There have been a bunch of shows in the last 10 years that have been about OCR and/or featured athletes from OCR. The first name that came to mind for this chapter is the living legend himself, Hunter McIntyre. Hunter loves the camera, and the camera loves him back. He's the most outspoken athlete in the game, and he has the talent to back it up. He's been on more magazines and seen more airtime than anyone else in our industry. You could say he is our only true crossover star. Hunter joined us to discuss Boundless, Steve Austin's Broken Skull, Spartan Ultimate Team Challenge, Million Dollar Mile, and The Spartan Games.
