Recently, word came out that American Gladiators is being rebooted...again. By coincidence, we had this show slotted for this week in our schedule. We talk about 4 shows which tried riding the coattails of the Gladiators--Knights and Warriors, Blade Warriors, Battledome, and Wild West Showdown. There are other shows of varying success we mention at the end. Put on your Spandex and get ready to take down some larger than life figures in this installment.
