Oh, they did. Two things really Dave. One, it was on ITV back then so the BBC cared less about it. Two, it was pre Savile revelations, so the BBC cared less about it. Let's face it, they only care now because of the cumulative pressure of all the scandals. Quote
wordsfromlee Posted April 25 Posted April 25 I'm not too bothered by it. While he had the look, I thought he was a rubbish Gladiator in general. Quote
Paid Members ReturnOfTheMack Posted April 25 Paid Members Posted April 25 Being called Giant despite at least 2 others being taller always got a grin out of me. Quote
westlondonmist Posted April 26 Posted April 26 Seems like they have their replacement Gladiator ready Quote
westlondonmist Posted Saturday at 06:05 PM Posted Saturday at 06:05 PM Went to Gladiators live, was good fun. The contenders were Amanda (s2 winner), Emily (s3 winner), Joe H (think he got to a semi in s2) and Wesley. My son likes NLW so he loved that. We had a pretty good set of Gladiators too, Nitro, Legend, Apollo, Viper, Phantom, Steel, Dynamite, Fury, Fire, Electro, Diamond and Sabre. I'd definitely do it again, it's not cheap but even in the cheap seats you have a good view as it's all central. Quote
TibBo Posted Saturday at 06:11 PM Posted Saturday at 06:11 PM (edited) Nice! Did you do the meet and greet thing? Did you get the impression there was some kayfabing going on in the events? Edited Saturday at 06:11 PM by TibBo I can’t spell nice Quote

Did you get the impression there was some kayfabing going on in the events? Meet and greet was only available with VIP tickets when I was buying. Maybe I missed it but got the impression it wasn't a thing this year. Definitely kayfabe, viper's antics meant Joe had to face less gladiators than Wesley in gauntlet, some parts in powerball looked a bit scripted. Also not the same effort at times. It's fine, it's a house show so not important and not worth getting injured for. Unsurprisingly the eliminator was slightly amended with the overhead ladder removed and an additional beam added.

As a warning foam hands are £20. We just bought a pack of 4 cheap ones for £7 as we just needed them for duel. Kids tees £28. My kid bought a medal for a tenner (he loves a medal). Quote
