Steve Austin's Broken Skull Ranch Challenge

Channel: eReality (Openview 108)
TX Time: 16h10
Genre: Reality Competition

Steve Austin's Broken Skull Ranch Challenge

The brain-child of wrestling icon Steve Austin, this series pits elite athletes against everyday men and women in the ultimate test of strength, stamina and wit.

Each episode features eight contestants in head-to-head battles, until the last man or woman standing earns the right to take on the toughest obstacle course in America created by Austin himself, the "Skullbuster," for a chance to win cash.

Broken Skull Challenge combines Steve's fierce love for physical competition with extreme challenges using the core tenants from such current fitness trends as CrossFit and Spartan Race.

Austin's half-mile "Skullbuster" features 10 obstacles designed to stop even the most hardcore athletes, built to progressively break the body down.

Everyone's equal at the ranch, as women find themselves subject to the same punishment as men.

In the first episode, there is no shortage of adrenaline as eight men battle for the win in Trench Warfare, The Pulverizer and The Junkyard. If they lose, they leave.

Steve Austin's rules are fair, and competitors are quick to learn that even those with the most physical power may not be a match against pure determination.

In the end, only one athlete will make it to the Skullbuster and even then, there are no guarantees he will complete it.
