Spike's Deadliest Warrior

Who would win? Samuri or Viking? Ninja or Spartan? Gladiator or Apache?

The age-old question. Whenever more than one guy is sitting in a room, this conversation will emerge. Who's stronger? Who's faster? Which is better?

Spike TV decided to create a show to answer the question. Deadliest Warrior takes two ancient warriors and pits them in battle using a computer simulation. The analysis consists of the lethal power a weapon would have.

And this show rarely proves anything.

The most important aspect of a warrior is it's defense. Without defense, the battle would be over based off of who can land a blow first. But the show analysts don't factor armor or defensive maneuvers.

Obviously they need to test every aspect of the battle, but that would be too complicated for Spike TV viewers.

Nice to see a return, humorous post. They'll make a show out of anything these days.
