I remember one time some wimp couldn't break thru the paper at the end.

 

Good grief I remember having a HUGE crush on that one on the far right there, and now I can't even remember which one she was.

 

Zap. She was always one of my favorites.

 

I always liked when they did joust.

Especially when the contenders actually got a good shot on the Gladiator, the gladiator would go ape sh!t and pummel the poor person stupid.

 

I remember my sister and I role playing to that when we were growing up. Sadly our glass coffee table served as part of the final gauntlet.

 

Yeah same here



Looks like every power metal band out there

 

So they found one of the hosts for the revamped Gladiators.




Hulk F'n Hogan.


Brother.


"Professional wrestler and VH1 reality show star Hulk Hogan has signed on to host NBC’s upcoming remake of “American Gladiators,” sources say.

Hogan made the rounds at NBC’s Burbank offices last week and has accepted the job. The deal is still being finalized, but sources say both parties are committed.

NBC sees Hogan as “the perfect fit” for the “Gladiators” revival, sources say. In addition to his experience as a physical performer during his years with the World Wrestling Federation, Hogan has proved he can draw viewers with sheer force of personality in his successful VH1 reality series “Hogan Knows Best.”

The network plans to showcase “Gladiators” sometime in midseason.

Like the early-1990s original, the new “Gladiators” will have everyday weekend warriors competing against the show’s cast of athletes. The remake will add special effects, water skills and high-tech stunts.

Also, the show will chronicle the backstory of each competitor as they train for their match.

Producers are still in talks with professional and retired athletes from various disciplines, particularly ultimate fighting, to play the show's brigade of Gladiators.

The network is partnering with MGM Television and Reveille on the project, and sources say that Reveille managing director Howard Owens and his team were instrumental in landing Hogan.

NBC had no comment."

With any luck they won't end up with the roid B-squad gladiators that the show had later on that could only be linebackers in the gauntlet.

 

I remember liking that show back in the day. The last season or 2 sucked because they were focusing on things other than the actual competition. I hope this remake does not follow that same mistake.
