MXC was a game show featuring unwitting contestants who were violently eliminated through extreme challenges. This involved near impossible stunts high above dank pools of muck in which the contestants often fell into.



Due to the violent nature of the game's challenges, many humiliated contestants suffered crippling injuries.



Such injuries included a wide range of physical, reproductive, and mental health issues.



Under protest from the World Health Organization and other human rights groups, Spike TV eventually canceled MXC in 1990, but they still played uncensored re-runs from 1 to 3 AM.



The Japanese version of MXC (Takeshi's Death Castle) continued to be popular throughout Asia with more extreme challenges including tear gas, pepper spray, bee swarms, cactus, scorpions, and quick-sand pits.



Many contestants of Takeshi's Death Castle were reported to be "missing in action" and thus were never seen again.
