MUSCLE YOUR WAY IN On a snowy Monday night at the Globe Pub, Hulk Hogan is the guest of honor via satellite. With tanned, glistening pecs and his iconic bandana, Hogan looks on intently as grown men and women in red and blue spandex pummel each other with oversized Q-tips, referring to everyone—even the ladies—as “Brother.” It was none other than the American Gladiators viewing party, and the dozen people who trudged through the muck to watch the action couldn’t have been more excited that NBC resurrected the show. So excited, in fact, that some engaged their drinking buddies in a variety of “deathlocks” and intense “intimidation face” stare-down contests. We can’t help but think Hogan would fervently approve, Brother. Mon 7–8pm. 1934 W Irving Park Rd between Wolcott and Damen Aves (773-871-3757).
