Because we wrap things in the flag and America. Gladiators are normally associated with Roman times. The UK series decided not to identify it with a country designation. The UK series started in 1992. The US series began in 1989. Look that fact up on IMDB and Wikipedia.
I agree that the UK Gladiators would beat these wimps and phony Gladiators.
...But the Classic American Gladiators would run wild over the old and new UK Gladiators! Although I did enjoy watching the BETTER UK Wolf.
These new AG bucks can't hold a candle to the Classic REAL Gladiator Warriors! The women of the old AG could dominate the new "Gladiators", and probably some of the men!
Man I saw one episode of this show and thought that this is the most awesome show on television. I saw the episode with the 52 year old lady and she took some hard blows on the pyramid and the elimintator is awesome! This is gonna be my favorite show.
HELL YEAH!!! I can't beleive that some phony would even STEAL Wolf's name like that. UK's Wolf was the man, and yes I'm American. These new bucks can't hold a candle to the Classic American Gladiator Warriors or the UK's Gladiators. What a rip-off!
I still can't get over that girl using AG's Siren name. Her name should have been retired as well! WTF!
Shame on Hulk Hogan and his son who destroyed a human life. Screw this show. How dare he show his face? Where is the money they promised to help the man whose life was stolen? 8 months in prison and the son whines about it? Where is justice? Where is the man to bring justice?
The style used in American Gladiators really does suit the new UK Gladiators. Watched our new series in UK and just does not compare. The old 90's style is much more suited to the UK audience.
Yeah i'm Irish and it has been over this side of the Atlantic a long time, but the eliminator in the American Gladiators is WAY harder than the british version and i think one of the gladiators in the british version is originally from america he is called atlas
That doesn't mean where the original series is from. It means the UK version of Gladiators originates in the UK. Read sentence 2 of that Wiki page of the original UK series (or sentence 4 of the new UK series page) where it says "adaptation of the United States Game show 'American Gladiators."
Damn straight. He was a crotchety, cheating old git but we loved him for it. Makes me sad to see a cheap imitation.
Anyone see the episode where he made a little girl cry by taking a bite out of her foam hand? They got him to go back out and sign a new one for her. :D

The HORRIBLE 1-liner, obviously made up sayings all throughout this show, make it a LOSER! I can't stand the horrible and made up lame stuff some of these "contenders" say. Really really, it sucks in all honesty... cut out the crap 1-liners acting as if they are "rivaling" each other. It's that bad, for real.... wow. Make it like it used to be, with all the old stuff.... what are you thinking NBC? You need to hire someone who knows what they are doing.
it is probably the only tolerable name out of them (even if you don't know what it means), but even the way they act whenever they get introduced is ridiculous. i agree that toa is the most normal out of them, but this is just a doomed series from the start
Hellga...spelled with a double L...oh yea, thats hardcore... "I have no mercy, no pity..." hah...oh yea...beat them to death with foam.....most of them probably wouldn't last 2 seconds in a k1 ring...
I saw Venom and Siren on "The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch" last night and they are now my Gladiator heroes because they are businesswomen that just happen to be able to kick ass as Gladiators on tv!
I dun care if people think this is corny. It is freaking badass!!! I remember the original show back when I was rly small. Good to see the show come back for younger generations to love as much as we all did the original.
my mate just got picked as one of the gladiators on the australian one... his name will be outlaw he looks sort of like wolf... but not an ugly cunt hahha. went to a shooting of an episode the other day and it was awesome but it took forever! there is a guy named thunder in it and he is the biggesst man in the WORLD hahaha
This commercial is awesome lol. I saw teh premier of this on NBC, i assumed i wouldnt get hucked on it but wow, this show is amazingly addicting. i love it now haha.
Why did that black lady just lay down in the eliminator? The Asian chick was still two minutes behind and the other lady just laid their. She is an idiot.
The show sucked. The gladiators are all gay, howling wolf is a joke, mayhem looks like a tranny and it is staged. It will not be on in tw weeks. What a load of crap. I like Hulk,and Ali, but the gladiators are a joke. Save your time and watch the original. Mayhem go get a hair cut you hippie.

Militia is a map in counterstrike.
Crush is just flat out retarded.
Fury is a pokemon move which also makes it retarded.
Basically if you were to ask a 7 year old to come up with names that he thought were cool, you would get these exact same names.
