I think he was definitely talking about Mayhem the whole time, just got his height and weight wrong. I think that all Justice and Hellga did the whole time was the last leg of the Gauntlet.

A big, athletic college wrestler would own their Gladiators. | Even though it's pretty good entertainment, I also think it's cheesey. My boy's like watching it, so that means I am too.
I would think most middle weight and up college wrestlers would way out slick those big dudes and put em down. | | |

That's the only episode of Ellen that I remember. It just stuck out to me because I always watched Gladiators so I thought it was funny when Nitro was on Ellen's show. *shrug*

My Mood: Tournaments Joined: 0 Tournament Wins: 0 | Re: American Gladiators Saw some of it and I agree with others that the cheesy factor is high. Almost high enough to make it a good bad show, but not quite. Does Hogan have some creative control over production? Sure seems that way. I may be old school, but I think the old one was better.
Fave quote from the first night: after a contestant takes a head blow from Justice and is stopped cold in (I think) gauntlet: "And justice was served facially". There's not enough space here for the comeback/punch lines to that one.

I know they are suppose to be big, but come on. that's my biggest issue right now.  | | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
