International Gladiators 1 1994 - Final

[@coordinator3039]

RIP John Anderson and Larry Thompson

[@josephd.2725]

The video game type music for each event and the Eliminator is genius... it really represents the action very well and gets you into it!

[@DeanMoxley87]

OM Days. Eunice..... I remember this, this is my childhood.

[@nicoladale1668]

No need to apologise Paul. You did very well to come second on International Gladiators.

[@STEJTHEGREATEST]

He was a warrior, alright.

[@gladfan1989]

He proved why cops are tops.

[@gerardhodgkiss6145]

Humility in defeat not so the yank but what can you expect

[@MrMatthias]

Wow! What a competition! Paul and 2-Scoops were so stinkin' close!! This is why I love the Gladiators series'!

[@becky231]

I never realised how amazing Paul was throughout his stints on gladiators until i watched them back all these years later now. The guy was an absolute powerhouse throughout both the British and International shows and still did amazing even with his nasty rib injury. He was also such a great sportsman and gentleman throughout the entire show and an amazing family man... What a guy.

[@STEJTHEGREATEST]

Ya, I didn't like him when he was beating Sam Codjoe in the final of series 3, but he was a real warrior, especially in the international event!!!!

[@lukemccann]

Jet is just ridiculously good looking

[@BroskiRIP]

It appears she was at her peak 1992-96, with 1994 a particular sweet spot.

[@iqbalm6154]

@@BroskiRIP And after she finished in Gladiators Jet co-presented You Bet! with Darren Day for one series, and was very good looking on You Bet! as well.

[@Will-h7h]

She was hot as the games mistress on Gamesmaster as well. She was hot and fucking knew it.

[@MikeWilsonBarrett]

Eunice was simply untouchable in 1994 and 1995. Absolute brilliance! by the Liverpudlian, She is fantastic. Gladiators best ever competitor!

[@johnnyballenatl]

43:24 to 44:40 were edited out for the US broadcasts (in which Mike Adamle did all the commentary solo and they used different graphics, though post-production was done at the same London Studios facility) to go straight to the Men’s Eliminator.

[@LogoMan7777]

Are you talking about the original broadcast? Because on The New TNN and ESPN Classic, I think they kept everything.

[@johnnyballenatl]

@@LogoMan7777 No, the US and UK International Gladiators broadcasts were different; remember the disclaimer: *“Portions of the program not affecting the outcome of the competition have been edited.”*

[@Will-h7h]

Paul Field completed the eliminator in 51-52 seconds with messed up ribs. Guy was a beast. Phil Norman, Mark Everett and Mark Mottram were all great contenders but Paul was a step above with how good he was on the events.

[@tourous4life]

Mark Mottram was tasty asf

[@gladfan1989]

Paul was one top cop.

[@UKenn78]

These two matchups, Eunice vs Kim and Wes vs Paul, are as close to a US vs UK showdown a la the Ashes and the Springboks as we’ll get. Next international season it’d be as close to US vs Australia as there’ll be.

[@AmaanStorm]

I remember this episode when it first aired in 1995. It was thrilling! We all knew 2Scoops was going to take it, but none of us realised just how close it was going to be with Paul literally just behind him, and he did it with an injury AND by starting 1.5 seconds behind him! He couldve taken it himself. Probably the only competition 2Scoops really. had. Superb episode of Gladiators!

[@foxmccloud7055]

10:42 Eunice is lucky she didn't get a yellow card for charging after Ice.

[@adamsergent9]

The yellow and red cards were not in use until the following series.

[@jamesthong2508]

The International Gladiators 1 grand finale was meant to be a backdoor pilot for the Russian Gladiators to have their own domestic series.

[@furbl4345]

Eunice should be disqualified right then and there 10:29 for slapping Ice and for charging back at the gladiator.

[@STEJTHEGREATEST]

16:59 Wesley's Gauntlet run was so epic, Wesley had grown taller than Fashanu by the end of it.

[@kult38]

Yep

[@Jdogg1022]

Here's another fun fact the Gladiator Malibu from the first season of AG was also in that movie as Motaro. And its even funnier that those 2 have a fight at the end of the movie.

Raw Eliminator Times Eunice Huthart - 1 minute 7.99 seconds Kim Tyler - 1 minute 16.08 seconds Wesley "Two Scoops" Berry - 50.79 seconds Paul Field - 51.3 seconds

[@richardbrown-gt3dq]

That is from Paul's whistle, not Wesley's? Was disappointed when he lost, but Berry was never going to fail that run.

[@gezzarandom]

Half a second between the men, brilliant race.

[@ghostoftheyoutubefuture2630]

2 Scoops was a machine. Paul gave it his all but was up against a rare physical specimen. Eunice looks like she's related to Tyson Fury.

[@Costas22]

The main reason why the following season Glads from the same countries as the contenders completely missed the show was the crap the Americans pulled this season. Jazz gifting Adrienne Sullivan 10 points on Suspension Bridge while Hawk and Sabre took out Wesley's opponents on Powerball. In the Semi Final Sabre hurt Phil Norman's knees with a dangerous tackle and in the Final Hawk hurt Paul Field's ribs. Not to mention that Larry the American referee handled the situation with Paul's injury very poorly. Wesley was the rightful winner and he made zero mistakes here, I won't take that away from him. But like Sachs said, on another day, Paul might have beat him.

[@ElFuego35]

Not only that, but for the Next series, they also brought in a referee from the Australian version to handle any US vs UK matchups.

[@benrous8430]

We all knew 2 scoops was going to win but my god what an incredible performance from Paul.

[@cartoonfan959]

2 scoops best contender ever

[@AlexanderTheGreight]

That Gauntlet was one of the best performances I've ever seen on Gladiators!

[@jonathanhockey9943]

Kim was unlucky on that landing in the eliminator, she didn't just have a bad landing like the commentator said, you can see some wire was hanging down and she had to avoid getting tangled in it. That was not safe, and shouldn't have been there.

[@oliverwalker7784]

Wesley jumped off the beam before the travellator so far before the end - should have been made to do it again, in which case Paul would have won!

[@gameryears5282]

Wrong! The marks on the balance beam wasn’t in place at this time on the show, therefor fair win by 2 scoops! If they had been, he would of no doubt used them so would of won anyway!

[@dagdogg]

[@theotyler8350]

[@frankiestevenson]

I think Dynamite took a dive against 2 scoops. 2 Scoops was great but it did seem like Gladiators favoured him sometimes even if he claimed they didn't

[@Costas22]

Dynamite had issues on Duel. Scoops almost beat him on Duel during the semis as well.

[@theotyler8350]

Correct me if I am wrong! But, I think Mike is from USA!

[@STEJTHEGREATEST]

17:53 Eunice had been paired with her best friend again. Seems like someone was trying to stir the pot.

[@bobomb1986]

Looking back at where Two-Scoops gained points over Paul makes you realize just how the men's eliminator was on such a knife-edge. A 12-point differential in Powerball and a fortunate win in Duel with a gladiator who had no balance on his podium? A better Duel opponent would have parried what looked like a weak attack from Wesley. You have to assume the eliminator was shown in real time and that there was only 1.5 seconds between them at the end. Who knows what would have happened if Paul had been at peak fitness for the eliminator.

[@Will-h7h]

Yeah that must have been Paul's fastest eliminator easily as he was only a few seconds behind

[@mrmacross]

I don't think the Eliminator finish was in real time. Wesley broke through the barrier at 46:36, and you can see in the background that Paul hadn't climbed to the top of the travelator platform yet. When Paul grabs the rope to swing to the barrier at 46:37, Wesley already is out of the picture. It takes about 1 second to swing across from the platform through the barrier, so if Paul was going to lose by 1.5 seconds then he'd have to be on top of the platform by the time Wesley crossed the barrier. Also, Wesley starts down the zipline at about 46:18, Paul around 46:22, so Wesley extended his lead to about 3.5 seconds. Take into further consideration that Wesley had the footspeed advantage, so it's really unlikely that Paul would've cut into Wesley's lead by running up the travelator a couple seconds faster that Wesley. I think Paul's eliminator time was probably around 53-55 seconds, which would've been his personal best. It would've beaten almost any other contender and is an amazing time for someone with cracked ribs. Still, I honestly think they shaved those couple of seconds off the video to make the final look more dramatic.

[@bobomb1986]

@@mrmacross Seems a bit devious for them to do that. Hmm. Sad.

[@Costas22]

@@bobomb1986 They've done it before. When they aired the Ashes Final of 1996, they showed Mark Everitt finishing the Eliminator right after the Aussie guy who beat him. But when we saw the show that aired on Australian tv, we saw Mark stopping before the Travellator to fix his shoelaces. Odds are Paul Field's final run here was edited as well.

[@bobomb1986]

@@Costas22 This day and age that wouldn't be allowed. Sigh. Still, that's the knife-edge the game was settled on. Imagine if he hadn't had his rib injury.

[@ashleywallace83]

I think Paul was unlucky with the event selection which favoured Wesley and would have won if Powerball - which was Wesley's best event - wasn't played. Surprised to see Skytrak in the final - would have expected Hang Tough or Pyramid.

This was the only time Dynamite didn't do his famous salute during the Gladiator introduction (in the following year, they added the salute to the title sequence). I also noticed that only Eunice and Paul wore chest protectors during the Gauntlet (speaking of Gauntlet, unofficial Yellow Card at 10:42). I wonder why even the British Glads didn't wear their chest protectors, or why they didn't have "regular" chest protectors for everyone else.

[@wschmrdr]

They never wore them in the US, except for the contenders during Assault (Danger Zone for the UK).

[@gquinn4159]

Why oh why couldn't they had put Falcon and Scorpio in Gauntlet for this final, they way they put Trojan and Saracen in. They should had left Princess Lightning on Skytrak only and not included Nightshade in this show, as she already did four shows. 4 male and 4 female glads of Wolf, Saracen, Trojan and Hunter. Plus Jet, Princess Lightning and Falcon and Scorpio. It's not fair.

[@josephd.2725]

Yes, and can't believe John Anderson poked a girl in the chest... She's wearing a protector, but come on. He could have still cautioned her, heh.
