And I don't mean the wussy American Gladiators where they smack
each other with oversized Q-tips while wearing sissygil padding and
helmets.

I'm talking swords and shields, tridents and nets, wild beasts from
far-off exotic lands tearing each other apart, the executions of
criminals and members of obscure cults for public entertainment,
the whole arena being flooded for recreating actual naval battles,
the works!

If we're going to have an Empire, then I want an EMPIRE with all the
trimming, bells, whistles, and perks, dammit!

Do you think togas will come back in style?

TRUE FACT: Very popular gladiators in Ancient Rome endorsed products. They wanted to show this in the 2000 film Gladiator, but
the filmmakers thought modern audiences would not believe it. Some
things really do remain the same.
