Remember the good ol' days, before your weekend was hijacked by the pub. Those saturday nights when the highlight of the weekend was watching big beefy guys and gals in spandex battle it out with "Ken", a P.E teacher from Hull or "sheila", an ombudsman from shetland...
Yes indeed, GLADIATORS was the best programme EVER!!!.
Who can forget the mayhem in the indoor arena in Birmingham, and it is due to this that i have compiled my favorite "GLAD", memories...
Feel free to share yours........
1.AWOOOOOOOOOGA!, John Fashanu's battle cry that was screamed every time a commercial break was due...
2.The travellator, Me and my younger brother were constantly being chastised by my parents for running up escalators the wrong way.
3.The Wolf, Be afraid of a fat man in a ladies swimsuit. The scariest thing was in fact his perm.
4.Shadow, huuuuuuuuuuuuuge black guy. Unbeatable when it came to fighting with the massive cotton buds...Unfortunatley he was into cocaine which may or may not have contributed to his mental staring eyes.
5.Ref john anderson. A firm yet fair man who coined many a phrase such as "You will go on my first whistle", and " Contender rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrready!".
6.A contender by the name of Wesley "2 scoops" jackson who could jump over a car.
7.Hunters girly hair.
If i was a gladiator i would definately be called, "The wonder weasle" as i am both wonderfull and weasley.
you missed off JET... grrrrrrrrr....
actually I remember this program as being utter rubbish yet compelling viewing (SAD)......
we invented a few games... probably pot induced at the time..
1. Shunter Hunter
2. Torch Shadow (he wouldn't exist if a torch was shined on him)
3. F**K Jet
yes sad...
There was a guy on american gladiators called "two-scoops" who could actually hurdle a moving car. but he was very american in the worst sense of the word... called two-scoops because he like two scoops at life....lol
"Contestants you will go on my first whistle"
"Gladiators you will go on my thistle whistle"
