GLADIATORS: BIGGER, BADDER AND BETTER!

by **wl75** » Wed Nov 26, 2008 1:58 am

Not bad with the new events- Pursuit should be interesting to see again.. and for those who haven't been able to see American Gladiators 2008 S2- Rocketball is a really good game, trust me (think of it as reverse Swingshot).

I'm not into Cyclone's new look for some reason...the lighter hair looked better on her I thought.

re-using names is a big no-no they really couldnt have been original with the names? WTF no john anderson thats a kick in the balls. Major Mad Face!!!! i take it wolf will never compete or be on screen. so hes not really returning then is he?

JA got too much in the last series,glad he's gone. I suppose the name Amazon it was ok to use as Sharon Davies only lasted 1 season in old Gladiators but Siren was around for 3 years and Warrior was a legend of 6 years! Surely they could have used different names like errr Delta(Australian Gladiator name) and Tusk(South African Gladiator name). When I see Warrior I will just compare him to the old one!

Are they going to do the big press release again so we can see some vids on YouTube or all we getting is pics?

Thanks for posting the press release, Paul.

I'm really pleased with the new line-up. When I first heard of the recycled names, I was disappointed, but now I see them properly, I can see why they were used. Siren and Warrior really suit their names. Amazon looks totally fierce.

I wasn't too thrilled with the event choices either, but I gather Pursuit is mucho improved, and I loved Rocketball from the US series. Our series needs a big "wow" kind of game, and I think Rocketball will do that.

Does Doom remind anyone of Shadow?!?!

Got to say I didn't get to see any of the new events at filming yesterday but loved the new gladiators.

Despite the recycled names they seemed to fit in and did surprisingly well straight away.
My only issue was there was a bit of a name clash from the legends vs new glaadiators but i wont say who, you guys can just guess!

It kind of proves the point of making up new names tbh!

Can anyone say if earthquake is now positioned over water?

They're bringing back Pursuit? That's just Eliminator on the cheap! Good to see Suspension Bridge back and it'll be interesting to see how Rocketball turns out!
