Waffles In My VCR

Conviction Carano

In case you missed it, or want to see it again, here's the fight between Gina Carano (aka Crush) and Kaitlin Young. Crush wins, of course. Here she is kicking this chick's ass.

I've got my spine, I've got my orange Crush

Tell me that's not the sweetest thing you've ever seen, and you're not human. Or maybe you're just not as completely obsessed and enamored with Crush as I am. And if that's the case, shame on you. What the hell is your problem? This is the most perfect woman on the face of the planet. I mean she got teary eyed when a guy with fake fangs sang Happy Birthday to her, for Pete's sake. She is adorable. I'm pretty much in love with her. I would marry her tomorrow. Elope, shot gun wedding in Vegas style.

Ok, now that I'm done completely fantarding, on to the point of this. And the point of this is.... drum roll please......

Two legs are better than one

Meet John.

He only has one leg. 'Inspirational', ain't it? At least that's what we're supposed to think.

It's back

The new American Gladiators is back for season two, and Hulk Hogan is back to host. And he STILL looks like Janice from The Muppet Show.

The hair, brother, THE HAIR. It looks like a yellow mop made out of shiny hay. But I guess when you're the Hulkster you can do whatever the hell you damn well please and get away with it. Apparently that includes being as daft and annoying as possible while hosting this show. And calling people 'brother' as many times as physically possible. (I think I'm going to have to start a 'brother' count.)

So the credits roll and Hulk proceeds to tell us about the brand new arena, the brand new gladiators, the brand new events, and even the brand new baby Laila has on the way.

Just so we don't think she's gorged herself on Twinkies over the break.

Expect a lot more in Hellga vision

Season 2 of American Gladiators premieres in less than 24 hours. Rejoice!

To get you pumped up, I thought I'd show you a little preview.

American Gladiators: A preface

American Gladiators. From the first time I saw this show, I was instantly hooked. Not being athletic or very into sports, I'm not sure why it gave me such a hard on, but it did. Maybe it was the outlandish, cartoony, cheesiness of it. Maybe it was the fact that it was like a big competitive game show. Or maybe it was the fact that that they played the kind of games I would have probably made up in my back yard if the show hadn't already made them up for me. I'm not sure what it was exactly about American Gladiators that blew my 8 year old mind, but the bottom line is, it did.
