'AGT' Season 19: Watch Howie Mandel's reaction to Full Steel Combat as group bombs
PASADENA, CALIFORNIA: During the most recent episode of 'America's Got Talent' Season 19, the spotlight was on Full Steel Combat, a mixed martial arts group showcasing their distinctive medieval-themed fighting skills to captivate the audience.
The group members adorned themselves in elaborate costumes, wielding swords and shields as they displayed their talents on stage. Their performance captivated the audience with a thrilling blend of athleticism and historical flair, bringing a new level of excitement to the competition.
Despite their best efforts, the trio of men failed to make a strong impression on the judging panel, which included Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum, Simon Cowell, and Sofia Vergara, with their performance.
When critiquing their performance, Howie remarked that it resembled a more subdued version of a Medieval Times show, albeit without the notable inclusion of a slowly roasted chicken as part of the spectacle.
"It was like a slower version of Medieval Times except you didn't slow roast the chicken," Howie shared. Unfortunately, Full Steel Combat did not advance to the next round of the NBC show, as all four judges unanimously hit their 'X' button and rejected their performance.
