Fantasy American Gladiators League.
As I'm sure you have all seen and geared up for, NBC is bringing back American Gladiators. I have been thinking about making up a fantasy league similar to those available for Project Runway, Survivor, Idol, etc....
Unfortunately, the only information on line is that the hosts are Hulk Hogan and Laila Ali and that if you go to a live taping, be prepared to be bored and not be able to see anything. So, I haven't exactly formulated the league rules.
I was thinking that if you could get a list of the gladiators, you could choose gladiators prior to the show and get points based on events participated in, W's and L's, margin of victory depending on event or others. Also, according to the lame ass website there will be a stronger focus on the stories behind the contestants, and they get to train for the event. You could also put the same metrics in for the contestants.
My question to the blogosphere - who's coming with me? Anyone interested in this sweet new fantasy adventure? If so, help me identify scoring options.
I also think we should start a grassroots campaign to see if we can get one of the gladiators to be named "the shocker" and he can run around throwing the shocker sign up and see how long before NBC execs figure it out.
