It's Time For: Jello Wrestling!

A neglected sports needs proper recognition.

Wake up everybody! Livingston High School sent out a clear message on Friday. Jello Wrestling is a legitimate sport! It involves training, intelligence, skill, endurance—and at least 90 gallons of green jello.

The dedicated athletes proved that not anyone with a silly costume or a clever team name can hold his or her ground (or footing) in an inflatable ring filled with slime. In a night filled with bouts that pitted  "Charlie Sheen" against "The World" and "Lumberjacks" against "Trees," these teens showed why this sport needs to be recognized.

Larry Greenfield of Partybusters Entertainment took his referee duties very seriously for this Project Graduation fundraiser, while the DJs played appropriate tunes. For the "Black" vs. "Yellow" match, the soundtrack was a song called "Black and Yellow." And we have to ask, where else do you get to watch serious athletes compete while Kesha is blasting?
