Snippets....
| Quote: | | The face of the WWE for the past decade, Cena is at the helm of the Fox competition series “American Grit,” due to air in 2016 and currently shooting in Pack Forest, about 30 miles south of Puyallup. |
| Quote: | | The show follows four teams, each coached by a member of the military, as they compete in a new military-grade and survival-themed challenge each week. The winning team is safe; the other three must send one teammate to “The Circus,” an endurance-based obstacle course that ends only when one competitor decides to ring a large bell signaling “I give up.”
In scouting for locations, executive producer Brent Montgomery said that Fox looked at several locations, with Washington being a clear winner.
“You can’t go wrong up here; you get a lot of different looks,” he said of the topography. Filming is in the early stages, but already the show has seen days filled with sun, snow, rain and of course, gray.
The location also was nicely tucked away from the spotlight of those wondering what Cena had been doing while away from the ring.
“Certainly not a lot of media stir outside Puyallup,” Cena said.
Unlike most competition shows that thrive on friction in and among the teams, “American Grit” aims for a military-inspired camaraderie among the competitors with an emphasis on teamwork and motivation, not backstabbing. |
