The word making the rounds at last night's WWE TV Taping in Long Island is that Eve Torres was pulled from TV to take part in a new NBC reality project that sees celebrities going through military-style training.
As we noted earlier today, Eve Torres has been off TV taking part in a new NBC reality series. The series will see celebrities taking part in a competition going through military-based training to earn money for their respective charity. Torres will be earning money for the USO, which WWE has a long-standing relationship with.
Interesting to note that actor Terry Crews, who is also part of the cast, did appear in WCW during the "Battledome" storyline as he was a member of that competition series. I somehow doubt that will get mentioned during this series!
An official press release for the series was issued this afternoon:
NBC ANNOUNCES CELEBRITY CAST AND HOSTS OF NEW SERIES ‘Stars Earn Stripes,’ AN EMOTIONALLY CHARGED NEW COMPETITION HONORING AMERICA’S ARMED FORCES
Hosts General Wesley Clark (ret.) and Samantha Harris Join Celebrity Cast Including Laila Ali, Dean Cain, Terry Crews, Nick Lachey, Todd Palin, Dolvett Quince, Picabo Street and Eve Torres in the Action-Packed Competition Show
