WMAC Masters

Perhaps you are not like me and don't enjoy good, old-fashioned, crappy martial arts action. This show is auspiciously a kids show that is based around some type of Street Fighter/Pro Wrestling type of competition.

That's all well and good, but when wrestling works the best, even with kids, is when the wrestlers have reasonably believable characters. Is Ying-Yang man a believable character, or a guy called the Robot?

There was a show a while back that tried a brief crossover with WCW wrestling. I dont' remember the name, but it was attempting to be a pro-wrestling/American Gladiators hybrid and it didn't work, because it's characters were like early 90s WWF creations. A construction worker, a generic black gang member, etc. You can't build a show on this.

Oh crap, and this show is trying to be educational. It's teaching me about anagrams. Hey kick-ass martial artists teach you things, like an anagram for Tsunami is I am Nuts

And it has power bars like a video game, and hazard ninjas in suits with glow in the dark tape on them and some type of gas mask. This is some quality stuff here. To think, until they switched the time-slot I was watching USA Championship Wrestling right now most weeks.
