He was the second-half season champion of "American Gladiators" and, for the 1990-1991 American Gladiators Grand Championship, faced off against Las Vegas police officer (and future World Wrestling Entertainment performer) Rico Costantino, who was the first-half season champion. Branham won the championship in a close competition that is still talked about today. Featured in the 1984 book "Blonds" which featured sketches and color photographs of 40 or so young men with varying degrees of "blondness."
