shocking allegations from MMATKO (via TheGarv) that could shake the foundations of an American television institution:
I knew from the beginning that the show advertised for tough guys to apply and they would be chosen based on some sort of bully mentality towards their friends. I did not find out until a few days ago that not one of the bullies had in fact, ever bullied the actors that have played the part of the victims.
I spoke with a friend that helped with the production of the show and was told that most of the bully/victim combo had never even met prior to the taping of each episode.
Take bully Jon from the last episode with Jake Shields. Last year he was on the Fox TV show Battle of the Bods where Jonathan proclaimed to be a professional stuntman as he judged the bodies of young women.
Even though Bully Beatdown is filled with actors the fights are mostly real. The stuntmen do try to fight back against the Pro MMA fighters but their payday comes not from the 10,000 prize money offered up but from the money guaranteed on the contract they signed going into the fight.
Look, I know you have to suspend disbelief to some extent whenever you’re watching a "reality television" show — we know that none of those women are really there for the love of Ray J , and Heidi and Spencer are actually cousins in real life — but was it too much to ask that real bullies would get their comeuppance on Bully Beatdown? How you gonna do us like that, Mayhem?

Wow I knew you guys still loved me. lol I can't believe all the messages. Ok this is going to be my only post as I'm sure I won't be able to post after this. The owner of this board won't show my posts. However that works I'm not sure. This last project that was on TV this past Sunday called Bully Beat Down is just like a movie, it's scripted. All is fake. Come on it's MTV for goodness sake. Just for your info I signed a contract that the fight will be at 240lbs. It also stated that I had to go down in the 2nd round. Hence Bully Beat Down. You get it? I wanted to get paid, so I had to follow the contract. It was a large sum of money plus the money distributed from the fight. If it didn't show me getting beat what kind of a show would it be? The show was filmed in SLC awhile ago. Surprised you guys didn't know that. Besides I'm back at my weight from before the fight which is 205. EJG36 is the only one that knew it was fake. Congratulations to you EJG36 you had obviously had experience or knows someone in the profession. Yes it's all about exposure and getting my handsome face out there. I have lots of projects I'm working on right now and just signed a contract for a new movie that will be out next year. You guessed it I play a Bully transformed into a nice guy ironic isn't it? Hey watch me on "Lie to Me". I subdue an assassin after he kills the Mayor. I'm getting my SAG card from this show. Also see me in the new movie coming out this year called 2012 with Danny Glover and Cusak. Not a main star yet but I'm working on it. Not bad for only being in the business for 6 months. So go ahead and post your fatso posts it's fun to read them.
Just to let you know. BYU was a great place and I love it there as I visit quite often. Also, there were 4 players that I invited to the filming that were there.
Even the fights are staged.
the whole show the bully telling the victims to fuck off and then at the very end of the show, out of nowhere, the bully apologizes
I would love to go on a show like this and act like a total ass. Depending what the actual payout is I would take a beating with some headgear on.
Either someone is in serious denial, or someone is trolling. Either way you are a dumbass and shouldn't be allowed to operate a computer.
and it's "they're" as in "they are actors"
