american gladiator is no ninja warrior
I was just sitting here with my roommate watching this utterly retarded American Gladiator and wondering how it made it to prime time. Even the original was a Saturday morning crap kids show (that I loved) not fit for normal adult TV. In the midst of a rant about how shit it is, I recalled this video from a similar (but brilliant) Japanese obstacle course show called Ninja Warrior and luckily YouTube still had it. What you are about to watch is only one of two guys to complete all the stages to become the “Ninja Warrior.” He is simply one of the most athletic people I have ever seen. The courses are well thought out and increasingly (and seemingly impossibly) difficult and thoroughly enjoyable to watch. Enjoy Ninja Warrior Makoto Nagano doing his thing.

I agree, its a great show but its on G4 all the time – like for an hour EVERY night. Why did you go to YouTube to see a clip? Because you’ve been outside the US for years now and have friggin clue what’s on TV…

No doubt Gladiators SUCKS. Its stupid that a bunch of pretentious competitors go up against steroid users in a mediocre course. People like Hulk Hogan but he’s just a veteren fake wrestler. I guess you could call wrestlers another brand of bad actors because its not real. They are not athletes btw. None of those people could get past the Ninja Warrior course.
This was proven by the American guys who couldn’t even begin to go against the Jumping Spider. Ninja Warrior is a great show and the Japs are the real deal. Even better, they take our old, great music and worship it. But, America rejects its own kind if it isn’t part of the latest fad. What a sad pathetic country we live in.
American Gladiators shit, you mean American losers! Man I been watching Ninja Warriors for a while and man I don’t think even Nitro could go half way up the warped wall because of his fat, bloated stubby ass frame of his. The Jumping Spider, forget it, thier steriod-ass legs couldn’t even spread enough to grasp the wall. Now the Japanese on other hand, I call them real athletes. No steriod use in this. I highly respect them. Those obstacles are challenging not even Olympic gold medalists could get half way through the course. That’s how awesome it is. To the comment about American guys not begin to do the Jumping Spider, I don’t even think our top athletes couldn’t even pass the second stage let alone the first one. We do live in a sorry ass place.
Levi rocks. I would like to see how Nagano could do on American Gladiators. I record that show (AG) and FF through all the BS. It is about 20 minutes that way.
