Spike Slates Two Originals

NEW YORK: The new Spike TV original series Half Pint Brawlers and Scrappers are to make their debut as a block, airing back-to-back, starting in June.

The six-episode Half Pint Brawlers follows the adventures of a "little person" wrestling group as they entertain crowds in venues across the U.S. The group is led by Puppet "The Psycho Dwarf," who as the owner must deal with a host of issues surrounding the events, while also keeping his wrestlers in line. Scrappers, a ten-episode comedic reality show, is set on the streets of Brooklyn. Each episode watches as a crew of real-life competitors and friends hunt for the best "scrap" in town, be it twisted metal, paper or rubber.

"The driving forces behind these new shows are the tremendous personalities of these very distinctive characters," said Sharon Levy, Spike TV’s senior VP of original series. "We believe their authenticity and honesty will resonate with our young male audience."
