Awooooogaaa...

American Gladiators made a comeback on our tv screens this week in NZ and what a welcome return it is. The games haven't lost any of their charm and a hilarious eliminator at the end with 2 female contenders looking like a couple of punch drunk boxers staggering around trying to finish.

It prompted some reminiscing from Rob and I about the classic contests of the mid 90s. I bizarrely managed to remember Eunice Huthart and Wesley '2 scoops' Berry as being the most famous contenders.

So we decided to do a bit of a where are they now internet search and uncovered an astounding piece of information..... Wolf now runs a children's playground centre in Auckland...New Zealand!

Crazy plans were being hatched of getting him to present end of season awards for the Stallions, but after further investigation it appears this information was slightly out of date and Wolf now lives in Queenstown, on the South Island.

For Gladiator fans here is a video of the greatest eliminator ever between 2 scoops and Phil Norman, who probably starts crying every time he goes up the stairs at home as it triggers memories of that travelator...
