Arguably the most famous Gladiator, as well as a hugely popular children's TV star, was Wolf (aka Michael Van Wijk), who remained in the show for its entire duration.

 Gladiators and Caesars, the Power of Spectacle in Ancient Rome: Exhibition (and comment on the movie 'Gladiator')   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Gladiators could be prisoners of war, slaves, condemned criminals or even volunteers, who were trained under the eye of their owner (lanista) in gladiatorial schools.
The top gladiators, charioteers and actors were folk heroes, and the power of their universal appeal was recognised and exploited by politicians and emperors such as Julius Caesar, Augustus and Nero, who used games to manipulate a sometimes volatile public, whether to pacify or reassure at times of crisis or to achieve political ends.
In between are bronze models of chariots, gladiators' tombstones, bronze and pottery figurines of gladiators and wrestlers, stone busts and statues of boxers, theatre masks of pottery and stone, a floor mosaic with a pair of gladiators, frescoes and stone reliefs showing scenes from plays and a plate with a portrait of an actor.

 Ludus Gladiatorius - Research and Study.
Throughout this essay reference to gladiators will be assuming some form of scutarii in so far as they are armed with a scutum and gladius of a similar length to their military counterpart.
It must be said however, that the author does not believe that all of the military techniques employed in massed combat are taken from the gladiators or vic verca just that there is some similarity in some of the basic principles of the swordsmanship involved.
There are a good number of times when gladiators are called upon in rebellion, riot and mischief but these seem to be more in individual fighting/brawling than in a true military capacity of some sort.

 JCS: Female Gladiators of the Ancient Roman World: Murray
Although most gladiators in the ancient Roman world were slaves, some were volunteers (auctorati) who willingly took the gladiator’s oath "to be burned, to be bound, to be beaten, to die by the sword" (uri, vinciri, uerberari, ferroque necari).
The gladiators of the school formed a troupe (familia), and received training in the art of fighting by doctores and magistri, who in all probability were former gladiators (Junkelmann, 2000).
At the press conference of the opening of the exhibit displaying the contents of a purported gladiator’s grave, Jenny Hall, the curator of early London history at the Museum of London, stated that the only other purported gladiators’ graves of which she was aware were those excavated in Trier, Germany.

 The Gladiators
The gladiators who fought in these games were mostly prisoners, slaves and criminals who trained long and hard in schools like the one Caesar built; although a few such fighters were paid volunteers.
A third kind of gladiator, the murmillo, or "fishman" (after the fish-shaped crest on his helmet), was apparently similar to a Samnite but less heavily armed.
Finally, the gladiators soberly raised their weapons toward the highest-ranking official present (usually either the emperor or munerarius, the magistrate in charge of the spectacle) all recited the phrase, "Morituri te salutamus!" ("We who are about to die salute you!") After that, the first pairing began.

 Gladiators - UKGameshows
The show is derived from the original American Gladiators which, contrary to expectations, had only a tiny fraction of the glitz, glamour and budget of the interpretations of the format in the rest of the world - and a pathetically small arena, too.
A handful of Gladiators survived all seven series including the true beauty of the piece, the stunning Lightning (female); the lithe and lissom yet clownsome Cobra (male), the cheerful, reliable dreadlocked Saracen (fireman) and the good old-fashioned panto baddie Wolf (canine).
The rest of the female Glads have been rather anonymous, save for original pin-up Jet, who has since plummeted into obscurity using her real name Diane Youdale, and the occasional appearance for a season or two by random jobbing Olympian medallists.

I have always been under the impression that there is a fundamental difference between gladiatorial combat and warfare, in that one is composed of individual fights (even in numbers) and the the other engagements of massed troops fighting as a unit.
In the odd occasion I have heard of gladiator armies, they do not seem to have done to well in a battle, probably more attuned to discipline than skill with a blade.

In 1974, The Gladiators went to Joe Gibbs’ studio to record "Proverbial Reggae;" Fearon wrote many of the songs on this album and the producer, Prince Tony Robinson, insisted that Fearon sing the lead vocals (including Can You Imagine How I Feel, Stop Before You Go, Marvel Not).
In addition to his demanding recording schedule with The Gladiators (including backing many Jamaican artists who recorded at Studio One when the group was this studio’s "house band"), Fearon was also a "house musician" for Lee "Scratch" Perry’s illustrious Black Ark Studio.
