Titan is the only holdover from the original American Gladiators. Don't remember him? He was probably on the later years buried in syndication. You can't miss him now though, especially when he’s jousting you in real life. But adorned by buff babes Crush and Venom, even Titan got distracted.
CraveOnline: What inspired you to try out for the show?
Titan: Well, I was here before. I was here 10 years ago. I was on the original Gladiators. So when it came out, I said, "No, this is my show. I gotta get back on there." My manager said, "No, no, no, we'll get you in." I said, "No, no. I want to do it from the start. The tryouts all the way through."
Venom: My coach and trainer told me about it. I was born to do this. He's been training me seriously, hardcore for years. I'm King National Fitness Champion because of him so he's my inspiration for this. He said, "You are born to do this." I was like, "Yes. This is how we've been training, very hardcore." It's been a dream. It's been a dream job for sure.
Crush: I'm a professional fighter so they came to me.
CraveOnline: When they came to you, what was your reaction?
Crush: My reaction was initially no, because I didn't want it to disrupt my fight game because I'm just starting to get comfortable and find myself in my fighting. But I thought about it and this opportunity doesn't come along all the time. It's an opportunity for me to explore a different side of myself. I'm going to still fight, but it's been a really good experience. We're so blessed to have such a good crew.
Titan: That's the thing. The team is tight. We're all good, it's a good camaraderie. This is such an iconic show. It's going to be so big. I wouldn't waste it.
CraveOnline: How did you come up with your gladiator names?
Venom: It was a collaborative effort.
Titan: With my name, I came in with The Natural or Atlas and they went, "Titan," the last day, right when we were starting to film. They go, "You know what? Titan." They had the final say.
CraveOnline: Did your familiarity with events help you out?
Titan: Oh, absolutely. The joust I did before. Powerball, there's nothing better than powerball. You're flying. You're just knocking guys silly.
CraveOnline: What are your favorite events, ladies?
American Gladiator: Venom
Venom: My favorite is The Wall and Hang Tough. I really like those two events. The wall you're chasing after someone 40 feet above water. It's incredible and you grab onto her, grab onto her waist and just rip her, try and rip her off the wall and she plunges down into the water, it's awesome. It's pretty cool.
Crush: Joust, baby. I just like to hit things.
Keyboard Cuts: The ...
