Cathy Sassin never thought she was going to become a Gladiator, until one day she started filling in for the Gladiators that were injured, without knowing it was the start of the funnest 3 years of her life. She was Billy Smith’s (Thunder) girlfriend and they were married for 5 years.

Join Ice, Panther, and Geoff McGee from Beer with Friends Podcast while they talk about Cathy’s life, how she became a Gladiator after Storm injured her knee, how her name evolved from Jet to Panther, and about her life after American Gladiators.

Cathy also shares her disappointment about the fact that none of the documentaries that were released made a tribute to William Smith (Thunder) or Shelley Beattie (Siren).
