Hulk is back at 8/7c tonight!

Some new gladiators:

Phoenix: http://www.nbc.com/American_Gladiato.../phoenix.shtml

Rocket: (last year winner) http://www.nbc.com/American_Gladiato.../phoenix.shtml

Jet: (last year winner) http://www.nbc.com/American_Gladiators/bios/jet.shtml

And don't worry, Crush is still there! Looks like Stealth is gone from the women.

Looks like they will have some new events also:

VERTIGO
Vertigo takes a good old-fashioned foot race and puts it 30 feet in the air on top of rail thin poles that sway violently back and forth. One contender and one gladiator begin their race on the ground and, on the ref's whistle, attempt to scale the first of 8 sway poles as fast as they can. When they finally do reach the top, they must use their body weight and momentum to propel themselves towards the next pole. The race continues until the first person reaches the final pole and grabs the trapeze at the end. If that person is the contender, they earn 10 points. If it is the Gladiator, the contender gets either 5 points - if they've made it past the fifth pole scoring zone by then - or 0 points.

ROCKETBALL
Contenders have one minute to hit their personal launch buttons and fire themselves as many times as they can into the air high above Gladiator Arena, where they'll try to sink baskets against two Gladiators with launch buttons of their own and one important goal - play some seriously aggressive defense. Balls in the lower basket are worth one point, balls in the upper basket are worth two.
