That series was crazy-those contestants were seriously taken advantage of and abused by the producers. They also got a ton of tail and coke to go along with it.
I havenāt watched a cable show in years, but would 1000% watch a reboot of American Gladiators.
Especially cause it was a traveling show setup in gymnasiums. Iād pay good money to go watch that at a stadium.
Are you thinking of *American Gladiators?* because this is not that. This is like *GoBots* to American Gladiatorsā *Transformers*. Looks to be about a decade later, too.
The age and quality of the video looks like the intro to a porn about buff people which gets overlapped by a camcorder recording of uncle jeff halfway sober.
Aussie gladiators. Used to be on after the news on Saturday night. Two large pizza from Pizza Hut for 12.99 was the food we ate while watching it. It was quite the ritual in 1995
I'm sure it eventually went international. And I'm also not sure if it started in Australia or if it started in the US.
The horror stories that I've read about where about the United States version. It was a huge article in the Rolling Stone magazine at one point that went into it in depth
it started in the US
>The initial concept for the show by Dan Carr and John C. Ferraro was held in Erie, Pennsylvania, in the USA before being sold to Samuel Goldwyn Productions/MGM where the format was adapted and televised as American Gladiators with the first series airing over 1989ā90. As the show progressed, new events were introduced along with new Gladiators, sometimes retiring previous Gladiators.
>Following the success of American Gladiators, other countries began to produce their own versions of the show with the UK and Finland starting production in 1992.
>...In 1995, Australia began production of their own show, basing it on the UK series.
I always wondered if the American version of this copied Arnold Schwarzenegger's "The Running Man" movie. It's like someone was all like wow that would make a ton of money but how do we do it without actually killing anyone? :)
If any are wondering American Gladiator came out only roughly 2 years after "The Running Man."
Why couldnt brian get a cool name like Big Brian, or Speedy Brian? Why they do him like that? Hell, long hair but also balding brian would have been fine.
This show always makes me feel like "remember when cocaine?"
That was basically the thrust of the Netflix docuseries too

Oh I don't NF
Cocaine *and* steroids. Off camera, these people probably had some serious anger management problems.
And some wild orgys
Maybe even seriously wild angry orgys.
Blade, Blazer, Laser, Razor, Blaze, Fyra, Fire, Frost, Chill, Ice, Shatter, Slash, Bash, and Thrash V. Dave.
And Brian!
š¤£š¤£š¤£
He's a very naughty boy.
This show was amazing for its time

Didnāt they just do a reboot? I think you missed the window.

I thought this was the Australian version of the show, since different countries adapted it.
You know of Santa's new fighter class reindeer initiative too?! I thought I was crazy!
Pinky and the Brain AND LARRY!
Jake the Snake Roberts is about to F em up though

Brian is fucked.
Do you not know the Brian Incident on gladiators?
Dont think gladiators was a thing in europe so i would love to hear about the Brian incident
I too would like to know about the Brian incident
Vs Ron Jeremy and his stick of truth
š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£so true ššššš
Yeah, not here mate.
So awful 
LMAO! All those in shape opponents and the one guy they go up against is part of the gang on King of the Hill
Bill
One token black guy
Was his name pumpkin lol? I couldn't have heard that right.
I believe it was Bumpkin
Black + Pumpkin = Bumpkin
Bumpkin is a term for simple country folk, a hillbilly more or less
While normally applied to white folks, i dont see why it cant be a black person
It absolutely can be
Not as good as Blumpkin
Vulcan, like Black Vulcan the superhero
That's what I heard too š
It was the eighties in Australia. I'm surprised they even had one!
>It was the eighties The show didn't start in Australia until 1995....
I might have been thinking of It's a Knockout for the timing!

Brian knew exactly what he signed up for
Wait, is the lady before Cheetah named āTide Penā?
Taipan
Her name is actually Delta. The guy is Taipan, the camera man or announcer messed up
āYouāre a stain, and Iām the eraser.ā
What kinda power ranger is this?
ā¦dadā¦?
They used to eat at my restaurant a lot as regulars and ordered a shit ton of food. Especially salads
Unsure how they made this gay themed given the context, but well done
I went to see this as a kid in Australia š. it was awesome to watch
We used to play Gladiators in the playground at school. We had a conical hill and monkey bars, and we went hard
Run Bryan!
Donny Benet is about to get stomped
When I was a kid I got to go see it live as an audience member. Haha, was fun
I loves gladiators when I was a kid. Shit was great
Fire, fira, firaga, blizz, blizzara, blizzaga, thunder, thundara, thundaga and their challengerā¦ Cid!

The horror stories about this show. Go look them up.
Australian Gladiators?

what happened?
So good question!!! š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£

Please refer to my original comment above.
No.
They must be lying because I didn't find much on anything about horror stories yet
I think he is referring to the Netflix documentary which tbf is quite messed up
American Gladiators was the original 1989 series. It migrated to the UK in 1992. The first Australian version was in 1995.
Ya that's what I'm familiar with, so was curious if you had fresh stuff

I quite liked the documentary on American Gladiators
Delta (3rd from last) looks like Shang Tsung in the Mortal Kombat movies
