American Gladiators: The Animated series!

Bolstered by the high ratings of the re-launched American Gladiators on NBC, series owner MGM has announced plans for an animated series based on the property working along with Johnny Ferraro, owner of Flor-Jon, Films Inc (producers of the original American Gladiators series).

Wrestlemaniacs anyone??? :P

Did MGM somehow turn into DIC from 15 years ago? Seems like if there was an American Gladiators cartoon, it would have happened in the early 90's, and have been a DIC project. And I'm guessing it would have been exactly like Hulk Hogan's Rock N' Wrestling.

Irony, since the Hulkster hosts this show. I bet he'll do his own voice now, since Brad Garrett has that generic sitcom to do.

Actually I really liked it. It was A LOT Like the original. Even the same events.

Me too. Was it on tonight? Because I missed it. The only thing that disappointed me was that during the final stage, when they break through the wall, there were no gladiators on the other side. They just win when they break through. That was one of my favorite parts about the old series.

Maybe I don't like it because it is too much like the original and doesn't try anything new. That or I liked tihe original, but not enough to like this.

Agreed. I liked it pretty well.

Yeah, I'm a big fan of the original series (ESPN Classics still airs it), and I LOVE the new series. It's the same, yet different. It still has a lot of the old events, and the wholesome classic AG feel, but it's filmed differently, and they have some new events. So I highly recommend it.

Ha. This sounds awesome, it's been a while since I've seen a show based on something you should'nt make a cartoon out of:lol:

It's kind of like trying to make Ninja Warrior into a cartoon. It'd be hilarious, but for all the wrong reasons. :P

I enjoy the new American Gladiators as well. Not so sure about this cartoon, though.
