- Unlike their Roman counterparts, American gladiators like to dress in spandex and hit foes with foam objects.
- Brush up on your family friendly trash talking skills before dueling with a gladiator
- Subway is the sandwich shop of choice for gladiators
- You have a better shot of being a gladiator when you grow up if you only have one name and it's a word like "mayhem," "wolf" or "fury."
- Once he was done helping the Wilcox family stand up for themselves, Shep Ramsey apparently didn't go back to righting interstellar wrongs, but rather, hosting the show called American Gladiators.
- Gladiators may or may not like the game of tennis, but that doesn't mean they won't use tennis balls to defeat their opponents
- Russell Crowe is not an American Gladiator
- Gladiators may or may not like the game of tennis, but that doesn't mean they won't use yellow, fury balls to defeat their opponents

- When you beat an American gladiator, you do not get to kill him, rather you get 10 points.
- At times traffic could be really bad on the way to the old-school American Gladiators.
- Titan is always ready for a fight
- Emeril is a gladiator ref

- The Hand Bike is a great test of upper-body strength
- When you're done competing against a gladiator, expect to talk with Muhammed Ali's daughter
