During his debut appearance on Dancing With the Stars last week, Chuck Liddell tried to pretend that he was Mr. Nice Guy Charming Won’t Punch Your Face In, and his discomfort was palpable. Last night, the gloves came off (literally), and Chuck was out for blood. Highlights included Anna Trebunskaya’s spot-on John Hackleman impression at the very beginning, and the insane Iceman pose at 1:14. (Is he going to end every dance like that from now on? We can only hope.) The performance earned Liddell a score of 19, which tied him for second-to-last with three other competitors. Only Tom DeLay and Kathy Ireland fared worse, with scores of 18. In other words, the Iceman will probably live to dance another day.
Oh, and by the way?
That…
Just…
HAPPENED.
I was hoping when the judge said, “I can see you worked really hard…” that he’d add, “…if only you’d worked that hard on keeping your left hand up against Shogun.”
I’ve never watched one of these shows before. I don’t think I could bear to watch that clip again. Some fighters can dance, I didn’t think Chuck’s style would transfer well to the dance floor. I think similarly of Lesnar, Jardine and Wanderlei. Anderson may be a good prospect for the future, but I’m still not watching this show.
