I took the opportunity to watch NBC’s relaunch of the American Gladiators series last night. Stu was pretty excited about it at work yesterday, so I decided to give it a shot. What a steaming pile of monkey crap that show is. I would have figured if they were going to bring the show back they would at least have put a spin on things, come up with some fresh events or something. Instead all they have done is recast the show with new Gladiators and made Hulk Hogan and Laila Ali (Muhammed Ali’s daughter) the boring hosts of the show. Let me tell you brother, Hulk Hogan is no Mean Gene Okerlund when it comes to interviews.

I think the most amusing thing about the show is the fact one of the Gladiators practically is Ben Stiller’s character from Dodgeball, White Goodman. Before the rings event Wolf even said that he was going to eat his opponent. I was waiting for him to do the cobra dance to top it all off.
