Wall of Gladiators
The Wall of Gladiators formed the last obstacle prior to the finish line during the first two seasons of the original American Gladiators. Four paper doors were placed side by side and Gladiators with blocking pads were stationed behind some of the doors. During the first half of Season 1, two Gladiators were placed behind the doors, one per lane, giving both contenders a 50% chance of running into a Gladiator. From the second half of Season 1 until the end of Season 2 when the obstacle was retired, three Gladiators were placed behind the doors, leaving only one door open. This meant that one lane had a 50% chance of running into a Gladiator, while the other had a 100% chance.
