I loved watching this show with my older brother! This brings back memories of the 90's when we'd be at home together and watch this show everyday while our parents were at work in the Summer Times!
Between the “Ask A Gladiator!” Fan Mail, and “30 Seconds With……”, I kinda like the interviews better, because you find out a lot more about the Gladiators, like Hawk(RIP). Though, I still missed the Gladiator Moment Clips.
Mark Muse and Jerry Hill were fantastic in the Conquer Portion of Breakthrough and Conquer, and the Wall. Also, Mark Muse was amazing in Whiplash, and the Men's Eliminator.
The first regulation competition ever without Powerball. Gotta say, the show feels naked without it. And after his segment in the previous episode, this was the first visual proof that I had for Turbo just turning heel starting this season. And we know it won't be the last.
@@Nitero_ see, I didn't like heel Turbo. He didn't NEED to be heel Turbo. He knew how to bang heads and take names, and though he was strictly "nice", he showed you all of his excitement, energy and respect without getting in your face about it or getting upset. Then season 5 happened and... eh...
The audacity of Jerry Hill, to stand there and showboat in front of Hawk (who lost by his own error), after getting absolutely spiked by Turbo. Also that helmet flip by Turbo was ice-cold.
Most of the competitors know if they perform better than average with style, they may get a shot of becoming a Gladiator. The first set of auditions, some who came to apply for the competitor spot ended up being picked to be a Gladiator. Believe there was an audition of first overall group of producers choosing who gets to be Gladiators over competitors. But the chance of becoming a gladiator was always the main focus to win of majority of competitors. Believe Hill thought he got a chance by doing his showboating to hype the crowd's attention for PRODUCERS..
@@TehJew22 He was always in the title matches! Turbo and Nitro were both tough, but Bret Hart usually had the edge, unless I wanted to have a heel championship run. Then Turbo or Nitro would win, talk smack, and beat everyone until Bret had is "redemption story." 🤣
Jerry Hill not looking sportsmanlike AT ALL during Breakthrough and Conquer. I suppose he didn’t enjoy getting smashed by Turbo and decided to showboat after Hawk lost on his own in Conquer.
After watching the Breakthrough portion of Breakthrough and Conquer, it looked like Jerry Hill held onto Turbo's head after being driven out of bounds. No wonder Turbo was angry. A move like that could have caused a neck injury.
Idk. Turbo lifted him up and drove him up and to the ground OUT of bounds. You do that in football or rugby, rugby league you get penalized. Turbo is just as much at fault
@@Echothrax It was not as dangerous of a hit by Turbo as it looked. He didn't spike him down onto his back, neck, or head. His ass hit first, and he tolled to his back. However, Jerry holding onto his head and neck like that while he's trying to pull away when the game is already over is what pissed Turbo off.
Yup, that's the premise of the show, and why the showrunners always encouraged the sportsmanship that they did, because the contestants are almost always at size disadvantage and sometimes at a numbers disadvantage, depending on the event.
Damn, that fall Ruth took in the Eliminator was rough. Not only did she fall off of one cylinder and bounce off of the other, but it looked like she missed the floor mats entirely. Honestly, it's a good thing the contenders wear headgear so they don't crack their skulls.
Yeah, it looks like she missed pretty much everything, the pad you land on and the push pads held by the guy(s) underneath. It's lucky that she had a helmet on so that she didn't crack her head on what is likely a cement floor down there, but she definitely could have tweaked her neck or her back in the fall. So here's hoping for the best! Goddam that was a fall, one of the worst I ever saw on AG.
Probably not as well. Powerball he wasn't all that strong (2 goals in his only appearance), B&C and Atlasphere not that much either comparatively. Sky Track he wasn't too bad, and Swingshot he was OK. Of course, you also have to consider who he may have had to face, and also how much he may have improved physically in those two years, as we don't know if he made it through all 5 stations each time.
Haha right?! Though I'm sure she didn't sell her Olympic medals for crack like mercury Morris did with his '72 and '73 Dolphins super bowl rings. Luckily the boys chipped in and bought them back for him.
One of the last times we'll ever see Atlasphere. If my memory serves me correct it only gets used about once every 3 or 4 episodes this season and then completely goes away at the end of it.
@@jarellano1014 They also seemed themselves not knowing what to do about it. At the beginning it was 1 point per score, later 3, here 2. I never liked it either.
@@JoshBruin77 Yeah, while it was physical for the people doing it, it wasn't particularly exciting to watch. It wasn't nearly as exciting as things like Powerball, Break Through & Conqour, and the like.
@@Grovesie35 Exactly! Falls like this feels like the exact kind of thing that showrunners would expect and lawyers would draw up paperwork to have people sign away liability for.
"Contenders, ready! Gladiators, ready!"
I loved hearing those words when I watched this show as a kid! Wow the 90's was the best time in the world to be a kid!
If I were Turbo, I'd have been mad to. Turbo got a shot to the face and then Jerry DDT'd him.
I remember watching this show when I was little. I loved it. Thank you for the videos!!!

Omg - Tank talks! 😂😂😂
I’m here after watching the Netflix documentary. If I ever argue with anyone again I’m only settling it by jousting with oversized q tips 😂

Laser is back and Tank, who filled in for him, did a great job on the last episode!!!
In Whiplash, Sabre quickly learned from his mistake and demonstrated the famous term. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.
Mark Muse and Jerry Hill were fantastic in the Conquer Portion of Breakthrough and Conquer, and the Wall. Also, Mark Muse was amazing in Whiplash, and the Men's Eliminator.
man I miss this show wish they would come back
Turbo dominating as usual. No surprise there! 👍🏻

Heel Turbo is the best Turbo.

Was it roids?
I miss Malibu in these seasons.
Turbo got beat with a purse by Harriet Winslow….

Chris and Terry are the new trainers
The incredible thing was to join the fan club you had to MAIL A LETTER IN. How much times have changed!
Had the Turbo action figure. 😂
Used to make him wretle my WWF action figures. Lol
Did he win the World Wrestling Federation Championship? 😃
@@TehJew22 He was always in the title matches! Turbo and Nitro were both tough, but Bret Hart usually had the edge, unless I wanted to have a heel championship run. Then Turbo or Nitro would win, talk smack, and beat everyone until Bret had is "redemption story." 🤣
It's a shame that Malibu wasn't on the show longer. He was so funny and had the greatest hair. So feathered, so lethal.
He was a child of mother nature.
Elizabeth Albright was awesome in Atlasphere, Whiplash, and the Women's Eliminator.
She dominated atlasphere better than anyone I've seen. A natural at that one.
Jerry Hill not looking sportsmanlike AT ALL during Breakthrough and Conquer. I suppose he didn’t enjoy getting smashed by Turbo and decided to showboat after Hawk lost on his own in Conquer.
Ice is Unbreakable!!!
So glad she came back!!!
I rather have her over Diamond any time.
Ice is almost 60 and she’s even hotter now than she was back in the 90s.
That woman looks incredible nowadays absolutely stunning
I remember those days those days were awesome I missed American Gladiators I wish they were back

It was uncalled for what Jerry did.
almost looked like he unintentionally locked in a guillotine choke
Idk. Turbo lifted him up and drove him up and to the ground OUT of bounds. You do that in football or rugby, rugby league you get penalized. Turbo is just as much at fault
@@Echothraxa lot of those dudes had roid rage & tried to hurt contestants for real

Thumbnail starts at 5:17
Thank you!
Don't make Turbo mad.
American Gladiator would honestly work today if it’s given a chance
minus the rampant steroid use prolly not.
Yep. Physical 100 exists...and we love it. Dudes definitely on steroids.
Lol I love how the contestants are under 6ft and 200lbs going against men that clearly aren't.
turbo was the bully in highschool.. and middle school and elementary school.
LOL and probably college..so just a bully. Then he went to do this.
6:33 He was like a cyborg without the implants!!!! :(
Bad Turbo...oh bad
5:22
6:33 what a stare
27:24 you are the man
Go Laser!
How was that bad jerry hill had a hold of turbo's neck so turbo had every right to react that way
That fight came close, but I thought that the gladiator could not move past the area between the goal line and the 5-yard line.
He can't initiate contact before the 5 yard line, but he is allowed to drive the contender back once they've crossed it.
Amazing these smaller guys and gals can compete with the big guys. Bigger doesn't mean it's a for sure win!
Yup, that's the premise of the show, and why the showrunners always encouraged the sportsmanship that they did, because the contestants are almost always at size disadvantage and sometimes at a numbers disadvantage, depending on the event.
That was one crazy fall that Ruth Morris took off of that Spinning Cylinder.
Hopefully, she’ll be back in the Tournament Brackets
She did and was the #6 seed.
Damn, that fall Ruth took in the Eliminator was rough. Not only did she fall off of one cylinder and bounce off of the other, but it looked like she missed the floor mats entirely. Honestly, it's a good thing the contenders wear headgear so they don't crack their skulls.
Yeah, it looks like she missed pretty much everything, the pad you land on and the push pads held by the guy(s) underneath. It's lucky that she had a helmet on so that she didn't crack her head on what is likely a cement floor down there, but she definitely could have tweaked her neck or her back in the fall. So here's hoping for the best! Goddam that was a fall, one of the worst I ever saw on AG.
Jerry Hill… in the case of young Tyreke… you are the father!!!!
If anyone wonders why Turbo had to be pulled away, it’s because after Breakthrough, one of the Contenders tried to Conquer him out of bounds.
Your the real hero
Also, roid rage.
@@BulletMan4 hero how? That comment made no sense
@@calvindubose1368 Because it was an Idiotic comment to begin with!
@@Revengetoyourliver right
Turbo was the one with short fuse
4:57 that look!
Crazy how a Contender named Mark Muse tried out for AG 2 times prior before the 3rd was the Charm.
Wonder how he would’ve done in Season 3 or 4.
Probably not as well. Powerball he wasn't all that strong (2 goals in his only appearance), B&C and Atlasphere not that much either comparatively. Sky Track he wasn't too bad, and Swingshot he was OK. Of course, you also have to consider who he may have had to face, and also how much he may have improved physically in those two years, as we don't know if he made it through all 5 stations each time.
Ah turbo the thug strikes again.
Jerry Hill Doing a little cabbage patching lol
Turbo could be a real turd at times. I'd probably be holding on too if I'm getting picked up and slammed into the ground by someone!
Turbo had a really bad attitude at times, for sure.
Hawk was smart
Wow, Wow, Wow.
American Gladiators, all that I can say is Wow, Wow,Wow.
Hawk is the most flaccid. Turbo tried to be more flaccid but nobody is more flaccid than Hawk.
Jerry Hill and Mark Muse didn't give up
28:50 Pride almost came before a fall there at 28:51!!! :P
Ruth Morris, nickname "Mercury", it's a damn shame she appeared after Csonka left the show.
Haha right?! Though I'm sure she didn't sell her Olympic medals for crack like mercury Morris did with his '72 and '73 Dolphins super bowl rings. Luckily the boys chipped in and bought them back for him.
Turbo besides Viper always seemed like the mean Gladiator.🤔
He definitely was!
@@JoshBruin77no it's just that he doesn't take any bull shit from anyone.
Ice was really not a master jouster. Or is it joustress?
One of the last times we'll ever see Atlasphere. If my memory serves me correct it only gets used about once every 3 or 4 episodes this season and then completely goes away at the end of it.
I Hated Atlas.....😴😴😴
@@jarellano1014 They also seemed themselves not knowing what to do about it. At the beginning it was 1 point per score, later 3, here 2. I never liked it either.
The removal of the Atlasphere was no big loss...
@@JoshBruin77 Yeah, while it was physical for the people doing it, it wasn't particularly exciting to watch. It wasn't nearly as exciting as things like Powerball, Break Through & Conqour, and the like.
@@LucianDevine agreed, my friend.
Nothing wrong with this. Just like Arnold Schwarzenegger, he thought it was “Turbo Time” in the late 90s, but it wasn’t.
Ice is surprisingly flaccid in the early episodes, before she lost her big hair.
nice
5:44
Zap with no navel cover on Hang Tough looking for a dry hump. So flaccid.
Go Tank
Wow
I always found it disappointing of how bad a sport some of the gladiators were.
Turbo has a roid rage problem.
Ruth was real good at all the games
What is this American Gladiators? - Dexter Reed (Good Burger)
walt disney
I loved seeing Turbo's cocky arrogant ass lose!!
0:41 The intro was scary. :(
Turbo is to ignorant that's why I'm not a fan of him anymore
All I’m sayin is that woman who fell on the floor during the eliminator better get paid big time in a settlement
You really think they didn't have her sign a waver?
@@Grovesie35 Exactly! Falls like this feels like the exact kind of thing that showrunners would expect and lawyers would draw up paperwork to have people sign away liability for.
Steroids duh
Cocaine saber lost
Turbo, has a lot of roid rage.
