Because why not?

Everything’s getting remade, rebooted, or revived nowadays. Celebrity Deathmatch is another in a long trend of revived shows, but that doesn’t mean we’re not excited. The Hollywood Reporter had the exclusive, saying:

"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 executive producers. The new version will again feature animated no-holds-barred fantasy fights between infamous figures from entertainment and pop culture and will be reimagined for a social media world and hourly Twitter wars."

And this raises a good point: A lot has changed since the show was first on. Social media has revolutionized the world in ways both good and bad, the bad making perfect fodder for a show like this. No more info yet (release date, stars, etc.), but who would you like to see fight it out? Taylor Swift and Katy Perry? Drake and Eminem?

This is like the 3rd or 4th time they have brought it back to MTV2
