The producers of the RollerJam series decided to copy the model of World Wrestling Entertainment by introducing actors to play on-screen characters in storylines, keeping with the sports entertainment genre.

This was to the dismay of many skaters and fans who wanted Rollerjam to remain true to the focal point of skating competition.

Many feel these moves led to the series' demise. Other characters included Julie Amazon a Chyna-like bodybuilding skater in Season 4 , The Prophet A character in Season 4 only who would interrupt games to make speeches The most points ever scored in one jam was 28 in Period 3 of a game between the New York Enforcers and the Illinois Riot. Bagwell Sr.

Bagwell and Land recruited numerous stars from the Roller Derby of yesteryear, as well as newer stars from various athletic backgrounds, including nationally ranked speed skaters, to skate in the six-team World Skating League WSL. Jerry Seltzer was named RollerJam "commissioner". Zone situated on the grounds of Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. These names were changed prior to the start of the first season.

The first episode of the show was taped in November , a week after Thanksgiving. Jerry Seltzer served as on-screen WSL commissioner, although he only made a few appearances. Despite strong funding and four seasons of broadcasts on TNN, the venture never became a "live" attraction. Fabricated storylines and characters in the mode of professional wrestling were being featured more than actual competitive skating around season 3 and 4, raising the ire of many skaters and fans of true roller derby.

Games were played in four 7-minute periods with as many second jams as possible; women skated odd numbered periods, and the men skated the even-numbered periods. In traditional roller derby, the game has eight minute periods, again with second jams. Jams began and ended on the referee's whistle, and a buzzer sounded to reinforce this.

Whereas traditional derby employs a pivot skater, RollerJam did not use one. Instead, each team had three blockers, each wearing a white helmet, and two jammers, each wearing a black helmet with red stripes.

In-line skates were legalized in attempt to modernize the sport, but certain skaters opted still to use the quad skates. In seasons , this changed to every single jam starting from a standstill start from the black line. In either case, jammers had to start from the back of the pack the whole group and work their way through, with the first jammer to break out winning the status of lead jammer.

The skaters then got one point for every opponent they successfully lapped. The lead jammer could cut off the jam early by placing their hands on their hips. The last jam of the last period always went the full minute regardless of what the period clock showed. At the referee's discretion, skaters would sit in a penalty box for violating the rules for various reasons such as fighting , from jams, or face immediate disqualification ejection from the game.

Skaters frequently racked up these penalties and were willing to take it if they felt it would bring them a moral victory.

The team with the most points won the game. If the game was tied in regulation, originally the genders would continue to alternate in sudden death overtime periods until there was a clear winner.

As this could go on for a considerable and indefinite period of time, it was soon replaced one skater from each team facing off in a "Tiebreaker Match Race", five laps around the track and whoever crossed the finish line first won the game for their team.
