American Gladiators

American Gladiators is a action-sports competition series in which two male "contenders" and two female "contenders" take on the show's stable of "gladiators" in a series of events such as "The Wall," "Assault" and the final "Eliminator" obstacle course.

The first incarnation of the series aired from 1989-1996 and spawned several foreign versions of the show, most notably in the United Kingdom and Australia.

The second incarnation of the series began in 2008 and is co-hosted by multi-time Robot Chicken voice actor Hulk Hogan. This revival led to revivals of the U.K. and Australian versions of the format.
