I've taken notes on great Canadian entertainers over the years, as you see 😉.

I'm surprised they didn't show the epic Conquer ring battle with Darrell Gholar. One for the ages.

The last guy where he ripped him down. 😂. Brutal.

One of the coolest shows ever. They rebooted it but ruined it with over the top production. A problem with a lot of shows today.

"Thats why he is Nitro" Bro just took his job seriously, and seemed love it.

Man one time early in the series i saw nitro get almost knocked out cold. they had a former patriots practice squad fullback on there, and nitro got in his way in powerball. Nitro was standing upright, way too high, and got absolutely trucked. He got up and tried to finish but he was totally screwed. The other guy ran and dumped like 4 or 5 balls in on his side real quick. Ill never forget that one. Nitro is a pretty tough dude to get up from that on his own lol

The golden years of television

LOVED watching this on Saturday mornings

I liked where he kicked the cone high in the air and said the F word after the conquer ring with Golar. I also liked the one where Nitro grabs a contenders front face helmet guard on the joust and pushes them off. I thought I remember that.

This old show was the bomb.. why there not shows like this anymore is crazy

Ninja Warrior is easily the closest we have in spirit. It's like Gladiators without the combat element. It's a better designed show, for what it is, than Gladiators was, but I miss the old element.

I went to tryouts for this, and they angled the challenges for smaller, agile players so in the show, the contenders were always at a power deficit to make the Gladiators look more massive.

Not called losing his cool,called sore loser....there's a difference

" I thought I was completley fair and legal. Didn't you guys?'" Sounds like a cop

Rhe 80s were a beautiful thing

I guess my memories and impressions at the time were decidedly naive and laughable at that time. Never considered steroids I tended to root for the competitors Never considered it to be fixed or compromised in any way The gladiators were well-placed insofar that scoring points was kinda indicative of the players' skill and maybe, will to win... Nitro was formidable and what made him appealing was that he exhibited competitiveness that anyone who enjoyed competitive sports could relate to. He was def. a role model of sorts in that regard.

Used to love this show
