Five wrestlers, including two still under contract to AEW,
have been cast in the newest version of American Gladiators
which will air on Amazon’s Prime Video.
Wardlow, Kamille, former WWE Superstar Rick Boogs, as well
as Jessie Godderz and J-Rod from OVW, will be part of the
new American Gladiators cast according to a story on The
Hollywood Reporter.
There will be a total of 16 gladiators, eight men and eight
women, picked from across the United States including
bodybuilders, pro wrestlers, former Division I athletes,
CrossFit champions and military veterans.
“The original Gladiators were iconic, so our search for the
new Gladiators had to be exhaustive. Our team went cross
country, meeting with thousands of fitness influencers and
professional athletes to find the highest caliber of
competitors,” Barry Poznick, general manager MGM
Alternative, Evolution Media and Big Fish Entertainment,
told THR. “Every Gladiator in this lineup embodies what it
means to be a modern warrior — relentless, inspiring, and
ready for the challenge of a lifetime. They are real-life
superheroes.”
WWE Superstar The Miz will be hosting the show while Rocsi
Diaz will be the sideline reporter and Chris Rose will
handle play-by-play.
