Anyone remember this car-jumping contestant from the old episodes? He dominated and "gave 110%" during every challenge.
I totally remember Two Scoops. Good times. Good memory.

Plus the rope to the top is kinda lame. Make the buggers run. Just shows the wussification of Gladiator society.

I could really do without Hulk Hogan. Why does he constantly need to yell? That's what the microphone is for.

These are not the Gladiators you are looking for.

Gary Bettman needs to contact NBC right away and arrange for an all NHL vs. American Gladiators episode.

They'll have Parros, Godard, Phaneuf, Boogard, Neil, Chara, Pronger, Colton Orr, Laraque, the Phillidelphia Flyers, etc. fight the Gladiators in all the normal events. Then at some point there will be a made-up ice event and we'll see how well the gladiators do on ice. Then NBC will spin-off gladiators on ice into a Will Ferrell movie and make an insane fortune.

Oh man, I so should be a sports/entertainment executive.

Is it just me or are these gladiators terrible?

Geez on the first show that Militia guy couldn't even grab a second ring let alone prevent anyone from crossing. Then the guy on Joust who stepped on the other platform twice.

The female gladiators are no better.

Hogan is a TERRIBLE host. When he's in character it looks like he's trying to take a dump when he's talking with those bent legs.

Still just a classic cheese show and guilty pleasure.

I believe Two Scoops won his season.

He only gave 110% on the first game. After that it was progressively scaled up. Near the end of his run I'm pretty sure he was giving well over 700%.

Look Brother

I finally sat down with some of my crunchomaniacs last night and through the awesom force of my 19" guns pushed channel 12 on my remote control so that I could watch a show thats just as awesome as the millions and millions of fans who pine about me at home on T.V.

I just have to say brother, that the Gladiators are almost good enough to hang with the Crunchster, brother, and I have all kinds and love and respect for the contestants for bringing everything.

And as we sat around stately Crunch manner wearing our NWO T-Shirts and telling the paper boy to go to hell we were distressed to see that one of the contestants was sporting a punji stick after wrestling one of the gladiators.

Didn't need to see that bra.

So every monday night, the American Gladiators and the crunchsters 36" waist, 58" chest and 72" biceps are going to explode into your home.

Whatcha gonna do when the red white and blue explodes on you?!!!!??

Dude that would be freaking awesome. I would love to see a crossover like that. The ratings would be huge.
If the NHL sent Crosby, do you think the Gladiators would know not to touch him.
I don't know about all the guys you picked though. Yes they have size, but I think the star power would be needed. So its tough on who to send. I'd say
Phaneuf, Chara, Pronger, Neil for sure. But I think you could send guys like Iggy, Lecalvier, and even Ovechkin. Yeah you don't want them getting hurt, but if the average joe can do it, I'm sure they could
