Smackdown, Anyone?

Us: Hey you know what this site needs?

Peanut Gallery: Better writers?

Us: Bite Us!

No no, what this site needs is more impotent nerd rage. No one has insulted Robbierobtown for his non opinions on Green Lantern in so long he’s calling 1-900 numbers and asking THEM to call him an encephalitic cum eating intern.

That is not right people.

That’s why, sometime this week, The Correctness is going to sit down, eat for more food than is healthy for men of our advancing age group and talk about yet another Smackdown. As much as we’d all like to invite you out for said lunch, we know the scheduling would be a nightmare. We can’t even schedule a dinner with someone who won a contest, much less all 12 of you who regularly read the site. So instead, we offer you this spot to make your opinions known, what kind of a Smackdown would you like to see next? Here are a few suggestions that are already on the table.

Movie Action Hero Smackdown (Indy versus James Bond, that kind of thing)

Mega Power Smackdown
(Thanos, Galactus, and that large headed crowd)

Loser Smackdown (A best of the worst, who is the least lame of the world’s lamest superheroes)

Ladies on Ladies Smackdown (All female superheroes. This may or may not involve spontaneous lesbianism. But knowing Rob, the chances are pretty good.)

The Same/Same Smackdown (Similar powered heroes from different universes, Green Arrow vs. Hawkeye, Quicksilver Vs. Flash, that kind of thing)

If you have any suggestions, go right ahead and lay em on us. Also, if you could say something nasty to Rob, he’d appreciate it.

I like the Idea of the Loser smack down and the Same Same smack down.

I would love a video game smack down but I feel it would just be T-bins debating himself and rob making an educated guesstimation by looking at box art.

Wait…theres 12 of us?

I was guestimating. Perhaps rather generously.

Also, how about a Babes of Sci-Fi smackdown?

[Reply To This Comment]

same same i think would suck, mainly cause i wouldnt know half of the contestants although i do predict large amounts of impotent nerd rage. chick on chick smackdown … i predict no nerd rage as they will all only have one hand and it sucks to type like that. no one cares about mega super heros (op’ed bastards). Action Heros would kick ass and provoke more angry comments than … well something that would get a lot of angry comments. the losers fight would be plain funny. BUT MY VOTE (in the spirit of all things correct) goes to … drum roll please … IF I HAD A TIME MACHINE CASTING COUCH SMACKDOWN. thank you and goodnight.

So, sort of a “Audrey Hepburn as Kitty Pryde vs.Rita Hayworth as Wonder Woman”…on a casting couch, Kina thing?

How about a team vs. team smackdown? GI Joe v. Avengers kinda thing

Could be tough if two Marvel teams meet. Isn’t Wolverine on just about every team they have? (Who knew he was such a joiner?)

[Reply To This Comment]

admin_rock Reply:

This is one of the top 3 irritating things about Marvel. It makes no sense at all that Wolverine would be an Avenger. I think it’s stupid that Spider-Man is one as well, but at least Spidey has the time.

Marvel is still in the “pimp the character out into every possible book” mode.

How about a Correctness Smackdown. A three way round robin tournament (I’m sure RobbieRobTown’s mom knows about those) to find out who is the most correct.

[Reply To This Comment]

admin_rock Reply:

Well, if it’s a Nerd off, I’d give the Prog Rock and Rush, Monty Python, and Star Wars categories to Tbinns, the quirky facts and Star Trek categories to RRT, and the Comics, 80′s Alternative music and Dr Who categories to me.

The “Same /Same Smackdown” at first glance I saw as “Sesame / Sesame Smackdown”. That could be cool to.

Gordon vs Mr. Hooper
Snuffy vs. Elmo

or mix it up Sesame / Muppet Show / Fraggle Rock Smackdown

Pigs in space Vs The Tweedle bugs
Oscar Vs The Great Trash Heep
The Doozers Vs Rizzo

On a side note I’ve always been curious about what would happen if a Zombie bit a Gnapp (if you remember the Smurfs you should recall the Gnapps… Purple Ass biting Smurfs).

Or a Gnap, bites a Zombie.

GNAP! GNAP! GNAP!

I like the team vs. team, Like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Vs. The Masters of the Universe. Or maybe Thundercats Vs. The Autobots.

What about something to do with music? Maybe an epic rock-off, or pehaps a Even a musician death match, ( Who doesn’t want to hear about Geddy Lee getting his ass beat in by Steven Tyler?)

[Reply To This Comment]

Tbinns Reply:

Uhhhh…Geddy would kick Steve Tyler’s ass. Steve Can’t even stand on stage without falling off anymore.

Geddy Lee is a national treasure

Muppets Smackdown in general sounds promising; don’t have to keep it all Sesame Street and Muppet Show, ’cause there have been quite a few movies with Jim Henson’s critters in them…

Could also have a SitCom Smackdown… Big Bang Theory vs Third Rock, for example, if you wanna go past vs present… Or evening TV in general, I suppose… House vs ER? lol This could get really silly… But I kind of like silly.

Or, just to annoy Craig Ferguson could do a Late Night War, because he hates that (he says he loves Jimmy Fallon)… But who wouldn’t still love to say snarky things about Leno? Or is that old hat now?

How about a Video Game Hero smackdown? Link vs. Cloud vs. John Marston vs. Kratos vs. Mario. That could be fairly awesome.

[Reply To This Comment]

Tomass Reply:

You’d have to leave Mega-man out it would get too lop-sided. With every win he would be exponentially stronger.

[Reply To This Comment]

n8 Reply:

Only in offense though. He’s still only got the one lifebar (plus e-tanks), no matter how many weapons he has at his disposal. All Samus has to do is grapple-beam him over to a bed of spikes and he’ll pop like the little blue water balloon that he is.

Spikes… oh the dreaded spikes. The bane of all video game characters.

What about, and try to remain sane after reading this…

Goats on Bikes VS. Monkeys on Goats

Don’t forget those of us who read the site in secret so it can’t be backtraced by the cyber police.

I’m all for an all-girl smackdown. It’s about time we got the recognition we deserve!!

[Reply To This Comment]

admin_rock Reply:

Of course, if RRT gets a hold of an all-girl smackdown, I’m not sure it would be the empowering spectacle you’re hoping for.

But it would have LOTS of scissoring.

deepfriedcheese Reply:

Let’s not pretend the lesbianism in the powder puff smackdown would be spontaneous. It would be more than premeditated. There would be charts, graphs, and Venn diagrams involved in the planning and execution of those acts.

[Reply To This Comment]

I’d like to see all of them, but the movies heroes sounds particularly intriguing.

[Reply To This Comment]

How about a smackdown of impossible odds? Like Superman versus the Carebears? (colorful, loving splat) Wolverine versus Hello Kitty (she is two apples tall and only weighs three apples). If you want to stick to real super heroes, it more like Wonderwoman versus Elektra, Magneto versus Robin the boy wonder (crunch).

[Reply To This Comment]

A battle of the “normals” might be good, too. No meta-humans allowed. The Punisher, Street Fighter’s Ryu, Ninja Gaiden’s Ryu, Snake Eyes from GI Joe, etc.

Bruce Wayne would bankroll the event, naturally.

If I’m one of the 12 disciples of Correctness, worshiping at the feet of the Holy Trinity of Correctness…

Can I be Judas? Those 30 silver coins would be super handy. Unless they are Canadian quarters.

It makes sense, we get crucified in the comment section every time we do one of these things.

[Reply To This Comment]

Ooo, am I number 13 then? I vote Same/Same Smackdown!

[Reply To This Comment]

How about FPS game character vs each other. Gordon Freeman vs Marcus and so on…
