Gladiator

Gladiators (or pitfighters) are combatants forced to fight in arenas or pits. They use morningstars, halberds and trap-nets. Many slaves and prisoners are forced into gladiatorial fights.
During the early decades of the Age of Order, a sly ogre chieftain decreed that disputes in his clan would be settled via proxy in one-on-one combat between gladiator slaves. The mortality rate amongst the ogres plummeted, leading to a golden age of expansion.Gladiator's Shield
Two most iconic characters of Azeroth were gladiators during their enslavement, Thrall and Varian Wrynn.

==In the RPG==
A gladiator has devoted himself to the mastery of close combat. This single-minded devotion to weaponry and fighting styles makes him much feared by his enemies who cross him, and close allies to those who manage to befriend him. A gladiator prides himself on having equal proficiency over every weapon imaginable. Most also strive to become peerless experts in a weapon of their choice. This chosen weapon weaves and sings in the gladiator's hand, carving a swath through all foes.
Most gladiators come from the ranks of fighters, warriors, or barbarians, who find the discipline and rigors of training a welcome challenge to master. Other classes require much more work to become a true gladiator.
Among the Horde, gladiators are known as blademasters.Warcraft: The Roleplaying Game, pg. 77World of Warcraft: The Roleplaying Game, pg. 104
