Just wanted to post up a quick reminder that this week we are specifically looking for match-up ideas featuring two real life characters. (no fictional characters please)

We will be also inviting the wider fanbase to submit their own match-up ideas too, as we don't want them feeling left out of the action. 

Peter and Lloyd will then decide which ones they want to appear on a YouTube poll - the matchup that receives the most votes will be made into an actual ERB video.

You can post your match-up ideas below or discuss it over in the #matchup-ideas channel on the discord server or post it over on YouTube. More the merrier.

Zach Miller

Augustus vs Mussolini. Real Roman emperor vs pathetic LARPer

Eric Forsman

Throwing this here as well cause it gets lost in the Discord quick lol Marie Antoinette VS Kim Kardashian would be neat, gets a female vs female battle we haven't had in a while, Kim is very relevent these days, Antoinette finally gets a battle, and it would just be an overall fun match up to have (Plus I haven't had an idea in a YT Poll yet so Bonus) Galileo VS Carl Sagan ft. Neil Armstrong would also be really cool to end the year off with some character loooooong overdue for an ERB

I think polling ideas to the wider YouTube fanbase is an awesome idea I think some cool ideas to consider would be Diego Maradona vs Tom Brady Attila the Hun vs Hannibal Barca Vincent Van Gogh vs Andy Warhol Karl Marx vs Henry Ford Wu Zetian vs Elizabeth I Can't wait to see the poll over the weekend.

Oldendorf

Just saying, Nobunaga Oda vs Cao Cao Guan Yu vs Ashoka Ole Kirk Christiansen vs Nicolas Kove

Red Claw

The Beatles vs The Monkey

Red Claw

Dante Walton

Maya Angelou vs Ernest Hemingway

Violet

Margaret Thatcher vs Otto Van Bismarck

Anthony Buckley

My number one real life matchup I want to see is Van Gogh vs Warhol. Also interested in Brady vs. Maradona

Bubonic

Yuri Gagarin (first man in space) vs Neil Armstrong (first man on the moon). (We need a Space Battle)

Josh Gordon

Colonel Sanders vs Guy Fieri Jimi Hendrix vs Kurt Cobain Vincent Van Gogh vs Andy Warhol Ernest Hemingway vs Jane Austen Karl Marx vs Henry Ford Galileo vs Neil Armstrong

Jonas Hornstrup

Charlemagne vs. Bismarck, just 'cause I love history and I think those two would be evenly matched against each other.

Jon Heiman

I always wanted to see somebody vs. themselves. Like 80s Beastie Boys vs. 90s Beastie Boys.

Ryan Monahan

I'd love to see a battle with Oda Nobunaga in it. How about Cao Cao vs Oda Nobunaga? A battle between famous Chinese and Japanese warlords, respectively.

Shawn Flowers

Otto von Bismarck vs Margaret Thatcher

Connor Rankin

Ronald Reagan vs Margaret Thatcher

Alvin Franco

I like both of those! And that is a good way to get Neil Armstrong in, without having to making him a main fighter. I’m pretty sure Pete has said it’s just too hard to find insults for Armstrong, he’s just a boring and decent guy. 😆

Alvin Franco

Judas VS Brutus Arnold Schwarzenegger VS Ronald Reagan Hayao MIYAzaki VS Shigeru MIYAmoto

Jason Ramsey

Tim Burton VS Charles Dickens Both creators of very popular holiday themed stories and the iconic protagonists within them

Fishbulb

Alfred Nobel vs Samuel Colt - inventors, arms dealers, publicists… peacemakers Margaret Thatcher vs Madame de Pompadour- uncrowned queens of England and France Guan Yu vs Hannibal Barca - dedication Nelson Mandela vs Simon Bolivar - liberation fighters Nostradamus vs Galileo Galilei - astrologers who inferred facts from the stars Hojo Tokimune vs Kublai Kahn - unfinished battle from history (mongol invasion of japan) Neil Armstrong vs Ibn Battuta- 1 step vs millions of steps

Fishbulb

Ching Shih vs Admiral Yi Sun-sin - uncaptured chinese pirate queen vs undefeated korean admiral

Matt Wiseman

King/Poe rematch, with Lovecraft stepping up. Pity you had Watsky as Poe, as I'd live to hear him 1,000 bpm his way through "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn"

jw

George Stephenson (made railroads a big thing) vs Henry Ford (made cars a big thing). Add in Sherwin as the guy who made the Segway too...

Kris Mahon

Jim Cornette vs Tucker Carlson. Jake/Logan Paul vs The Brothers Grimm (Jacob/Wilhelm)

Across The S-Nation

Kurt Cobain vs Jimi Hendrix it’s high time y’all should do this one

Kyle McCoy

Franklin D Roosevelt vs Ronald Reagan

Lemon

Galileo vs Neil Armstrong

TheCraptain

George Martin vs. Quincy Jones (legendary music producers) Robert E. Lee vs. George Armstrong Custer (military losers) "Colonel" Tom Parker vs. Lou Pearlman (scumbag managers)

Lemon

Benito Mussolini vs Nero

Matthew Kitt

Love to see Osamu Tezuka vs. Jack Kirby! Two of the most famous comic book artists back in the day!

Tim

Love the Neil Armstrong vs Ibn Battuta idea! Ibn Battuta wrote a book about his travels called The Rihla which could be a good source of material, too.

Braden697

Balto (Siberian Husky) vs Togo vs SGT. Stubby (World War I dog hero) maybe they can be anthropomorphic. But I doubt you would do that.

Leo M. R.

Still pushing for Gary Gygax vs. Shigeru Miyamoto! Tabletop games vs. video games!

Elizabeth T. Reed

The actor Monk [OCD Detective]. vs. The actor Abby [Choatic Forensic Analysis] from NCIS

Elizabeth T. Reed

Same idea different people: Sherlock Holmes [Iron Man] vs Maryln (sp?). Manson

Shawn Ravenfire

Copernicus vs Nostradamus George Patton vs Boudica Karl Marx vs Ayn Rand Princess Diana vs Eva Peron John Williams vs Danny Elfman David Lee Roth vs Sammy Hagar (Gary Cherone could show up and be immediately dismissed.) Johnny Appleseed vs James Lind (Get it? Apples and oranges!)

Joseph Larrabee

I love the Williams vs Elfman battle idea.

Jaime Martinez

I have a list: RL Stine vs HP Lovecraft, Spartacus vs Harriet Tubman, Cesar Chavez vs Malcom X

Samuel Rogers

Colonel Sanders vs Bernie Sanders

NoteBard

Weird Al vs Al Pachino

Brett Dorling

Jimi Hendrix Vs Slash Gerard Way Vs James Dean Tom Brady Vs Pele

SecularSpecter

Manfred von Richthofen (Red Baron) vs. Simo Häyhä (White Death)

Jaime Martinez

Or you can do Jesus Christ(father of Christianity) vs L. Ron Hubbard(father of Scientology). Or Jesus vs Buddha and have Hubbard come in at the end, or do a religion founders battle royale.

The Bird Connection

John James Audubon vs. Colonel Sanders!... Haha, Jk. I know that will never happen. I will give me top three here and an explanation why.

The Bird Connection

Malcolm X vs. Leon Trotsky - I know this has been reviewed and disliked by Lloyd but I think it still has potential to be something great. Both people has similar lives and martyrdoms after for their causes after. As well as funny, I think this battle could get very deep.

The Bird Connection

Bugsy Siegel vs. Shah Jahan - Ruthless men who dedicated iconic building's to their loved one's. The idea came to me after a trip to Las Vegas and I saw Bugsy's name worshiped everywhere. I like the idea of a mobster vs. a Shah. Music for this would be a mix of Jazz and Bollywood which would be dope. Akaash Singh could play Jahan and Pete would get to do a Mobster impression. Not final. Just ideas. I just love the finished product in my head. NGL.

The Bird Connection

Charlemagne vs. Tamerlane - Iconic leaders who tried to resurrected empires. Charlemagne's was the Roman Empire. Tamerlane's was the Mongol Empire. Ruthless, hair raising fun with these guys. Plus it's a fun name rhyming battle.

The Bird Connection

Honorable mentions... Matthew Hopkins vs. Joseph McCarthy Sitting Bull vs. Caratacus HG Wells vs. Jules Verne (Best in show) El Cid vs. Dwight Eisenhower Leo Tolstoy vs. James Joyce Frank Zappa vs. Emiliano Zappata Anton LaVey vs. Aleister Crowley Amelia Earhart vs. Jimmy Hoffa

Joseph Larrabee

I just thought of a fairly good one. "Shoeless" Joe Jackson vs Barry Bonds. Both players are known as great baseball players who aren't in the Hall of Fame. Both with a stigma for cheating, while one was with gambling (never proven): JJ and the other with Steroids: BB. A few bars with those two poking at each other culminating with Pete Rose entering the mix.

TuCaner

feliks zemdegs vs magnus carslon. Chess has yet to be seen in ERB and speedcubing would very cool to see since im a speedcuber

Kevin Liu

Brothers Grimm vs Walt (& Roy) Disney Marie Curie vs Florence Nightingale Judge Judy vs Ruth Bader Ginsburg Fidel Castro vs Nelson Mandela

Shawn Ravenfire

I was just thinking of Anton LaVey and Aleister Crowley. Maybe get Gerald Gardener in there too.

The Bird Connection

Johannes Gutenberg vs. Gary Gygax? Written word vs. storytelling.

Caleb Wolf

Bella Twins vs Property Brothers

Josh Gordon

HP Lovecraft vs Rod Serling (forgot to put this in the original comment)

Alvin Franco

Definitely down with HG Wells vs Jules Verne! 👍

Love for RL Stine vs HP Lovecraft!
