Is that was happening in the clip? I just saw a couple melons coming at me.

LOL I was a kid. We'd watch then re-enact the various competitions the next day.
So many events involved couch cushions.
Am I hallucinating that the best male contestant who seemed equal or better than the gladiators was named Purple Lotion?
Was that a thing? That is in my brain somehow.

I had American Gladiator pajamas. I am incredibly excited for this.
Elektra made me feel funny as a small boy.

I am friends with Malibu on Facebook. Not his fan page but actually him. I friended him years ago as a joke and he accepted. He is a down to earth dude and still loves that he played that character on the show.
Friggin American Gladiators man! Back when Pony was an elite brand and roids were strongly encouraged.
CONTENDER READY!?
GLADIATOR READY?!

We would strategically set up various furniture pieces with some sort of nerf gun at each furniture. We had a bar in the basement so one of us would sit/stand on the bar and throw tennis balls at the person moving between the furniture/trying to shoot the target on the bar with the various nerf guns.
We also had our version of joust. We'd each stand on an end table and hit each other with pillows until someone fell off an end table.
We also had a version of break through and conquer.
Surprisingly I survived my childhood with only a broken index finger.
This is basically a carbon copy of every Saturday night in the ole Brasky house.
We loved Saturday nights. American Gladiators and Saturday Night Thunder (live USAC Sprint car racing on ESPN).
I'd like to do a few cycles on the gas.
How does a guy get his hands on the stuff in 2023?
I'm pretty sure Up Down plays episodes of American Gladiator if you're looking for a fix.
It looks like it might also be on Pluto TV

I met Nitro at the Des Moines Grand Prix in the early 90s. He was there as one of the celebrities and my uncle had won a seat in the celebrity race, so I had a VIP pass to hang out. My brother and I were just hanging out in the hospitality tent after the last practice session of the day and Nitro (Dan Clark) came in, at that time, my brother and I were the only ones there, so he grabbed a beer and sat down at our table and we started shooting the ****. Then Gunnar Nelson came in and sat down with us too.
Richard Dean Anderson (Macgyver), was the big Celebrity name there, he then came in and started to raise a stink and yelled at security to clear the room. What a dickhead that guy was. By that time, there were maybe 10 people in the tent, it was big and we all belonged there. Anyway, Dan proceeded to tell security that none of us were leaving, then he started making fun of Macgyver and what a ****** show it was. Which I'm sure pissed Richard Dean off even more since he couldn't hear us talking, but we went from a nice quiet conversation to pretty loud bouts of laughter. He told us a few stories of what a **** Macgyver had been so far, not doing the stuff requested they do as a group, complaining about everything. So yeah, Dan was pretty cool.
What a scene that had to be. How great would it have been if McGuyver and Nitro got into a fist fight.
