One minute the guys are wrestling around in Joe's room, the next minute The Book has transported them back to ancient Rome - and face to face with one big old gladiator. Luckily Joe, Sam and Fred, the Time Warp Trio, have seen enough professional wrestling to make it through gladiator school - but not even a bodyslam can help them at the Colosseum. Will our trusty heroes be able to find The Book and hightail it out of there - or will the Romans turn them into mincemeat first?
