I havent heard news or scene any information as to if they are bringing back Breakthrough and Conquer. I loved that event and it's one of my favorites.
Even though it's a simple event, it needs to be a part of the event rotation. So they are bringing the UK Gladiator game "Hit and Run". What the
hell is this event? I thought it was the equivalent of the American Gladiator's Assault.

Viper used to be a guy too! Boo on the re-using Gladiators names.

Watching the first season of AG on ESPN Classic... I forgot there was another Gladiator named Titan so I guess we have two reused names: Titan and Siren.

It is HILARIOUS comparing the Eliminator in the first season versus the Eliminator in the last season. It basically tripled in length and quadrupled in
difficulty.
Lucian Anderson = yummy |

I'm so sad I don't have ESPN Classic on the tv in my bedroom anymore. I always used to watch it at 1am. I saw a commercial the other day, with one of
the female gladiators (black woman with lots of hair) knocking some poor contender into the water. I can't wait for this to start!

Looking at some of the old episodes and I'm seeing something I did not notice the first time I saw these episodes.
Although Blaze was a bad ass, she SUCKED at most events 
I give her credit though, she is uber athletic but she is too damn competitive to a point where she self destructs and gets herself disqualified
I don't think she ever won a Joust or finished more than 5 games of Powerball without getting disqualified! And poor Lace was TOO small to be a Gladiator. Some of the contestants just steam rolled over her. |

Me?
Still waiting for pix of the original mega-babes. I think it'd be fun to compare & contrast fitness levels. |

1000Proof wrote:Hit and Run is where a challenger basically has to run from side to side on a bridge while two gladiators on each side throw demolition balls and try to knock the challenger off. 2 points are scored for each crossing, and you have a 30 second time limit (though that may change) And speaking of international competitions, we may see one return later this year, as over here we're bringing back Australian Gladiators (filming actually starts the same day as American Gladiators premieres. Aussie vs. America |

Cool. I have seen that event an actually like it. I think it'll add a better balance to events that are "strength based" versus those that are
"speed/agility based". Did they have Breakthrough and Conquer in the Australian or British versions?

They did in the British competition, but not in the Aussie one, as our original version only lasted 3 seasons
