Tough Call
Ok, here we go. I don't know why you guys keep saying that Grom wasn't as good as Mannoroth and Cenarious when he did in fact kill them both. Thus, Rexxar's size means nothing. Both of their ages are not stated so you can't say who was older. Speed? How can you tell who was faster, I'd personally think that Grom was faster due to WW for one, and his smaller nature would probably give him a swift speed increase over Rexxars. The pets do help, but this is hard to determine. According to the lore I don't see anything of him having any other pets besides Misha. In WC3 however, he had a bunch. I'm not sure who is stronger, Rexxar has his size but you have to admit, Grom was pretty damn strong for who his size. As far as Gorehowl goes, I'm not sure how an axe makes you any better but oh well haha. I just want to know where you guys are getting that Rexxar has more experience? Perhaps a reference to a documented source would be helpful. As far as I remember in WC3, he didn't have much back story and he was kind of thrown into the game as a test for WoW mechanics. I assume they were after feedback on how people would take to it. I'm sure you lore fanatics out there will prove me otherwise though. 😉 Yes yes, there was that story and everything. But I think that came after WC3, I could be wrong. Ok then, where was I? Ah yes, Grom on the other hand, has fought in many wars one of which, he slayed Cenarious. As far as the Mannoroth being stunned by Thrall is kind of preposterous. Anyone would have had time to defend themselves against the ten seconds it took Grom to run to Mannoroth. As I recall from the video, Grom cut Mannoroth's spear and armor in half. He beat him fair and square, Although, he did die right afterwards due to the fact that him and Mannoroth were kind of one in each other with the whole blood thing. Chaos Grom definitely would be able to kill Rexxar because, this is just me, that Rexxar couldn't kill Cenarious or Mannoroth whereas Grom could. But then again it could be a double edged sword if Rexxar was chaos as well. If you wanted them to be on an even playing field, you'd just put Rexxar against Grom without Misha. But when you add in Misha due to lore then you could put in the chaos part of Grom. Hmm...let me recollect my thoughts heh. I don't think Misha is that much of a challenge for anyone alone, he/she doesn't have anything that distinguishes he/she from any other bear. Something that a good warrior could dispatch quickly. Hell, I remember that if I didn't have Zul'jin keep healing him/her, he/she would have died quickly. 🙁 Ok now...let's see...ah yes, Thrall is a good warrior, but I don't think he matched the degree that Grom was. DarkC, I respect your show of lore and knowledge of this topic, but so far you haven't contributed anything to show that Rexxar would win this fight. You've pretty much only shot down what others have said about Grom. Now, that being said about Grom, Rexxar has his abilities too. He has Misha yes, he has his ogre size and orc speed too. He has some combat experience yes, as he was deemed "Champion of the Horde" by Thrall. However, I'm sure Thrall thinks higher of Grom then Rexxar. Who's to say that Grom wouldn't just charge Rexxar like he did Mannoroth? I think ground rules need to be established before we can flat out debate who would win. Both are very strong combatants with different abilities. We need to set down some background rules and such to where they would fight and the abilities and such we basing this off of. That includes game versions or book versions. Now, I stand ready for the insults. 😉
