The project might eventually have some competition. Discovery Channel earlier this year announced it’s developing a next-generation robot combat show called Robogeddon, produced by heavy hitters James Cameron and Mark Burnett. Robot Combat League is ready to go, however, having just wrapped production on its first season last week.

That said, there is a first-mover advantage at times, the concept is probably combat robotics' best shot in a decade to become relevant again in the minds of most. Chris Jericho is a good pick as host, considering his experience in sports entertainment (or professional wrestling, take your pick). The limiting factor beyond the quality of the show (which none of us have seen) may be Syfy itself, since it doesn't draw the attention of some of the bigger networks in NBCUniversal's family.
We shall see.
