what happened to him was very sad. he herniated his disc in one of the games and physically never recovered. he was in a walker at the time of his passing
Episodes like this in the Eliminator show why they changed the rules the following year to giving the leader a head start of a few seconds depending on their lead.
I'm glad they changed the way they score in Atlasphere for season 3. As long as you roll over the pod it should count as a point unlike seasons 1 and 2
i'm actually watching the documentary on Netflix right now and it's crazy the amount of injuries that were on this show. Human Cannonball is just an insane thing to watch nowadays lol the hit on Malibu from season 1 is still really hard to see. dude got his head busted open
ICE is the main reason why she is one of three female American gladiators that scares the holy hell out of me! Whenever her mouth opens and her voice comes out, I always have the immense urge to just turn and run like hell!
The Performance of Blaze in Powerball was amazing the Contestants made no points against her. I only didn't understand why Gold celebrated soooo much she made the mistake at 8:22 so Margaret could score 2 points....
These first two episodes in the new season show how much of a work in progress Atlasphere was at the start. Incline of the pods was too steep, area to settle in them too small. And what was up with that random hill in the middle that didn't do anything? Nope, nope, and nope. Next taping would fix all that. But still a measly 1 point a goal in the prelims. Ah well.
Another thing that only lasted for this particular taping was in the Joust, the blue contender stood on the blue platform against the Gladiator, while the red contender stood on the red platform. Afterwards, the standard contender on blue, Gladiator on red would be seen.
Those gladiator names... like 90's beat-em-up enemies. This is actually pretty good fun. Didn't pay attention to it back then, too young to care. They couldn't do it today, they'd ruin it in some way.
Warning- The gladiators and contestants are highly trained athletes and have a lifetime of experience, but they are not invincible. Bodies have been broken, necks broken, concussions inflicted, lives shattered, and careers ended in an instant. Although it is entertainment, the hazards are real, and the contestants and gladiators take real risks, endure unimaginable pain, and put their bodies, their careers, and their lives on the line. Don't risk yours! Be Smart! Be Safe! PLEASE DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME, SCHOOL OR ANYWHERE ELSE!!!
i guess ill be that guy, but supermaning over the gladiators in the end shouldnt have been allowed. they arent allowed to move to the side on the rope swing, its not fair to the idea of competition to jump over them, the whole reason theyre there is to be an obstacle.
Thank you for the full episodes! Please keep uploading ❤️
we need all episodes. Can you buy this on dvd?
Purple Roundy is a legend!!! Best show in history, Please revive but has to look exactly like this!
These straight up bring back my childhood. I used to stay up till 1am on Saturday night to watch these.
Turbo: "It was a butt save. I need to post a keep out sign up. Ain't nobody gettin' in my area".... lol
He was very straight lol
Just watching these shows brings back great memories
So so true!
If there's one thing you got to know about American Gladiators, it's two words:
PURPLE ROUNDY!!
Purple Roundy looks like Todd Christensen from American gladiators
He should've wore his suit and tie with the American gladiators logo on the left
Lol
Purple is a legend!!!
Larry Thompson has to be the best referee I like how he explains the rules of the power ball.
Not sure why uploads started on this channel recently, but I'm loving it!
Same here!!!! My guess is that they want to get everyone ready for the ESPN 30 for 30 Documentary they’re doing on the show.
@@briancarter3551 I hope the 30 for 30 gets uploaded here
They're trying to compete with Eric Bugenhagen for most savage testosterone-laden channel on the internet
Yes! Keep it up! I want full episodes of seasons 3 through 7!
Thanks for posting full episodes.
Ice, gold and diamond are my favorite blonde haired American gladiators.
Don't forget Zap, Lace, Siren, and Elektra. Diamond is my all-time favorite. 😍
Mike can't stop touching purple lol... love the nostalgia watching these again
Who can blame him
He was afraid of falling off the wall, he was holding on, vertigo
Diamond got a dreamy voice 💎
then you never heard the Voice of Blaze, Paisley or Christina Aguilera.
I looked her up, her name is Erica Andersch and she was from East Germany.
RIP Thunder...
Thunder was my favorite😢
He was a monstrous sized man. Just enormous.
R.I.P. to THUNDER and GOLD
what happened to him was very sad. he herniated his disc in one of the games and physically never recovered. he was in a walker at the time of his passing
Turbo and Nitro ought to be twins because they have the same longish hair.
Awesome work uploading these classics sport competitions like American Gladiators!
Damn the Beauty of Blaze is sooo overwhelming.
That men's powerball round should be renamed Gladiator's Vendetta.
10:07 Unusual for this camera angle. Usually, the contender is Stage Right and the Gladiator is on Stage Left, but in this position, it's vice versa.

You're correct about the rule, but Atlasphere wasn't introduced until season two.
@@andysee6996 yes yes season 2 not season 1
@@ENTERTAINMENT35on the UK atlaspheres its 3 points per pod
Turbo rocks 😊
From Universal Studios Hollywood this is American Gladiators
Man, one measly point for all that effort in Atlasphere. Looks pretty rough in the earlier stages. Glad they fixed that in the later seasons.
12:46 13:40 Ice had too much power and made short work of the contenders
30:01 love the huge dent in the atlas sphere
RIP John Harlan and Thunder
Ugh... "You turned Purple into Maple Surple" what the actual fuck
Who said that?

Depending upon what month this episode originally aired, I would have been either 2 or 3 years old.

Those gladiaters were relly tough shocked gladiaters didnt really hurt em

Red guy looks like Kurt Russell and Patrick Swayze's love child
Ice for life 🥶🥶

@@christianu9159 Blaze for Life.
@@JohnHartson20 ICE ICE BABY
@@christianu9159ICE ICE BABY! I had a huge crush on her!🥶🥶🧊
In my opinion, the Netflix series is way better than ESPN's 30 for 30!
The Performance of Blaze in Powerball was amazing the Contestants made no points against her. I only didn't understand why Gold celebrated soooo much she made the mistake at 8:22 so Margaret could score 2 points....
Because they're a team
I didn't realize that Blaze tried out for the Olympics in 1988. She was an incredible athlete
I think Mike Adamle wanted a bit of Purple. He was loving his time with him in the atlasphere
Purple Roundy is what happened when Matthew McConaughey and Ben Stiller somehow fused together into one being.
Pretty sure it was a 3 some because Tom Sellecks mustache made it in too
NO mention of how the other guy is Kurt Russel?
Purple Roundy? Na man! THAT'S THE 2 TIME BACK TO BACK 1994, 1995 BLOCKBUSTER CHAMPION RIGHT THERE!
DR. DISRESPECT!!! 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
38:50 she really kept her balance there 😂

True. Made sense. They at least still let the contender hold their color stick.
Also, they used to have the gladiators start within the pods and sometimes they'd have trouble getting out because they had no momentum.
Those gladiator names... like 90's beat-em-up enemies. This is actually pretty good fun. Didn't pay attention to it back then, too young to care. They couldn't do it today, they'd ruin it in some way.
They actually said how much both of the women weigh - on national television? And lived to tell about it?
holy shit Purple Roundy is straight up Ben Stiller!
I thought the same thing
Purple was real cool
BLAZE AND DIAMOND were on Geraldo Rivera talksow episode "Female bodybuilders"!!!!
Larry sounds like Norm McDonald.
quincy
Who is here to watch the gladiators get owned?
Holly shit that was rough
21:39 😂😂😂😂😂
He low key scored in power ball
Do they have women spotters and assistants on American gladiators?
Before they put Diamond in a halter top. So flaccid.
Purple Roundy would've needed to compete in season four to have a uniform that bore his namesake color.
This was peak entertainment. Been downhill ever since
@@80sand90sonlyI'm a fan of the UK version which is based on American gladiators.
@@80sand90sonly that's a good idea. One episode at a time. They only had 1 episode od series (or season) 1 of American gladiators on UA-cam

Pretty sure noone is tucking back in order to compete with women here
Was that a lady on American gladiators in the black?
Atlas sphere has always been lame and the worst event. I skip past
The power ball matches were pretty rough back then. Lazer hip tossed one guy like a frisbee !!
