Hall of Game Episode 7: American Gladiators (SNES)
American Gladiators is one of the most nostalgic television shows for me. I grew up as an athlete, and sports were much different back then than they are now. American Gladiators was the perfect combination of late 80s/early 90s cheese and in-your-face competitive action.
This video features: my beard, editing that doesn't totally suck, and since you're on Destructoid, I know you'll like the testicle references.
But I don't want to spoil the whole video for you, so go ahead and give it a gander:
If you liked the video (and you happen to be watching it on something that doesn't show YouTube links), you can subscribe our channel here.
And don't forget that you can also subscribe to our podcast on either iTunes and/or Stitcher Radio.
Thanks for watching.

Greetings and salutations.
TheDustinThomas here, you probably don't know me, but I write things here on Destructoid from time to time. Occasionally I get on the front page:
The Most Inexplicably-Often Rented Games At Blockbuster
The Top 10 Videogame Pro Wrestlers
A Retrospective of Pro Wrestling Videogames from the Perspective of a Pro Wrestler
I'm also the host of a pretty sexy gaming podcast that I do with a couple buddies of mine. You can download and subscribe to it here. You should totally do that.
All of my games writing you can find on DToid, but I also write about other things on my personal blog. Here's my top 5 most read blogs:
Let Me Tell You About My $250 T-Shirts
Tempting of the Doon
5 Ways Getting in Shape Has Messed with my Head
Tim Lambesis: A Fan's Struggle to Understand
Why I Already Dislike Planet Fitness
You may notice that most of those blogs are somehow related to pro wrestling. Why? Because I spent 10 years as a professional wrestler before retiring in October 2013 due to back injuries. I actually wasn't too bad.
A bit about me? Well, obviously I love to write. It's not a paying gig yet, but I'm certainly trying to make that happen.
I'm a happily married man, and my wife is smokin' hot.
I have a huge, manly beard.
God comes first in my life above all else. I'm a leader at my church, as well as the head of our media department.
I've been a metalhead pretty much my entire life.
I'm also a die hard fan of The Simpsons.
Other miscellaneous fact.
