American Gladiators? Seriously?

It's coming back to NBC in January of 2008.

Look at these buff people. Men that make you uncomfortable! Women that make you more uncomfortable!

How could you not want to shoot tennis balls at these people? What were your favorite competitions on American Gladiators? Could you possible be as patriotic as these people? These colors do run.











So how 'bout that writer's strike?

    They are re-making the Australian version of Gladiators as well.

    I remember the two finalists was an Ex-SAS guy and a surfer. The surfer won.

    I saw some reality show where they took a bunch of has been celebrities i.e. vanilla ice, stephen baldwin and tried to teach them to ride bulls in like a week or something ridiculous.

    Anyways, Nitro was one of them and he seemed like a pretty decent dude.

    Oh man, the other night my friends and I were watching American Gladiators on ESPN Classic. That show was classic 80s cheese. Every time Nitro talked, he said some insanely terrible metaphorical thing. "I'm Nitro and you're going to feel my explosion." "I'm like a hand grenade, once I blow up, you can't hold on to me." Shit like that. Without fail he'd say something confusingly stupid whenever he had the mic. That being said, I really hope the new one is just like the old one.
