Well its back, and I wish I could say better than ever. I remember this show being a lot cooler when I was a kid. Although, they have introduced some new events and made some old ones better. The problem is the interviews seemed rehearsed and have a reality TV feel to them. Also, the events seem to have no bearing on the competition, it comes down to who has the most endurance in the eliminator. At least this time around the Gladiators look more athletic than like body builders, which is the opposite of athleticism. There is a huge difference from looking big and being strong. Which is why I tell my athletes all the time, "I would rather pick something heavy up, than look good trying."
This reminds me of a quote that my dad references all the time that used to hang in the OSU wrestling room. "If it were all about muscle a bull could catch a rabbit."
