Default Would you?

A typical late night for me sitting on standby, watching TV. Well I stumble upon one of the greatest show's ever on ESPN Classic. "American Gladiators!!!!"

So the question is, how many people would go on that show if it was still running? I know as a kid I thought it was awesome and would've loved to do it! Now I look at it and see how cheesy some of the stuff is, but right now this episode the Mullets' seem to rule the haircut style of the era

I was in elementry school when that show was still a hit. We would get in trouble for pulling each other off of the monkey bars with our legs just like the ring game.

Good memories!

There was a game on the NES? Holy smokes! I need to find that. Does it have the game on it where you shoot the balls at the target while dodging tennis balls?

Yeah I remember that show. I used to think it was cool when they would stand on a high pedestal and try to knock each other off with those sticks.

I am so far the only vote for "You've never heard of "Nitro, Lace, Zap, Malibu, etc.."

I wasted about three minutes on google trying to figure it out. I came to the conclusion that I am proud to have voted the way that I did.

Youtube.com has some clips from the old episodes, including games like The Eliminator, Whiplash, and Powerball.

Most college guys have an obession with them. It is funny to think that they were actually fashionable in the '80s.
