American Gladiators

American Gladiators was a television series which ran from 1989 through 1997. It was basically a game show, in which contestants who prided themselves on their physical fitness matched themselves against the program's stable of athletes in a variety of feats of strength and agility. Each week, two men competed against the male "Gladiators" and two women competed against the female "Gladiators". The male and female champions at the end of each season won $35,000.

There was a version in the United Kingdom called simply Gladiators.

Contestant Rico Constantino went on to become well-known as a professional wrestler in the WWE, under the name of "Rico".
