i first couldn't quite put my finger on what was bothering me about the show, besides hulk hogan, but then i realized it: they're trying to put storyline/a lot more theatrics into the show.
if anyone remembers the show 'battledome', the new AG is paralleling that show in some respects. battledome was basically an AG ripoff, but it was a bit more hardcore in my opinion--at least one contestant usually was injured/apparently injured per show. there was also a storyline with some of the gladiators, and the daum triplets were regulars on the show. it was basically a mix between WWF and AG, which is the way the new AG is probably going to shape up to be like.
