Nominations for Ultimate Bad Ass award
The Friday Question last week, which was about TV shows on DVD, ended up in a comments battle between fans of Jack Bauer, Chuck Norris and other tough guys on television/movies.
Who would win in a fight? Jack or Chuck? John McClane or T.J. Hooker?
You guys started throwing other names out there, and then someone suggested we pit them against each other in a bracket system and vote on it.
I liked the idea and it might be fun to do over the next few weeks. I can’t think of a better name for this competition other than Ultimate Bad Ass, which seems to fit perfectly. If you have a better idea, let’s hear it.
So we need nominations. I’m going to post the ones we have down so far, and then we’ll take anymore nominations.
The rules are simple: An action hero or tough guy (or girl) from either a movie or television show. We’re not dealing with those with superpowers, like Superman, The Hulk, etc. Only those with natural abilities.
A guy like Batman is up for debate. In the comments below, we’ll decide if a character should be allowed in or not.
Once we get a bunch of nominees, I’ll seed them into brackets and we’ll start. I will probably keep this to under 24 total contestants and try to also stick to popular names, so if I cut a favorite of your, my apologies.
Here are our nominees so far:
- Jack Bauer
- Chuck Norris
- John McClane
- T.J. Hooker
- MacGyver
- Michael Westen from Burn Notice
- Mr. T
- James Bond
- Jason Bourne
- Kara “Starbuck” Thrace from Battlestar Galactica
- Bruce Lee
- James T. Kirk
- Colt Seavers (the Fall Guy)
- Benjamin Linus
- Han Solo
- Ash from Evil Dead
Now, following the rules above, let’s get some more good nominations for this list.
