American Gladiators

Recommended Posts

I'm sure most of you know this but Malibu went on to appear in Curb Your Enthusiasm as the professional wrestler that wanted to beat up Larry.

Good news !

 

NBC ordered a second run of its American Gladiators remake and the show’s owner, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, is backing it with a new Web site, live tour and animated series.

 

The network added the second run after the show had the biggest debut of any rookie this season with a 5.9 rating Jan. 6, a Sunday. A network source admitted that the number beat internal projections, which were in the low-four range. A second episode the next night earned a strong 4.8.

To try and capitalize, MGM is rolling out a cross-city live tour along with Reveille and Flor-Jon Films. MGM and Flor-Jon owner Johnny Ferraro also put a new Gladiators cartoon series into development.

 

MGM Jan. 28 will also launch a new site at americangladiators.com that will feature re-digitalized clips from the original series.

NBC Universal co-chairman Ben Silverman also confirmed that the 12 gladiators had been steroid-tested as part of their medical examinations, and they were also required to sign documents saying that they were clean and that they could be tested at any time.

 

they aren't trying to milk this for all its worth given the strike..nooooooo

The Hebrew Hammer! That sounds like the title of a movie I almost watched on TV.

 

God, if this is how they're going to keep editing Powerball together, they shouldn't even bother doing it. It's awful to watch.

You could say Justice was "Tough Enough" to win Assault!

 

Get it... Justice... Tough Enough... funny, right?

 

Pyramid is pretty disappointing when there's no pseudo wrestling moves, but it was neat to see Monica pull the structure apart.
