And Montell Douglas; bet she never thought when she held the 100m record that this might be next in her career!! Arena felt a little sparse and the gladiators were a little game-rusty or poorly prepared I think. But it was fine and two of my boys enjoyed it, in a sort of ironic post-modern way!
Surrey Phil Jan 2024 3:55pm, 15 Jan 2024 10,134 posts	0 Surrey Phil Anyone remember Battledome? An American series which had contenders against resident musclemen. There was also an in-house rivalry taking place so it came across as a Gladiators meets WWE.
Surrey Phil Jan 2024 4:00pm, 18 Jan 2024 10,136 posts	0 Surrey Phil Just caught up with Saturday's show. A few of the new games seemed like a variation of the older ones; i.e. suspension bridge is now collision (swinging gladiators rather than balls being thrown), and ring looked a bit like powerball (without the buckets and balls). Viper as the new Wolf? Maybe. Let's see if he starts to get in the faces of everyone like Wolf used to. The male galdiators are as huge as they always were. Fury looks awesome although Dynamite would suit less wrestle-type games like hang tough as well as the wall or skytrack - if they still have those events planned. You never saw Lightning do those sort of games.

I can personally confirm the ensuing awkwardness from small talk 😶.
Surrey Phil Jan 2024 8:13pm, 19 Jan 2024 10,138 posts	0 Surrey Phil Last night, I actually found the first ever Gladiators show on YouTube. There were two gladiators I had never heard of (Hawk and Flame) but a few old favourites as well. Lots of big hair! The assault course at the end seemed a bit short. In duel, one female contender was allowed to block everything without offering one attacking shot. I think this was changed over the years so that they could be DQ'd for not trying.
