Wanted: Brooklyn Warriors. Must Be BIG, Bad and Athletic

NBC is looking for weekend warrior types that are "BIG, bad, and athletic."

That's right -- NBC has announced plans to broadcast new episodes of American Gladiators, reinventing the reality show that first aired in the early 1990s. And they're coming to Brooklyn this Saturday to find the biggest and baddest.

Because big and bad is what we DO in Brooklyn.

"If you think you have the heart, skills, and desire to COMPETE" then NBC wants to see you "at THE GLADIATOR ARENA! " (In other words, the Paerdegat Athletic Club Sports Field, 1510 Paerdegat Ave. N in Brooklyn, from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m.)

"The 'gladiator' brand is unlike anything on television today, and is event programming at its biggest and best," said Craig Plestis, NBC Entertainment's executive vice president of reality programming.

All you Brooklyn gladiators -- show 'em what you're made of! Get more details at NBC.
