American Gladiators, brother!

You know what we need less of is?  American Gladiators.

Why American producers haven't gotten hip to adapting Japan's Sasuke to the American market is a f**king mystery to me.  Sure, you can see it on G4 under the title Ninja Warrior but if some network were to mimic the formula entirely, we would have a phenomenon bigger than American Idol.

The Sasuke course in any incarnation would make short work of Laser, Flame or whichever Gladiator you can think of.
