It’s time for the second of the first round match ups and that brings us Mr. Lou Ferrigno against a stealthy ninja.  This is a true match up of strength and power against speed and agility.  Let’s run down some keys.

Lou Ferrigno is the new Chuck Norris of the internet, don’t debate it.  And is a big and powerful brute.  But I think his key to victory is to get mad because then he becomes the very famous and very green Hulk.  If Hulk comes out to battle this could be over quick.

The ninja definitely will have speed and the art of invisibility on his side.  But can he stick and move to defeat the powerful Ferrigno?  The ninja needs to utilize it’s speed and it’s array of weapons to take the victory.

Now it’s your time to chime in and choose a winner.  The poll is below.  Be sure to leave your comments on your thoughts as well.

So yesterday I was chatting with a friend who was telling me how awesome this blog is and it go me thinking.  I should have a tournament of really awesome things since we are in the spirit of the World Cup tournament.  Except this tournament is a little different.  There will be no group stage and it will be fights to the death!

So here’s the basic concept.  I take 8 really awesome people, animals, fictional characters, etc and I randomly generate match ups for the first round.  I plug them into a bracket and then the fun starts.  Each day will be one match up and the winner will be chosen by your votes.  A poll will be placed and you vote.  Whoever gets the most votes wins that match.  So on and so forth until we have a champion.

And what does the champion win you may ask?  Why the winner will receive congrats from me and knowledge that they were voted by the people as the most awesome thing on the planet that it beat out 7 others for this title.

Now onto choosing the participants.  This wasn’t easy as whole but there were some pretty obvious choices.  You will see below the brackets for the first round.

I have to say that despite that I used a random generator to get the match ups I probably would have picked these exact matches.  I guess the generator was scared of not pleasing me.  But let’s go ahead and do a quick run down of each participant.

• Fedor Emelianenko – “The Last Emperor” is considered by many as one of the greatest MMA fighters in history of the sport.  The one lose of his record is questioned all the time as it was the result of an illegal strike and then a doctor stoppage.  The man shows no emotion in the ring/cage and just tears his opponents a part.
• Homer Simpson – The lovable, clumsy yellow dad in our life shows that awesome comes in all sizes.  But most importantly he has shown the ability to take loads of punishment and gas out his opponents on his way to victory.
• Ninja – Ninjas are a fascination with almost anyone.  Some maybe more than others.  But there is no doubting they are awesome and dangerous.  They are elusive and quick.  Will this be the ninja’s game plan?
• Lou Ferrigno – He’s the newly appointed sweet heart of the internet, he will come into this as a heavy favorite.  He’s big, he’s strong, he’s the f’n Hulk!
• Zombie – Zombies rules.  Plain and simple.  There is no debating it.  Because you can’t reason with a zombie.  While they may be slow they are persistent.  The also only can be defeated by removing the head or destroying the brain.
• Bear – It was tough to choose an animal but I had to choose one that can be on land, since all fights will be contested on land (sorry Atlantis).  And bears are pretty awesome.  Plus after I saw Semi-Pro I figured a bear would be great in a fight versus other competitors.
• Wolverine – Logan is bad ass personified on ink and paper.  The man can heal rapidly.  Has a skeleton made of some absurd mental that no one else knows about.  And he calls people bub.  It takes a sly cat to be able to pull that off.
• Sylar – Yes I know I complained about how awful Heroes got but that doesn’t take away from the fact that Sylar was scary in the first season.  It’s that alone that gets him in this tournament.  His array of different powers will be a force to be reckoned with.

So there you have it, the eight competitors in the Tournament of Really Awesome Stuff Fighting it Out to the Death.  Stay tuned as the first match up will be up tomorrow.

I know this isn’t the most recent news out there but Chuck Norris has stopped taking his meds, and it is not looking good.  The man is in belief of Obama trying to make a “one world order” that would take money away from our country and give it to third world countries.

And as if that delusion isn’t enough he and his wife are fighting to try to have Bible studies in public schools.  Um Chuck?  Haven’t you heard of a little thing called Separation of Church and State?  You haven’t?  Oh so what about private schools?  You certainly have heard of them I assume.  These types of schools usually have some sort of Bible study or religion classes.  If you are so concerned with kids “learning” about the Bible then pony up and pay for them to go to private school your damn self.

So with these recent events that make Chuck no longer look like the manly icon that he was across the internet for so long I think a new hero is needed.  Someone new to take the reigns of the internet community and not leave us disappointed.  For this position I can think of only one man, Lou Ferrigno.

Now you might be asking yourself, “Why Lou Ferrigno?”  Well I’m glad you asked because I was all set to explain why.

First off he’s American.  Just like Chuck Norris, this is a necessity as Americans embody all that is bad ass.  Lou can eat red, white and blue crayons (they still make the white ones right?) and shit out an American flag.  Don’t ask where the cloth comes from.  He’s Lou Ferrigno.

Secondly and lastly, he’s the fucking Hulk!  You piss that man off and he doesn’t need a third fist behind his beard.  He turn green, wears ripped up clothes and fucks peoples’ days up.

Ladies and gentleman of the interwebs.  I give to you our new savior.  Lou Ferrigno!
