Bully Beatdown Using Pro Stuntmen To Act Part Of Bully
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.
I knew that the show was a litte fake but I am disappointed in just how fake it really is.

I'll still watch. Yeah, i already knew it was a work. Just wish mayhem wouldn't act like it was completely real. Also Mayhem created a thread (on another site)about the real story behind the show where he refuted the notion that the show was in any way scripted or fake.

Miller has kinda hinted that something along the lines happens.... thus why i keep watching this train-wreck of a show.

It would be awesome if they found some dude that just had ridiculous KO power and he knocked the MMA fighter cold. Then took off his headgear and threw it on his unconscious body

I made a post on the UG...... it grew and grew and finally mayhem responded to my thread stating it was legit.
than a few mins later he made a thread of his own stating this

Bully Beatdown is completely fake. Everyone on it is actors. Everyone involved with the show knows that it is fake and we script pretty much everything that comes out of their mouth. I have not yet got an executive producer credit, or a writer's credit- but I write the bully's dialouge myself. I will be E.P. on season two. That's right, our scripted fake show is suppossedly doing so well done that we will be getting a season two. Makes my stomach hurt that I'm selling this slop. I'm sorry.
The fights are the most complicated portion of the show. The real trick is, hiring stuntmen that are so skilled that they can make it look like we are putting them in 16 oz gloves, headgear and convincingly get beat up by mixed martial artists. We looked high and low, but we found them, and made the show really convincing. Unfortunately, the people on the internet are much too bright to be fooled by this trickery, and have exposed us. This doesn't really affect us too much, because no one cares what a few back alley websites say about our hit MTV show, but I couldn't bear to read the forum with all this shame that I'm carrying around. I'm actually considering turning down the contract to host the next season because of the ridicule that I'm recieving on this board and others.
Again. I'm sorry interwebz. I apologize, sincerely.

as for Miller's post.... i think he was being sarcastic... i still think he's a douche bag for trying to act like it was legit.
Oh well... I will watch his fight against Trigg.
