'Gladiators' champ Evan Dollard returns as warrior
Posted at 8:30 a.m. Thursday, May 1
Call it the return of the king. Chicago's Evan Dollard is back in Gladiator arena—as a champion and new “American Gladiators.”
Dollard, who scored the nickname the Evanator last season—now goes by Rocket in the Gladiator arena. He is one of three new warriors who’ll battle contestants when the NBC competition returns on May 12, along with Season 1 women’s champ Monica “Jet” Carlson, and Jennifer “Phoenix” Widerstrom.
According to TV Guide, Dollard and the other newbies have been working hard at Gladiator Boot Camp with up to five hours of physical training a day.
I’m guessing Dollard will specialize in The Wall this season. The rock climbing enthusiast blew away Wolf every time in Season 1, scampering up The Wall in record times.
Watch for more Chicago connections this season too. In the May 19 episode, Chicago cops and partners David Moore and Melvin Davis go up against each other.
I’m trying to set up a chat with Dollard, so check back later. Until then, view his Season 1 photo gallery by clicking on the photo here. Read all about Dollard and his road to becoming a Gladiator.

I am looking forward to seeing Evan Dollard AKA
the Evanator on season 2 of American Gladiators!
He blew them all away on Season 1, and I know he will do the same for this season. I wonder if he has bulked up a bunch? Go Gladiators!! Go Rocket!!
Curt's reply: He has bulked up. Watch for my interview with him
