The UK Sun presented week two of the New York-based "Heyman Hustle" and the show is nothing short of laugh out loud funny.  The 2nd installment of the Hustle sees Heyman in the snow, riotously talking about how his crew wanted to tape the second episode in Hollywood with movie stars and naked Playmates, but he insisted on taping in wet cold Manhattan.

The scene is punctuated by another cameo (week one had Jesse Ventura show up and re-assure Heyman "there really is life after wrestling") by former ECW and WWE Diva Dawn Marie, who opens up her politically incorrect full length fur coat to flash the camera wearing nothing more than an undersized bikini.

Besides an endorsement of the Hustle by Jackass' Chris Pontius and Wee Man, the episode also serves as a very timely expose of The Naked Cowboy, aka Robert Burck. The popular self-proclaimed 3rd most popular New York City tourist attraction is in the midst of a publicity lottery victory, as the guitar playing Cowboy who strums the strings for money in Times Square in a Cowboy hat, boots, and his tighty whitey underwear has sued M&M Mars for 3 counts of copyright infringement because the candy conglomerate parodied him with a Naked Cowboy M&M cartoon on their big screen in Midtown.

Seeing the Cowboy playing in his underwear during the wintry mix was entertaining, but seeing him discuss his philosophies on marketing and branding while he got dressed into regular clothes by his garage-parked $60,000 Escalade opened our eyes up to the fact that even a man playing the guitar in his underwear for money in the middle of a snowstorm is just another hustler.

Episode two was a fun ride, and left you wondering what Heyman has in store for us in episode three.  Check out the episode here.
