The creator of Celebrity Deathmatch looks back at the versus show’s weirdest highlights
In the third episode of Celebrity Deathmatch’s second season, Calista Flockhart slams Lucy Lawless’ head into a copy machine, wraps a telephone cord around her neck, and then bounces off the ropes to deliver a gut-wrenching blow. But right before impact, Lawless bends at the waist and absorbs Flockhart’s literal head of steam right up her ass. In what color commentator Nick Diamond describes as a “devastating rectal clutch,” the deemed-legal move changes the course of the match, and the Xena actress quickly drags Flockhart’s squirming, headless body up to the top rope to slam her way to victory.
