He is also known for his time inTotal Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), where he is a former two-timeTNA World Tag Team Champion withRobbie E asThe BroMans.
Prior to professional wrestling, he appeared as a contestant on two seasons of theCBS reality competition programBig Brother.
Godderz was born inMason City, Iowa, and raised on a farm inRudd, Iowa.[4] When he was 19 years old, he worked as a conductor for theUnion Pacific Railroad. He became a professional bodybuilder with the World Natural Body Building Federation, and also became a Pro Wrestler, usually serving as "enhancement talent" with a higher loss-to-win ratio in order to highlight more successful wrestlers.
In the summer of 2008, Godderz appeared as a contestant in the10th season ofBig Brother. During week 1,Head of Household Jerry nominated Godderz and fellow contestant Renny for elimination. He, however, won thePower of Veto and was able to remove himself from the chopping block. In week 2, Godderz won the Head of Household competition and nominated Steven and Dan for elimination. He was again nominated for elimination in week 3 but survived the eviction. Godderz was eliminated in week 4 by a 4–3 vote after being nominated for elimination by April with fellow contestant Memphis. He returned to the house for one day only on Day 60 as part of a luxury competition.
The following summer, Godderz returned toBig Brother for the11th season. The twist for the season was that the HouseGuests would be split into four cliques. During the first Head of Household competition on the premiere episode, Godderz entered the house after his clique, the athletes, won the competition. Godderz was therefore named the first Head of Household of the season. On Day 19, Godderz once again became Head of Household. On Day 40, Jeff exercised the power ofCoup d'État and named Godderz and fellow contestant Natalie as the nominees up for eviction. He was evicted on Day 40 by a vote of 3–2, becoming the first member of the Jury—a group of former HouseGuests that decide the competition winner.
Since appearing on bothBig Brother 10 andBig Brother 11, Godderz has returned to the series for surprise visits.
Godderz then returned as a part of thePandora's Box twist. DuringBig Brother 12, he offered Head of Household Britney fitness advice after she opened the box.
DuringBig Brother 13, Pandora's Box offered the HouseGuests a shopping spree withTori Spelling. However, Rachel, the Head of Household, was locked inside Pandora's Box with Godderz for a shopping spree of "Mr. Pec-tacular" merchandise while the rest of the house earned the shopping spree with Spelling.
He made another appearance onBig Brother 14 when Head of Household Ian opened Pandora's Box. As a result, Godderz came into the house asSecret Santa and replaced all of the HouseGuests' junk food with healthier food.
He made another appearance onBig Brother 16 on a special Media Day episode of the series that aired exclusively on CBS.com.
