Gladiators

I was asked what show defined my teenage years, I thought of many, then remembered Gladiators.

Watching clips now, it's totally cheesy and way over the top, but at the time, it was the highlight of the week, a formula that worked incredibly well, before we were expected to sit through mind numbing so called talent shows. 2020, and we're still being fed vacuous talent shows. Why not try the Gladiators format.

It was fun, exciting, and wasn't afraid to show the body beautiful, incredible, athletic Amazonians, and chiseled, muscle bound Adonises. I met Hawk several years back, can remember just looking at him wondering how anyone could look like that. Did they run the show for too long? Yes, they probably did.

Ripping good fun, 9/10.
