Maztinho Posted May 13, 2008 Report Posted May 13, 2008 Did anyone else go "they're screwed" when you saw the Joust and Crush was there? The best is when they cut to the one ladies daughter holding the "I love you Mommy" sign and Crush knocked her off in like 6 seconds. And the little girl looked like she was going to cry.
naiwf Posted May 13, 2008 Report Posted May 13, 2008 Was Siren the only gladiator who didn't compete in either episode?
Conspiracy_Victim Posted May 13, 2008 Report Posted May 13, 2008 The news on Morgan is that when he went to finalize the deal to be on Gladiators, they wanted to sign him to a 6 year deal tht would make the show his first priority. He wanted wrestling to be his first priority, so he turned it down. Things have since been worked out, and he will debut this season while being lowered from a cage. His Gladiator name is "Beast." Yeah I thought before the first ep. when they showed the silhouettes (sp) of the new Gladiators they had one guy who looked huge and had an animal skin of some kind over his shoulders. I thought maybe it was him. Or maybe I'm just imagining the whole thing. And the bit on Crush on E:60 was OK. Nothing earth shattering (she's popular because she's hot and kicks ass, she gets a lot of exposure that the... more homely MMA females don't get, they don't like her "selling sex") but it was still nice. Didn't know her dad was a QB for the Cowboys back in the day.

Black Lushus Posted May 14, 2008 Report Posted May 14, 2008 apparently they did a 2.9 for the ratings...yowza, not good.
randomguy Posted May 14, 2008 Report Posted May 14, 2008 I didn't realize this was on again. Seems like an odd time to start a new season.
starvenger Posted May 14, 2008 Report Posted May 14, 2008 apparently they did a 2.9 for the ratings...yowza, not good. Definitely, but it was up against Dancing and House (which was really, really good), so I can't say I'm surprised. I think the true test as a summer series comes in two weeks once the other shows are done for the year.
Blade2kxx Posted May 20, 2008 Report Posted May 20, 2008 Gotta say, I like Zen. Also, Rocket speeding past his competitor and cutting him off was great.
naiwf Posted May 20, 2008 Report Posted May 20, 2008 Gotta say, I like Zen. Also, Rocket speeding past his competitor and cutting him off was great. "Officer is there a problem?" I like how the gladiators are cockier this year.
Blade2kxx Posted May 20, 2008 Report Posted May 20, 2008 "Officer is there a problem?" I like how the gladiators are cockier this year. They have a reason to be... Titan killing the guy in 2 seconds was amazingly awesome.
Mik Posted May 20, 2008 Report Posted May 20, 2008 It seems like either the contests were altered to make the gladiators look better or they just got way better between seasons. Skytrack was a bit lame tonight. It's amazing that 1+ year and Crush is still undefeated in every event. Go Gina. Monica continues to be in nearly every event while Evan only on the wall... although he was awesome on that tonight. And did anyone else notice that the girls made it past the swimming point more than twice as fast as the guys tonight? Lushus said it best last season...
Blade2kxx Posted May 27, 2008 Report Posted May 27, 2008 Justice on the Joust just doesn't seem fair... Especially since Titan OWNS the Joust.
starvenger Posted May 27, 2008 Report Posted May 27, 2008 No-longer-deaf guy is probably the favourite now to be Grand Champion - I think he'd have been around 90sec if he hadn't popped his shoulder...
Black Lushus Posted May 27, 2008 Report Posted May 27, 2008 I've only caught bits and pieces so far this season, got everything DVRed, just havent gotten around to watching them all yet. What's the deal with Steel? Her gimmick is that she doesn't talk? Right... I noticed there's a flippy wirey Asian Gladiator now...Zen. How has he done so far? Who was the "mammoth beast" male Gladiator they were talking about? The one in the cage? EDIT: I wiki'ed it...it's Matt Morgan eh? Beast...I figured he went back to wrestling full time.

Yeah, but exposure on AG has got to be better than just being on TNA, so good on him, I guess.
Maztinho Posted May 27, 2008 Report Posted May 27, 2008 I've only seen Zen in one event and that was The Wall and he did pretty good. The deaf guy going, "Oh, I separated my shoulder, it's okay, I popped it back in" was like a highlight of my day.
Darthtiki Posted May 27, 2008 Report Posted May 27, 2008 Anyone see the preview for next week: Titan=Blanka
naiwf Posted May 27, 2008 Report Posted May 27, 2008 Anyone see the preview for next week: Titan=Blanka That was hilarious. As for Zen he's pretty good at everything I've seen him do. My biggest gripe with this season is that due to the increased number of gladiators, they end up using some of them in half of the events one week and then not at all the next.

She's only been in the opening credits. She hasn't done any events. My guess is that she may be injured.
starvenger Posted May 29, 2008 Report Posted May 29, 2008 Hey Lush - forgot to mention that Carano is fighting this Saturday on EliteXC's CBS debut. Should be a pretty good fight...
starvenger Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 I think somebody needs to explain to me why Rocket looks a lot like Sidney Crosby...
Black Lushus Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 Hey Lush - forgot to mention that Carano is fighting this Saturday on EliteXC's CBS debut. Should be a pretty good fight... I'm not a huge MMA fan, but I did watch. She was killing that chick.
Mr. S£im Citrus Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 Man, I hope that they don't make a habit of leaving events out of the televised broadcast.
starvenger Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 Yeah, what the fuck was that? Are Layla and Hulk's salaries so big that they need to show them on the screen more to get their money's worth? It's not like we're getting useful comments from the contenders during these things. NBC needs to figure this out: People watch Gladiators for the competition first, Gladiators second, competitors third. BTW I loved that stat about Crush outweighing the annoying short woman by 40lbs. Gina barely made 145 for her fight at 140. You cannot tell me she's not at at least 150 for this AG season...
Black Lushus Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 I'm glad I'm not the only one that was annoyed with "Rocky"...lord I hope someone takes out her Eliminator time so we don't have to see her again. Gina's easily rockin 150...and I love it!
naiwf Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 They list Crush at 155 lbs on the graphic, and that may be understating her size by a few pounds.
Jebus Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 Man, I hope that they don't make a habit of leaving events out of the televised broadcast. They shortened AG from 90 minutes to 60 due to sagging ratings so get used to events being shown in highlight form.
