Impact Wrestling star Eric Young is set to host Dangle Bet Celly, a new NHL hockey-centric fantasy sports show on Game+.
Anthem’s Game+ announced today that Young will host the show alongside fantasy sports expert Chris Meaney, with episodes dropping on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10am Eastern.
Young discussed the show in a press release:
“Hockey has long been a passion of mine, and I’ve always appreciated the similarities between it and the wrestling world. Hard-hitting action, intense drama, and bitter feuds get cranked up to the maximum when the championship is on the line, and Chris and I are excited to get in there and break down all the intrigue of the Playoffs as we help viewers make the best fantasy picks and place the smartest bets.”
Impact’s Scott D’Amore, who also works at the Executive Vice President of Content Creation for Anthem’s Sports Groups said:
“This series marks an exciting synergizing of two top Anthem assets, as one of IMPACT Wrestling’s most renowned athletes joins Game+ in a move that strongly illustrates the unique power and smart strategy of Anthem’s diverse portfolio,” D’Amore said. “We are constantly looking for organic ways to blend our properties, and partnering Eric Young with Chris Meaney for an all-new hockey series was a natural fit from the very beginning. These two have an undeniable chemistry and a great understanding of the game and all it entails, and I’m confident that viewers are really going to enjoy what they have to offer.”
