Genius Idea #36 - Celebrity American Gladiators

I admit I am moderately addicted to the new version of American Gladiators. It's cheesy, it's larger than life and it is awesome. For the record, I always root for the Gladiators. It's like rooting for the home team in baseball - you just have to do it. So while laying in bed last night, I was suddenly struck with Genius Idea #36 - Celebrity American Gladiators. Better than that, I think they should bring in some rivalries (real or fictional) to be settled in Gladiator Arena.

My dream match-up would be Ralph Macchio vs. Billy Zabka, a real life rematch of the fictional Daniel LaRusso vs. Johnny Lawrence feud from The Karate Kid. Granted, in American Gladiators, the contenders don't actually fight or wrestle each other, but it would give Billy a chance to prove superiority. "There is no mercy in Gladiator Arena, is there?" "No, sensei!" Hands down, Lawrence would win this one.

Other potential match-ups: Tiffany vs. Debbie Gibson and a Saved by the Bell Smackdown: Zack vs. Slater. Surely, this would save their sagging ratings. Who's got a contact number for NBC Universal?

You don't even give Screech the chance to contend?

No way! Screech would be eaten alive by the female Gladiators.
