Crush is actually a professional mma fighter, named Gina Carano. Quite a good fighter as well still undefeated. I believe she has a fight coming up in February on an Elite XC card. Same card as Kimbo V.S. Tank Abbott.

I'm going to miss the mullets, perms, and feathered bangs from the original! Awesome show

When and where is it airing?

[Prototype]

Get rid of Wolf, and you gots yourself a hit... a hit I tell ya!

Campy, but guilty pleasure, that's for damn sure. Long live Helga!

2 hour premiere was on tonight from 7 pm - 9 pm on NBC.

[Fobby]

It's on CityTV right now

Does anyone remember that Rico guy from the old ones? He came on the show and dominated the gladiators.

I doubt that anyone remembers...

[Jiggy_12]

Wolf sucks.

The rest is the over-the-top cheesy BS that I remember and love!

Nothing is better than the eliminator. Swimming under fire? Awesome.

[rockstar]

Brutal. I don't remember the old one being faked, like wrestling. This one is definitely staged.

Disappointed.

[Hack&Lube]

If they are going to fake it, they should just make the whole thing campy, make mullets mandatory. And it's just not the same if everybody doesn't look like Captain America had sex with Super Dave Osborne. These new costumes are just generic black/silver crap.

[keratosis]

I like girls.

[Incogneto]

The interviews sounded too scripted...hated that.

[SteveToms]

Wolf reminds me of a Ben Stiller character just bulked up

[Locke]

Hulk Hogan reminds me of the Edmonton Oilers. Cashing in on the 80s and hoping it'll pay enough to see him through to retirement.

[D to the iddy]

This one needs to be chalked up in the "So bad that it's good" column...

And ditto on the crush on Crush comment... Hawt!

[Rhetts_the_Best]

What do you mean by faking it? The contestants getting chucked around like rag dolls seemed pretty real to me. Reminded me of Chara man handling McCabe.

I actually quite liked the show; it's purposely tongue in cheek which is humorous, but there is also an element of reality/MXC to it all that keeps it engaging.

And no love for Wolf?!! I thought he was one of the best, just so stupidly over the top, but even better is that he knows it. Barking like a dog while the camera is on him, and then you can see him laughing his ass off in the background of the next scene.

Agree about Crush! She's the only one I didnt see a suspicious bulge at the crotch...

I can't believe AG is back on TV. In Hi-Def. On NBC. In prime time.

It was heavily edited, but still enjoyable. That eliminator looked really tough, particularly that ramp at the end. Those competitors were just exhausted afterwards.
