OVERNIGHT AUDIENCE FOR FOX'S LABOR OF LOVE FEATURING MATT STRIKER

By Mike Johnson on 2020-05-22 14:59:00

The debut episode of FOX reality series Labor of Love, featuring former WWE star Matt Striker among the competitors vying to be picked by Kathy Katzman, a career woman trying to find the best potential father to have a child with, brought in 909,000 viewers last night.

During the episode, which featured an appearance from Striker's mother, Striker was asked to give a sample of his, ahem, manhood and promised that his sperm would produce an offspring that "could do backflips off the top rope, bodyslam a 400 lb. man and entertain millions of fans around the world."

Striker survived the first round of eliminations and will continue on with the series next Thursday.

Promotional material for the series notes: "Labor of Love will follow Kristy Katzmann, a 41-year-old smart, successful and beautiful career woman who seems to have it all — except the one thing that she wants the most: a child. Katzmann has yet to meet a potential father and, in the show, will be matched with 15 men who are ready to let their paternal sides shine.  Each week, the aspiring fathers-to-be will be faced with challenges that will put their parenting and partnership skills to the test. If they prove worthy, they will advance to the next week, and for those who don’t, Kristy will let them know that she does not see herself starting a family with them. After eight weeks of challenges and romantic dates Kristy will decide if she has found the man with whom she’d like to settle down and start a family or if she’d rather continue on the path to motherhood on her own."

Striker, 45 years old, had a WWE run from 2005 to 2013 as a wrestler and announcer before exiting and hosting all three seasons of Lucha Underground on the El Rey Network.  He still regularly does announcing for FITE.TV.
