    • Trivia
      During season two, when the show started becoming a hit, all ten Gladiators demanded a pay raise. When Samuel Goldwyn said no, they walked out on the production. They later reached an agreement and bumped them up, from the union minimum of $700 per episode, to $1,000 per episode.

    Awesome show!
    When I was a little kid, I used to love watching the show. I enjoyed all of the different events that they had such as Assault, the Eliminator, and The Wall. I was hoping that one day I could be on the show, but the series ended in 1997, so I guess appearing on the show won't happen. I sure hope they bring back American Gladiators, because watching reruns on TNN isn't as fun as it would be watching it today.
