South Jersey Man Competes In NBC Reality Show Hosted By The Rock

WINSLOW TOWNSHIP, NJ - A South Jersey man compares NBC’s newest reality show to “American Ninja Warriors,” and he should know; he was there firsthand.

Jon Brascetta, 30, of the Sicklerville section of Winslow Township was among the 32 male contestants on "The Titan Games," according to nj.com. The martial arts school owner and fifth-degree black belt told the news site the competition is something he “couldn’t prepare for,” and that it was like “walking around with a blindfold on.”

The 10-episode series hosted by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson debuts on Thursday night, Jan. 3, 8 p.m. on NBC. According to the description of the show posted on the network’s website, it “will offer everyday people the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to compete in epic head-to-head challenges designed to test the mind, body and heart.”

The show gives both men and women the chance to win $100,000 through a competition that tests their physical strength, as well as their mental and emotional fortitude.
