American Gladiators

Who watched? I was entertained, although less cheesy interviews and more competition would be nice.

It was nice to see they kept the old challenges relatively the same and not "Hollywooded up". Liked some of the new challenges thrown in there as well. I can't think it will be too long until someone is seriously injured on the Pyramid. Sure they have a neck brace, but tumbling 20-30 feet down the foam steps with a 230 pound gladiator wrapped around your torso doesn't leave much room for error.

Perhaps my favorite Gladiator by far is Wolf, this guy just breathes crazy:


And I have a crush on...Crush:

i thought it was good.. i was always a fan of the old series. only thing i found bad was the cheesy interviews in between each segment. and hulk hogan is far far to scripted imo.

but looks good and i was entertained - the eliminator was far harder then it was in the past.. people barley have energy to push over the foam blocks

worse game ever is the new hit and run... far to easy, they need to either raise the bridge or lower the *****, because everyone was just ducking them

CRUSH IS SEXY FTW

cmon... who wouldn't want to be thrown by this:

What do you expect? Hulk Hogan ad libbing and interviewing a female contestant:
"Brother, that was a great effort brother!"

Ironically, you never can get enough of the Hulkster...brother!

too much talking... each show is 1 hour.. yet every event is only 1minute long WTF... so how can 1 hour be filled.. oh yes with idiotic talk, useless interviews, and background info on people we don't give 2 ****s about

It looks that the 'Rings' competition has shortened up a whole lot. I remember when they use to swing on those for what seemed to be for miles. BTW, i'm a fan of Crush as well!

SEVERELY disappointed.....

The action is too quick and sparce...I had no clue who was scoring or stopping who in the powerball comp. The rings...WTF 2 swings and you're across?? Assault, ummm no...

I give this show 2 more episodes...if they dont change it up, it'll get cancelled..

agreed the entire stadium you can tell is smaller as they combine the pyramid witht the eliminator etc... assult is much smaller, rings, everything... that i agree i am disappointed in but doubt it will be canceled just yet.
