Animals are ecstatic at the news of camel wrestling getting picked up by a major network. Wrestling events, like the one above, have been growing in popularity over the last decade.

Up until now, CWE has only been shown on smaller networks, such as UPN (Ungulate Paramount Network) and The CW (Camel Watchers Network).

Camel wrestling originated in 1952 as the Camel Wrestling Corporation, but has been going by its current name since 1980 when Wince McMahon took over the helm from his late father.

The CWE has a long history of churning out, not only memorable matches, but famous, household name wrestlers, such as Bulk Hogan, Randy “Macho Camel” Ravage, and The Ultimate Furrier.

Look for the CWE on Friday nights at 9 pm on CBS starting next week right after Kangaroo MMA at 8 pm.
