Seeing advertisements for this show got me to thinking how sad it is that Hulk Hogan is pretty much an American cultural icon. I mean seriously, Hulk Hogan, a phony wrestler. 
I wish to wash my Irish wristwatch......

Well look at America in general.....I saddens me to look at what we as a country view as entertainment, and who we choose to raise up on a pedestal and such.
I just wish the Reality TV and game show mania phase would pass already, I'm tired of Survivor, Big Brother, Amazing Race, Millionaire, Smarter than a 5th Grader, Deal or No Deal, etc.
We don't have to agree with each other, to respect each others opinion.

Ninja Warrior is AWESOME! It gets old after awhile, but I still turn it on every now and then.

While I wouldn't make it past anything on the 3rd stage....I think I could get there. Maybe I'm overestimating my talents but most of the first two stages are balance, speed and climbing. The 3rd stage is ALL upper body strength.
If you watch my video......around 4:00 to 7:40 is amazing! His arms aren't straight! They're bent 90 degrees for a lot of it. That's strength!

About 5 years ago I'd say I could have done OK at it and made it there on a good day. Of course, not getting to actually practice the course before doing it I'm not so sure...

All I can say is... Helga is a WHOLE lot of woman.
I want the Cleveland Browns to be my pallbearers so they can let me down for the last time.
