I know someone who has been approached to be a Gladiator. He is a amatuer competitor who may be the strongest bodybuilder I have ever met. He also was a tremednous wrestler and did a bit of MMA a few years ago.

Hopefully, it will be more balanced.

Back in the day, the gladiators outweighed the competitors at least 50lbs,
yet they went around pounding their chests and flexing, saying how bad they
were.

Let them pick on guys their own size and see if they are true gladiators.

We absolutely should get a count of how many there are, seriously.

Ron, can you run point on the snapshots?

Also, we need to get someone counting the number of wannabees wearing any type MMA-related t-shirt.  That could be one of the funniest galleries in GetBig history.

There was one classic epiose where they had a contestant that was twice the size of any of the gladiators, some huge Finnish or Swedish bodybuilder.. in one of the games (I think powerball) it took 4 of the gladiators to slow this one guy down, while no one was guarding the second contestant who just proceeded to rack up points.  Was great, I think the European guy beat the gladiators at pretty much every game they had.

Brutal attempt at "showing off" "I'm staying at what I think is a cool hotel named the Mand-O-lay bay that I've heard of"


PM me your cell bro. A "name" helps to.  I've compiled a pretty nice list of all the getbiggers planning to be there.

I once thought of going to the O, but then the fact that

A) It is in Vegas (I hate Vegas with a passion)

B) It is way over-priced

convinced me not to go

If it were ever held in the LA area, I'd think of going. Wasn't it once in Redondo Beach or something like that?

LA over Vegas as a 'bodybuilding trip' destination?

It wouldn't be a trip for me. I live in LA. That was my point. I wouldn't travel anywhere to see a bodybuilding show, but if it were in my backyard I'd consider it (having said that, I still have never been to the Ironman).

I can't stand Vegas. I'm not a religious person at all, but I think it is hell on earth
