Spears and swords in well trained hands and formations, yep, great stuff... i'm definitely saddened by the demise of Deadliest Warrior on Spike, i guess they just ran out of interesting matchups.
I forget the name of the show because it was so short lived, but Spike did a show with Richard Mackowicz (sp?) the ex-SEAL, where special-ops units from various nations would compete against each other taking down various targets, it was very cool to see the (not real units, but thrown together for tv) individuals and their varying tactics.
If i had to guess why its not still on, i wouldnt guess lack of viewers, its that the military didnt want enemies seeing strengths and weaknesses played out on live tv.
