If you go back to the days of the Roman Empire and their games, the most boring part was the executions of criminals which was usually done by one strike of the sword. It certainly paled to the actual gladiator fights, the Lions vs the Christians and the battle recreations where hundreds of slaves died in a brutal painful and bloody battle.

The early executions in England were almost civilized. They usually drove the condemned man to the execution site and citizens handed him drink and bread. Then he was broken on the wheel.
