Clearly the most worthy cause ever

Want to relive a childhood spent watching American Gladiators while simultaneously reducing the obesity induced by a childhood spent watching American Gladiators? Then get active supporting (and eventually participating in) Gladiator Assault Course Detroit, whose founders invoked the original show's "Ask A Gladiator" segment to A our Qs about their Kickstarter project

What inspired your interest in an American Gladiators revival?
What child of the '90s didn't want to be on American Gladiators? This has been waiting to happen my entire life.
Who are your top 3 AGs & why?
Malibu is by far the coolest. Gemini was a total badass too. I don't think I have a third favorite... I guess Nitro was ok, he was a little bit of a d**k.
What might the names of some Detroit Gladiators be?
Blazer, Motor, Hockey... Those are all great names.
So, as far as your course goes, how many challenges are you looking to incorporate into the Detroit arena?
As many as possible!! We are starting with the Assault Course, but could easily incorporate many of the other events.
So, what's up with this tennis ball gun?
It's an air-powered cannon capable of launching a tennis ball over 100mph. It's a seriously badass piece of machinery. For more info, check out AG, Season 2-6.
What will the qualifying events consist of?
The qualifier weeds out the weak and slow. Only the fastest qualifying competitors will be allowed to compete in one final event where we will have a promotional poster, celebrities, and glory. The qualifier is essentially a chance for all donors to run the course and be a part of American Gladiators of yore.
In terms of people contributing to the fundraising, what does the VIP rewards package include exactly? Custom spandex? Ha!
Only the "Gladiator" and "Competitor" donors will be given custom spandex. Anyone who donates even 1$ will be given a chance to run the course and a mention in the credits on our website. All competitors will be given the opportunity to participate in the main event.
Any Detroit-y field events? Climbing the Train Station Building? 7 Mile Sprint?
The Assault Course, once complete, could easily be assembled outside. We would love to have a Train Station Assault! Think Roosevelt Park Assault.
And finally, any thoughts on spandex as leisurewear? Do you partake in/recommend it?
Absolutely. Spandex means you are ready to take action at any moment. A necessary feature when you are a gladiator like us.
