[JustJack]

No doubt destined to fail but my god what an epic opening theme, could make you run through walls.

It will always be imitated but never replicated.

I think it will do really well....compared to the complete lack of quality on show now on a Saturday night.....

SKY tried it around 10 years ago and it only lasted a year, they tried to put their own mark on it but it wasn't the same

The production, the vibe, it was just a product of the 90s that you can't get back, 12 million people tuning in every Saturday night, its not something that will translate well to the vod age.

In 2023 the 'amateurs' are probably going to be bigger than the Gladiators.

So many 20-30 year olds training hard now, so I expect loads of that generation thinking it'll be a piece of piss.
The amateurs of today are probably stronger than those of the 90's where supplements and "other" products weren't so vast.
