[Igarappappa]

One of the few fights that didn't end in death.

I miss celebrity death match. I wish it came back.

[garthdavis]

I miss this series. It shouldn’t have been canceled. So many fantasy celebrity fights to use.

[adrian_veidt]

I need that time machine to go back to the 90's

[K.J.S.est]

First Beavis and Butt-Head gets revived and then Clone High. Now we just need Celebrity Deathmatch and the trifecta of the revival of popular MTV Animation properties will be complete!

I guess in the long run, Busta and William both ended up winning

This was my favorite show growing up!! I was born in 99’ but was raised on old MTV and Nickelodeon shows (I am my parents 5th kid so they stopped caring what I watched). Rocket Power, All That, Celebrity Deathmatch, Legends of the Hidden Temple, Beavis and Butthead, I could go on and on. Please post more!

haha Busta and Shakespeare switched timelines and they both killin it. I'm weak

[haunted]

If I fell through a door and a guy welcomes me to the 90's, I'd be very happy

[JahRandom]

Lmao! God the subtlety of this show!! There are so many deep cut jokes in every single fight that the average viewer wouldn't even understand. Starting at 3:51 when it's a first person view from Shakespeare, it's views Busta with a fish eye lense just like so many of his music videos from back then. So cool!

[logon]

Somebody needs to make a petition to bring back Celebrity Deathmatch.

[Igarappappa]

I don't know why, but I find the idea that Nick is such an expert on the history of Rap that it was him who was tasked with updating Shakespeare on the genre hilarious.

"Ouch, Shakespeare watch thy aim!"

[crushedhearts]

Still watching in 2022. Need a time machine to bring this show back.

[charlesderosas]

[FresnoBoystar]
