Let's hope it's just as cool as the old one.

Aye, here's hoping.

I find it weird that they didn't mention Powerball. That was always an audience favorite.

I'm waiting with baited breath for Swingshot (personally, my favorite game), Pyramid, Breakthrough & Conquer, and Atmosphere as well. And the new Eliminator better kick ass. Bring back the Treadmill section or I draw blood!

Maybe they could get Larry Csonka to return for a second run.

Should be great, especially in the anemic post-strike TV landscape. I like the choice of Hogan as a host, too.

The guy's pose on the bottom looks straight out of a gay porn mag.

Homoeroticism is no stranger to American Gladiators. But on the plus side, every now and then there'll be a female contestant who doesn't look like a dude. I saw some reruns of the old Gladiators on ESPN Classic, and the one chick who was actually attractive apparently won that whole season. Which seems a bit suspect, but I'm not one to complain.

American Gladiator sucks. Sasuke is much better.

Putting the two together would result in testosterone oozing out our TV screens.

What sucks about Gladiators?

Re: American Gladiator Returns

I like how NBC is running a promo that's supposed be all epic and stuff with the gladiators running across the plain and doing battle and what not but they still use the nerf joust sticks.

Well, while it would be nice to have them going after each other with actual weapons in the show, you know there'd be a few party-poopers who would cry about the public loss of life.

what do you think this is?

Re: American Gladiator Returns

I guess if they really want the show to be a success, they should include an event where contestants and gladiators see who can yell that the loudest.

Powerball was fun to watch and so was Assault. Hope they use those games.

I think the point was that the commercial was so epic, them running with all the smoke and flair, but they're still just carrying the big padded joust sticks so it looks goofy.
