About American Gladiators
Celebrating the everyday, true American heroes -- weekend warriors who excel and
take pride in their physical fitness -- contestants will go up against the
show's gladiators -- charismatic and eclectic warriors -- in the ultimate David
& Goliath battle. As in MGM's traditional "American Gladiators"
franchise, everyday amateur athletes compete against action stars and stunt
professionals in contests of physical strength and endurance. The series will
include such classic events as The Joust, The Wall, Hang Tough and the
Eliminator. The eight new gladiators (four men and four women) are
action-adventure stars ready to take down the everyday challengers with hard
knocks and explosive attitudes. Contestants, both male and female, will also be
extremely fit but as an added bonus, will also have the chance to train for the
match, displaying their physicality, coordination and cunning to viewers in
advance of the competition. Each challenger will also have a unique story to
tell -- and a compelling reason why they need to win. These unsung heroes
combine brawn and heart in their effort to be worthy competitors, which the
audience can cheer for against the villainous gladiators.
