As reported earlier this year NBC will revive American Gladiators in 2008 with a new host, WWF legend (and reality TV star) Hulk Hogan.
NBC is currently taking contestant applications for the revamped 21st century American Gladiator. If David vs Goliath-style battles (and cro-magnon bestiality) are your thing apply online!
In a classic clip from American Gladiators Season One Malibu gets crushed in the chest during the “Human Cannonball” and talks about his injury. The final moments of the video are pure idiotic bliss - must-see TV indeed.
Check out Malibu’s bone-headed and bodacious video after the jump! Read More »

As America recovers from Ahmadinejaditis, I think we should take some time to remember Iran’s first famous cultural ambassador to the United States: the Iron Sheik.
Born Hossein Khosrow Vaziri, the Iron Sheik was a decorated amateur wrestler from Iran who later served as a bodyguard for the Shah and an assistant coach for the United States Olympic team in 1972, before he began training under Verne Gagne to become a professional wrestler.
Vaziri was christened the Iron Sheik and would go on to have a career as one of the greatest villains in the history of World Wrestling Entertainment when he defeated Bob Backlund to become World Champion on December 26th of 1983. Read More »

“Oh Yeaa!� Whether he was dropping the big elbow on Hulk Hogan, hoisting the lovely Miss Elizabeth (God rest her soul) upon his shoulder, or beating Robin Leech at croquet, one man defined manliness in the eighties and nineties and that was Randy “ the Macho Man� Savage.

His style was a combination of power moves, scientific wrestling, and aerial tactics that allowed him to believably compete with stars like Andre the Giant, “Million Dollar Manâ€? Ted Dibiase, Hulk Hogan, and Ric Flair, just to name a few. This style got its greatest exposure in 1987 at Wrestlemania III when his match with Ricky “The Dragonâ€? Steamboat received a standing ovation and stole the show from the main event: Hulk Hogan vs. Andre the Giant.
