'Gladiators' return to TV; Erie creator out in the cold BY GERRY WEISS [email protected] [more details] Published: January 06. 2008 6:00AM Danny Carr doesn't want your pity. He says he'll simply continue to live with the bitterness and move on. Carr knows his home in Orlando, Fla., should be a shrine to "American Gladiators," the television show and pop-culture phenomenon he helped create in Erie in the 1980s. He's well aware that he should be giddy with excitement over the reinvention of the lucrative spandex-and-glitz competition series, which premieres tonight on NBC in primetime. But the 60-year-old former Erie resident says he won't watch the new show. Not one minute of it. "It's too painful," he says in a telephone interview from Florida. "And I'm still too bitter." Due to bad business decisions, Carr says he reaped meager financial gains from the multimillion-dollar "American Gladiators" franchise. The former ironworker and founder of Erie's Lower East Side Sports Center says he was paid about $20,000 during the TV seasons that the "American Gladiators" show ran in syndication from 1989 through 1996. As for the nationwide tours in arenas throughout America, the dozens of licensed "Gladiators" products, and the Hulk Hogan-hosted show that NBC will truck out this weekend, Carr says he didn't get a dime. "I wasn't legally protected," he says. "I wasn't smart." Be it the cult hit status the old episodes now have with teens and college students on ESPN Classic, and the catchy clips rerun on VH1's "I Love the '90s" specials. Or the plug from former President Bill Clinton, who said his favorite show during his White House days was "American Gladiators," which he and his daughter, Chelsea, always watched. All of it, Carr says, began in Erie. The former arm-wrestling champion who served two years in a juvenile detention center says his idea for "American Gladiators" came during the annual picnics he sponsored for Erie's gritty ironworkers from the late 1960s through the mid 1980s. Tough-man games and challenges, pitting one rowdy blue-collar guy against another, and testing their strength, speed and agility. The original "gladiators," Carr says, included construction worker Donny Plonski; Frank Fusco, president of United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America Local 506 at GE Transportation; and automobile dealer Brent "The Bull" Doolittle. And the first organized show came in 1982 in front of a frenzied, sold-out crowd at Tech Memorial High School. Plonski, now 52, says he was the "original gladiator," a 6-foot-2, 255-pound muscular machine nicknamed "The Sledgehammer." "I trained hard to be a gladiator," says Plonski, whose 23-inch biceps ripped through his cutoff sweatshirt uniform. "I'd pull a sled piled high with cement blocks with a strap around my waist. I pulled my car. I meant business." Plonski says his dream was to be on the "Gladiators" TV show and become a star. But that dream was smashed along with Carr's botched business arrangements. "I was crushed. We both were," Plonski says, adding that he refuses to watch NBC's new version of the show. "It still hurts. To not have the recognition. To not have people watching this show know that it originated from little Erie, Pennsylvania." GERRY WEISS can be reached at 870-1884 or by e-mail.

did you already talk to them about doing this, or is this a new idea?

send thread????????

the tracks n the e-card are surprisingly really good! I was disapointed with the last record after the demo, but man, im gunna pre-order this now.

I.... have a widows peak

booked said band on a tour with motion city soundtrack, MCS had to cancel, when I explained why to the SOUNDGUY before doors opened they overheard. they (and i KNOW it was them) proceeded to tell MCS I was telling everyone at the door that paid their reason why they canceled. 4 months later I called their agent to rebook them (as that was the deal for them canceling, to make it up) and he proceeded to tell me that the band (and agency) will never work with me ever again because I was telling everyone information that was not to be told. fuck this band big time.

I tuned in to listen for about 15 minutes... Ron Paul started talking about the gold standard as an answer to the price of oil/gas due to the over-circulation of the US dollar and the depreciation of its value compared to the price of oil... and how gold has stayed the same price as oil the entire time... it made me wonder if the Saudi's and Kuwaitt and other Oil nations sell oil to each other using gold instead of paper currency? If I do recall hearing that those nations have a LARGE amount of gold currency... also< i liked how he also said "When we went into Iraq to protect the Oil it was $27 a barrel, now its $100 a barrel... blah blah blah" Also, Fred Thompson should drop out, he dodged his question about if there should be a penalty/tax on the enormous profits being made by oil companies.

Well seeing as how the first lady holds no actual real power, that's not really fair to say. okay, I guess influence means nothing? A First Lady Finds Her Own Way By Jimmy Carter 25 Jan 1996 This article appeared in the Jan. 25, 1996, edition of The Atlanta Journal and Constitution. One of the most challenging, difficult, controversial and sensitive positions in America is that of first lady. Public interest in the wife of a president is intense, and expectations are high. Although my wife, Rosalynn, didn't have an independent professional career, she was a full partner in all our farming, business and political affairs, and she was always a key player in political strategy meetings. There are no legally prescribed duties of the first lady, but she is endowed with almost unlimited access to influential people, interest groups, members of Congress and the news media. Traditionally, she is expected to use this influence for some worthy purpose, but always in a proper and demure manner. Regardless of her professional and personal qualifications, she risks condemnation if she is too forthright in adopting projects that are deemed suitable for male officials to address. The first lady will almost certainly be involved in shaping political strategy. A heavily burdened leader must have a few associates who are totally loyal, with whom he can share the most sensitive questions. Naturally, his wife is a top choice. With the exception of a few secrets involving foreign policy and military weaponry, I shared almost all problems and questions with Rosalynn. In fact, we met in the Oval Office for regular weekly luncheons devoted exclusively to public affairs. The Oval Office is intimidating. Some lifetime friends became almost inarticulate when they visited me there, and top staff members and Cabinet officers were sometimes reluctant to discuss unpleasant issues with me. Quite often, particularly when personnel issues were involved, they went to Rosalynn, and she would then find a good time to broach the subject with me. An unrecognized fact is the importance among foreign leaders of any personal contact with a member of the American first family. During my first year in office I met with 68 heads of state. That same year, we were under urgent pressure from Latin Americans to learn more about my policy toward the region. Since I couldn't find time to visit all of them, we decided that Rosalynn would go to a few key countries to discuss the most important issues. She was thoroughly briefed, and the leaders knew she had the ear of the president. They were delighted to have her represent me when they saw that she was intensely interested in their problems and that diplomatic niceties did not keep her from addressing them bluntly and directly. But there was a storm of criticism from the Washington news media. When she decided to attend Cabinet meetings to stay abreast of what our administration was doing, some reporters almost had apoplexy. Performing under microscopic scrutiny, members of the first family do make mistakes. We were forced to spend a small fortune on legal fees and hundreds of hours in researching old records to refute false allegations involving our political associates, our family and the use of campaign funds before assuming office. Our truthful explanations just tended to perpetuate the controversies. I see a lot of parallels between our experiences and those involving other strong and active first ladies, including Eleanor Roosevelt, Betty Ford, Nancy Reagan and Hillary Clinton. The fact is, all these women have rendered great service to our nation. Some have not been able to walk the political high wire between serving effectively and pleasing the American public and the White House press corps. We can be thankful that most first ladies have chosen to ignore the fault-finding and continue to serve our country as dedicated and effective volunteers.

only chance she represents is a change in sex. her idea's are going to be no different than her husbands when he was in office. she couldn't change anything as first lady, whats to say she will as president?

Yeah, it's really a bummer. I feel like he just wants to stand up and yell, "Is everyone taking crazy pills? I HAVE EXECUTIVE EXPERIENCE!" If this was a job interview, dude would get it over the other three candidates hands down. As much as I want Obama to take him as his vice-pres, he wont, he'll take Edwards, because that'll ensure his victory. Richardson is a brilliant man and if Obama wins, he should be appointed in his cabinet.
