I love how Nightshade seemed quite austere when she was introduced to the series, but the more you see of her interviews post-match and in those little cutaways she comes across as a genuinely sweet person and a very good sport.
@User-3O3 It was brilliant 😂 I lost my voice after because I was shouting and cheering so much. If you get the chance to go and watch the new ones then you should go ☺️
The beginning of the end for Shadow, clearly his pupils are dilated here and he looks blown up (out of breath and sweating profusely) before the events even start. Still, they should have HELPED him get clean and helped him to come back when he'd gone through rehab. I hope he gets invited to future reunions.
It's unlikely, he's currently in prison for his role in beating, blackmailing and holding a man hostage as part of a gang of 6. I hadnt seen the show since I was a kid so looked him up after reading your comment! He's had a rough run of it.
It’s sad seeing both Shadow and Warrior in Pyramid, knowing that the two of them would later fall into a life of crime. They were such great warriors but unfortunately both fell on their swords ⚔️
Paul Beswick later became a professional wrestler on the British independent circuit. He appeared on the Transatlantic Wrestling Challenge on ITV Meridian and later ITV2.
Ian will go down in history as the only competitor to beat Shadow at Duel and the only competitor to beat Saracen at Hang Tough, and both in the same night!!!
Saracen always seemed to be a good sport, in it for the contest but also the fun. I'm of the opinion that he knew Ian was gonna get to the platform and just wanted to take him down for the fun of it, knowing it'd be a 10 point game regardless. xD
15:15, one of The Most Iconic Moments in Gladiators History happened 30 Years ago Today!, The Equivalent of Brock Lesnar Breaking The Undertaker's Wrestlemania Streak nearly 20 years later!
LOL at Ian attempting to psyche out the BEZ MAN before the eliminator, absolute rookie mistake. The BEZ MAN was right to wave him "bye bye" after Ian cheated in Hit and Run and Hang Tough to even get close to the BEZ MAN before getting absolutely smoked in the eliminator. The BEZ MAN is a true athlete, plays hard and fair and always shows respect and plays by the rules. Complete contender.
The Gladiator Saracen actually went back onto his own platform in Hang Tough resulting in his DQ against Ian so Ian deserved the 10 points, but Ian did deserve to lose half of his points on Hit & Run though
@@Will-h7hNo Ian did not cheat in Hang tough because Sacacen went back to his platform to let Ian win the10 ponts in Hang tough so my statement still stands on that
@@patcrites5274 Ian was getting desperate to beat the BEZ MAN, even if he wasn't cheating on purpose, he did kick Saracen away so was lucky to not get disqualified.
Paul reminds me of Benny Hill for some reason lol 😂😂😂 I was expecting that funny Benny Hill theme music to start playing when he began his events hahahaha
I noticed that John Anderson still called out the score normally after Ian grabbed onto the demolition ball, then promptly penalized him once the event was over. I wonder why he stopped calling out the score after each successful crossing after this series.
@@bentheswitchsportsfan06 hmm. That would have been interesting. You would have scored every time like in powerball, swingshot, and or hit and run. Speed, luck, and perfection.
That had to be the Gladiators' worst ever non-international day. They lost or drew everything apart from the Men's Powerball, the Zodiac against Katie on Hang Tough and Falcon on Pyramid.
I've seen WORSE KICKING than what Ian did, so I believe SACAREN was rightfully DISQUALIFIED For Returning To His Platform which I'm sure was an accident But it was the right decision to give Ian 10 POINTS
11:46 damn that was a BRUTAL beating Lightning received at the hands of Katie 😮 I was surprised she lost this Heat tbh. I thought she was going far after that display.
17:01 "FIGHT DAMNIT!" I love Shadow, LOL. What a waste for Shadow and Saracen's records to end by such a bland charisma vaccum who didn't even make it past the first round. All the Glads had an off day here.
I think the contenders boob popped out during pyramid. Hoping it’s just a video compression thing but I swear some of the gladiators had a habit of pulling on the contenders clothes
In this 3rd season it seems most the gladiators are struggling on duel, I think the platforms must be further apart, as they seem to be having to reach over to get to the contestants.
12:06 This has to be the worst and most embarrassing performance by a female Gladiator on any event in the history of the show! It was more like Katie was the Gladiator and Lightning the contender the way she flaps the pugil stick around. Pathetic.
@@BroskiRIP Lightning did Duel more than anyone else in Season 2(Nightshade was mainly on Suspension Bridge instead) but was never really that consistent at it, after this she only did it a few times more.
Very bad show for the gladiators. Is it just me or did the gap between the two podiums for Duel increase by quite a bit since series 2? Seems like it made it much easier for the contestants to lean back and stay out of range
I think they did that to also test the Contenders & Gladiators intelligence, as if they make a Bad Move they would risk Over-Balancing & Stepping Across

The awkward moment where shadow goes to congratulate Ian but he's not aware and just jumps off lol
Yeah, I felt for Shadow there. Just had his win streak broken, took it as a good sport and was left hanging by his opponent.

I think is probably one of the best episodes of series 3.
Unless you enjoy seeing the Gladiators beating the contestants! :D
It was a great match. All four contenders each 30 points or more than 30. Me being from the USA, we had one contender scored a little over 70.
@@brentrogers4774 Imagine what John Anderson would've said if there was a 70 point game...

That was great. Ian tries to cheat at Hang Tough by springboarding off of the Gladiator and the Gladiator is like, "Fuck You!" Spear!
He did. Kicked out
Oh yeah well Saracen cheated by going back to his platform when they cant do that once they leave. He was the real cheat
Ian is a cock though, not taking responsibility for the swing ball game, he was read the rules.

The contenders where standing out of reach on purpose, afraid to engage.

More Gladiators gameshow on you tube please and when is gladiators gameshow back on challenge and I am missing this programme 😢
Ulrika didn’t even congratulate Katie for the 10 points on Pyramid.
Bitch.

I can see what you mean.
What an earth was going on with Duel?
Shadow was unlucky there - it seemed he was doing all the attacking moves as well
Ian should be thankful that John Anderson just docked some points. He could have disqualified him and then he would have had nothing. He got lucky.
"Made it look hard?" Fash chatting shit again that was a cruise for the BEZ MAN

Possibly the most historic moment since the attack on london during WWI

What happened with the women's powerball the only reason the score was so low was because the contestants did not go for the centre basket too often.
Don't you mean the men"s powerball, because that was 2-0, the women"s powerball was 12-11
@@patcrites5274 women's was 11-12 was it not?

Such a shame that Shadow had to be dismissed due to taking steroids which is not in the rules of the show
WAR! WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR?!
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
It looked to me like Katie missed the button on Pyramid.
Yeah I thought that as well.
I think it's a bad camera angle, the sparks wouldn't have gone off without the button receiving at least a glancing touch.
Lightning must have been having an off day
She is too small for duel.
@@Reprogrammed_By_SEGA She was actually pretty good at it in the first two series (and even got a couple of KOs), but she was a little beefier then.
All I can say is...this was not Shadow's day.
In fact he didn't have a good few weeks (as we see in the following 2 episodes.)
He was doing drugs at this time but nobody knew, when they found out he was fired from the show hence all of his bad games
Tubewings War! What was it good for?
14:05 Ian V Shadow
Surely Ian was kicking Saracen repeatedly
I know shadow got caught for steroids but surely warrior was on them too
Yes Neil, if you Google it you'll see that Warrior was indeed arrested and imprisoned over drug related issues.
They were all on roids.
Nobody gets as big as these guys without taking something. Just saying..
I don't think they all were. Wolf and Saracen seem strong but natural
Shadow was sooooooooo uncomfortable speaking to the host/in front of the camera
I think he was doing fine speaking in interviews
Ian must be the most boring contestant to grace this series… such a mood killer
Not boring at all. He knocked out Shadow and managed to win Hang Tough
@@acta739I said what I said; boring tv regardless of beating Shadow! He comes across as a right Karen..
I liked Pyramid
