TIGHT! Anyone familiar with Ultimate Ninja Warrior. It is a Japanese version of American Gladiators. Not quite as exciting, but often more dangerous. I wonder if the new American Gladiators is going to have the semi-auto-tennis-ball-shooter. That thing was so cool. If I had a 50000 ft2 facility, it would be on my list of things to get, right after gigantic trampouline and just before indoor waterfall.

YES indeed I have. I'm a fan of Ninja Warrior on the G4 channel. I think its great--Most Extreme Elimination Challenge Meets American Gladiators. It's very entertaining because those who are skilled enough to make it to the later stages show their true talents and athleticism while the not-so ninja-like are eliminated. January 6th we shall see but here is a sneak peak: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/arash_markazi/12/18/on.scene/index.html

I received visual confirmation via a tv commercial preview that Assault and its semi-automatic-tennis-ball-shooter will be making the comeback in full force!

Gotta love it. My favorite was the guy who tried out for the original American Gladiators, solely because he does pushups and squats with his baby daughter on his back. My competitive nature embraces this extreme sport, but the skeptic conspiracy theorist is reminded of the movie Running Man by Arnold. I just hope we don't take it all the way back to ancient Rome. 'We who are about to die, salut you.' haha.
give the people bread and the circus and they won't revolt.

The rumor is true! I love it. I couldn't believe it when I heard this either... I wonder how many of the old events will remain on the show? I hope Assault will be on the new show--that was my favorite.
