Spike TV is expected to debut a new half-hour reality show on midget pro wrestlers this summer, according to the New York Post.

The Post reports the show will be called "Half Pint Brawlers" and will feature the main character called "Puppet" and his "psycho midget wrestlers" touring the U.S. with their form of wrestling.

Spike TV executive Sharon Levy painted this as a chance for viewers to "learn about people that are different" and how they handle unique challenges.

"The fact that they are little people is irrelevant," Levy claimed. "No matter what that person looked like, if they came in and they had that personality, I was going to do a show about them -- they could've been coal miners with big personalities."

Caldwell's Analysis: There doesn't appear to be a tie-in with TNA at this point despite the midget wrestling reality show airing on Spike TV. It's a good thing WWE doesn't have their hands on this, otherwise WWE would try to "educate the audience" that midget wrestlers are to be considered pets, live under the ring in an alternate universe, and speak in grunts and crotch chops. In reality, midget wrestlers are human beings with real thoughts and emotions just like regular-sized people, which will apparently be the focus of the Spike show.
