Gladiator Names

My friend Tony is a good guy. I was unable to watch American Gladiators on Monday, January 14 due to an Administrative Council meeting. He recorded it for me and I got to watch it last night. Thanks Tony.

The victor was a Presbyterian youth minister from California named Andy. He said his friends called him the "Reverend of Rip."

• Sinister Minister
• The Beast Priest
• Preacher of Pain
• The Exorcist
• Deacon of Doom
