I forgot this was on, and missed the first 20 minutes, but apparently some chick broke her leg. I will be watching for the next hour and 40 minutes.

Hogan and Ali are terrible hosting this, but the games are great.

I like Wolf as well.... I know it's the first episode, but I'm not feeling it as much as the old days.

I really never liked it in the old days. I'd watch it every once in a while. This is just is not brutal enough for me. If this were more UFC style, with people being knocked out, bleeding, etc.

I guess I'm just a sick man! :cry:

This second group of girls is REALLY good. Much better than the guys. They are killing these girl gladiators!

it is kind of dumb, but I can't stop watching...probably because of how cool I thought it was when I was a kid

I can't stop watching either. TBGBG keeps calling me during commercials. It's sad really.

It looks like there may be some explosions tomorrow. I might have to tune in. (only if the OSU vs. LSU game is a blowout)

I wanted the white guy to win. The Asian was just too little to win a show with the word "Gladiators" in it.

wow...this is how much that game means to me...I completely forgot that was tomorrow....I guess a game decided by computers doesn't do it for me....

As dumb as this show was, it was entertaining

I may not be home tomorrow night, but me and TBGBG decided that I'm DVRing it and we're gonna watch it before the Kentucky Christian game so that we'll be pumped for Kentucky Christian. I think that's the only way to get excited for Kentucky Christian.

I thought the blonde girl cracking her noggin underwater was the only really entertaining portion of the show and they didn't play it up enough.

The Van Earl Wright voiceovers are mega-lame. I actually didn't mind Hogan but Laila needs some serious work on her interview skills. Ugh.

Hogan has been doing mic work for years so it just kind of came natural to him i think...but Laila Ali just didn't seem like she wanted to be there at all

No one watches for the announcing. We watch just hoping someone gets knocked the crap out.

It was okay but not nearly as cool as I remember it being back in the day. I'd be surprised if it makes it past the first season.

You guys gotta be kidding me... That whole show was AMAZING... Then again all i do is watch it on ESPN classic from way back in the day... Back when Scar was dunking on ETSU :wink:

I thought the whole thing was amazing, I hate the the asian kid won... yes the white guy talked a lot of trash but it made it incredible


This made my night, and I know that im officially and old man because i was watching NBC at 9:00 but I just enjoyed the whole thing... However I think Ms. Ali could take all of the men Gladiators...


One last thing one of the contestants said that the Gladiators could play for the Raiders, and they could, but without the HGH they would be smaller than me

Hellga is my favorite by far. However, she was awful in the gauntlet. She couldn't move.

She is just too slow IMO. I thought the second group of girls showed how weak the girl gladiators are.

it looks like smaller contenders have a better shot in my opinion...
