Steve Austin’s Return To TV, Super SmackDown On Election Day, Garza Retired

– Cable network CMT sent out a press release announcing the premiere date for Season 2 of Steve Austin’s reality show, Redneck Island. The show returns on Saturday, November 10 at 9pm (EST) and will be followed by the premieres of two new shows: Chainsaw Gang and Big Texas Heat. From the announcement:

REDNECK ISLAND returns for a second season with fourteen red, white and blue-collared Americans descending on Steve Austin’s tropical island for their chance to win a $100,000 prize. In the first episode, the contestants think they’re on easy street when they see that their living conditions are better than expected, but they soon realize the competition is serious during their first challenge, a game of human cornhole. New episodes of REDNECK ISLAND will premiere weekly at 9:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m., ET/PT.

– Thanks to Devin Cutting for sending in this information regarding a “live” Super SmackDown broadcast on Tuesday, November 6th:

Super Smackdown returns to SyFy on Tuesday, November 6th, 2012 at 8 PM. It’s being advertised as a live broadcast, however WWE is in England that week, so Super Smackdown will actually be taped earlier in the day.

Since there is a Raw house show happening at the same time as the taping, this edition of Super Smackdown won’t involve the entire roster. A replay of Super Smackdown will air that Friday in Smackdown’s normal time slot.

– Mexican wrestler Hector Garza, who wrestled for WWE, WCW and TNA, has been diagnosed with lung cancer, according to PWInsider.com. Garza will undergo chemotherapy sessions and has been forced into retirement.
