Crush, Fury, Hellga, Justice, Mayhem, Militia, Siren, Stealth, Titan, Toa, Venom, and Wolf.
I defy you to sort out the male and female gladiators from that list of names (hint: it’s split 50/50). Despite the current information on Wikipedia, there is no gladiator named “Hand Job” (archived in this image; someone probably changed it by now).
Last night, I watched the last half-hour of the revival of American Gladiators. No, there’s no lions. No swordfights. No emperors giving a thumbs-down.* Very little blood.**
Instead it’s some everyday people competing in these athletic events, some events utilize the Gladiators as some sort of obstacle. The contestants get money if they win, I think. (It’s worth noting that the female gladiators are more muscular than me. I don’t know whether that reflects worse on them or me.)
It was interesting to watch, and will probably catch it again tonight, but it would help if Hulk Hogan didn’t keep calling everyone “Brother”, as frequently as twice a sentence. I did not catch whether he invoked this trademark word on any female contestants.

I am so glad I don’t bet on sports.
Speak for yourself.
Wahrheit went 4-0.
I still can’t believe you told people we could win them money last week. Now everyone can see you can’t make good judgments. You’re the kind of guy that would choose Velma over Daphne. We can’t trust someone like that.
Whuh? You mean from Scooby Doo?
Yar, if someone asked you which one you’d rather date, and for normal people (ie, not you) Velma’s just too, well, ugly.
Look, this blog is weird enough without getting into conversations about which cartoon characters are cuter.
I like that Esurance chick.
OK, fine! You’re a cartoon, it makes sense for you! It doesn’t for me!
*Sigh* I guess you’re going to want my picks for next week?
By tomorrow night, if you can.
As long as you don’t lord it over me if I go 0-4 next week.
Sure thing.
You really wouldn’t choose Velma, would you?
Er…yeah…probably I would.
Seriously? *Blanches* OK, that makes things easy…my picks for next week are the opposite of yours.
