00:00 I remember the producer says, "Hey, I'm gonna make you guys stars.
00:08 You guys are gonna make a lot of money."
00:13 American Gladiators, you know that TV show where people supposedly get to test their
00:17 strength against a bunch of hoax?
00:20 Nothing was staged ever.
00:23 Every competition was do or die.
00:26 Barbaric.
00:27 Look, we had groupies, we had sex, we had drugs, and we were coming to a town to kick
00:34 the s*** out of you.
00:35 And that's when you go, "Holy s***, we're kind of famous."
00:39 These guys' egos just started getting bigger and bigger.
00:41 You're never gonna defeat 220 pounds of twisted steel and sex appeal.
00:47 Something that was delightful started to feel resentful.
00:52 Walked into their dressing room and saw that there were syringes and needles lying around.
00:58 As an athlete, you gotta make the decision what you're willing to do to perform.
01:05 There is such a thing as Roy Rage.
01:07 I just remember him chasing after the referee.

01:18 These events were dangerous.
01:20 They didn't understand the injuries that were gonna happen.

01:27 They fly down on a rope and knock you off your ass.
01:32 That was it.
01:33 That was the end of him.
01:34 We knew that there were issues.
01:35 You'd have to be blind, deaf, and dumb to not know that there were issues.
01:39 There was no mercy when it came to the American Gladiator television show.
01:41 When you think you're not replaceable, you are, and that's one of the things that they
01:46 wanted to prove to people.
01:48 Watching the show completely go into downward spiral was pretty terrible.

01:58 It was just a waste of time.
