->''Do you feel the power of the Gladiators?''\\
''Can you face the challenge of the champions?''\\
''Do you have the courage of a hero?''\\
''Do you have the will and the skill?''\\
''Do you have the speed, the strength, the heart to be a winner?''\\
''It's not for beginners.''\\
''Deep down in your soul.''\\
''Are you a [[TitleDrop Gladiator]]?''\\
--'''The lyrics for the opening theme of the show'''
