“American Gladiators” is getting a Documentary on ESPN’s “30 for 30” series

I rarely was able to watch this show without spewing. Talk about stimulating. Their nipples alone would get me going.

Did any of these guys pose nude for photographers?

R1 not uncommon. Most people used to have to use stuff like this and Baywatch etc. to get off. Most people didn’t have cable and porn was not at our fingertips (and some just don’t like hardcore porn).

I’ve met people who said shows like this were “porn” to them and they would get off to it b

Didn't turbo come out post gladiator?

Please PLEASE let Galen “Turbo” Tomlinson be a part of it. Seeing him in the OP pic is making me reminisce about how I would watch as a kid every week solely for him.

I’m pretty sure he won’t look how he did 30 years ago r5

You may be disappointed

NOT ONE MAN OF COLOR?!

I always remember when Turbo punched that guy. He was such a mess. Really screwed up.

But I used to always wanna do that challenge. Looks like fun.

I wish, R4.

R5, he was still looking good in recent years. He went on to coach the high school volleyball team of his niece, Olympic volleyball player Carli Lloyd.

The 2008 reboot was fun but they did not cast any male eye Candy. But they sure did well with the women, who are all a million times hotter than the roided bitches on the original.

This was Galen in 2013.

R11 cool, but that was 8 years ago now...

I’d like to think (hope) that he still looks good now. My crush on him back in the day was massive.

Turbo was so hot.

Yes he was!

The reboot had a character that turns out did gay porn.

He wasn’t even the hottest

You could see Galen’s slow transition off of the roids. He started off huge, then got gradually slimmer as the show went on. That could also be part and partial to that big knee injury he got in his second season.

Blade Thompson tried out for it before his porn career, but didn't make it.

I met Nitro at a party once. He was trying to break into acting, I remember being thriled seeing him.I said "hey you are Nitro" and he shook man hand and said "Dan" He chatted me up all night, I thought I was going to get lucky but he just wanted to hook up with my very hot female co-worker. She thougth he was hot until she found out he was a Gladiator. She left and he said "story of my life." I told him would in a heart beat and he laughed, smiled grabbed my shoulder and said "If I was gay we'd be fucking by now," very modern of him.

Dan “Nitro “ Clark had a heart attack at 49.

Probably from years of roids

There’s a lot of drama here. One of the female contestants was killed by her boyfriend and deaf gladiator Siren also passed, as did gladiator Lee “Hawk” Reherman. Dan “Nitro” Clark has a very good autobiography where he details his past dealings with illegal steroids and how they gave him breasts. He also touches on almost sleeping with a trans woman when he was younger. Mike Adamle currently suffers with epilepsy and dementia, and Jim “Laser” Starr is supposedly a big time right-winger.

Steve “Tower” Henneberry had major drama with an ex- wife (his third) that included drinking, drugs, rape, insurance fraud and a suicide threat...

From a previous AG thread on DL:

“Dan Clark (nitro) and his roommate at the time Laser made a gay wrestling video for BG East before they hit it big on AG. They didnt show much, but they also appeared together in various episodes of first and ten on hbo as extras. Wouldn’t surprise me if they were bisexual, especially Nitro. He admitted doing steroids and also said he all the gladiators were having sex all the time with each other and groupies. Though Zap said most of the females were lesbian she said none of the men were gay.”

the Gladiators might not have been but the contestants were. I hooked up with a winner of it several times. He was married at the time bue being a fan of the show I knew who he was when he showed up. God damn I miss that dick. Hung huge and fucked like no one else.

^SPILL!

holy shit I can't wait for this!

as a very young gayling in the late 80s/early 90s I found my first male crushes on this show. Nitro, Laser, Turbo, Gemini and more. Most of the men were hot including the challengers

I was so mad at the reboot in 2008 which didn't generate much excitement.

The Rock's Titan Games is OK but American Gladiators needs to come back with hot bodybuilders and competitors.

Link to Nitro and Laser wrestling vid?

Always wanted to make a ski mask of Turbo's sweaty shorts.

His uniform used to be on sale on Ebay. It was pricey but I had debated getting it.

Turbo was one of my first gay fantasies

Click the link for some Getty pics of Turbo and Sabre from an episode of Family Matters. I would kill to be Urkel in these pics...

Laser and Tower, together again.

Turbo was never that hot.

r26 Not much to tell. Was pre apps. Using Gay.com I think. We chatted back and fourth. I was in Weho he was pretty far I think anaheim or riverside area. He came over one Saturday afternoon. I opened the door and knew he looked familar. I thought he must be a local news guy or something. Then I realized. HE could tell I recognized him and he went into his whole story. He was married but knew he was gay and asked if I was okay with it. Two minutes later we were making out and i was grabbing a handful of dick. It was thick and long and straight with a big head. The perfect dick. He nearly came from the blowjob. He told me he wife doesn't give him head . He wrapped it up and fucked me. He was suprisignly passonate, kissing, going slow, taking his time. After he came he laid with me making out and talking. I thought he was going to go when he turned over and was ready to fuck again. He must have been with me for four hours that first time. After that we met up regularly for year then he suddenly quit. His wife was pregnant and he decided to stop. I won't say his name but he was a white dude and won that year he was on.

Most of these hookup stories on here are bullshit.

Is Galen gay?

NO.

Hot story R35. I'll be racking my brain to figure out who it is.
