Yup, sure there were executions n allat in the Coliseum and such but most actual Gladiators were no more then enslaved professional wrestlers for the most part. Similar to how in the 50s n 60s early professional wrestlers were also real martial artists.

Mike Tyson also was saying all th gladiators were fukkbois
The elite used to have gay sex with them all the time.
They were gay sex slaves that fought for their freedom.
But they were addicted to the fame so many kept winning but never left.

History is a lie. It’s based on hypothesis and a narrative agreed on by a bunch of people. When I hear such and such created something you always gotta add the they were "credited with" it.

Well kinda, usually gladiators didnt die, but Spartacus out of spite would actually kill the opponents when he wasn't supposed to.
