Gladiators - 1997 Celebrities vs Jockeys Special

Broadcast on December 27, 1997, the 1997 Celebrity Special in which a team of celebrities, including TV personalities Bradley Walsh and Mr Motivator,, take on a team of jockeys, including the legendary Willie Carson, for the title of celebrity Gladiators champions.
Sadly this episode isn't shown on TV anymore. This video is a compilation of clips from the episode. Around 10 minutes of footage is missing from the original broadcast (mainly the pre-game interviews and ad bumpers etc.).

I loved the original version of the gladiators. I met volcan and wolf

Classic TV

[@jamesnimarko1439]

I have managed to find the rest of Sumo Ball’s event with Warrior and Wolf’s battle which also featured Bradley Walsh. It’s over 4 minutes and 30 seconds long and the clip features on The Very Best of Wolf - Bad Behaviour (Part 2). The video starts at 31:54 and ends at 36:30.

Why cut out Warrior vs Wolf and Bradley Walsh in drag ?

[@RoyStantz]

If anybody out there has the uncut version, please upload it.

[@jamesmitchell8922]

I remember it too. Wolf was kicking Warrior's bottom during it and the referee stops it. 'Gladiators, that's enough. I'll terminate this battle because this is rubbish. You're both off. Get over here. This whole game has been a total farce! There will be no score for Sumo Ball. Go!' Wolf replied to the ref. 'You mean, I've won?' The referee just replied. 'No score, end of game.'

[@RoyStantz]

And this was the last ever appearance of Warrior.

[@coordinator3039]

And Rocket

[@RoyStantz]

Oh yes, I forgot about her. Thanks for that.

[@Johnno9989]

Yeah, shame about Warrior. I thought he was a great guy.

[@RoyStantz]

@@Johnno9989 And he had been there since the beginning.

[@coordinator3039]

Warrior was ineligible to return as a legend as was Shadow. Rocket was eligible to return since she has a clean record.
