Surprised. But it shows the show still has managed to capture the nostalgia enough.

I'm almost certain season 2 getting in to air is a no brainer, but I unfortunately expect no higher results in the future!

Source: IMDb Ratings by episode (as of 04/21/2026)

For the men, my list would be following:

* Legend+Nitro

* Steel+Viper

* Apollo+PHANTOM/HAMMER!

+ New, more agile/mobile male gladiator?

And for the women;

* Comet+Fire

* Fury+Sabre

* Athena+Dynamite

* DIAMOND+ELECTRO!

So there we have it! I suppose Phantom would actually do well in this! He already has had his Wall and Everest debuts, where he did show size added to that humongous reach CAN be a deadly combo! 🫣 Not to forget; Hammer has been training for this since s2!!

Electro is yet to debut, but her lightweight built is actually just ideal for this. Not about muscles. Its about traverse! Same with Diamond really. Series 4 could not be only her comeback, but a true opportunity to shine as an all-rounder!🔥

What do we all think? At the end, there are actually many valid Hang Tough-ers and many yet to be introduced to it!

Ps, my last post here for a while..

Shel and the boiz! 😎🔥

This is surprising considering how vast mixed feedback it has gotten!

If the second season gets in air, they seriously need to tweak it though. Too flashy, too much backstories, too much crowd and too little actual competitions.

I know they probably have already produced it. But they can still save it by making the right things in post production phase. Make it watchable for everyone. Not for just me.

Three hairy & humongous guys in a row!

The reboot definitely has a potential to grow to a great entertainment show.

BUT, the way the editing is done isnt just clicking it in me. The episodes are way too short for what they actually include, and there is too few actual games before The Eliminator at the end....

Add at least one more preliminary event before the Eliminator, so each contender has the equal chance at giving it a genuine go.

Dont get me wrong; the Gladiators THEMSELVES are great characters i suppose. They arent there to be joked abt. They are there to hit hard. The wrestlers also bring their background up nicely, dropping some funny promos once in a while.

While the gameplay lacks something, the graphics and gladiator introductions are fun at least. Fang's introduction before Joust is one example. IYKYK.

I dearly HOPE there will be a 2nd season commissioned, but they need still to improve massively with the editing and the length of the episodes themselves. We do need an International showdown with the UK, so hopefully they wont fumble the opportunity to expand to the greatness, although it has been a slight miss so far!

So excited. hope they absolutely smash this!

So thrilled abt this! 🔥🔥

Season 1 and 2 included. Im psyched we legally have a way to watch this show now. We didnt get the most recent season but its a start! A nice surprise for us the day that the new American Gladiators starts as well!

Who you're placing your bets on?! 😁

From the gladiators' socials.

Wishing the show all the best. Hopefully we get an overseas smackdown in the future 👀👀

The new event absolutely rocks in the UK, and i hope it does here as well!

These two behemoths will be tough to beat!
