The Friday Question

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.
