but that was like 10 years ago... "American Gladiators, what the fuck is that? Oh... that show where they had guys and womens running around in metal hamster balls and fighting with giant q-tips". Then they'd have to acknowledge that Rico is relatively old AND fought dudes with a giant q-tip.

And had a helmet mullet that would make lesser men weep.

Point taken.
However, it'd still be cool to see Rico sans crappy hockey-stick-chops that he has now.
Why? Rick Martel had the same gimmick 10-15 years ago, and didn't need those. He had *STYYYYYYYYLE*.
Oh -- and AG is BattleDome... but doesn't *suck*. BD didn't have the lovely Lace to wrap her l-- Sorry... getting off on a tangent. *EG* ;)
Hey, if *I* had been on American Gladiators and won my season, you could be sure I'd be telling people about it until the day I died.
That shit owns, man.
Giant Q-tip indeed. You wouldn't be saying that if it was swung by a 250 lb. man at your head.

Sure, the giant Q-Tips of Joust were fun and all, but nothing beats the ONE HUNDRED MILE PER HOUR TENNIS BALLS OF DOOM that were shot at you when you played Assault.

Man, the Tennis Ball launcher was a TACK DRIVER =)
On June 27th, 2002, the Montreal Expos (number one on the MLB contraction list) added MONEY to their payroll, aquiring Bartolo Colon. In a time like this, there's two quotes that come to the forefront;

Giant Q-Tip's rock. When I graduated they had a school-sponsored party at a country club that if you signed up for you had to go to or else the cops would bust you and call your parents. Everyone I know was forced to go so it wasn't bad..... but I marked out when I got there. Outside they had all these attractions and one was a huge inflated ring with huge posts to stand on, we all wondered what it was until they busted out the huge Q-Tips. I remeber the guy yelling at me to stop doing head shots when I beat the hell out of one of my friend's heads with like 10 head shots with it to knock him off (they are heavy). What's sad though is they had another huge ring that was a boxing ring and they gave you big inflatiable gloves to box with. And it was 3 rounds..... so my friend and I being dumb wrestling nerds recreated Piper vs Mr. T.... he got pissed that I bodyslammed him too hard. Fun times.

American Gladiaters were nothing compared to Battle Dome. I saw a guy break in ankle on that show. Plus, they had those triplets that posed in Playboy in it.

The only cool thing about Battle Dome was that Midajah's husband was one of the Heels.
Besides, can you remember how many seasons of AG were on compared to the Dome?
And besides, do we REALLY need to go into the nonsense that was the Battledome/WCW Invasion?

The best thing about watching American Gladiators is knowing that in his prime, color commentator Larry Csonka could have obliterated everyone in the arena. If you've never watched tapes of his years with the Dolphins, do it now. The guy got called for unnecessary roughness once for a stiffarm...that made the defensive back cartwheel in the opposite direction. Unbelievable.

That Nitro recap is truly, heartbreakingly cruel. I was looking forward to reading your description of the two Goldberg victories. Oh, wait. There it IS!
