World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) announced today that, despite the decline in popularity of midget wrestling in recent decades, the company will revive genre with a new program called 105 Live.
“Get ready for some low-flying action and adorable antics by teensy people with genetic abnormalities,” reads a press release issued today by WWE. “Sports-entertainment is going small in a big way!”
Competitors in the division must weight 105 pounds or less, and must be able to dress up like main-roster WWE Superstars whenever a nefarious wrestler wants to sarcastically impugn his opponent’s manliness.
The announcement has been decried by some human rights groups, which allege that midget wrestling is an outdated and offensive form of entertainment that “objectifies little people as adorable freaks performing silly antics for the amusement of the normal-sized audience.”
WWE mogul Vince McMahon responded to such allegations this morning: “Exactly!” McMahon chortled. “Look at their funny little bodies!”
The premier episode of 105 live will feature a tournament among 12 vertically challenged competitors to crown the first “L’il Champ.”
The world’s best midget wrestlers from around the world will compete for the glory, and the winner will be shot out of a cannon into a large custard pie, while McMahon pees himself laughing nearby.
