In the first episode of this series, eight rogue recruits have been selected to compete against each other to become professional wrestlers and win the Rogue to Wrestler title belt.
Over an intensive training programme, they are mentored by ICW owner and promoter Mark Dallas and two of his wrestling heavyweights, Lionheart and Jack Jester. The mentors put the rogues through a series of physical and performance challenges to find out who has what it takes to win the belt, and for a chance to join the wrestling company.
For the first week of training, the rogues attempt basic wrestling moves in the ring but quickly learn that wrestling hurts. And in a set of challenges designed to test their charisma, they face each other in an insult battle and perform in front of the public on an open top bus. By the end of the first episode, at least one rogue recruit is eliminated from the competition. Show less
