From American Gladiators to the WWE!

Wrestlezone.com is reporting that former host and commentator of both American Gladiators and International Gladiators Mike Adamle is to debut at the Royal Rumble this Sunday.

I'm not sure if he is being groomed as an eventual replacement for good ol' JR, Jim Ross, or whether he will join Michael Cole eventually on SmackDown, but at the moment he will be joining the RAW team, alongside Jim Ross, Jerry Lawler and Todd Grisham.

I think this is a good move for WWE, as because of his background with American Gladiators, he is probably more qualified than some others that WWE have taken on before. He was also an NFL star back in the 1970s, so he is quite used to the rough and tumble of sports. I look forward to seeing Mike Adamle in action on WWE programming.
