I watched this the first time it was on and was hooked.

Does anyone else want a DNA test on Hellga??

Ditto.

And what I watched for about 20 minutes was 'ok'.. not as Hollywood as I thought it would be, but still a little bit more theatrical than I'd like.

I went to high school with Siren. She looks a little different than she used to.

I thought Hulk Hogan and Leila Ali did a pretty bad job as hosts. I'll keep watching it, though. I used to love that show.

I agree about the hosts....I don't remember in the original, but there wasn't a "quasi" celebrity host, was there???????????

I'm on the fence . . . It seemed a little to campy and pro-wrestling to me.

A knee blow-out first episode/first event - too soon . . . . more drama spreading that out.

Whats with the Tribal warrior dude and Wolf!? Howling and tribal chanting? C'mon. Too cheesy.

I surfed between that and the republican debate and found the republican debate more entertaining at most times.

Well yes. Although I agree with whomever suggested earlier that Hellga might need a DNA test...
