Today PWU superstar and ex-WWE Trainee TRON was announced as the new face of BBC’s Top Gear. Producer Andy Wilman released a statement this morning:

We are pleased this morning to announce that we have ended the search for our replacement for Jeremy Clarkson and ultimately we decided that bigger was better. Whilst at 6 foot 5 inches Jeremy was by no means a small man we decided that the only way of improving was to go taller, and at over 7 foot Tron fitted the bill perfectly.  We are in the process now of trying to find cars that he can physically fit in, although we will of course force him into a Mini for comedic effect.

Co-star Richard Hammond was said to be excited with the news and asked if he could “ride along in his pockets”. When asked for a comment other co-host James May looked bewildered and asked where he was and if anyone knew how to get home, when we explained further about the announcement he refused to comment until he knew if it was “the original Tron from 1982 or that shite Daft Punk remake”.

Tron himself seemed delighted at the news although commented that May and Hammond where “a bunch of dicks” and said he was putting the whole Top Gear team on notice because, unlike Clarkson, he punches people for a living.
