Sweet!

Variety reports that NBC has decided to resurrect American Gladiators! The new version will focus on the reality aspect of the show, such as the back stories of contestants as well as following their training, etc. The show will feature eight gladiators (four men and four women) though there's no word if any of the originals like Nitro or Turbo will return. Although I'm kinda' hoping they just bring in wild gorillas, dress them up in spandex, and let them beat the contestants to death with mallets fashioned from Rice Krispie treats.
