My childhood nostalgia i still love the American gladiators watched it every weekend and got to live my dream when I saw it live at universal studios back in the 90s wonderful show.
2 things: 1) who else's greatest ambition was to turn 18 so we could be able to try out for this show? I know it was mine! 🤣😁👍🙋♀️ 2) who else agrees that this really needs to be put up on Netflix?
Similar to Human Cannonball, gladiators had the disadvantage in Breakthrough cause you had these contenders sometimes larger contenders charging at them at full speed and tried to run the gladiators over. The gladiators had to make a smart defensive move to take them down. I recall one dirty contender, Trish T., charging at Gold with the football and hit her on the chin with it in Season 2.
I think Breakthrough was a fair event. The one event that stood out with a disadvantage was Pyramid because the contenders had to go up the hill. Gladiators won like 75% of the time.
@@AmericanGladiatorsFan Ice said during one of her podcasts that the gladiators were definitely at the disadvantage during breakthrough because the contenders charging at them in full speed and trying to run them over.
Shelly beatty aka Siren was a competitive bodybuilder and very well known during the early 90's, sadly she passed away through suicide by hanging herself....you just don't know others go through even though it looks to be going very well for them professionally.
I like Lace 2.0. She was very beautiful, but was only in one episode. I think she got injured, not sure. One time Zap referred to her as "the stripper".
@@AmericanGladiatorsFan I think Lace #2 might be in three episodes, Season 4 Ep 1 & 2. And there's this never aired or aka lost episode of the US International Gladiator with Peggy Odita representing South Africa (not US), Lace #2 had curly hair and was featured there as well. The episode is on youtube if you search it, It's dubbed in a foreign language. I was very disappointed that after bulking up and looking tough in Season 3, Lace #1 left the show, but on top of that, they replaced her with another Lace 😮
The "eye-candy" Gladiators like Zap, Diamond and Lace II were completely embarrassed by the speed and quickness of track & field contenders... look @ 0:17, 1:22, 2:36, 3:42 and 4:55
Baby the Black women (both contenders and gladiators alike) were killing it. Shout out to Jazz and Storm they don't seem to get a lot of love in this comment section. And of course Lisa Langston for that amazing ankle breaking move on Diamond @ 1:25. RIP Cheryl Wilson.
Come on y’all…we all got eyes… But it do seem like the black women is breaking these white gladiators ankles…while the black gladiators got these white girls on 4th and inches ✊🏽
Most women have never played a football type game. It's much harder to do the tackling than the running if you have no experience in a game like this. You also have an advantage in this game if you run faster than the person tackling you. You can see Jazz had some experience as she almost never went for a fake and made the tackle.
Turns out steroids doesn't improve reaction time...I'm really glad for the new documentary and the gladiators mostly coming out and saying "yeah, we were pretty much all on gear"...those bodies simply don't exist naturally
“Contenders have to make some kind of move in breakthrough. They can’t just bowl people over”. They must of changed the rules after the very first season when some Williams guy ran right over Gemini lmao.
She was definitely one of the top contenders of all time with great speed and power. She overpowered both Elektra and Storm in Conquer. What kept her below someone like Peggy Odita is that Cheryl struggled in events like Hangtough and Joust.
This show was the shit. So amazing. Who didn’t watch this as a kid
My childhood nostalgia i still love the American gladiators watched it every weekend and got to live my dream when I saw it live at universal studios back in the 90s wonderful show.
beautiful ankle break @1:17
We gotta fight after the cameras go off you break my ankles like that!
I audibly gasped
This show came in HANDY for a young boy going thru puberty
You use to spank the monkey to the male gladiators? Whatever floats your boat.

I absolutely agree with number two. But eventually it would be taken off of Netflix
"She gave her a beautiful move. Diamond went for it there was nothing there but air". LoooooooooL 3:55
1:21 Ankles broken. What a move.
This is one of my favorite shows growing up along with Are you afraid of the dark
We need American Gladtiors get together show

1:53 Jazz is like you want some come and get it
I will show you how it’s done
Is this the fake "Lace" 2:23 from Season 4 🤣 How could the producers think they could just throw in a Lace replacement without us noticing it 😆

quarantine has been an odd experience

Zap is an incredible athlete, watch her powerball clips.
You dont know how hard it is to stop somebody only being able to go side to side.
Jesus loves you all❤️, allow him into your hearts....
Before American Ninja Warrior the world had this.
Siren and ice were hot!!
I liked Electra too tho
and jazz!
Jesus loves you all❤️, allow him into your hearts....
Loved this show!

Impressive, I wanna see the best of Siren & the best of Dallas 💪🏻
This one has Siren & Jazz comparison - ua-cam.com/video/kZGwsseSBTg/v-deo.html
@@AmericanGladiatorsFan Siren is assault specialist season 5 episode 19
Jesus loves you all❤️, allow him into your hearts....
Found out today that one of my gym teachers/substitute teacher was in this show.
Who?
Zap.was a well known bodybuilder in her own right in the 90's.
Diamond is hot
Her and Zap did it for me.
I was a Elektra and Siren man
Jesus loves you all❤️, allow him into your hearts....
Come on y’all…we all got eyes…
But it do seem like the black women is breaking these white gladiators ankles…while the black gladiators got these white girls on 4th and inches ✊🏽
RIP Gold and Siren you were so pretty
Ok, important question... WHO WAS HOTTER... Zap 4:44, Lace II 2:23 or Diamond 0:10?
Diamond
Jesus loves you all❤️, allow him into your hearts....
1:25 loooooool her ankles look like an uneven jenga tower
Diamond didn’t want to tackle no one...

Between the ages of 8-13 this was a good deal. #americangladiators. Blaze Siren Zap Storm Ice Diamond were the best female gladiators
“Contenders have to make some kind of move in breakthrough. They can’t just bowl people over”. They must of changed the rules after the very first season when some Williams guy ran right over Gemini lmao.
RIP SIREN
Yes!
RIP
Very sad indeed Rest In Peace siren one of the best gladiators!🙏

Donna WALKED up to Jazz.
I think Donna was intimidated by Jazz.
Think you could make a video of Blaze?
Zap definitely had a broken ankle
I liked how the announcers didn't sugar-coat it when the gladiators were owned. adamle, czonka and nitro were pretty good announcers
@@AmericanGladiatorsFan definitely
Jesus loves you all❤️, allow him into your hearts....
RIP Hawk
Langston could play for the Browns
She could go against Zap and Diamond 100 times each and I bet she would score at least 98 out 100 against both of them
Para versiones de gladiadores los de Australia se inspiraron en los del Reino Unido .
Y los de Finlandia para los de American gladiators.
It's sad Cheryl Wilson was murdered by her husband
She was definitely one of the top contenders of all time with great speed and power. She overpowered both Elektra and Storm in Conquer. What kept her below someone like Peggy Odita is that Cheryl struggled in events like Hangtough and Joust.
She was killed by her husband??
Jesus loves you all❤️, allow him into your hearts....
@@bighitz2400sadly
They don't make tv like this anymore
5 10’ 175 wow
In the last season during Powerball, Nitro said Jazz was 5'10 182 lbs.
American Gladiators Fan I heard that Zap and Ice were 175 lbs each at one point.
Jesus loves you all❤️, allow him into your hearts....
Lamar Jackson is that you??
Anybody seen goat boy..
