The polls for your favorite male and female gladiator has less than a month to go. If you haven’t voted yet you can click here: Favorite Gladiator Polls
I’m surprised. I thought that Wolf and Crush would be the winners, maybe because they are my favorites. Why does Hurricane have so many votes? Have I missed something about him? I had no idea he was so popular. Can someone give me some info on this? I’m really curious.
Results so far: The male gladiators have 149 votes counted and Hurricane is in the lead with 72% of them. The female gladiators have 123 votes total. Phoenix is in the lead with 57% of the votes and Crush is next with 27%.
Here’s a little Wolf trivia: “Hollywood Yates is starring in a hilarious new movie called Fancypants, the story of a professional wrestler who’s afraid of conflict in real life. Hollywood is playing a character called ‘The Darkness’ - the hot new wrestler who’s taking the league by storm. Will he fight the undefeated “Leo the Blue Lion”? Fancypants wraps shooting last week of June. Look for it in 2009.”

There have been two episodes of ABC’s new show Wipeout. It reminds me of MXC, only unlike MXC, Wipeout is family friendly (more about MXC below). Episode three airs Tues, July 8, 8/7c. Check out the official website where you can watch episodes and get recaps. Wipeout Website See a video below of both shows to compare them.
Human cannonballs! Human pinballs! Crashes, smashes and mud splashes! Twenty-four thrill-seekers will compete in the world’s largest extreme obstacle course designed to provide the most spills, face plants and wipeouts ever seen on television, in Wipeout, a painfully funny new reality series.
Each week 24 daring new contestants of all ages, shapes and sizes will go head to head through four rounds of grueling and physically demanding but wildly hilarious obstacle courses to win the title of Wipeout Championand the grand prize of $50,000. The contestants and the courses change every week, with over-the-top obstacles including “Dizzy Dummy” the “Dirty Balls” and “The Dreadmill” - which will have contestants jumping hurdles on a 40-foot long treadmill at warp speed. In the end, only one contestant will win, while everyone else will Wipeout! read more…
About MXC: In Japan from 1986 to 1989 there was a popular gameshow called ‘Takeshi’s Castle’ where contestants have to run through obstacle courses. Often they ended up getting clobbered. MXC is a re-dubbing in English of that old show. It is funny but definitely not appropriate for kids (unless you turn the volume down all the way). The last new episode premiered in February 2007, and no word has been made at this time whether any more new episodes will be produced. On Spike, usually in the middle of the night, you can catch MXC.
This is a great song. The lyrics and info on Sea Wolf are below:
“You’re a Wolf”
I’m walking on the southern street, cut to the river ‘fore I run too low.

Old gypsy woman spoke to me, lips stained red from a bottle of wine.

“The one that you are looking for, you’re not gonna find her here.”

“The one that you are looking for, you’re not gonna find her here.”

Old gypsy woman spoke to me, said, “You’re a wolf, boy, get out of this town.”

They are really pushing Hellboy 2, The Golden Army, and making it look good. It will be in theatres July 11, 2008 (PG-13). The advertisements are pretty cool. They are so funny! Follow the link below to watch them:
On last night’s American Gladiators the contenders have all lost some major weight and are now in great shape. A new gladiator is introduced called Panther, Wolf gets a little beat up (and angry), Toa goes for a swim, and contender James Ruggiero steals the show with his wisecracks.
Check out the short video below featuring Wolf and Hellboy, it’s funny. Click the links below for a complete recap and the scoop on Panther:
We highly recommend this movie to everyone. It was great! There was nothing in it that would be bad for the kids to see, no swearing, nothing disturbing. It was just plain fun and had everyone in a full theatre laughing!
