Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2008 Mayhem's okay. Militia was pretty good at Earthquake, but that was a lame event anyway. I was never terribly impressed with Fury either. Give me Atlasphere and Swingshot in the rotation next time around, and I'm a happier camper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
starvenger 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2008 Breakthrough and Conquer needs to come back. I still don't understand how they could bring back Powerball but not B&C. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

starvenger 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2008 They pretty much broke breakthru & conquer in to two separate events, Gauntlet and Earthquake. I'm not really sold on that Lush. I don't have to remind you that B&C was still around when Gauntlet debuted. And I don't know that Gauntlet was modelled after any real football drills, but I think there's a Madden mini-game modeled after Gauntlet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mik 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2008 The Gauntlet also sucks. They get 8-10 every time... every contestant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
starvenger 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2008 They need to reduce the time to 30 seconds. But even then they might not be able to stop the contenders, as demonstrates in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Conspiracy_Victim 0 Report post Posted February 21, 2008 No Human Cannonball without Malibu! Can you imagine Malibu getting interviewed by Hogan? Might set the world record for most uses of "Dude" and possibly "Hangin' and bangin'" in a TV segment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted February 22, 2008 So Gina already had to drop one scheduled fight to train for Season 1, so what is going to be her priority, season 2 or her next fight? I guess it is possible the two won't conflict... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2008 on 411, they mention something about replacing some Gladiators...gotta be Stealth for sure and possibly Militia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brocklock 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2008 I can see Stealth, Militia, Hellga, Mayhem, and Fury going. I can't seeing them get rid of Crush, Titan, and Wolf. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. S£im Citrus 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2008 I don't see them getting rid of Hellga or Militia; they've at least got personalities and fans. They've got to introduce more events that are more conducive to whatever it is that Hellga is good at, though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blade2kxx 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2008 I can see Stealth, Militia, Hellga, Mayhem, and Fury going. I can't seeing them get rid of Crush, Titan, and Wolf. I too don't see Hellga going anywhere, since she has a look and a personality, though they really need to let the Gladiators get some mic time. Militia's on the bubble I'd say, because while I don't like him, he does seem to have some fans. DEFINITE KEEP Titan, Wolf, Toa, Crush, Hellga, Justice MAYBE KEEP Mayhem, Venom, Siren BUBBLE Fury, Militia GONE Stealth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
starvenger 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2008 Here's a question - Gina's got an MMA contract with EliteXC, but with AG on NBC, will they be able to showcase her fights on their CBS broadcasts? Because I'd much rather see her than Kimbo Slice, y'know? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because I'd much rather see her than Kimbo Slice, y'know? I'm sure that isn't an issue - it's not like she's being billed as a MMA fighter, much less even her real name, on AG.

starvenger 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2008 So new season is around the corner, and there's three "new" events: - Rocketball (looks like kind of a reverse Swingshot) - Skytrack (preview looks like it's in the original Infinity Loop config - Vertigo (which I think was a UK Gladiators event) Also read somewhere that Monica's Gladiator name is Jet and Evan's is Rocket...

Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2008 I'd love to see Evan on Skytrack...obviously they'll put him in events where speed is the biggest factor, he should most likely excel, I would imagine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

starvenger 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2008 The Wikipedia entry has a link to NBC Universal's Media site, and I haven't seen anything concerning Mayhem, Fury or Stealth. There's also an EW article where they mention Tilt (Tug O War) as an event. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brocklock 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2008 I just visited the NBC Gladiator site and lists these as the Gladiators for next season: Men: Wolf Toa Titan Justice Militia Rocket (Evan who really looks like Jericho now) Women: Jet (Monica looking insanely ripped and kind of like Victoria) Crush Hellga Phoenix (Really hot new gladiator) Siren Venom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Conspiracy_Victim 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2008 Phoenix's fuscia hair is going to have to grow on me, but yeah I like her. Not quite Crush levels, but an early favorite. What the hell did they do to Monica? Evan still looks like Evan (just oiled up) and my memory's not great, but man Monica looks very different from who I remember from season 1. Did Morgan not make the cut? Thought he was going to be a Gladiator this season, but I don't see him on the website. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
