Get Out the Lycra, and Check Those Pecs

By Janice Castro

Just in case you can't get enough of those precious poseurs on American Gladiators, two new copycat challengers are headed for the airwaves. Knights and Warriors will pit villains like Princess Malice and Venom against challengers from health clubs everywhere. In Warriors on Wheels, players in souped-up vehicles will compete in events like Road Kill (shooting at passing targets) and Flights of Destruction (crashing their wheels). Slime Bomb we don't want to know about. Don't look for them on PBS.
