seems American Glads is going with Vertigo with the vertigo poles spotted outside the LA Sports Arena, also expect to see Whiplash and/or Atlaspheres to build up their game pool before it seems, a new International Gladiators series vs Australia and the US.

I’d love to see Atlasphere and Whiplash, personally.

Atlasphere definitely needs to come back, especially if they are moving into a bigger arena. I’d love to see Pole Axe, but then they would probably make the players wear safety harnesses, which would make it no fun. Sumo Ball looks like fun, too.

On a side note, I’d like to see a permanent ticker at the top or bottom of the screen, like what you would see on Sunday Night Football.

Hmm, not really - Vertigo was invented in the UK, but we had Skytrak as well. It was different to the US one though, it was in a figure of eight and had Glads chasing contestants.

I’m so glad I waited to post my response b/c if David’s fact about the Sports Arena is true, that eliminates my major concern. That pool really shrunk the rest of the games which is a shame. It makes tons of sense to be there since the Clippers aren’t there anymore and whatnot.

I second Atlasphere and I’d add a NORMAL Assault. If I could add some of the international games (limiting myself only to the ones mentioned on the link…there are TONS more I’d consider) I’d add Pendulum and Suspension Bridge. Pendulum was a favorite when I watched the International tourneys. Suspension Bridge would be easy because you can take the bridge for Hit and Run and get different shaped pugil sticks.

As a side note, I’ve never seen Vertigo before until today thanks to YouTube. Looks weird….I like it. You could say it’s the world’s response to Skytrack. But think about how the male gladiators here would STRUGGLE with this, BIG TIME. Also, I know I’ve said this offline, but I think no matter what country, all male Gladiators named Wolf are my collective heroes and should be yours too.

Do not bring back Atlosphere, it was lame, no contact, and low scoring.

The event I really want to come back is Whiplash, which was around for the tail end of AG’s original run.

As far as a second season is concerned, more events, less talking, and clean up the eliminator (no purpose to the barrel roll and no penalty for falling off the handbike).

Outside of that, all is well

The two events I’d like to see back? Swingshot and Atlasphere

and there is some news on the AG front- the tapings start April 8th, and they’re getting a new set- They’re going to be in an actual arena this time (LA Sports Arena) so it will be larger than season 1..
