You remember American Gladiators? There was a show that was like it but had Wild West Stuntman as the Outlaws and the Contestants were the New Sheriffs to bring the Outlaws to justice. They had several events but I remember only two.1st is like the Sheriff had to diffuse the dynamite at the water tower and the Outlaws would climb after them and pull them down.2nd Event is the I remember the most and loved. The Sheriff would go into The Saloon and cuff the Outlaw and try to drag him out. It was a physical war but it was cool. I know two Outlaws stood out a Athletic Indian and a African American called Black Bart who was stuntman for Danny Glover.....The Outlaws were like The Gladiators and the Contestants seem to be real Cowboys in life....I try to explain the show and no one remembers it but me.

tim is the only one that vaguely remembers it and can't remember the name.

"Hey, you remember that show? Oh hell yeah you do, it was my favorite show. Now, if you can just help me find out what it was called, I can tell others the name of my favorite show of all time. I mean it only ran for one week because that stuntman killed that woman with a real whiskey bottle but it was a really cool fight up until that point".

Did you catch they're playing for the right to advance to the finals for $5,000? I gave away more on one of my radio stations to people that all they had to do was dial the phone.

Here were The Outlaws.

The 4th one on the left was kind of jerk on the show. He would pull the contestants off the water tower and laugh and push them. This one contestant this when the feud started . The Outlaw grabbed him and the Contestant smacked him in the face with a forearm and saying" You wanna piece of me"?... 2nd event The Contestant knock the crap out of him again kind of like a football game.....So they matched them up again because the contestant was making The Outlaw look bad.....Final event was the Saloon Brawl. They fought hard and to be honest I wanted the contestant to win. At one point they got close to the saloon doors and 2 extras who were suppose to be brawling got in the way which I thought was on purpose to block him. They both beat the crap out of each other and time was up The Outlaw saved some face by winning the event,but it was a good show....The athletic Indian was quick and agile and some bigger Cowboys in the Saloon Brawl had a hard time with him because he was fast,but one Big Huge Cowboy looked like a real Bounty Hunter just dragged him out in 3 seconds. Lol....The Black Bart Cowboy was good in Saloon Brawl also. I remember him and a contestant went at it and Black Bart won and both looked exhausted and kind of patted each other which was kind of funny because showed just playing a fun game and just a character.

I know the show says 1994 but I remember watching this in Hawaii while in the Marines. I believe it aired about 88-89 originally maybe just the West Coast and Nationally later.

I think this show would be a hit today in a Prime Time slot.
