Once he goes into WM? You say this as if it's one of his regular battle tactics. Why wouldn't he have used it in all his battles then, like when he was getting stomped by Kurse, Mangog, Thanos, etc. What makes you so sure he will be doing it here?
And Hercules was drunk, in an actual h2h he would be even more superior to Thor.
It's a part of Thor's powerset, go check out the rules before discussing stupid things like this. Flash doesn't usually automatically beat the shit out everyone before a second has passed, but he can still do it.
He didn't do it against Mangog or Thanos because (If you read avengers often enough, you'd know this) he was too human at the time. He mentioned during the Onslaught Saga that he was temporarily without the ability to invoke the ancient warrior madness.
So because it's a part of his powerset it makes it valid even though he never ever does it? That doesn't make sense. I mean, to say he might pull it out once or twice I'd understand but to say he'd stomp 10/10 because of it is laughable. Check the rules? The rules state they fight in character, is it in character for Thor to go into WM in every single fight? Especially against a friend? Personally I don't think so, but to each their own.
Herc has a pretty good track record against the Hulk hasn't he? But I've never seen him stand and physically stalemate, usually Herc uses skill to keep Hulk on his toes?
The same tactic is viable every single time. Hercules and Thor won't be able to drop eachother with a couple of punches, it would take a long time. Hercules and Thor can both survive ridiculous wounds such as losing an arms, muscles ripped and still keep on going. In an incident where these two really wanted to win, they would keep on pushing eachother and in the end Thor would get so mad that it would snap, and bam. Hercules is dead.
On KMC the characters use their abilities to their full extent. Thor has the ability to invoke the warrior madness. Continue discussing this if you want, but once more and it's ignore...
When did Thor "invoke" warrior madness....
I thought he has been afflicted with it like it was a disease and not a skill like barbarian rage in diablo/dnd
Wasn't that the issue where Odin battles thanos when thanos was actually trying to help?
Or when surfer tries to hold back Thor? Without hurting him?
I remember one issue where Odin said since Thor didn't have true warrior madness he believed e could cure his son...

Could use the time where Hulk was beating the crap out of him, Namor, Iron Man and Wonderman, but this story always come back, I wanted to use something different.
Characters use their abilities to their full extent but still fight in character. These fights aren't based entirely on powersets. Thor never goes into WM so saying all of a sudden he will use it in every fight is out of character, so it's not viable. Exactly how many times in his 40+ year history has he been in WM? How many times has he willingly gone into WM to win a fight? Like I said if you said 1, 2 times outta 10 maybe but to say he will do it 10/10 when I can count on 1 hand the amount of times he's been in it in forty years is a joke.
in a recent issue, thor was sort of losing to herc in a hand to hand fight, thor even stated "it is herculese after all". but while thor was getting choked or something, he created a lightning bolt without mjolnir that gave him the win.
