firstly, props to aruny for bringing this to my attention.

forget that new bastardized reality shit-on version of american gladiators. this is WAY better.

sort of like MXC meets AG, but without the goofiness, and without the "gladiators". this is hands down much more challenging though.

That show is awesome.. I\'ve never seen it until now, so thank you.

I\'m not a huge fan of Gladiators, but I don\'t agree with you. The fact that there are "no gladiators" is way more important in comparing the two than you\'ve made it. I think the eliminator is weak, but any time I\'ve watched the show I was only interested in the battles between competitors and gladiators. That shit is entertaining, especially when they start talking shit and then get injured after taking a brutal hit from some dude twice their size. I still find it pretty corny overall though.

Ninja Warrior is an awesome show, and it\'s on like all fucking day.

I have actually had the pleasure of watching two people actually win the final round and become ninja warriors, quite possibly the two greatest moments of my entire life.

i just think that the things they\'re doing on ninja warrior are far more challenging, and take far more thought, skill, etc. than trying to push your way through a pile of meat (aka, "gladiator"). :shrug:

Been watching Ninja Warrior for a while, good stuff. I love how when the contestant falls, the audience reacts as if he had been shot.

Bottom line is that Ninja doesn\'t have Hulk Hogan and AG does.
