In 1996, Paul Heyman's controversial Extreme Championship Wrestling program was thrown off a number of sports channels and television stations because of a lesbian kiss between wrestling divas Beulah McGillicutty and the appropriately-named Kimona Wanalaya.

12 years later, Heyman still subscribes to the Howard Stern theory that lesbian kisses cause controversy.

Heyman Hustle: ECW Lesbian Kiss For Ami Cusack and Flicka Smith

Heyman is launching "The Heyman Hustle" with NewsCorp-owned The UK Sun next Monday, February 18th. On Thursday, the Hustle crew took their cameras to Times Square, looking to land some interviews with cast members of the CBS smash "Survivor" at the W Hotel, which was hosting a private party for the cast and crew on the night of the season premiere.

CBS, however, blocked all media from attending the event, as Whiskey General Manager John Bracciante stated that CBS didn't want the cast members seen in public until the end of the season, or until they're voted off.

Heyman's crew shows up anyway, and sets up shop on the street. The Extreme Wrestling producer starts interviewing people on the street, which is probably more interesting than most of the cast members (with the exception of Eliza, who is my personal favorite and an absolute angel).

Ami Cusack, whose Playboy spread was the best selling issue of all the Survivor cast pictorials, came out of the W, and Heyman's cameras pointed right in her direction. Heyman started the interview that CBS didn't want to take place, when "Flicka" Smith, who pays the rent by being a rough and tumble Roller Derby queen, joined in. Cusack, who alternates claims between being bisexual and lesbian, started a heavy kissing session with the skate girl, and both Heyman and The Sun had their sneak peek without spending the first dollar of their advertising budget. Here's the video of the kiss heard 'round the reality world, courtesy of The Sun.

The Heyman Hustle debuts on the UK Sun next Monday, February 18.   Some NSFW photos of Cusack here.
