Calling all flat tops! The (OG) American Gladiators Appreciation Thread

[Kiyoshi-Dono]

I remember that game where you had to get the balls in the cylinder and one breh was Barry Sanders juking..
I think it was Nitro that got hella mad..
And picked breh up and bodied the shyt out of him
Or when they used to do the Joust
You could tell some of those Gladiators used to get hella pissed when they met somebody who wasn’t afraid to give them work
Edit:
Op posted breh

I wouldn’t doubt it
It was one episode...
Trying to find it on YouTube but I just remember Nitro or it could have been somebody else..
Got real mad and slammed a breh after the whistle
It was always some fukkery when Real athletes came on and embarrassed the Gladitors..
Dudes/Ladies(especially Siren deaf ass)would continue when they were getting work
Glad I saw this thread

Did anybody watch the docu-series on Netflix? It was pretty good. That one director dude was a lifelong JBO scumbag.

He said he dated Diamond. They asked her, and she was:


“Maybe we sat at the same table in the lunch room once.”

Let's see who's a REAL flat top here. AG came out in '89, so you have to be at least 35 to have any real memories of it. For you young brehs, AG was the predecessor to American Ninja Warrior, only I don't think ANW had a bunch of people chasing after you.

I forgot how much fun this cheesy-ass show was. They had a pretty decent number of black Gladiators over the years. Blaze was my hero because she ALWAYS always getting disqualified for horse collaring bytches or shooting them in the head in Assault. Like she was getting reparations and shyt. #ForTheAncestors

Who remembers Wesley "2 Scoops" Berry - the one who was always 8000% and shyt? Some people said he went to prison for robbery. Bullshyt! He could jump over a car, dammit!



(We won't even mention the remake that was the remake w/Hulk Hogan and Laila Ali. That shyt was tragic.)

Flabby & Sick Colonel

Reporting to duty


I used to watch this shyt HEAVY as a kid

I always wanted to try the obstacle course, especially when they got to the shooting part.

Those fit women.

I swear Malibu was in more episodes
Yeah those later years were big trash
Surprised they didn’t have Hawk overly enthusiastic ass in this more
My nikka Nitro was a menace but thug tears for real

 

[En Sabah Nur]

The surprising thing from the documentary

I was thinking the exact same thing. I remember him the most out of all of them, but find out he was only in the first 13 episodes ??

Another really surprising thing to me is Ice was
the ONLY one of the chicks that was a lesbian.

That story and animation of Zap squeezing one of them (forgot who) with her thighs until he passed out, and Laser and Nitro scrappin in the middle of the street

Wow, Tower

You had to be alive to appreciate this as a young kid. Always rooted for the breh and the sista whenever they had featured scenes.

 

[DreadBrown]

I never knew this existed before seeing the doc but Nitro and Laser definitely not from harlem
