Democracy is the very definition of awesome.
It's a show called Deadliest Warrior from Spyke TV.
Each episode would put 2 different warriors against each other, compare their skills and weaponry, then make a simulation match, with the winner being based upon how many kills each weapon would get them.
Examples from the show are:
Ninja vs Spartan
Apache Warrior vs Gladiator
Samurai vs Viking
Shaolin Monk vs Maori Warrior(New Zealand)
The Spartan would beat the Samurai because even if the Samurai used the Yumi bow it would be deflected off of his shield and on the show the Spartan beat a Ninja who has fought the Samurai and won. The Samurai beat a Viking but the Viking wouldn't stand a chance against a Spartan.
