Gladiator is pretty gory at times; I'd say much more so than LotR. However, I think one could get the gist of it without the violence. The problem is that such editing often messes with the flow of the movie, and when edited for TV, a lot more than just the gore is likely to be removed, and whole scenes could end up missing. Commercials also tend to take one out of the moment. Even so, it's probably worth catching next time it's on TNT.
