Spike announced the line up for Deadliest Warrior season 2 today, 1st episode airs on April 20th at 10/9c. I enjoyed the first season. It was fun seeing how the weapons were used and how much damaged it caused. Although it was enjoyable, some match ups didn’t make sense because it was team oriented, like the Yakuza vs. the Italian mob. They just tested their weapons instead of analyzing their strategies. For the second season, I hope they change this. Below is the lineup and my predictions:
SWAT vs. GSG-9
Prediction: I live in Southern Cali and I see the S.W.A.T. in the news all the time. These guys will just camp for 4 hours while trying to negotiate with the bad guys. Based on this, I’ll go with GSG-9. The only reference I can give for GSG-9 was in Bourne Supremacy when they raided a hotel. Even though they didn’t catch Jason Bourne, they attacked the rooms without hesitation!
Attila the Hun vs. Alexander the Great
Prediction: Alexander the Great is one of the baddest man to walk on this planet, too bad he became feminine in Oliver Stone’s movie. He fought alongside his men and a brilliant strategist to boot. Attila is no slouch either but his strategy wasn’t as complicated as Alexander’s.
Aztec Jaguar vs. Zande Warrior
Prediction: This will come down to their shields. The Aztecs seems to have sturdier defense so I’m going with the Jaguars.
Jesse Games Gang
Jesse James Gang vs. Al Capone Gang
Prediction: If it’s just based on weapons, Al Capone all the way because they have tommy guns. If they include strategy, Jesse James because they’re familiar with scouting and controlling the situations.
Roman Centurion vs. India’s Rajput Warrior
Prediction: This is about even to me but the centurions have heavier armor so I’ll go with the Romans
Somali Pirate vs. Medellin Cartel
Prediction: I’ve read Killing Pablo, which is about Pablo Escobar, the head of Medellin Cartel. These guys were no joke and highly sophisticated. Somali pirates have balls but it’s easier for them to execute their criminal activities because they live in a lawless country. Pablo became one of the most powerful men in the world even though the U.S. and Colombian government were after him. This should be an easy win for Medellin.
Nazi SS vs. Viet Cong
Prediction: If it’s in a plain battlefield, NAZI SS for sure. They invaded countries and won in days. Viet Cong would win if they fought in the jungle.
KGB vs. CIA
Prediction: This is tough because they’re both secretive. CIA is more secretive and less on the news, so that probably means they screw up less. Which means they’re better.
Immortals depicted in wall mural
Persian Immortal vs. Celt
Prediction: Don’t know much about either one. The immortals were crap in 300. The Celts reminds me of William Wallace. I’ll go with the Celts because they have heavier and longer weapons. The immortals won’t be able to penetrate…not in that way of course!
Vlad the Impaler vs. Sun Tzu
Prediction: Sun Tzu wrote the Art Of War, which is studied by militaries all over the world today. Can’t get any more renowned than that. Tzu by ass whoopin.
Ming Warrior vs. Musketeer
Prediction: Musketeer because they have muskets…..
Comanche vs. Mongol
Prediction: The Comanche Tribe were part of the Windtalkers during WW2. They’re brave and badass but it won’t be enough against the Mongols. The mongols were great archers and whooped ass in close quarter combat. Mongols by beat down.
Navy Seal vs. Israeli Commando
Prediction: I’ll go with the battle hardened Israeli Commandos. These guys go to war with their neighboring countries all the time. Navy Seals kick ass but they’re better for surprise attacks.
Who do you guys have?

I like how you complain about the show bot taking in to account stratagy yet when you speak of swat you don’t take into consideration department procedures an when you speak of their opponent all you have to mention is what you saw in a movie. Please research your facts before you make vauge inaccurate statements based on fiction

When I started seeing previews for Season 2 of DW, and saw that the SEALs were going to be part of the lineup, I got psyched. I thought, “No way anybody they pit against them could win. Well, except maybe Israeli SpecOps . . . well, anybody else, SEALs have got ’em beat hands down.”
Speak of the Devil, and cue thoughts of “Fffffffffffff-“. Glad it’s gonna be the last episode, though. It’s gonna be intense, and gives me something to look forward to.

I thought it was funny when you compared the immortal to the celt . First of the persian immortal in 300 looked like ninjas and were made to be killed. They were called immortals because if one would die another would take its place and they only had light armor and a whicker shield. The celt (or gaul depending who is calling them what) I found even funnier as their are many quotes by ancient historians such as Plato saying they some of the stronger men fought naked but that depends what time period because that was the early roman republic and you said they had better armor. By the way Celt is what the breeks called northern barbarian tribes and Gauls were what they called by the Romans.

Instead of the nazi ss vs the viet cong, i think it would be more epic if they had nazi ss vs imperial japanese solier (of WWII)

NAZI SS -vs- VietCong makes sense because:
Even though at first glance the Nazi SS is the more powerful force based on their accomplishments, keep in mind that technology-wise, they are quite a bit BEHIND the VietCong. Their weapons of World War II is significantly worse than cold war ear weapons of the VietCong.
Sturmgewehr 44 vs AK-47? The AK-47 easily smokes the Sturmgewehr. AK-47 still roams around today, and arguably the greatest assault rifle of all times (as opposed to being the first one).

any match-up with with hollywood actors would be stupid. i don’t know why viewers still insist on it happening. it’s fiction people (mostly stunts that take multiple takes to get right). they should stick with the REAL warriors of the past and present and at least make sure this season that the technology is remotely equal. they need to include some of these people in their battles:
Genghis Khan
Napoleon Bonaparte
Hannibal
Julius Caesar
Scipio Africanus
Sun Tzu
Trajan
Rodrigo Diaz
Miyamoto Musashi
or a general warrior like these:
Highlander
Janissary
Cataphract
Hwarang
Cossack
There’s alot more out there. these are just off the top of my head. the reason they don’t do movie and fictional caracters is because it’s retarded you morons. it’s a serious show about real skill used over time and not to be made a mockery of.

I don’t know what u guys think about this idea but here it goes. When deadliest warrior rubs out of all the real warriors, maybe they could take the video game ones (ex. Halo 3 Spartan, GoW Gears, Kratos (God of War series) etc? I’m just throwing this out there

you have got to be the biggest idiot on the planet….. you are judging the persian immortals based on a shitty propaganda movie. well here are some REAL facts about persian immortals. around 500 BC the persian empire stretched from india all the way to greece and part of the northern africa all thanks to the great fightings of the persian immortals. you really need to make some changes

I have to say the Mongolian and Comanche match-up on paper is one sided. Mongolian Empire had better horses, better bow skill, and incredible skill at the sword, also Mongolians had very good catapults.
Comanche had great axe’s and were excellent shots with the bow also. I have to say with the Mongolian having armor on themselves and their ponies I’m giving a slight edge to Chingiz Khan.

Vlad Dracula killed 200,000 people by impalment. This doesnt include the people he killed by roasting, burning, drowning, skinning, and the bloody battles he and his army fought everyday. They defeated the goddamn Ottoman empire!
Sun Tzu wrote a book. Infact, he may or may have not even exist, as the Art of War is the only proof of his existence and people are starting to say it was written by multiple war lords.
When you take Dracula, the Son of the Devil, and put him against Sun Tzu, a dude who wrote a book a probably didnt even exist, let me just say, it wont go well….as in Vlad Tepes will rip Sun Tzu heart out of his fucking chest.

OK, down to the grind. Last two episodes. And they are gonna be sweet ones.
Comanche vs Mongol: two masters of horseback and archery who specialized in crazy lightning attacks. My opinion, it goes to the Mongol, who has better armor and more developed weapons.
Navy SEAL vs Israeli Commando: THE BIG ONE. Best two special forces in the world, maybe the two deadliest warriors in history. I cant call this one.
