I love the highly experimental nature of the first season. You have the legendary Joe Theismann as an early announcer, and Mike Adamle actually demonstrating how the events worked. Larry Thompson was a great referee but I always loved the executioner style ref of the first season.

This early half-season may be rough but you have to admit, this style of Assault is way more interesting than when they used basic platforms for all the stages.

So it seems like we’re going back to the beginning, and possibly showing all of the missing episodes, including any Special Celebrity, Sports, or Military Episodes along the way. We as fans at least deserve that much, to have the Full Series shown in its Entirety.

Powerball: "There's going to be a little bit of meat slapping around". Well said Mr commentator.
