    Nooooooooooooooo!

    That show was horrible.


    Unless, under the new show, the gladiators can actually rip people. Same for the contestants. THEN, it might be worth watching...

    Gina Carano will also be on. I think her name will be Crush? I think overall all, it should be entertaining. Maybe the contestants will have to enter an MMA fight with her! Now that would be good television!!! Plus Hulk Hogan and Leila Ali as annoucers, it should be fun to watch. Will have to see how many times Hogan says "brother" in the commentary.

    Gladiator names include: Hammer, Justice, Mayhem, Militia, Titan, Toa, and Wolf on the men's side, with Blast, Crush, Fury, Helga, Siren, Stealth, and Venom being the names of the female Gladiators (pulled off wiki as the NBC site is not being updated).

    And you are correct, Gina Carano is "Crush". Mike O'Hearn is "Titan", not sure about the others except that "Siren" will NOT be the deaf woman from the original run, just as Mike O'Hearn was "Thor", not "Titan" in the original series.

    Great, awesome even.

    Even better to have a female gladiator named "Helga."

    You missed the most important bit of all. Hulk Hogan is the host!!! :rolleyes: The original show was fun for the first few episodes then it just got boring. Maybe they'll find a way to keep this version intersting. How? :confused:

    Hulk Hogan AND Laila Ali.

    As for interesting, well, several events now involve water. Spandex and water is always a good combination for the eyes when it comes to well-built athletes.

    LOL, I used to love this show as a kid (the UK gladiator).

    They need to give the Gladiators names like Petal and Kitten.

    Ok, I just saw an interview with Justice and Helga and I can really do without ever seeing her in spandex again!!! Also she had a manlier voice than Justice and just about every other man I've ever heard speak. EEWWWW!!!

    Yep, it was horrible and you know it was scripted. I mean they have referee that act like they are doing something. :p

    The woman looks like she may have been hit in the jaw one to many times.

    Well, according to the blog I posted a link to, Helga may be out for the count and we may bet to meet the female alternate (Blast) sooner than later. Apparently she blew out her knee on the Gauntlet.

    I think I caught the same clip on an entertainment show that 19thlohan did. That woman was scary.
