2 жыл бұрын

The arena is ready, the contestants have done all the preparation they can, and the American Gladiators are primed to defend with all their might. It's an all-out battle to see which contestants move closer to the title of American Gladiators champion!
In the women's preliminary it's Sheila Mercer, a firefighter from Phoenix, Arizona, against Trish Tillotson, a teacher from Wichita, Kansas. In the men's preliminary, Rico Costantino, a bodyguard from Santa Ana, California, and John Adams, an account representative from Oakland, California face off.
Powerball: Contenders try to score points by depositing balls into baskets and avoid being tackled by three Gladiators.
Joust: The Gladiator and contender face off for 30 seconds on elevated platforms. They must knock each other off with pugil sticks.
Assault: The contender must attempt to hit a target while a Gladiator shoots at them using a tennis ball cannon.
The Wall: The contenders attempt to scale a rock climbing wall, being chased by Gladiators.
Human Cannonball: Two Gladiators stand on pedestals, and the contenders attempt to swing towards them and knock them off.
Atlasphere: The contenders and Gladiators battle in spherical metal cages. The contenders must stand on scoring pods while the Gladiators try to stop them.
The Eliminator: The Eliminator is an obstacle course spanning the arena, the winner of which advances to the next round of the competition.

ABOUT AMERICAN GLADIATORS:
Welcome to the official channel of American Gladiators, home of patriotic spandex and giant cotton swabs.
Beginning in 1989 for 8 seasons, this competition swept America. Two men and two women compete against each other and a roster of "American Gladiators". Events included, The Assault, Joust, The Wall, Breakthrough and Conquer, Hang Tough, Powerball, and many others, all culminating in the final event, "The Eliminator", a difficult obstacle course race. Every season there is a tournament to determine its "Grand Champion". For two seasons, there was an "International" competition taped in England where the champions from 4-6 countries competed similarly.

I love how this show kept the focus on the competition happening here and now. The interviews are just short bits about trying hard and persevering. We don't have to sit through 10 minutes of pre-recorded backstory about how each contestant is overcoming a disability of some kind, fighting for their family with medical problems, or what they're doing to inspire their community. I tried out for the 2006 version of American Gladiators and did well enough in the physical tests, but maybe my backstory at the time wasn't tragic enough to get picked for the show. 😅

What i found most fascinating about this show is that they would find competitors, who themselves were often accomplished athletes, to go up against the american gladiators who would dwarf them. I once had a co-worker who appeared on this show back in its heyday. And even though he was older than me, he was still jacked and one of the most physically fit people i ever knew. He talked about how impressive the gladiators were.

Born and raised in the UK so I’m far more familiar with our version of Gladiators. It’s fascinating to see the US version especially the early ones as you can see how we got a fairly optimised version in the end. Great to see older shoes preserved and that the master tape is in great shape as older shows always look rough as the tapes are dupes or worn out, American shows suffer more I’ve noticed which I’m guessing it’s to do with NTSC resolution. It would be amazing to see the rest of Season 1 and the pilot if the tape still exists in full.

Here are my notes. Keep in mind that I have Season 1B of American Gladiators on DVD and experienced it that way. That's where the comparisons are coming from. 1. Considering all the Larry Csonka comparisons Todd Christiansen made, this is appropriate casting. 2. Of the two new events, we won't see one of them until episode 13 of this season. 3. Rico Constantino sounds familiar. Did he slip away from Nitro on Hang Tough by using body oil? 4. I'm glad the warm-up jackets of the contenders match their uniform colors this season. 5. After all the scoring cylinders that got knocked down in the season one version of Powerball, they finally thought to switch from flat-bottomed cylinders to round-bottomed cylinders. 6. What a coincidence that Nintendo is sponsoring this show! There are American Gladiator video games on both the NES and SNES! 7. Also, the 2008 revival of American Gladiators coincided with the Nintendo Wii's dominance. Why did it never get a motion-controlled American Gladiators game? 8. I see that the gladiators are allowed to tackle and hold again in Powerball. Banning that from the quarterfinals on in season 1B was so stupid. 9. Rest in Peace to Thunder (AKA Billy Smith). Was he picked out because he looked like Malibu but was also competent at his job? 10. Lace lost her skirt but Gold didn't. Also, I can't confirm this yet, but I think Ice is the only gladiator on this show to wear a bikini in every season she was in even through multiple costume changes. 11. In season 1B, Bob McElwee wore a sport coat as a referee. Larry Thompson takes over as the ref in a more traditional ref outfit and will stay on until the show ends. He'll also likely have that sense of fashion until the show ends. 12. After not competiting in Joust a single time in season 1B, Laser is the first to compete in Joust in season 2. 13. It's not much of an upset if the women beat the gladiators since Zap was the only female gladiator in season 1 with a winning record in Joust. 14. It was Richard Seymour that pioneered the Roll-a-Dope. Also, the pistol has a bit better ammunition this season. 15. My god! Both of the male contenders scaled the wall in 34 seconds at most! 16. Why do the women have a less difficult wall than the men this season? 17. I see that there are only two swings be contender in Human Cannonball rather than three. 18. Now we get Atlasphere's debut and this event doesn't have those downward ramps that gives contenders a rolling start yet. Also, the sphere needs to stay in a scoring pod instead of simply rolling over it as it will later. 19. If you think Gemini gets angry, you should've seen Titan in season 1B. After Elden Kidd committed a foul in the Semifinal of Human Cannonball, Titan got so angry, he chased Bob McElwee through the stands (it was edited out of the official broadcast, Dan "Nitro" Clark told us these events). That's why he got fired from the show. 20. The Eliminator in season two introduced four iconic elements to this show. The travellator (AKA reverse treadmill), handbike, cargo net, and zipline. Granted, the travellator is at the beginning of the course rather than the end but it's still here regardless. I had a lot of notes that time. Hopefully, as the newness wears off, I won't have as much to say.

Later on "Human Cannonball" was phased out especially in season 4 when a contestant lead with her head (spearing).

This show is lame, fake, and staged just like professional wrestling. All the outcomes are known before the show starts. Honestly not sure why anyone would want to watch this.

Sad to see Mike Adamle here, knowing what we now know about him. A few years ago, he was forced to retire from public life due to the worsening effects of dementia brought on by concussions during his playing career in the NFL, as well as epileptic seizures after his football career ended, again, stemming from the hits he absorbed. He can no longer work or drive and must keep a fanny pack with his identification, keys, and cellphone on his person at all times in case he gets lost.
