Bischoff Hervey Entertainment Television LLC (often shortened to Bischoff Hervey Entertainment or BHE TV) was a Los Angeles based[2] production company, founded in 2003[citation needed] by Eric Bischoff and Jason Hervey. The company produced and broadcast various forms of television entertainment, including reality and game shows.[3] Their first show was I Want To Be a Hilton.[4] In addition, the company was involved in producing mobile games.[5]
History
[edit]BHE TV produced a live Girls Gone Wild pay-per-view event from Florida in 2003 with WWE and another pay-per-view about the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in 2004. They also executive produced the VH1 reality shows I Want To Be a Hilton, Scott Baio Is 45...and Single, Scott Baio Is 46...and Pregnant, and Confessions of a Teen Idol. BHE TV was also credited on CMT shows Billy Ray Cyrus...Home At Last and Outlaw Country.[6] BHE TV also produced a professional wrestling reality show called Hulk Hogan's Celebrity Championship Wrestling in which ten celebrities were trained to wrestle and one celebrity is voted off weekly. In January 2013, Bischoff and Hervey produced the television series Hardcore Pawn: Chicago.
In 2006 BHE and Socko Energy Drinks signed a multi-year promotional deal with World Wrestling Entertainment.[7][8] The following year, BHE and Socko announced a deal with Wal-Mart to carry a Hulk Hogan branded energy drink.[9]
In 2011, BHE was filming a show called Miami's Finest: Special Operations Section, which caught on film the Miami Police Department's killing of a suspect.[10]
In 2012, BHE TV acquired a 50% ownership stake in games-development company MX Digital founded by Ike McFadden.[11][12]
In 2012, BHE entered into a consulting agreement with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA). The agreement continued until 2019, when TNA was accused of breaching the contract.[13]
