Spike TV's new testosterone-fix, Deadliest Warrior is ethnic cool in the not so-cutesy-kitty-cat way. This show definitely has role-play game appeal, after all who really asks "If an Apache fought an Gladiator, who would win?" But to make sure this isn't just for nerds, Spike TV team up ancient weapons specialists, medical engineers and real-life warriors like MMA Champion Chuck Liddel and certifiable Apache warriors to determine, through quasi-scientific computer simulation and medical analysis, who would win in a fight to the death. What can be more transcultural than Spartan vs. Ninja or Shoalin Monk vs. Maori? If you've missed past episodes, no need to rage, Spike TV is repeating all of its episodes.

Viking vs. Samurai
Viking versus Samurai. The savage Scandinavian raider that plundered Europe for almost a thousand years, against the blinding speed and skill of Japan's elite warrior class.
