Many of sports' biggest names from the last two decades are getting
their chance to payback all the loud-mouth fans and cocky couch
potatoes who tormented them during their careers in season three of
Spike TV's hit series, "Pros vs. Joes." The new season premieres on
Spike TV with a special episode on Wednesday, January 23, 2008 at
11:00pm ET/PT featuring TNA superstar Kurt Angle.

After the special episode, the series will resume its regular
timeslot on Thursdays at 11:00pm ET/PT beginning January 24. In each
of the 10 episodes this season, regular guys compete in a variety of
different sports against an incredible array of sports legends.
Unlike in previous seasons, Spike TV shot the series at four iconic
stadiums: The Rose Bowl, The Superdome, The Orange Bowl and RFK
Stadium. The sixty-four contestants, or "Joes," this season are
grouped into four regional brackets, with the regional winners
meeting at the Rose Bowl for the finale. The final four contestants
of this season's "Last Joe Standing" will compete for a six-figure
cash prize.

For the first time, this season of "Pros vs. Joes" will feature a
superstar athlete in the prime of his football career, former Heisman
trophy winner, NFL All-Pro and current Miami Dolphin, Ricky Williams
on Thursday, January 31 at 11:00pm ET/PT. Williams taped the episode
in October, before re-joining the Dolphins in November.

The impressive roster for Season 3 includes a list of sports heroes
ranging from Heisman trophy winners to World Series heroes to hockey
and boxing hall-of-famers to an Olympic gold medalist. They include:
Brady Anderson, Jamal Anderson, Kenny Anderson, Kurt Angle, Jessie
Armstead, Joe Carter, Derrick Coleman, Paul Coffey, Sean Elliott,
Nick Van Exel, John Franco, Arturo Gatti, Jeff George, Allan Houston,
Rocket Ismail, Al Leiter, Charles Oakley, Christian Okoye, Dan
Majerle, Marty McSorley, Warren Moon, John Randle, Mitch Richmond,
Bob Sapp, Jimmy Smith, Pernell Whitaker, Ricky Williams, and Rod
Woodson.
