RollerJam

RollerJam (sometimes called Roller Jam) was a semi-theatrical Roller Derby revival that was broadcast on the U.S. cable television network TNN from January 1999 to January 2001. The show lasted four seasons, comprising 100 episodes, most of which were doubleheader matches. Its six-team league featured a number of star athletes and players with sex appeal embroiled in fabricated storylines, and inspired a number of fan-maintained web sites devoted to the teams, players, and the show in general.
