Always a possibility, granted, although I wouldn't be shocked if NBC
got all of the top-line Gladiators (specifically Crush & Wolf) on
contract long enough to get through a number of tournaments before
renegotiating.
Carano's profile might have been raised, but only because there are
lots of people who would watch a show like American Gladiators who
wouldn't ordinarily sit through an hour of MMA. In fact, I'd go so
far as to say that the two audiences are probably exclusive. (There's
probably more crossover in audience where Matt Morgan ("Beast"/TNA's
"The Blueprint") is concerned - although in Morgan's case, there was
some cross-promotion on TNA Impact.)
