Yes, this is what I was thinking, too. I grew up on Power Rangers. I also read that the actor who played Billy, David Yost, was treated unfairly because he was gay. After Yost left the show, he attempted to change his sexual orientation with conversion therapy for two years. Eventually, he had a nervous breakdown that resulted in his psychiatric hospitalization for five weeks. After he checked out, he moved to Mexico for a year and eventually accepted his sexuality.

I remember being in absolute awe of the gladiators when I was a kid. I'd watch on that little 18" tube TV and on that tiny TV they looked like giants. I was awestruck every episode and glued to the TV. I wanted the toys so I could be a gladiator, every kid did. Now I think of the money they must have made from the show itself, merchandise, live promotions and every other angle they pushed and it breaks my heart knowing that my childhood heroes were treated so damn poorly. Those men and women kept a generation engaged and entertained and got us all outside and in the gym striving to be healthy. They deserve so much more than they were given. They WERE the show. I don't remember anyone that cared about the contestants. I can't name a single one, but I still remember every single one of the gladiators.

@yaboi7253 Месяц назад

Honestly bro you branching out from football is cool. I always appreciate your hard work and the takes you give in things. I know some people may only want you to cover football centric stories, but I'm on board with you branching into whatever else you feel like would make a good video. I know you'll do right by whatever or whoever you cover. I feel like it's an untapped opportunity for you to rake in more views. Us in the core audience will be here watching and so will more people.

I know this isn't the same sport, but I'm reminded of when Detroit Lions legend Calvin Johnson (aka Megatron) retired. He had some jabs for both the Lions team and the league as a whole. He accused the Lions brass of constantly pressuing team doctors to clear players for action that they knew weren't healthy yet. Calvin placed almost all of the blame on the team, rather than the medical staff. And he accused the league of not giving a sh1t about player safety, well-being, or longevity, despite all their virtue-signaling about supposed high-tech protective gear, concussion research, etc. He said the league treats players like disposable pawns.

I had a hugest childhood crush on Sunny and Zap, So to hear that this is what they went through is really upsetting to me. This was the show that convinced me that the general Idea floating around during that time that women were weak was flawed and that given the chance they could out shine a lot of men at the same tasks and sports. I dare say it help shaped my world view on equality and equity. There were days other dudes would temporarily convince me that my beliefs were wrong and make me question why I believed it, and then Id remember a clip of this show and watching not just those 2 but all the women, including some of the contestants competing for glory. I hope they know that, even if they weren't getting paid a lot, that they were helping in changing the landscape on gender equality for a lot of people.

Love your video. There's a video about Futurama that gives credence to your theory about shows becoming popular. Matt Groningen said after Futurama took off, the execs at fox, whom never had faith in the show and hated it frim the beginning started acting like they came up with everything that made the show popular. I've said it many times, execs getting involved with movies, music, or books will always make something not so bad into complete dumpsters full of diapers during the summer. Before the film Heaven's Gate, studios were mostly hands off. After the huge loss the film Heaven's Gate had, they decided to go full meddling. It eventually creeped into TV. Music got shaffted by Tipper Gore and the PMRC, while books have gotten the shaft since the printing press was invented but was wrapped up in the whole comic books are evil scare of the 40s to 60s. There are a million ideas that come to thease execs every day that always leaves me wondering how many great shows, movies, albums, or books I missed out on because some exec didn't think that it would get them a good enough bonus at the end of the quarter.

I can't imagine being dependent on steroids and pain pills while trying to perform physically. I have been on both for many years due to chronic health issues. As more and more dirt comes out about the entertainment industry from my childhood to my kids' childhoods, it is crazy how you always find out how unethical many of the owners and producers of these shows were, and how poorly they treated their best assets, the actors and athletes.

To simply say, yes it was the love and lust of greed for money and horrible business management! I remember the show, it was a rarity back then. What makes me upset is that they waited several seasons later to pay and safety for the Gladiators. I'm a huge supporter if anyone of Icons sue ALL of the former Producers for back pay and medical bills!

I used to LOVE watching American Gladiators. It was a really entertaining show. I tried to watch the remake of it several years ago but it just wasn't the same. They really could have had a long running highly watched show

Bro, this video hits hard. At the end of the day, we are human after all that want a decent respect for what we love doing..Thanks for this work, Flem!

The producers were so awesome that only one of them went on to do ANYTHING worthwhile, after. Thanks for this excellent standalone that also serves as a perfect companion piece for the documentary.

I remember watching this show as a little girl. I only watched it for Gemini, Turbo and Nitro. I was hooked 😂.

In regards to the medical, in that era only big schools might have a trainer on the sidelines for a high school football game. Having an ambulance on site was considered adequate. In my case, I did my own tape jobs. Some coaches might help you, but that was it.

Dude, that was a really well made mini documentary you made brother. I’m very impressed. I’m not sure what your background is, but you got some talent. Production, talking points etc, everything was perfect. You tell a good story my friend. Keep doing what you doing.

Bro you gotta check out the Chillin with Ice podcast; she has had so many former gladiators on the show, and have had so many stories to tell. She is such a dope ass woman, who is still shredded at 57 years old.

Yup, American Gladiators ("Hollywood" Hulk Hogan did the reboot, for a brief time) does mimic professional wrestling... no off seasons, no time off, unlike in: football, baseball, basketball, golf, ice hockey or soccer/football.
