American Gladiators

Hey Scott,

At this point we’ve seen the entire conception and downfall of WBF in the Observer Flashbacks. What I don’t understand, is why Vince ever wanted to go into bodybuilding considering how boring it is on its face. At that point in time in the early 90’s WWF Superstars was followed by American Gladiators. Logically speaking, isn’t it strange that Vince didn’t (and actually still hasn’t) created his own version of that show? I mean everything about seems right up McMahon’s alley; it’s got muscle freaks, the idea of "sport" being used for entertainment, and heavy production value. Has a a Gladiators type show ever been discussed or toyed with at WWF/E?

I don’t​ think so, but I LOVED American Gladiators​ back in the day. I know they’ve done ripoffs and reboots since then, but it’s never been the same.
