So, yes this certainly was a thing that existed!
A couple of factoids:
*There was a Battle Dome invasion of WCW and WCW in turn invaded Battle Dome. Due to Battle Dome being syndicated some of the Battle Dome episodes featuring WCW talent did not air until long after the WWF purchased them.
*A pre-fame Terry Crews appeared on the show as T-Money.

I used to watch it Saturday night waiting for Nitro to start

I remember this show. For some reason my UPN affiliate aired this at 11 p.m. on Saturdays, which I never understood. It later aired at 11 a.m., which made more sense. I watched it from time to time. I remember how the announcers tried to sell it off as real, like if it was supposed to be a jab at wrestling, when the show had characters on it. It was no different from watching American Gladiators or Blade Warriors, which I feel like I am one of the few who actually remembers that show.

Watched a few episodes but they all seemed focused on T Money and this giant rotating tube with holes in it both of which sucked. Basically I went in hoping for a (then) modern American Gladiators but got a Russo'd version.

I remember liking the voodoo guy. I also remember somebody legit breaking their arm, and then showing endless replays of it.

The thing is, I can't trust my memories of this show because my mind has most assuredly consolidated it with WMAC Masters...

Due to Battle Dome being syndicated some of the Battle Dome episodes featuring WCW talent did not air until long after the WWF purchased them. One of two memories I have of this show is Rick Steiner wearing sunglasses indoors, sitting in the front row, holding a sign up that said "Fairy Dome." I love the idea of the dogface gremlin hating an entity so much he makes a sign about it.

Does anybody remember how at some point, Perfect 10 models (And I mean the magazine Perfect 10) would appear on the show and they represented the contestants based on the color, because each of them wore red, blue and yellow, and the models wore bikinis of the respective colors? Those women were hot, yes, but I guess the creators needed some hot models to get more ratings, as if the other women weren't hot already. I mean, seriously, the Dahm triplets were on the show for crying out loud.

Yes,This was the period when everyone had to have a hot chick including the contestants.I seem to remember there being a hillbilly character who couldn't keep his hands off the models.

I'm sure I watched one episode where a guy who was like a knock off of Mankind swallowed a key or something.

Battle Dome was to American Gladiators as Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters From Beverly Hills was to Power Rangers.
In other words it was a crappy, cheap rip-off and I loved it.

Its sorta ironic with them having the WCW crossover as over here it ended up being the program that replaced WCW worldwide.
But truth be told I remember watching a few episodes and I thought it was rubbish but the channel that it aired on in NZ would conveniently have it on just before the late night soft porn so I would tape it so I could watch the soft porn instead.

How could you not love a show were the most popular event was a man trying to get to the top of a motorized merry go round with the warrior being known for giving the contestant who failed a wedgie.
Oh yeah, Bobbi Brown as the secretary who for some reason came out half the time in only a towel. God I miss cheesy syndicated programming like this. Highlight of the show.
Does anyone else remember a show called Knights and Warriors?

I watched it pretty regularly. The first couple weeks I saw it as a Gladiators knock off with a wrestling character theme to it. I wound up enjoying it as it progressed, though. Seems like as it went on, the characters started getting storylines. I'm sure someone on the WCW writing committee probably thought an invasion would be the second coming of n w o.

I'll never forget when Buff Bagwell called them "Battle Dome queers." Such a SICK BURN.
