Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as Ben Richards, a cop in the totalitarian America of 2019, framed for massacring rioting civilians during a famine. After escaping from jail, Richards tries to prove his innocence, but his efforts are thwarted at every turn by a regime in need of a scapegoat.

Answer: That was the syndicated Battle Dome, which was produced from 1999 to 2001, Sandy. On the show, three contestants competed in various extreme events against a host of fictional warriors, the best two contestants squaring off in a battle for $1,000 and a chance at a $100,000 championship.

The warriors' names and personalities demonstrated that someone behind the scenes was definitely paying attention to pro wrestling, American Gladiators, and, most likely, The Running Man and Mortal Kombat to boot.
