Guest Post: The Deadliest Warrior

The Deadliest Warrior is an original show where battle experts take two different warrior types from different eras and pit them against each other in a virtual arena. Using highly advanced technology, the two different factions test sets of weapons against ballistic dummies to determine effective combat damage. These tests are then input into a massive database and an advanced computer program simulates a mythical battle between the two warriors. The Deadliest Warrior is an astonishingly addictive show that keeps the viewer coming back for more. Each week new combatants face off against each other with new sets of weaponry from different eras and the battles are always epic.

The Deadliest Warrior uses two distinct warrior types for these competitions, ancient warriors who primarily rely on swords, spears, and armor and modern day warriors who rely on machine guns and hand grenades. Personally, I prefer the ancient warrior battles to the modern ones as the weaponry was so varied and ancient fighting relied mush more heavily on the skill of the combatants than modern day warfare does. In Season one of the show there were many great battles, but my personal favorite was the duel between the Spartan and the Samurai for the Deadliest Ancient Warrior title of season one. I remember sitting in my chair watching the show on my DirecTV satellite tv on the edge of my seat as the Spartan and Samurai experts tested their weaponry. When the final battle took place, it was an epic fight that took many factors into account. I don’t want to spoil the show so I won’t give results, just rest assured that the battle was amazing.

The Deadliest Warrior is a creative and unique show that will mainly appeal to history and war buffs, but anybody interested in excellent shows should check it out. It may not be acceptable for small children however, but for teenagers it is quite an informative show regarding history and the different factions that participate, and will make the learning that much more fun.

The show sounds really really interesting!! And it incorporates a lot of historic facts about weapons. I'm curious, very, very curious. I should ask my English prof (ex-English prof) about it since he loves things like this. If you've seen it let me know more about it! Wikipedia talks about it but I would like to know if it's worth watching. 

Edit: Someone told me what they thought of the show:

the deadliest warrior is actually a really cool show

i saw one that had the vikings against the samurai

i think the samurai won
