The steps below the red step were also changed if you look closely. Originally they were all (probably about 2ft) high, all the same. Here you can see the pyramid sort of tapers out at the bottom in a sort of stepped curve. The problem was that events like this and Poleaxe had real bad accidents happen so were altered making them not as good. It'd be nice to think of another way to do them, keeping the original format but safer... but I know as everyone else does that there wasn't unfortunately
Old Gladiators > new Gladiators. Pyramid was one of my favourite events alongside Pendulum =D. Nothing like watching people wrestle & roll about on that thing =P.
This "red step" version of Pyramid only had 3 appearances (ignoring Train 2 Win). This clip was that version of Pyramid's last appearance before the event was axed again.
+James Morris I would actually agree with you completely on that one. The revival series brought back Pyramid with its original size steps, although the revival Pyramid had 10 steps (9 if you don't count the very small step with the button on top) instead of 11. Personally, I prefer the earlier Pyramid over the "red step" Pyramid (yes, I know they did this because of Jet's injury in the 1996 live shows).
Our old uk series KICKED ASS. The nearest to it is the new austrailian series, our new uk one is poor because of the rushed and cheap production, arena and commentator, music etc.
i love watching gladiators!

3:17 That was so cheeky of Wolf!
Gotta love John Anderson. No nonsense bloke!
After the injury to Jet, I think it was great idea to bring in the red step
Yes, it was the right call.
@@RoyStantz and with the Red step only 1 contestant had got the 10 points Piers Bryant after cobra got him on the Red step when he wasn't supposed to
@1989jnicks Yeah but don't forget the reason why ''The Red Steps'' were introduced

Mainly because it was terrible. Even the pyro at the top was worse than the previous version!

You get the feeling they were doing that to protect the falls, and yet there were still injuries...
@@GladiatorsBoy and only 1 contestant got to the top on this red step pyramid. That was the 97 male champion Piers Bryant
@@peterwilliamskelhorn6675correction 2 of them Ronnie got 10 points in the red version against wolf
Well , he gets sent off. You heard what John sachs says at the end of the clip
@jarvinator100
But that's why we love him!
TEN POINTS! *Jumps around*
go wolf go
Probably kicked off. Don't know if the contender is allowed to come back for the Eliminator, or if they lose.
@Cockatiel2007 Ten ponits are awarded to whoever hits it
Me fav gladiator was always Wolf
5:04 LOL Wolf is a clown!
LOL... anyway this pyramid wasn't bad, i dunno why ppl complaining so much... beats the new one ! They seriously need a bigger studio next year
4:47. If Wolf doesn't fuck you up he will fuck you...
New gladiators okay! I just prefer the old gladiators! Good old good old! LOL!
