TV’s Most Brutal Competition Show
Рет қаралды 348,848
Күн бұрынAmerican Gladiators was a competition show from 1989 that was rebooted in 2008. So naturally, it was a part of my childhood. I wanted to see how the original and newer versions stacked up against each other. Does new = better? Let's find out!

The way the ref was cradling and comforting poor Dwayne really captured the essence of early 90’s TV. I like to think they went out for rootbeer floats afterwards, and Dwayne does the straw wrapper blow gun trick and nails the ref in the eye...And it freezes right on the ref making a goofy face, covering his eye, theme music plays and credits roll. And that’s how the first ep of “Dwayne & The Ref” ends.

It was fun to see them in action in real time & is probably the closest experience to being an actual audience member.

I'm in that 45-54 year-old demographic and I was a huge fan of this show from its inception. Heck, I even remember rooting for the smallest competitor in Season 1, Billy Wirth (yes, the kid from The Lost Boys). He talked enough trash that he apparently got under the Gladiators' skin. I still remember feeling like they conspired to let his opponent get through the obstacle course just a little easier than they did Billy. That's where he got eliminated. I'd probably need to go back and watch it again to see if it really does look that way or if I was just a little TOO into it.

Watching the 2008 one reminds me of when we would play bull rush at karate as kids. A bunch of kids vs 2 grown men who had absolutely no difficulty tackling you to the ground. If they got one hand on you then it was basically already over, they could just pick you up and put you on the ground with no resistance. The difference though is there was about 30 of us against 2 not 2 vs 2. And also they were not trying to kill us because we were like 10.
