My name is Dann Carr,also known as Apache Dann in the world of professional Wrestling and World Armwrestling competitions from the 1970s -1990s era. I am the man solely responsible for introducing the World to the iconic brand name American Gladiators . Fate would dash the dreams of their structured steel ironworker /skywalker who intended to become one -half of a Pro -Wrestling Tag Team called , The American Gladiators. My concept change has evolved into what the sporting public is familiar with now , and this change is well - documented. We fight for our first breath , and now we fight for our last ...... Everything in between must be fought for as well. This is a story about how I fought for mine. I hope you find this unique and interesting. By Apache Dann, the Original Creator of The American Gladiators!
