Q&A: The Challenge legend Wes Bergmann on why All-Stars Season 3 was a surprising ‘uphill battle’

We spoke with the two-time champ.

Wes Bergmann hasn’t retired from MTV’s The Challenge and doesn’t plan to anytime soon.

But he’s still a former champion (twice) who has been a part of the competition series for a long time — since 2006’s Fresh Meat, to be exact. And that means he more than qualifies for the Paramount+ spinoff, The Challenge: All-Stars.

He’s joining a star-studded cast filled with only former competitors who have made it to past finals. And as you’ll see, he says it’s a super-talented lineup that immediately targeted him from the moment he stepped off the plane.

Here’s our conversation with Bergmann about this upcoming season, the GOATs in the series’ history and more.
