Top Ten Real Fantasy Match-ups
These are the dream real life matches that can never happen. These impossible matches cannot occur either due to the time period, geography, politics, or society. These are the dream matches, in many different areas, that I would sit in front of a TV and watch for hours. Most match-ups are of individuals, and they range from debates to physical (maybe lethal) Competition.
10. Wilt Chamberlain vs. Shaquille O'Neal
The two most dominant big men in basketball history, just bullying each other down in the low post. Now Chamberlain seems to be a better rebounder, has better shot, hell just more overall skill, but there is no more physically dominant presence than shaq. That said there is no way this can be one on one, I love them both but come on (it's not Magic vs MJ here), they get there best teams and go at each other.
9. Confucius vs. Socrates
I don't expect much drama or suspense in this one. Just too old guys babbling on about life. But by God they can babel better than anyone in history. It will be most interesting to hear there views on great crisis in our lives. Or about adolescence and puberty, to fascism and communism. And at its best we will have the great clash of the eastern and western philosophies.
8. Bret Hart vs. Kurt Angle
A lot of time pro wrestling is just a bunch big sweaty guys beating each other up in the most staged and fake looking matches. But then you get a handful of artist who know how to put on a real match, with great flow, tension, and charm. Bret "the Hitman" Hart, and Kurt Angle are the best at what they do. A 40-60 minute matchup will have every decent hold, suplex, and submission. Both men would play with crowds emotions, keep you standing in anticipation, and leave everything on the matt.
7. Adolph Hitler vs. Malcolm X
Now this is the kind of debate you need on pay-per-view. One with his tongue started World War II and one of the most detestable acts in human history. The other played such a crucial part in changing of a society in the greatest nation in the world, and defined how a race sees itself today. With there charisma and passion, although very different styles of speech, these two are the ultimate manipulators. It would be amazing to see them try to rally the same troops for opposite causes.
6. Khalid ibn al-Walid vs. Alexander the Great
Ah yes, the battle of the unbeaten. Alexander of course the more popular one, conquered one of the greatest empires in history, with great intelligence and relentless ambition. Khalid on the other hand was the crucial part in starting the second largest medieval empire, also using his great intelligence with his strong belief. Although Alexander might be the favorite, it would just be fun to see an undefeated fall.
5. Thomas Jefferson vs. Abraham Lincoln
This would be a presidential race, for third term, based on these gentelmens' current resume. Two of the greatest president going head to head. Imagine the debates, the media hype, the nasty ads. Unlike most elections this would not be the "lesser of two evils", but much rather the better of two goods. Lincoln is a former congressman, a decent lawyer, and led America through the most difficult time in its history. Jefferson is a founding father, who wrote the Declaration of Independence, was the lead in the Louisiana Purchase, and top it all of this renaissance man was quiet possibly the smartest man to ever hold office.
4. Napoleon Bonaparte vs. George Washington
Although they were both great political leaders, this is the battle of the great generals. They both showed innovation in there battling styles, and made what the modern army is today. There is not as much to be said about this, there really is no favorite, and a war between there armies would be one of the most destructive ever. It would just be amazing to see these great leaders try to match wits.
3. Mohammad Ali vs. Mike Tyson
Not every battle has to be one of equals,or the greatest. You might even argue Joe Louis, or Rocky Marciano as more of the dream match for Mohammad Ali. But this is not just about the boxing match but the whole spectacle. Mike Tyson in his prime had an aura of invincible, and everyone around seem to be vary protective of him, plus give him Cus D'Amato. This is when you unleash Ali, on Tyson, on the media, and on Don King. Now there is chance with two good punches Mike might drop Ali but I highly doubt it. The fight my last 5-8 rounds, but every second of it will be worth watching.
2. Mongol hoards vs. Roman Legion
The two most dominant military forces of all-time. They had great leaders, build great empires, yet could not be more different. It is the brutes up against the civilized, the elite versus the refomers, or the conservative fight the aggressors, all depending on your interpretation. It could be Timujin against Julius, or Kublai vs. Octavius, and many more Caesars against Khans. This is huge battle with all parties invoved from the west cost of Portugal to east coast China. Let them battle from the Sahara to Gobi, and in the Russian winter. Blood, guts, and tears glore not for this world to see, but would be site to behold any how.
1. Babe Ruth vs. Satchel Paige
Now for top of the list, is a challenge that very well could have taken place for real. But since I never heard anything about it, and it would not have much of a matchup considering the young arm and old bat, this makes the top of the list. The two most mythical figures in baseball history. It is very simple just Babe Ruth taking 4 at bats facing Paige. No real spectacle, no real strategy, just two of the most talented and entertaining players of all time going at each other. Babe might hit a homer or go 0-for-4, you know Satchel would make it worth while. And after its all done they both can have laugh about it after the game.
Notabels: Frank Miler vs. Alan Moore, Theodore Roosevelt vs. Franklin Roosevelt, and Bobby Orr vs. Wayne Gretzky.
10. Wilt Chamberlain vs. Shaquille O'Neal

Top Ten Sidekicks (good)
10. Kato
To: The Green Hornet
When the Sidekick is the legend (Bruce Lee), he deserves to be on the list.
9. Bucky

Cute girl to the tough chick, worked perfectly in the show. Was as important as Xena to the Show.

Like his friend, this friendly Indian has become an iconic part of out pop culture.

To: Harry Potter
Best friend to Mr. Potter, generally comic relief, he is loyal, and feel any danger for his friend.

Being the brother to the famous brother, hasn't deterred this under-study to jump higher, yell louder, and become a star in his own right.
4. Porky Pig
To: Daffy Duck
A star as big Daffy Duck. He is at his best as an everyman, and sidekick. And as a sidekick he best at helping and cordinating Duck Dodgers.
3. Samwise Gamgee
To: Frodo Baggins
The true hero of the LOTRs Saga. Pretty much carries Frodo's ass through most of the story. And as Frodo said, "Frodo wouldn’t have got far without Sam."

A smart guy playing dumb, asks the right questions, does the right things, and justs lurks in the background to let Sherlock's genius and ego do its job.
