Wolf with a Canadian Destroyer

[MikeVic]

This looks like a game from MXC/Takeshi's Castle.

Nonsense. Moli is good tv and he's the little underdog so people will root for him.

What carnage. That was so fun. Especially as a few seconds before the old guy tried to hide behind his 150 pound opponent

If you want a good laugh, go the bio and look at his skills.

[highfiveoh]

Wow, this is absolutely horrible. Where have all the talented people in this world gone?

[bulletsponge]

im convinced they booze up the crowd

[DeToxRox]

This staged crowd must be person for person the same crowd who showed up for Double Dare tapings fifteen years ago, just grown up.

OMFG! It's Lorenzo Lamas!

[Coffee Warlord]

They need to bring back the one with the bungee cords too.

I was lost in his eyes.

[Jas_lov]

What they need is some human cannonball!

[stevew]

Watching them get pounded off the bridge was a darn good time.

Yeah, I'm going to like that event.. I think especially for the women because they really fly when they get hit.

I think we found the next Dancing with the Stars contestant!

There was two: Swingshot, which was jump off a platform, to the floor spring up to a central pillar, try to grab a ball off the pillar and then back to the platform..

The other was Snapback.. which was different, contenders and gladiators on opposite side of arena, attached to their wall by a bungee cored, with the middle of the arena having the scoring pillars.

[MikeVic]

That swim under the fire seems really dangerous, doesn't it?

I remember that first one, yeah - that one was good..

I hope they expand the number of events if they do another season.

There was one angle where it looked like you could stick your head up and not be anywhere near the fire. If that ever happened, it would surely be edited out.

[MikeVic]

Do you get penalized for falling? It seems like skipping the rolling thing and just running that would be faster.

[Jas_lov]

Moli wins! Arrogant Jeff is too old, fat, and overweight.

[bulletsponge]

wow weak

[SirFozzie]

if it's anything like the original, you have to wait 5-7 seconds before you can climb up.. it seemed like that happened.

Wew ere just talking about that here at my house.

I thought there was a penalty, but they haven't talked about it at all.

[molson]

23 people in the thread - I predict this thing's going to get ratings, at least for the premiere.

The XFL has a better shot of coming back.

Yeah, like wtf. I'd just fall off too.

In the originals, weren't the gladiators in the pit to hold the contestant for that 5-7 second delay.

And I think this thing will probably get pretty good ratings as well.

[SirFozzie]

Ow. She took a header into the bar on that jump.

Now you're talking!

Go Maniax!

[Jas_lov]

There should be gladiators at the end blocking the wall like in the original.

[molson]

I can't wait for Celebrity American Gladiator.

I'm not sure i agree. AG has the advantage of the writer's strike, nostalgia, and just no competition to build ratings.

I wouldn't be surprised at all to see it come back and potentially to come back this summer (where I think this show really belongs anyways if you dont' have a writer's strike).

[stevew]

I'm sure it'll be back for May Sweeps if they get good ratings. They probably just didn't want to commit to too much of a run in case it XFL's out.

I disagree. This was 2 hours of quality programming. Way better than anything else NBC has at this point. If it doesn't get good enough ratings to stay on NBC, put it on USA before RAW.

[bulletsponge]

aside from the cheesiness of the gladiators and that ass contestant, i thought it sucked

Sgt Hot Blonde deserves bonus points for finishing with a possible concussion.

[SirFozzie]

yup. The contenders really took a shitkicking tonight (the female contender in the first episode blowing out her knee, and then Sgt Hot Blonde (thanks, Coffee ) taking a header on that steel bar..

Powerball is just a fucking scary event now with the pads, since there's no out of bounds, you can really get smacked.

Could they have made the goals any bigger? Jesus, I'd be raining 3s all day. The old game they were barely big enough to fit the ball.

This was pure shit, I couldn't even enjoy it for the unintentional comedy. Overproduced and overcommentated. I'm thinking of deleting this thread.

Delete this thread, and not only will people lose posts, but JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED!

Don't you dare! Give the show another chance tomorrow! Justice will NOT be served by deleting the best thread currently on the front page.

I'll let the thread survive...if Crush gets delivered to my apartment by the end of the week. Slammin.

And if this happens, do you want an open or closed casket funeral after she pops your head off?

[Karlifornia]

I haven't read the thread yet, but I'm watching now. Been waiting for this for a while (sadly).

Thoughts halfway through the show:

-What was up with the announcer and "I wonder what else Crush does for fun!" in the most possibly perverted way? I thought that was pretty damn funny.

-The skateboarder blows.

-Wolf is my favorite Gladiator so far. Come on..the howling? Yusss...

-Earthquake is a lame event....Won't miss it if doesn't come back.

[Karlifornia]

Pyramid is still awesome....I think it's my favorite

[Karlifornia]

Holy fuck...the Women's Eliminator was awesome...I mean it was sort of sad to watch, but I couldn't believe Koya couldn't pull herself up....I get the feeling the men's eliminator won't be so wild.

16.5 second headstart? I wonder if anyone has won it with such a time handicap.

[Karlifornia]

Wait, it's on for another hour? Kick ass!
