In 2012, with 12 seasons in, Discovery Channel eventually announced the show would go off air with a special called “The Chopper Live: The Revenge”.
This entire special featured a competition with Paul Jr. up against his father, Jesse James, and the Team Fast ‘n Loud, Teutel. Paul Jr. ended up winning again with his New York inspired bike, while Paul Sr. finished in fourth place.
Paul Sr. The Marine
Did you know that Paul Sr. actually served in the US army? He was even involved in Vietnam!
He was a part of the United States Merchant Marines, a privately owned vessel that is allowed to be government-controlled during wartime.
Tattoo Addict
It’s already pretty obvious but Paul Sr. has always had a reputation for getting tatted up. There was even an entire episode dedicated to his special ink addiction! Additionally, he was even featured on Miami Ink.
According to him, he gets tattoos when he’s feeling emotional. It makes sense considering the amount of drama he’s been through!
American Body Shop
You know a show has reached its popularity when there are parodies made about it! American Body Shop was one of the improvisational comedies on Comedy Central that parodied the show.
Unfortunately, it was canceled after one season, but the laughs were undeniable!
The Donald
It was pretty shocking to find out that Paul Sr. was actually a contestant on Celebrity Apprentice 5!
Unfortunately, he ended up being fired by Donald Trump during their April episode. That must have been a blow!
