lol yeah same. I remember wed just have someone with a tennis racket hitting tennis balls while you tried to get through the backyard... Wish they would do a remake of this show that would actually do it justice.
This show was SO awesome back in the day. They really should re-do this show, with modern safety protocols, and improved games, it could be great. And there should be a 'hall of Gladiators' locker room/set where all the former Gladiators are, giving pointers and training the new Gladiators, with 'behind the scenes' segments. It could be really great, if done right.
@@rodneyhorsley8601 Titan games was pretty bad ass, such contraptions to directly test one contenders strength against another's. But it wasn't as fun as Gladiators.
This was our slice of the USA beamed into the UK back in the early 90s . It accompanied late night snacking and beer . Miss those days . My friends brother was Hunter in the UK show
Man i so really miss this show , i used to be soo addicted to watching it i would wait for it to come on for like two hours when it was on TV , doing this stuff would be so fun although it probably hurt if you were hit by those balls.
classic show, 22 minutes of heaven each week.. i wonder what ever became of all the hosts, the bodybuilder staff doing the shooting? aka not the contestants
They had tryouts at school for the show. They want fast in shape but not too big of a guy as contestants. You had to be able to do a certain number of pull-ups which eliminated the body builder types.
Yeah, you’re right I remember someone saying something along those lines that they don’t want bodybuilder type contestants out of fear that if they beat the American gladiators, it just makes them look bad.
@@DanNitroClark1 you think I could get an autographed 8x10 to put up in the barbershop? We put old episodes on a few times a week and everyone knows my love for NITRO.
Player safety maybe. Since they're moving and shooting under pressure the producers & lawyers don't want to get sued if a player shoots themselves in the face with a high-velocity round.
This show was so awesome as a kid
Was going to comment that but you covered it 😂
What happened to us

I got tickets to one of their road shows for my birthday. It was one of the coolest presents I ever got.
Damn straight
Loved this show as a kid! We used to reenact a lot of those games! So much fun!

I miss this show. I used to watch it on Saturday mornings. It was always the last thing they showed after all the morning cartoons.
That's when I watched it too! Lol

They tried it in like 2008 with Hulk Hogan and was terrible. Then The Rock did Titan Games and was a flop. It's best to leave it alone.

It was a different country back then.
Most people these days are slobs and they hate seeing that people like this actually exist.
It shames them.
I would contribute to funding this
We already have American Ninja Warriors now

Nitro a beast this season. Fastest assault kill and also impressive conquer record with only one loss.
The good dayz!
Nitro was without a doubt the toughest OG gladiator on the men's side. As for the women, hard to say
@@DanNitroClark1this game was called danger zone on the UK version.
Yeps. I was England too!
Loved this show, this is an achievement of entertainment history.
This was always my favorite event of the show.
One of the best shows of all time.

American Gladiators was a good show. It was always entertaining without being over the top like some of the clones were.
Ice picked off a contender in one shot in a later season. She declared herself "the greatest Assault player of all time."
Yes this is why he is called Nitro!!
I love this! Even as kid at this time though this show looked out dated. The gladiators always had such an advantage.
That’s the point though.
This was my favorite part of the show. And Nitro was also my favorite. Oh, happy day!!!
Weapons, fire und kill! A true american show, i like it!
This was always my favorite event. But the compressors were not reliable for a lot of the weapons for the contestants.
This was my favorite event, too.
0:20 change that graphic if I were you
LOL

We need to recreate this playground. Looks fun for both kids and adults.
I still remember one of the best competitors was a guy that went by the nickname of "Two scoops". I wonder if there is videos of him on UA-cam.
Loved this show. Just finished the Muscles and Mayhem Doc. Nitro,Blaze,Zap,Gemini,Ice all better be getting proceeds from this UA-cam channel
Loved watching this show as a kid
Here after watching the Netflix doc!
This show is tremendous! My kids and I would love to see an American (or Global) Gladiators for the 21st century.
I guess Randy was the first person to get zero points in Assault after they changed the scoring to one point per weapon fired.
Such a great show
Nitro 360 no scoped him
Miss shows like this
the netflix series on this show is incredible
I remember seeing this episode.
This show was so awesome
0:53 that's a new worlds record

I think they also want to protect the gladiator from getting beat up. They have to come back and do this every week.
@@teacherdoug1797 fair
This shows up in my feed after i started watching the netflix doc. Suspicious.
I wish NITRO was my dad.
Haa! Cheers Kevin. I do have a brother named kevin!
@@DanNitroClark1 you think I could get an autographed 8x10 to put up in the barbershop?

@@DanNitroClark1 Nitro gave head
Statistically speaking, Nitro probably is our dad.
I loved this show. Is this a test to see how many people sub to bring back the show? I hope so. Just treat the Gladiators better this time around? :)
Im pretty sure I remember watching the reboot of this when i was a kid
I miss the 90s.
Funny. Sabre did the same thing later on. With one shot, even.
That's my favorite event
The last weapon of the contender is funny 😆
Good old times. You cant pass this shows on tv anymore.

I always thought it sucked that the gladiator gets a high powered tennis ball cannon, and the players get the worst weapons weaker than nerf guns.
This was a cool show. Just a shame the gladiators put their bodies on the line and werent paid well
and here I am watching some gameshow, i never heard of because i wondered why Sam Winchester is wearing spandex
Ice's cannon was jammed.
Lol @ all of a sudden it works again!
Lace was so hot
I miss women from that time. They look amazing
I wonder if any of these people are still alive,
I have a mechanical air compressed ball launcher, you have a nerf gun. My muscles make me so much better in this. Yah yah. Look at my hair.
That gun needed fixed 😂
Looks familiar 🤔
They must have learned shooting from storm troopers.
Nitro wasn't the biggest, but he was the baddest.
Heath bar cookies are good tho.
such a good show.
Holy cow
Ice is hot
Why can't this be a theme park
Nitro don't play that!
It's sad how rigged against the competitor this was. The farther you got the worse the weapons were. Some couldn't even make it to the gun.
I’d give anything for one of those guns in my backyard.
Anyone else here because of the Netflix documentary?
army guy that don't know how to fire a gun lol
Cause it malfunctioned
so they give the gladiator a good weapon....but the contestants get these crappy, low velocity weapons.
Player safety maybe. Since they're moving and shooting under pressure the producers & lawyers don't want to get sued if a player shoots themselves in the face with a high-velocity round.
Three musketeers is the worse shit ever.
These are athletes. No big stomachs. No men in womens sports. How it should be
Don't get me wrong, that girl ice looks like she's on roids good grief. But thats no man
I wonder what all the gladiators are doing now?
5 of them are dead , Cheryl Wilson one of which was brutally murdered by her husband.
And the gladiators who have passed away are dead for a variety of reasons @josephbennett3482
