Has anyone else caught this on TV yet? I watched the first couple episodes, and just had to turn the second one off half way through. Seriously! It was either the incredibly stupid announcer, or the 5second quick cuts that did it in for me. I did dig the events, and the contestents, and most of the gladiators, although the blonde one in front reminds me too much of that special kid from MadTV. I don’t think I’ll be watching any more of it though, meh.
Since I first heard about this show I have never had any intention to watch it.
The blond guy in front looks really gay.
Agreed about the blond guy.
Fucking qweer show.
Haha! He does look like Stewart!
I watched the first few episodes, mainly for the Hulkster, but yeah, it’s too over-the-top glitzy, and doesn’t have the same kitsch-y appeal that the original did. Also, the blonde dude up front? Guy played Superman in the “World’s Finest” fan-film. Habeeb it.
let me show you my aztec warrior!
I think the over abundance of precanned smack talk is what killed this show for me.
Agreed. The smack talk is awfully unnecessary and really takes a lot from the shows potential.
That red-head up in the front is definitely worth looking at, though.
If they just took out ALL the talking it would be a great show. They don’t, ergo it sucks.
I love it. I am simple.
crap in the 90’s, crap today. i don’t think there is way to improve this in any way.
Just imagine if that blond one just said in the middle of an event “Look what I can do!”
