Time: The early 1990s. Latenight, channel-surfing the local stations on the weekend... DUM... dum... DUM... dum... Bump-bada-bumppump-baa! DIDDLY-DIDDLY-DAAAH!!! Bump-bada-bumppump-baa! DIDDLY-DIDDLY-DAAAH!!! Yes, it was that time of the week again. Time for steroid-crazed freaks in red, white, and blue spandex, to shoot tennis balls at contestants while Mike Adamle and Larry Czonka commentated. Time for "American Gladiators." And soon it will be time again. According to Variety, NBC is bringing back the show. And it's about goddamned time. I wonder what the tryouts are like. I'd be sorely tempted to try out again, but the pullup test for men was brutal.
So the website is up. Now that I actually see some of the implementation, I'm torn. They've really subdued the patriotic red, white, & blue costume color scheme. And they seem to have deliberately made the gladiators look trashy and a little slutty. But on the other hand they haven't gone so far that the girls have visible camel-toes. I mean, shit. Why go halfway. If you're going for seedy, you might as well go the whole nine yards.
YES, ITS BACK! They'd just better have all the great events. Powerball, Atlasphere, Assault, and Jousting. None of that pansy-ass bungee stuff. My friends and I actually developed Powerball into an awesome, full-contact sport. It was win. edit: HOLY FUCK, HULK HOGAN IS HOSTING THE SHOW!!!
