80s Action Show Tournament - Geriatric

This will be one of the fun ones. I don't know about you, but to me it's a kick to debate who would be victorious between dudes who need canes and Metamucil in order to keep "moving." So without further ado ...

1. The Equalizer vs. Jake and the Fatman - let's not kid around ... any one of us would love to have Mr. E's private weapons cache hidden behind that framed football jersey that we have in the bonus room. But one thing that always bugged me about spy films was the hero's ability to access any weapon, gadget or disguise he needed at a moment's notice, and it was always just what he needed to beat the bad guys. Jake and the Fatman get style points for more realism, filming in Hawaii, having a longer run and being able to eat The Equalizer for lunch ... literally. In the end, JatF wins with a Super Splash Bomb off the top rope. Winner - Jake and the Fatman

2. The Master vs. The Fall Guy - I have to admit that I was a fan of The Master for the 5 minutes that it was on TV, and I oh so enjoyed a trip down memory lane when the show was featured on one of my all-time favorite shows, Mystery Science Theater 3000. Even though he did some serious butt kicking, it's more plausible to believe The Fall Guy would survive a one-on-one matchup. Colt Seavers ran for almost as many seasons (5) as The Master did episodes (7). The stunts on TFG were top notch (though some recycled from actual movies), but it's reasonable to think that "Danger" is Colt's middle name and would serve him well against the birthday candle-gifted Lee Van Cleef. Winner - The Fall Guy
