I miss the American Gladiators
 

but I can't stop watching it on ESPN Classic. Back before all these roid heads, there were gladiators. Some of them girls were hot - especially the deaf one.

Re: I miss the American Gladiators
 

Laser was the man.

LOL I loved American Gladiators as a kid. Which chick was deaf?

Siren. She was one of the Gladiators that came later.

BTW, Assault FTW.

Re: I miss the American Gladiators
 

Gemini was like a spider monkey on the rings

Re: I miss the American Gladiators
 

I just looked up Siren from AG and you guys had it hard.

UKG had Jet.

skip first 50 secs

i love her

i wish she's wrap her legs around me all night long

Re: I miss the American Gladiators
 

they should really bring this show back it kicked some serious ass

Re: I miss the American Gladiators
 

lol... gotta love how they named the deaf one Siren...

Re: I miss the American Gladiators
 

My friend and I were talking about this show the other night. We are both convinced we would kick the other person's ass...especially in the eliminator. How has nobody built a stadium that 2 people can pay a fee and live out this dream. If I ever become a baller I plan on doing this.

Re: I miss the American Gladiators
 

NITRO!

Re: I miss the American Gladiators
 

That one event where the gladiators would shoot like nerf guns and [censored] at the contestant was amazing. Unless I'm imagining that being on the show.

Re: I miss the American Gladiators
 

its lace and its not even close.

i too have gotten back into gladiators i read somewhere that that much of the orginal set is still around at universal studios and you can tour it.

Re: I miss the American Gladiators
 

If i recall correctly, Zap did some soft core porn.

fking hot.

Re: I miss the American Gladiators
 

you can't compare the USA Gladiators w/ the UK Gladiators

Re: I miss the American Gladiators
 

Assault was so god damned sweet. <3

Re: I miss the American Gladiators
 

The thing about AG was that the first season rocked, then they added a new "improved" event for each subsequent season, and the added event always sucked. For instance the one where you roll in a sphere and try to cover some smoke exhaust vents on the ground. WTF?

The show like, regressed, yo. I still watch it occassionally on ESPN Classic at midnight CST.

This event doesn't make for good TV, but would fun as hell to play. Think bumper cars, but for men.

Re: I miss the American Gladiators
 

A short little black dude named 'Two Scoops' showed up on the show once and simply DOMINATED the living crap out of all the gladiators in every single event. Pretty much ruined the show for me, he made these guys look like Grade A chumps.

The chicks were still hot though.

Re: I miss the American Gladiators
 

Season 1 had a guy who was a former collegiate football Fullback (Craig Williams?), who pretty much dominated every gladiator.

They had that football event where you try to run by the linebacker (gladiator), like a running back, and Craig just ran through Gemini. Gemini was laying down for a bit, and I'm pretty sure he hurt his shoulder.

Re: I miss the American Gladiators
 

I do like that the UK version gives the female gladiators measurements. Classy.

Re: I miss the American Gladiators
 

Also, I'd put the AG theme music in my All-Time TV Theme Music Top 10.

Re: I miss the American Gladiators
 

I always liked The Wall, especially when the contestants had no clue how to climb and were given a head start that made no difference as the gladiator just ran up to the wall and grabbed their leg to pull them down, given that they had only made it about 3 feet so far.

Re: I miss the American Gladiators
 

Ya, or that event with the rings they would have to swing across from one panel to the other without the gladiator starting from the other side pulling them off.

I'd say less than 5% of people made it across, the event was pointless. People would swing out like 2 feet then totally stop and let the gladiator close in and then decide they needed to move.

I went to hockey camp when i was about 10/11 and there were these empty rinks where the instructors set up scaffolding on one end with tennis ball shooters at the top. We dressed in full hockey gear and had to run through these rinks hiding behind tyres and boxes. It was so bad ass

The ring event was amazing especially because people would get absolutely WRECKED when the gladiators would knock them off.
