American Gladiators

American Gladiators. Alas, once again, there is a whole new generation of kids that were born without the chance to grow up in the 80's, and who will have no idea what the American Gladiators were. For those poor, underprivileged children, I will now attempt to explain. First off, take Survivor. Add hair bigger than anything seen outside of WWF or my high-school yearbook. Then add games. None of this pansey "You've got to fit the puzzle pieces together and win immunity" bullshit. No, there was The Wall, which was like indoor mountain climbing, except other people tried to throw you off. And I remember there was The Joust, where you had two guys with giant Q-Tips trying to knock each other off a post. I don't remember this game, but it apparently involves grabbing ahold of the swinging ball and launching yourself at the other guy. Now we've got Survivor. Please. Give them all the big hair in the world, ain't no way these chicks could pass American Gladiators. Buncha pussies. They couldn't even make it on Fear Factor. weenies
