About the series

Steve Austin's Broken Skull Challenge is an American competition reality television series that originally debuted on July 6th, 2014 on Country Music Television. The show is produced by 51 Minds Entertainment, presented by the former WWE wrestler Steve Austin and executive produced by Christian Sarabia, Rabih Gholam, Steve Austin, Jack Heller and Vince Cariati. The latest fifth season kicked off on September 26th, 2017 with brand new episodes.

Each episode of the series portrays a group of eight same-sex contestants competing in a number of strenuous physical challenges. Contestants usually have athletic backgrounds and/or participated in other obstacle course competitions. Steve Austin's Broken Skull Challenge is held at “Broken Skull Ranch”, not the actual one in Texas owned by Steve Austin, but an area near LA that is used to represent it. The challenges are undertaken in a head-to-head competition, and the contestants are eliminated in each round. The last one standing has to pass another tough obstacle course and has a chance to win upwards of $10 000.

It's too bad the canceled the Broken Skull Challenge. It was a great show. It's too bad that a streaming network won't take the show. Even if Steve Austin doesn't want to host, let someone else take it on. A lot of fans would love to see it come back!!!!!

I would do whatever it takes to bring back "Broken Skull Ranch"!
If Mr. Austin can't host it, with his permission, let this bad s.o.b. carry the torch! (...with all respect to Steve Austin.)
This is a last true competition event, with all others being fixed these days.
Including(!) boxing and mma!, and this is coming from a boxing coach and trainer!
For once, do something for the viewers and real competitors... ressurect "Broken Skull Ranch"!!!!!

I'm guessing the reason that season 6 isn't underway is because they're having too tough of a time finding anyone who has a chance at beating hunter. The sheriff is too good!!

Why can't CMT get its act together on bringing back BSR. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that the show is immensely popular. Where is Season 6?

I love this show and I am nearly 70. It burns me up to get attached to a show and some idiots to cancel it. People are tired of acting, they want to see real people compete. There is not a way this show is not top of the list. Ninja warrior is alright, but their trying to beat a clock. Broken skull is a hands on competition.

Really good show. Viewership would be improved with a better time slot and/or more repeats of shows at better time slots. Guarantee it would do better. Keep it going.

CMT needs to advertise this show on other networks. I stumbled upon this while channel surfing. It is now my favorite show. BUT, I don't, and no one I know watches CMT. I tell my friends about this show. And, even after all of these seasons, no one has even heard of it.
If this show gets cancelled, it's CMT's fault.
