Spike TV knows all of recorded history is one humongous battle

It's 300 meets Human Weapon meets Ultimate Fighting Championship mixed with The History Channel.
  Honestly, why even bother marketing Deadliest Warrior, the new series premiering April 7 on Spike? The show sells itself. It features fighters from various centuries going toe-to-toe to see who'd be left standing if they ever actually grappled. The special effects aren't exactly Benjamin Button-esque, but with "the use of 21st century science," they pit Spartans against Japanese ninjas and Apaches against Roman gladiators for showdowns with "no rules, no safety and no tapouts."
  Not surprisingly, guys like UFC's Chuck Liddell will be on hand as "combat experts" to determine who's the baddest of the bad: the Navy SEALs or Genghis Khan's Mongol barbarians.
  Hey, isn't that an old bar bet?
