Is that the show where two guys learn random martial arts and then get the crap beat out of them by 90 year-old monks?

We watched a show at Jambone the other night that was best described as the original Jackass. It was old monks doing really wierd stunts. One was perched on his stomach on top of 4 swords in his stomach and twirling. This was followed by a guy standing on light bulbs and having another guy thrust a pole with a sharp point on the end into his neck. Pretty stupid things if you ask me.

I want to say it was on a "men's network". Like spike or something like that.

That's Fight Quest, and every couple episodes of that show they'll throw in an episode where Doug and Jimmy get beat up by 23 year old women in the Israeli Special Forces just for the sake of variety. Darned if I remember what nework Fight Quest is on. Once I set up a season pass on Tivo for something, I usually end up not remembering that kind of stuff.

this show sucks.. i missed Wipeout but i recorded this and it is absolutely HORRIBLE.. did anybody catch Wipeout?

No! This was amazing.

Wipeout- can't put it into words. It's Uh-Mazing.

Yep, that's the one. Thanks.
