Shannon Hall hoped to be a Contender but ended up snagging a spot as a Gladiator on the show instead! Like her peers, she ended up killing it during the audition that she was offered a permanent role instead. She went by the name Dallas because people kept forgetting her real name. Her athletic prowess did not go unnoticed either. As a matter of fact, she got an offer for a pro boxing contract in 1996. To no one’s surprise, she ended up making it big as a heavyweight champion. In 1998, WWE offered her a contract, but she did not appear on the show. At the moment, she is running a gym called Gladiator Arena.

The truth was that you could be chosen as a Gladiator, but there was still no guarantee that you would get any screen time. We know the usual faces picked to appear in front of the cameras, but there were also alternates that could substitute should anything go wrong. Tank, born Ed Radcliffe, was in the latter category. After Raye Hollitt asked him to try it out, the former marine was eager to face off Contenders. In the end, he decided to leave the show once it dawned on him that Hollywood was not for him. He did not want to be famous because his goal was to simply battle it out.
