Over the course of the second season I think the show got a lot better. By cutting the show down to an hour they cut most of the 'contestant story' from in season one. The pacing just felt all-around better. They even cut back on the cheesy 'suspenseful' commerical breaks, although I wish they'd just cut those out completely.

Is this coming back for another season? I know the ratings were not as good with the second season.

No idea about a renewal, but I am kinda going to miss it on Monday nights. I only noticed in the last show that Gina Carano and Mike Morgan were mentioned in the credits as being allowed to participate thanks to their respective organizations (Elite XC and TNA). I wouldn't be surprised if Carano is not back again, since Elite XC is trying to make her the face of the women's division (unless she gets beaten by that Cyborg chick before that).

Did this show get cancelled or did I totally miss the season finale?

That is why I don't watch the show. 95% of all contestants are in the 5'10 range and normal to smaller builds. My buddies and I went to an open tryout (we are all big athletic guys) and they had no interest in any of us. They need to keep up the perception that these dudes are abnormal, when they would get owned against guys their size. Dean Cain is an amazing athlete, but very, very short, and he owned the old school Gladiators and they were much better athletes than the new ones.
