This show was off the hook. It gave good insight to the different worlds of martial arts and kept you hooked by the storylines. All the actors on the show were actual martial artists and know how to entertain a crowd. It was fun seeing the titles jump from person to person.

I loved watching WMAC Masters and would like to see it on TV again. I think maybe it was ahead of it's time & would get better ratings now. Especially if they aired it on Spike TV. I love watching UFC & Pro's Vs Joe's etc. As beautiful as Shannon Lee is, the guys would probably watch it just to see her. My husband has never heard of the show and I would love for him to see it. He has always said he would like to see a martial arts show where people actually fight. Usually when you find martial arts on TV they are just going through routines (drills) -I can't remember what that is called. That's when I told him about WMAC Masters. If & when I find it on DVD - I will purchase a copy.
This television series was good. It featured real martial artists competing against each other for the dragon star, the award given to the greatest martial artist. There also is stunts the superstars perform that you have to see to believe. They also tell you about achieving your goals in life in order to be successful. All in all, this show is good but not great.
A wonderful return down amnesia lane. I use to watch this show as a kid. As a martial artist I looked up to these guys a bit although I was never on their level. I actually met Chris Casamassa once although I doubt he will remember. This was a good show that never had a chance.
As a former student of one of the "Masters", I was very disappointed to see the show dropped by Fox. Instead of watching stunt doubles in rubber suits fighting monsters in cardboard cities, WMAC took the stunt doubles and gave them personalities. Most of the characters were really based off of the actors' personas and nicknames. Add in some stories that were meant to inspire the good in young viewers (brothers helping one another, respect for others property, etc.) and this show was better than 90% of the drivel on Saturday mornings.
As the show was being shown, I had the opportunity to meet many of the stars and each of them really did care for young people. Here's hoping TV studios take some time and show respect to the families watching their shows instead of throwing the next violent and materialistic retread from Japan.

- TriviaIt was initially planned for the series to be set in Las Vegas, at a fictional themed hotel/casino where the Masters trained and competed for high stakes. Accordingly, their Dragon Belt-status would determine the odds and subsequent payoffs (5 to 6, 7 to 4, 3 to 8, 9 to 2, and so on) except during Dragon Star Matches (in which the odds would be 11 to 10). This idea was promptly nixed, however, out of concern that the show might encourage gambling among young people.
