Legend asked to scrap the headstart for the contenders in the climbing wall event so Joe and Mus had the Gladiators at their heels.

Tonight’s Gladiators final (April 12) saw two contenders run up The Wall with no head start against their Gladiator opponents after Legend called for the change. Referee Mark Clattenburg agreed to the change, as did the two contenders. Joe, a contender in the final, was stripped of his head start against Apollo but managed to win the event.
