Chuck Liddell on Premiere Episode of Spike TV's "Deadliest Warrior"
Who would win in a battle to the death--a Samurai or a Viking? William Wallace or Shaka Zulu? The Japanese Yakuza or the Sicilian Mafia? Spike TV seeks to finally put these age-old questions to rest in "Deadliest Warrior," an unprecedented, unscripted series that pits history's greatest warriors against one another to determine, once and for all, who reigns supreme.
Premiering Tuesday, April 7 (10-11 pm, ET/PT) on Spike TV, the debut episode ("Gladiator vs. Apache") features the crowd-pleasing killer of ancient Rome going up against the fierce, unyielding, scalp-picking Native American warrior. Modern-day gladiator Chuck Liddell makes a special appearance in this episode to test the gladiator's lethal weapons using his legendary striking abilities.
Each week, a new episode will pit two of the most feared warriors civilization has ever known against each other. Along with the use of 21st-century science and the latest in CGI technology, each episode enlists warrior-specific world-class fighters to provide insight into what makes these combatants tick and analyzing every facet of their unique skills of destruction, culminating in a head-to-head final fight between two legends of the battlefield that will produce the deadliest warrior.
Other highly anticipated showdowns this season include: Pirate vs. Knight, Taliban vs. IRA, Yakuza vs. Mafia, Viking vs. Samurai, Green Beret vs. Spetznaz, Maori vs. Shaolin Monks, William Wallace vs. Shaka Zulu, and Ninja vs. Spartan.
