RollerJam
Between 1999 and 2001, another televised revival took place known as RollerJam. A number of stars from the original Roller Derby as well as newer stars from a variety of athletic backgrounds were recruited to skate in the six-team World Skating League. Jerry Seltzer was named the show’s “commissioner.”
The Fall of RollerJam
The show was televised from the “RollerJam Arena” in Universal Studios. Despite strong funding and four seasons of broadcasts on the network now known as Spike TV, fictionalized storylines and uncharismatic characters took precedence over actual skating, which did not go over well with fans, and RollerJam drew to an end.
