Everyone remembers Eunice, but Kerryn was awesome too. She usually dominated Powerball but I think the glads focused on her because of that in the final. It was ridiculously close on the eliminator and could've gone either way, with both of them failing the travelator. Kerryn would go on to beat Eunice in the ashes I believe. Both of them are stand out contenders across the shows entire run.

What a fantastic season! So many dramatic moments all throughout, and this Grand Final was no exception! Shadow was clearly shaken up by that tackle. He could barely form sentences in that interview.

And when you all are watching this grand final of the 3rd series 1994, on the 4th event, Powerball Sam Codjoe had picked up an injury from his neck when a gladiator, Shadow hooked him with his arm with a terrible tackle, and if he couldn't compete Duel and the Eliminator, then there would be a substitute contender that he would be replaced by .... Phil Campbell (Salesman from Lee-on-Solent, Gosport, Hampshire) as a stand by who was beaten by Sam in the Semi finals.

I keep hearing they're bringing Gladiators back! I hope so. They need to keep the fun/playful yet slightly grand elements from it with focus on good sportsmanship.

John Anderson led the auditions, which took place in a sports hall. I actually started very well, I was one of the fastest on a run, did well in some throwing things etc, but I hate going on my head and they made us do forward & backward rolls for ages, which I was very slow at. Felt like a weird reason not to make the cut, can't think of any events that need you to do loads of forward rolls. Anyway, I was surrounded by pro rugby players, there was a kick-boxing champion and pro athletes. One guy ran up a wall and flipped off it at the end of our run... It was at that point I knew I'd need a miracle to get through. Also, I'm 5'6, but was incredibly strong as training all the time and very fast, but I notice no male contenders in the '94 series seem to be that short, I think Sam was 5'8, and then generally 5'11 to 6'2. Females 5'6 to 5'8, with the tallest around 5'10 and shortest I think 5'3... If only I'd been a woman 😉

One of the few Gladiator final's I can't really complain about the winners as both deserved to win their respective finals, Eunice, one of the best female contestants they've ever had on the show and one of the biggest characters, she reappeared quite a lot after this on Gladiator specials and as a coach in season 5 and went on to get stunt work in film I believe. She was head and shoulders above any other woman during this season. With the male side, sad to see Sam go out like that (poor guy had three injuries in each round) and was a bit of a character and I felt bad for the guy replacing him as he didn't want to be there, and overall Paul was the best out of the Men's side and deserved it overall, can't complain.

Ice debuted back in the American version's second season, and this was her fourth year with the show (she was absent from the series' fourth season due to a contract dispute). Nitro was one of the original American Gladiators, initially leaving the show after season three due to a contract dispute (some of the Gladiators wanted a share of the merchandising revenue, which the producers refused, so they left), but he came back for the show's sixth season in an attempt to reverse declining ratings on the condition that he be an announcer for what ended up being the show's final year.

The show made its official debut in weekly first-run syndication on September 9, 1989 with another Pro 🏈 Hall of Famer Joe Theismann and former New York Jets player and former NBC Sports commentator Mike Adamle (who later had an ill-fated 🏃 with WWE and later became sports director at WMAQ-TV in Chicago) as hosts for the first half, but by 1990, Adamle was promoted to main host shortly after the show became popular, and remained there for the rest of its 🏃, joined by co-hosts such as the late Todd Christensen, Larry Csonka, Lisa Malosky, John Fashanu, Daniel Lee "Nitro" Clark, Ulrika Jonsson and Kimberley Joseph.

Do u have a link for this please?

[@lemagreengreen]

Surely this is due a reboot?

[@ginger5422]

It had a reboot in 2008 but wasn’t as great and only lasted 2 seasons, it was reported that America was going to have a reboot in 2018, but that’s not happened yet.

[@sampugh5674]

Calum Smith the revival was ok but the events like Duel and Hang Tough were above water instead

[@uniquerebeljaney3639]

It wouldn't be the same.

[@TheVanillatech]

In todays world of snowflakes and health and safety warriors? NEVER happen! This generation can't even decide what gender they are let alone risk being hurt in a true competition. The feminists would be demanding glads like Jet "cover up more and stop wearing makeup" so you lose most of your male audience. This is 2020 ... a sad, dark and fucked up time to be alive compared to 1993.

[@danalong1237]

Co-host Ulrika Jonsson would give birth to her 👶 shortly after Series 3 of Gladiators 🇬🇧.

[@Kibouo]

Damn, Nightshade was as unbeatable as I remember

[@Freddie1980]

She was hard to beat for sure after all she was a top olympic heptathlete so in most events it must have been pretty easy for her going up against amateur part timers. In 1995 she picked up a bad virus and was never the same and in series 5 she lost almost all her events even getting knocked off her platform in Duel.

[@gower23]

Really should have added subtitles when Eunice was talking. Hadn't a clue what she was saying most of the time.

[@david1731048]

You should get out and about north of Watford now and again!

[@23daughters]

I was 7 when this was on TV and I genuinely thought Eunice was Scandinavian because I could barely understand what she was saying. I only found out she's a Scouser from watching these uploads on KZbin.

[@ParanormalDramaLlama]

[@StFidjnr]

13:28 uh oh the wolf man

[@rosiecarr668]

anyone know if sam's ok?

[@danielledewitt1]

Given this was in 1994 I’m sure Sam is fine.

[@Scallion_D]

Lol.

[@jbsmith8848]

He went on to become lil Wayne and had done quite well

[@davidfearis7335]

I'm sure people were thinking of to make Sam lost for words but the accident on Power-Ball was certainly not what they had in mind.

[@chrisjames5188]

Was this shadow's last show?

[@ewanellis2176]

no, he did a few international shows before he was sacked for doing drugs!!

[@mickeypotatoe3396]

My old teacher at sycamore school mrs sampey 😘ahh the memories

[@tewolde103]

If anybody will have noticed that there were contenders from the 1994 Series who had been supporting their colleagues in the audience.

[@tewolde103]

Who I can see are Mark Skipper, Nikki Wyatt, Rachel Culwick, Dean Pollen, Jo Banton, Lorraine Stanley, Lee Blackledge, Andy Riddoch, Matt Beeke at the top and from the right, Ken George with his wife, Donna.

[@BroskiRIP]

Any idea if Pauline Shirt, the girl who hung tough for 40 seconds around 1998, has any online presence? Would love to see what she's up to. She broke two vertebrae while being tugged and falling.

[@joewhitehead7774]

will you have the 95 series?

[@tewolde103]

No because Gladiators 1995 doesn't come on Challenge TV until 16th April.

[@joewhitehead7774]

ok. Thank you, then i can unsubscribe from 90sfan

[@tewolde103]

Well, that's fine, anyway then.

[@tewolde103]

And a little bit of good news, Joe Gladiators 1995 will be on Challenge TV on the 9th April, but just 1 episode, heat 1 after the Gladiators 1994 Special, The Fighting Forces.

[@joewhitehead7774]

one episode?

[@CarlAdams-m7k]

30 Years ago, The Gladiators 1994 Final Take place. And 30 years ago this happened 28:45

[@oregonwanderer]

Sam got clotheslined by a gladiator in Powerball. Thats an illegal move. At least in American Gladiators it was.

[@coordinator3039]

Tower got yellow carded by John Forsythe in a quarter final for that. Mike Whitney was sick that time

[@davidfearis7335]

Question following the Powerball Accident, did Sam try to duck underneath Shadow's arms or was Shadow going in at a dangerous height for that tackle? Like to hear what your thoughts on this subject

[@MadbutBad07]

It almost looked like a chokehold how he had his neck in the slow mo

[@danielwilliamson6180]

Shadow's drugs getting the worse of him.

[@sickpup820]

Shadow's fault completely, he went in way too high. He was fired not long after this for steroid use. (Plus he was becoming very dangerous in games)

[@patcrites5274]

@@sickpup820 I think Warrior was more dangerous that Shadow, in my opinion

[@Tubewings]

This marks the first time the Boys' Gauntlet is different--with Cobra, and later Wolf, in the second zone, and Saracen taking Shadow's place at the end.

[@STEJTHEGREATEST]

4:18 Kerryn was like, "I've just come to have a good time, because I'm against Eunice, you know????"
