Pretty self-explanatory question. I’d give the edge to the Most Interesting Man in the World, because he can disarm you with his looks…or his hands, either way. He’s also a lover not a fighter. But he’s also a fighter, so don’t get any ideas. ---

[Old Spice Terry Crews](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCl5uyn5K7k) would kill them both. ---

The Old Spice guy, obviously. Terry Crews does the in-fighting and then Ash finishes the job with the twelve-gauge double-barreled Remington. It’s a damn double-team! Damn them! Damn them to Hell! ---

With any luck, they would kill each other. 🙂 ---

The Old Spice Guy can alter reality to fit his whims, including materializing vehicles out of the aether: “I’m on an M-1 Abrams.” The other guy doesn’t stand a chance ---

It would be a stand off. They would stand around bloviating about how wonderful they are until they got bored and then slap on some old spice and break for a dos equis. ---

The Old Spice Guy would lose, but wouldn’t care and would look good doing it, which would somehow transform into him being the winner…with the ladies. ---

The Old Spice Guy wins because HE is capable of generating awkward moments, which he does until the Most Interesting Man In The World is forced to yield before his suavity level drops too far. ---

Now I’m wondering about the idea of a dimension out there for Former Advertising Spokespersons…could have been an interesting _Twilight Zone_ episode. ---

> [@duality72](#): > > The Old Spice Guy would lose, but wouldn’t care and would look good doing it, which would somehow transform into him being the winner…with the ladies. Ah, but we’ve never seen the Old Spice Guy with any ladies. The Most Interesting Man in the World, on the other hand, has a beer with them, and meets them in a private compartment on the train. And didn’t he once convince a woman in an evening gown (as well as a military officer and somebody in a fez) to follow him up a mountain? I think the Most Interesting Man would win; but if he should somehow lose, I’m sure he would be consoled by the ladies he attracts. ---

I don’t know who would win, but I’m certain I would DVR it. And I feel fairly confident I know who would be advertising during commercial breaks … ---

Wait a minute. Are we talking about the classic Old Spice guy that jumped of the fishing boat, walked down the dock, brushed some fish slime off, splashed on a half gallon of Old Spice and then played “launch the torpedo” with his hot babe right there on the shore? Or we talking about that new metrosexual Old Spice guy? ---

The Most Interesting Man in the World. While Old Spice Guy can do the PHYSICALLY impossible, the MIMitW can do the LOGICALLY impossible (ie: Speak French in Russian) - he could win by losing, if simply being the MIMitW wasn’t enough to make OSG decide not to fight (not because he was intimidated, just because the MIMitW’s the MIMitW). Of course, he could also make it so that they both won - not a tie, both of them have a decisive win. ---

Bahh…Aldo! would whip both their asses, handing out free Chilla Chella! till they were both drunk off their asses and then he would sneak up behind each and slit their throats with a plastic beach picnic knife.
