You heard right. American Gladiators is back.  Word on the street is the greased-up men and permed she-males are coming out of hiding for an amped-up, 21st century version of the 1989 original series.
Nitro, Turbo, Ice, Laser,  Blaze, Diamond, Gold, Thunder, Lace and the rest of the muscle-headed crew probably won’t return, but a whole new slew of beefy bodybuilders will be joining NBC this year for at least six new episodes. No news on challenge or show updates yet, but NBC’s website states that they are currently casting for the series.
The original show, which aired from 1989-1996, was based on gladiator-style battles including the wall, joust, and unforgettable “eliminator”. We’re sure the new version will be even more ridiculous. If you’re huge, buff and cheesy, follow the below link for casting info.
