Battle Dome

I think this show is great. I think it is action-packed. There is a lot of good points of the show. 1. There are many unusual matches like trying beat a guy up before he pushes you into fire 2. There are many different fighters who are great and 3. There are different champions everytime. If you have the time watch the whole. It will be worthwhile to.

Battle Dome is a very entertaining program which is a little bit like "Gladiators" (or "American Gladiators" for Americans) and pro-wrestling mixed together. The show has amateur athletes taking on different challenges against the shows 'gladiators'. My favourite 'warrior' is The Commander. The pro wrestling like shenanigans come from the story lines put into each episode, and although some on them are a little cheesy it's all in good fun. One of my only complaints with the show would be that one of the commentator has an awful voice! Could be for someone who thinks 'normal' sports are boring and pro wrestling is too 'violent' Try it and you just might like it!

Highly entertaining show.

I love this show, I don't miss an episode. Christian Boeving "The Commander" is a beautiful, strong, god of sexiness. I would suggest that anybody who liked American Gladiators watch this. A shoe could probably act better than some of the cast, though.

If you're looking for fair competition between gladiators and normal guys, this is not the place. And it shouldn't be. BattleDome pits juiced up thugs against guys who do not stand a chance, just so we as viewers get to watch some butt get kicked.

Honestly, there's nothing like watching Bubba King kick some poor sap repeatedly in the head, and nothing's sexier than Karen Ko making kissyface for the camera.

But what makes this show head and shoulders above anything similar, besides the extreme competition that resulted in a warrior's leg being broken LIVE ON TV, are the commentators. Scott Farrell is simply brilliant. His absurdist observations and commentary is unbelievably entertaining. Take this classic one-liner that Farrell spouted during an event, "I was going to order some spaghetti, and then my foot fell asleep." You'd think he was Samuel Beckett.

BattleDome is beautiful women, fierce beat-downs, and cartoonish plots all rolled into one television extravaganza.

Be warned, however: the first season beats the second hands down. During the second season, they virtually eliminated the pro wrestling-like antics in favor of a more American Gladiators-styled approach. They also tamed down the events due to all of the injuries in the first season. Don't waste your time with the second season.

oh my, the first time i saw this, i thought: "hey, American Gladiators came back from the dead...", but it's a bit better ( at least there are the Dahm triplets ). But the "acting" is horrible ( just like the "WMAC Masters" (1995) ).
