‘Celebrity Deathmatch’ Is Returning To MTV2

After refusing to tap out, and other wrestling terms our friends at With Spandex use,Celebrity Deathmatch is returning to television (again). The original iteration of the claymation series ran from 1998-2002, pitting the likes of Bono, Fabio, and Yoko Ono against each other. It was then resurrected by MTV2 in 2006; a year later, thrown away again, like a cup of hardened Play-Doh. But the public thirst for nostalgia, and seeing James Hetfield stuff Fred Durst with metal objects using a vacuum cleaner, is strong, so MTV2 is giving Deathmatchanother shot.

Eight years after its six-season run came to an end, Celebrity Deathmatch creator Eric Fogel and Wasteland Entertainment are behind the new incarnation, with Chris McCarthy and Paul Ricci also on board as EPs. The new version will again featured animated no-holds barred fantasy fights between infamous figures from entertainment and pop culture and be reimagined for a social media world and hourly Twitter wars. (Via)
The question remains, who should the first fight be? Some suggestions:
Katy Perry vs. Taylor Swift
Patton Oswalt vs. Salon’s editorial board
Ikea Monkey vs. Left Shark vs. Keyboard Cat in the battle of obsolete memes
Bill Cosby vs. Woody Allen
Emeril Lagasse vs. Two Fat Ladies battle from the original Deathmatch. Holds up super well!

Ah, the good ole days. I'm excited, just as long as TRL never comes back.

Id rather see Taylor Switft vs Kanye. Make Kanye die crying like a bitch. He'd hate that.

Didn't they try this with Beavis and butt head and it worked for like an episode or two..
The mtv brand has severely tarnished its reputation for its bullshite programming of the past 15 years.
I won't watch because I don't want to accidentally leave my tv on their station.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Just like the Beavis & Butthead revival, it sounds awesome in theory but probably no one will bother to watch.

Beavis and Butthead new episodes were funny though

I loved this show in its original run. The redo a few years later wasn't nearly as good imo and the animation seemed off comparatively. I don't see how this will be any different

Yeah I loved the new beavis and buttheads

Hell yeah. This was a great mtv show. Beavis and Butthead reboot wasn't bad. Before you know it we will have a jackass reboot.

These idiots don't realize that the people watching their station now aren't the same that made them successful. the people who watch now are the idiots that watch super sweet 16 and teen mom, not us cool kids from the 90s. the only show i ever consider turning on mtv for is silent library and even that shite gets old after an episode or two.

I'll watch for nostalgia purposes.. At least once or twice...

This.
The people that would enjoy this show do not watch MTV, and they will not be turning it to MTV anytime soon. I highly doubt this will work.

It was kind of dog shitty when they brought it back the first time.
I HATE how they sell the episodes online. Instead of doing it straight episode to episode like most shows, they do it by type of people in the fight (athletes are all considered one episode, movie stars are another one) and it completely removes the interactions between the announcers, sideline peoples, and the referee.
