00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:02.839
It's something that we created because I am somebody who
2
00:00:02.919 --> 00:00:05.240
loves the power of choice. I can't stand the same
3
00:00:05.320 --> 00:00:08.720
radio station longer than maybe fifteen sixteen minutes. I can't
4
00:00:08.759 --> 00:00:12.160
really listen to the same podcast week after week after week.
5
00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:14.439
I need the power of choice, So why would I
6
00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:17.359
keep that from you? Which is why we created erow
7
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:21.320
dot net, a r r Oe dot net, twenty different
8
00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:26.399
completely way out there podcasts. Oh, it can be way
9
00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:29.719
out there. How about the podcast episodes called the Resurrection
10
00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:34.039
the Rising of the Writing Instrument? You got to experience it,
11
00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:37.320
because if you're a writer, what are you doing with
12
00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:41.520
your writing instruments that really pull in and invite your
13
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:44.640
muse too far over your head? Not if you're a writer.
14
00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:51.320
Ero dot net, aarre dot net. Enjoy your exploration. Hey guys,
15
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:52.600
how are you doing today?
16
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:54.759
I'm awesome as always.
17
00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:57.560
Listen to that. I love that kind of winning attitude
18
00:00:57.560 --> 00:00:59.960
because I'm a firm believer that winning is a choice,
19
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:03.840
and you've always have always really projected that winning is
20
00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:05.079
a choice.
21
00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:09.280
Well, I mean it's a choice, but you don't really
22
00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:12.200
have a choice when you go into the American Gladiator
23
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:15.079
arena because you're going up against our gladiators.
24
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:16.319
And if you ask.
25
00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:18.400
Our gladiators if you have a choice of winning and losing,
26
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:21.120
they'll just say, no, you just have a choice of loosing,
27
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:26.079
because yes, it's going to happen. Our gladiators are dominant,
28
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:29.719
they're forceful, and they are very good at all the
29
00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:34.079
gladiator events. And our contenders come in thinking that they're
30
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:36.799
ready and that they're prepared, and they probably are for
31
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:37.799
most events.
32
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:42.319
But when you're going at a joust or hang tough
33
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:44.040
and you're hanging there.
34
00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:47.560
And you see a two hundred and sixty five pound
35
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:52.000
man who is literally pure solid muscle coming after you,
36
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:54.959
it's a whole different aspect that you got to think about.
37
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:55.760
Now.
38
00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:58.000
Roxy you know how people are. They'll look at those
39
00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:01.480
big warriors when it comes to American Gladiator and we'll
40
00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:03.799
sit there and go, I got it. How do you
41
00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:05.599
handle that? Because I mean, you get to meet these
42
00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:08.639
contestants beforehand, you get to listen to their stories and
43
00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:11.960
really kind of dive deeper into the journey. How do
44
00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:16.960
you handle that when they've got such huge visions.
45
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:20.240
I mean, for our contenders, you know, some of their
46
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:24.360
stories are phenomenal. What they're fighting for. How that one
47
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:28.560
hundred thousand dollars can completely be a life changing check
48
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:33.919
literally for them. It's amazing. But I'll tell you what,
49
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:36.039
these gladiators, this is what they do for a living.
50
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:39.919
They train their bodies, they've trained their minds, you know,
51
00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:45.800
for this. They are supreme athletes, you know, in every aspect,
52
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:50.639
and it's to be respected. And I don't want none.
53
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:55.159
I wouldn't want no part of Neon or Crust or
54
00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:59.439
Blade or Hurricane or Eagle or any of our gladiators.
55
00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:03.319
It's just like they are phenomenal beings. They're kind of
56
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:06.039
like mutants when you think about it, because I don't
57
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:08.879
know how a human being could be could just be
58
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:14.800
like that, Like they're they're supreme, supreme athletes and some
59
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:17.960
amer contenders have some big egos and I and I
60
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:21.240
personally love to see get checked every once in a while.
61
00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:22.960
Like it thought it was going to be a safe
62
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:24.280
walk in the park, but it's.
63
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:25.080
Definitely not that.
64
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:28.680
Please don't move. There's more with Mike and Roxy coming
65
00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:36.319
up next, American Gladiators, Your storytellers, Mike the Miz and
66
00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:40.240
Roxy Diaz. Now miss the thing about it is is
67
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:42.360
that I'm a third degree black belt in martial arts,
68
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:44.400
and they always teach us balance, balance and learn how
69
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:48.159
to fall blah blah blah. But you've been inside that ring.
70
00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:50.919
The thing about it is, though, is it about balance
71
00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:53.520
or is it about communicating with your body to go
72
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:55.639
in directions that you're not accustomed to.
73
00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:01.520
So and the Gladiator Arena, you're not accustomed to any
74
00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:03.840
of our events because you can't practice our events as
75
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:06.879
much as you can. Think that you could put two
76
00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:11.280
pillowcases on a broom a stick and literally try to
77
00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:14.439
drowse your friends and your family or your brother, your sister.
78
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:16.800
It's just not going to work. It's not the same.
79
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:19.480
So you can train as much as you want, it's
80
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:23.680
just a different aspect. And it's literally when I first
81
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:27.279
got into the Gladiator Arena, I looked around and I
82
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:29.959
just had such nostalgia of when I was a kid
83
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:36.040
and remembering Powerball and the wall and hanging tough, and
84
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:38.199
it just brought such an immense feeling.
85
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:41.160
And I think the entire crew, like whether it.
86
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:43.920
Was production, whether it was myself, Roxy and Chris Rose,
87
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:47.040
or even the gladiators and contenders, we all wanted to
88
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:49.439
make the best show possible. We want to make a
89
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:52.399
show that people could watch and literally absolutely fall in
90
00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:54.319
love with. The entire family can watch.
91
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:57.160
It and literally for the past.
92
00:04:56.879 --> 00:05:00.360
Two weeks, our show has been top ten in US
93
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:03.199
TV shows on Prime Video, and.
94
00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:05.120
It just goes to show like our hard work is
95
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:05.519
paying off.
96
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:09.319
People are enjoying what we are doing, and it's just
97
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:12.519
we're super proud of the success of it and we
98
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:14.680
want to continue that success. And I can't wait for
99
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:19.040
everyone to see who the ultimate American Gladiator is and
100
00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:20.399
we'll find out this Friday.
101
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:23.560
I was just recently with Chris and the thing is Roxy.
102
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:25.480
I mean, the three of you together, that to me
103
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:28.120
is harmony, the way that you work together because each
104
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:30.800
one of you come from a different background. But how
105
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:32.720
is it that you're all three of you were able
106
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:35.800
to speak the storyline through what you see through your
107
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:38.800
eyes because you're watching it and it makes its way
108
00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:41.480
to us and it's like, how are they doing this?
109
00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:46.480
Because this is not scripted out, you know. I, you.
110
00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:49.120
Know, it's great that you brought up Chris Rose because
111
00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:53.240
both Mike and I, you know, every single one of
112
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:56.040
us brought something different to the table. So Chris Rose
113
00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:59.759
is truly a special talent. I mean, he was coming
114
00:05:59.879 --> 00:06:03.519
up with those dopes off the cuff, and and it
115
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:07.360
just shows to his craft because it's a craft, you know,
116
00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:10.399
and his professionalism, and he just knows what he's talking about.
117
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:12.279
He knows how to do play by place. I mean,
118
00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:15.639
I don't I honestly don't know anybody better than Chris
119
00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:19.279
Rose to be able to bring humor and to describe
120
00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:23.560
the action of what's happening on the arena floor so articulately.
121
00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:26.480
I don't think I said that right, so articulate and
122
00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:31.519
saying what's happening, it's it's truly amazing. So with with
123
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:35.439
with Chris giving us, you know, the play by play action.
124
00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:40.079
Mike brings the energy that the crowd in the arena
125
00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:44.560
is feeling, and I just traffic control it. I traffic
126
00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:46.600
control these guys and.
127
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:49.279
Make sure you get through that. Roxy brings people like
128
00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:50.439
to tears, So.
129
00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:54.399
I would literally be asking questions like how do you feel?
130
00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:55.839
And then Ross you would be like.
131
00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:58.399
My gosh, the story that you have said that you
132
00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:01.160
have had growing up with you were a child, and
133
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:02.279
how is that bringing out?
134
00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:04.879
And I'm like looking at her, going where is this?
135
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:07.000
How does she do this? Question?
136
00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:10.279
And literally everyone's crying not just the contenders and some
137
00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:13.480
of the gladiators, like the audience, Everyone's crying in the
138
00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:17.160
entire arena because Roxy's just asking these immense, in depth
139
00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:20.560
questions that only she can't.
140
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:22.720
Well, it's because of her music connection, That's what I feel,
141
00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:25.160
because she's got and she has to understand what the
142
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:27.959
emotion is in order to bring it forward. Because on
143
00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:30.399
the receiving end of everything that's going on, if I
144
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:33.600
don't have that moment of empathy or compassion which Roxy
145
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:36.000
is bringing us, it's like, Okay, what's going on here?
146
00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:38.120
Bring them on, let's fight, but let's hear let's have
147
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:39.560
a human story in here as well.
148
00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:45.319
Yeah, they the contenders do have, you know, human stories,
149
00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:48.639
some that you follow. Even when our contenders just thanking
150
00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:50.959
their mom and telling their mom that they're their hero,
151
00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:53.800
and the mom is in the arena watching their can't
152
00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:57.399
how can you not? You know, we all love our mom.
153
00:07:57.519 --> 00:07:59.279
You know, we all love our dad. We want to
154
00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:02.639
make our parents proud, and it's you know, there's times
155
00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:04.480
that it kind of gets you a little missy eye.
156
00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:07.199
So but we love that because you know what, this
157
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:08.759
is a family show. At the end of the day,
158
00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:11.319
I take pride in being able to be a part
159
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:14.680
of a project that families can sit around and watch
160
00:08:14.839 --> 00:08:19.560
with their kids and live out some great TV moments
161
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:21.160
and it's a fun watch.
162
00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:22.759
We're recreating a.
163
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:26.000
Nostalgic moment for us growing up and and for people
164
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:28.639
with kids and young kids. They're creating a new generation
165
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:31.639
of American Gladiator fans, which amazing.
166
00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:33.480
So true because Mike, Because here's the thing. It's creating
167
00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:36.320
a conversation between the elders as well as the young ones.
168
00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:38.919
And what I love about it is when everybody is
169
00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:42.320
wearing their own American Gladiator T shirt. When I start
170
00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:45.440
seeing that on the streets, I smile like a fricking kid.
171
00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:49.480
Yeah, I mean literally, it just brings back those old
172
00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:52.360
memories yes dad as a kid, because I mean, like
173
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:55.720
for me, it is American Gladiators in WWA, and now
174
00:08:55.799 --> 00:08:57.480
I get the best of both worlds. I get to
175
00:08:57.480 --> 00:09:00.279
be a WWE superstar, which I've been for twenty years,
176
00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:04.320
to get to wrestle every Friday on SmackDown on USA Network,
177
00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:06.440
and then I also get to be the host.
178
00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:09.639
I get to be the Mike Adamley of of You know,
179
00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:12.759
does that make you? Larry Zonka is that, what is that?
180
00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:14.480
What that makes you? That makes me?
181
00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:18.559
It makes me Lay Louy he came back.
182
00:09:21.159 --> 00:09:22.639
Wow, you guys have got to come back to this
183
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:25.000
show anytime in the future. You're on the right path
184
00:09:25.039 --> 00:09:28.720
when it comes to helping people realize you can reach,
185
00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:32.240
perseverance and beyond. I love it on American Gladiator.
186
00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:34.120
Thank you, thank you.
187
00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:35.600
You guys be brilliant today.
188
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:37.840
Okay, you too, Thank you.
1
00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:02.839
It's something that we created because I am somebody who
2
00:00:02.919 --> 00:00:05.240
loves the power of choice. I can't stand the same
3
00:00:05.320 --> 00:00:08.720
radio station longer than maybe fifteen sixteen minutes. I can't
4
00:00:08.759 --> 00:00:12.160
really listen to the same podcast week after week after week.
5
00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:14.439
I need the power of choice, So why would I
6
00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:17.359
keep that from you? Which is why we created erow
7
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:21.320
dot net, a r r Oe dot net, twenty different
8
00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:26.399
completely way out there podcasts. Oh, it can be way
9
00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:29.719
out there. How about the podcast episodes called the Resurrection
10
00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:34.039
the Rising of the Writing Instrument? You got to experience it,
11
00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:37.320
because if you're a writer, what are you doing with
12
00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:41.520
your writing instruments that really pull in and invite your
13
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:44.640
muse too far over your head? Not if you're a writer.
14
00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:51.320
Ero dot net, aarre dot net. Enjoy your exploration. Hey guys,
15
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:52.600
how are you doing today?
16
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:54.759
I'm awesome as always.
17
00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:57.560
Listen to that. I love that kind of winning attitude
18
00:00:57.560 --> 00:00:59.960
because I'm a firm believer that winning is a choice,
19
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:03.840
and you've always have always really projected that winning is
20
00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:05.079
a choice.
21
00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:09.280
Well, I mean it's a choice, but you don't really
22
00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:12.200
have a choice when you go into the American Gladiator
23
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:15.079
arena because you're going up against our gladiators.
24
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:16.319
And if you ask.
25
00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:18.400
Our gladiators if you have a choice of winning and losing,
26
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:21.120
they'll just say, no, you just have a choice of loosing,
27
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:26.079
because yes, it's going to happen. Our gladiators are dominant,
28
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:29.719
they're forceful, and they are very good at all the
29
00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:34.079
gladiator events. And our contenders come in thinking that they're
30
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:36.799
ready and that they're prepared, and they probably are for
31
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:37.799
most events.
32
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:42.319
But when you're going at a joust or hang tough
33
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:44.040
and you're hanging there.
34
00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:47.560
And you see a two hundred and sixty five pound
35
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:52.000
man who is literally pure solid muscle coming after you,
36
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:54.959
it's a whole different aspect that you got to think about.
37
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:55.760
Now.
38
00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:58.000
Roxy you know how people are. They'll look at those
39
00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:01.480
big warriors when it comes to American Gladiator and we'll
40
00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:03.799
sit there and go, I got it. How do you
41
00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:05.599
handle that? Because I mean, you get to meet these
42
00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:08.639
contestants beforehand, you get to listen to their stories and
43
00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:11.960
really kind of dive deeper into the journey. How do
44
00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:16.960
you handle that when they've got such huge visions.
45
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:20.240
I mean, for our contenders, you know, some of their
46
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:24.360
stories are phenomenal. What they're fighting for. How that one
47
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:28.560
hundred thousand dollars can completely be a life changing check
48
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:33.919
literally for them. It's amazing. But I'll tell you what,
49
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:36.039
these gladiators, this is what they do for a living.
50
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:39.919
They train their bodies, they've trained their minds, you know,
51
00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:45.800
for this. They are supreme athletes, you know, in every aspect,
52
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:50.639
and it's to be respected. And I don't want none.
53
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:55.159
I wouldn't want no part of Neon or Crust or
54
00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:59.439
Blade or Hurricane or Eagle or any of our gladiators.
55
00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:03.319
It's just like they are phenomenal beings. They're kind of
56
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:06.039
like mutants when you think about it, because I don't
57
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:08.879
know how a human being could be could just be
58
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:14.800
like that, Like they're they're supreme, supreme athletes and some
59
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:17.960
amer contenders have some big egos and I and I
60
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:21.240
personally love to see get checked every once in a while.
61
00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:22.960
Like it thought it was going to be a safe
62
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:24.280
walk in the park, but it's.
63
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:25.080
Definitely not that.
64
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:28.680
Please don't move. There's more with Mike and Roxy coming
65
00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:36.319
up next, American Gladiators, Your storytellers, Mike the Miz and
66
00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:40.240
Roxy Diaz. Now miss the thing about it is is
67
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:42.360
that I'm a third degree black belt in martial arts,
68
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:44.400
and they always teach us balance, balance and learn how
69
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:48.159
to fall blah blah blah. But you've been inside that ring.
70
00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:50.919
The thing about it is, though, is it about balance
71
00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:53.520
or is it about communicating with your body to go
72
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:55.639
in directions that you're not accustomed to.
73
00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:01.520
So and the Gladiator Arena, you're not accustomed to any
74
00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:03.840
of our events because you can't practice our events as
75
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:06.879
much as you can. Think that you could put two
76
00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:11.280
pillowcases on a broom a stick and literally try to
77
00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:14.439
drowse your friends and your family or your brother, your sister.
78
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:16.800
It's just not going to work. It's not the same.
79
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:19.480
So you can train as much as you want, it's
80
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:23.680
just a different aspect. And it's literally when I first
81
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:27.279
got into the Gladiator Arena, I looked around and I
82
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:29.959
just had such nostalgia of when I was a kid
83
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:36.040
and remembering Powerball and the wall and hanging tough, and
84
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:38.199
it just brought such an immense feeling.
85
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:41.160
And I think the entire crew, like whether it.
86
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:43.920
Was production, whether it was myself, Roxy and Chris Rose,
87
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:47.040
or even the gladiators and contenders, we all wanted to
88
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:49.439
make the best show possible. We want to make a
89
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:52.399
show that people could watch and literally absolutely fall in
90
00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:54.319
love with. The entire family can watch.
91
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:57.160
It and literally for the past.
92
00:04:56.879 --> 00:05:00.360
Two weeks, our show has been top ten in US
93
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:03.199
TV shows on Prime Video, and.
94
00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:05.120
It just goes to show like our hard work is
95
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:05.519
paying off.
96
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:09.319
People are enjoying what we are doing, and it's just
97
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:12.519
we're super proud of the success of it and we
98
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:14.680
want to continue that success. And I can't wait for
99
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:19.040
everyone to see who the ultimate American Gladiator is and
100
00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:20.399
we'll find out this Friday.
101
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:23.560
I was just recently with Chris and the thing is Roxy.
102
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:25.480
I mean, the three of you together, that to me
103
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:28.120
is harmony, the way that you work together because each
104
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:30.800
one of you come from a different background. But how
105
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:32.720
is it that you're all three of you were able
106
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:35.800
to speak the storyline through what you see through your
107
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:38.800
eyes because you're watching it and it makes its way
108
00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:41.480
to us and it's like, how are they doing this?
109
00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:46.480
Because this is not scripted out, you know. I, you.
110
00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:49.120
Know, it's great that you brought up Chris Rose because
111
00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:53.240
both Mike and I, you know, every single one of
112
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:56.040
us brought something different to the table. So Chris Rose
113
00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:59.759
is truly a special talent. I mean, he was coming
114
00:05:59.879 --> 00:06:03.519
up with those dopes off the cuff, and and it
115
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:07.360
just shows to his craft because it's a craft, you know,
116
00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:10.399
and his professionalism, and he just knows what he's talking about.
117
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:12.279
He knows how to do play by place. I mean,
118
00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:15.639
I don't I honestly don't know anybody better than Chris
119
00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:19.279
Rose to be able to bring humor and to describe
120
00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:23.560
the action of what's happening on the arena floor so articulately.
121
00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:26.480
I don't think I said that right, so articulate and
122
00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:31.519
saying what's happening, it's it's truly amazing. So with with
123
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:35.439
with Chris giving us, you know, the play by play action.
124
00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:40.079
Mike brings the energy that the crowd in the arena
125
00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:44.560
is feeling, and I just traffic control it. I traffic
126
00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:46.600
control these guys and.
127
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:49.279
Make sure you get through that. Roxy brings people like
128
00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:50.439
to tears, So.
129
00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:54.399
I would literally be asking questions like how do you feel?
130
00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:55.839
And then Ross you would be like.
131
00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:58.399
My gosh, the story that you have said that you
132
00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:01.160
have had growing up with you were a child, and
133
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:02.279
how is that bringing out?
134
00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:04.879
And I'm like looking at her, going where is this?
135
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:07.000
How does she do this? Question?
136
00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:10.279
And literally everyone's crying not just the contenders and some
137
00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:13.480
of the gladiators, like the audience, Everyone's crying in the
138
00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:17.160
entire arena because Roxy's just asking these immense, in depth
139
00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:20.560
questions that only she can't.
140
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:22.720
Well, it's because of her music connection, That's what I feel,
141
00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:25.160
because she's got and she has to understand what the
142
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:27.959
emotion is in order to bring it forward. Because on
143
00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:30.399
the receiving end of everything that's going on, if I
144
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:33.600
don't have that moment of empathy or compassion which Roxy
145
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:36.000
is bringing us, it's like, Okay, what's going on here?
146
00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:38.120
Bring them on, let's fight, but let's hear let's have
147
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:39.560
a human story in here as well.
148
00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:45.319
Yeah, they the contenders do have, you know, human stories,
149
00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:48.639
some that you follow. Even when our contenders just thanking
150
00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:50.959
their mom and telling their mom that they're their hero,
151
00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:53.800
and the mom is in the arena watching their can't
152
00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:57.399
how can you not? You know, we all love our mom.
153
00:07:57.519 --> 00:07:59.279
You know, we all love our dad. We want to
154
00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:02.639
make our parents proud, and it's you know, there's times
155
00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:04.480
that it kind of gets you a little missy eye.
156
00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:07.199
So but we love that because you know what, this
157
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:08.759
is a family show. At the end of the day,
158
00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:11.319
I take pride in being able to be a part
159
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:14.680
of a project that families can sit around and watch
160
00:08:14.839 --> 00:08:19.560
with their kids and live out some great TV moments
161
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:21.160
and it's a fun watch.
162
00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:22.759
We're recreating a.
163
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:26.000
Nostalgic moment for us growing up and and for people
164
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:28.639
with kids and young kids. They're creating a new generation
165
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:31.639
of American Gladiator fans, which amazing.
166
00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:33.480
So true because Mike, Because here's the thing. It's creating
167
00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:36.320
a conversation between the elders as well as the young ones.
168
00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:38.919
And what I love about it is when everybody is
169
00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:42.320
wearing their own American Gladiator T shirt. When I start
170
00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:45.440
seeing that on the streets, I smile like a fricking kid.
171
00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:49.480
Yeah, I mean literally, it just brings back those old
172
00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:52.360
memories yes dad as a kid, because I mean, like
173
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:55.720
for me, it is American Gladiators in WWA, and now
174
00:08:55.799 --> 00:08:57.480
I get the best of both worlds. I get to
175
00:08:57.480 --> 00:09:00.279
be a WWE superstar, which I've been for twenty years,
176
00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:04.320
to get to wrestle every Friday on SmackDown on USA Network,
177
00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:06.440
and then I also get to be the host.
178
00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:09.639
I get to be the Mike Adamley of of You know,
179
00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:12.759

180
00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:14.480

181
00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:18.559
