While host Shane Adams doesn't have the adorable dimples of Top Shot's Colby Donaldson, he has an unbridled (pun intended) enthusiasm for reviving this sporting pastime that is remarkably infectious. While a few of the jousters have experience with theatrical jousting (a.k.a. working at your local renaissance faire or Medieval Times), that's not nearly the same thing. Most are military guys (like on Top Shot) or bull riders or the like. But even the guys with jousting experience aren't prepared for the high degree of difficulty, as the first episode shows them getting hit by baseball bats (while wearing armor) and battering rams.

Those slow-mo shots I like, plus pretty horses and guys hitting each other with sharp sticks? Yeah, this show is definitely worth watching.
