Arena was a G4 (formerly G4techTV) TV show hosted by Lee Reherman and Kevin Pereira. It is devoted entirely to teams competing against one another via multiplayer video games.
Some video games overlap episodes, such as Unreal Tournament 2004 and Call of Duty. Teams are also given a chance to talk about themselves and explain the origin of their team name. Some notable team names include Team Mizota (named for Diane Mizota of Filter), Team Vulgar, Team Corpse Factory, Team Domination Creation Station Nation, and Team ZoMBiE, who won the Tournament of Champions in 2004 to become the Ultimate Arena Champions.
The show was originally hosted by Wil Wheaton and Travis Oates, but both hosts left due to issues between them and the producer. [1] They were replaced by Reherman and Michael Louden before the current hosts were introduced. After a long hiatus and run on G4, Arena was finally removed from G4's schedule on July 2006.
Currently, the show airs on the G4 block, G4 Rewind.
