As the saying goes "everything old is new again." In this case, it's the show "American Gladiators" that's been brought back for another run (and yet there's no effort to revive "Puttin On The Hits?" Go figure.)

The original "American Gladiators" debuted in 1989, and featured athletes and body builders competing in oddball events that might be considered the precursor to X-treme sports. The combatants had nicknames like Zap and Nitro, and a few have turned up in reality shows in recent years. The host of the original series was sportscaster Mike Adamle, and he was joined each season by a co-host.

Adamle's co-host for the first season in 1989 was a former NFL quarterback who started out playing college football for Notre Dame, and went on to become starting quarterback for our own Washington Redskins. He lead the Redskins to victory in Super Bowl XVII, and he was the NFL's MVP in 1983. What was his name?

Bonus Question: Speaking of those nicknames, one of the original six Gladiators on the first season back in 1989 was a former pro racquetball player named Deron McBee. As an American Gladiator, he had the tanned surfer dude persona. During the 90's he scored small parts in the Batman sequels, guest appearances on "Walker, Texas Ranger," and a visible role in the second "Mortal Combat" movie. What was Deron McBee's nickname on American Gladiators?
