I knew I had the Q at Iron Throne in the month of October. I was desperately waiting to hear the challenge of the month so I could plan my beatdown. Oh, it’s Mike Tysons. Let’s bring it back to an old millennial’s childhood and do a Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out! theme. Can we get Little Mac to the Dream Fight against the one and only Mike Tyson?

Normal time wasters

The Thang

Mosey to back parking lot where 2 dice and beatdown are set up.

Here are the rules:

• One dice is normal. Odd numbers are for Little Mac and are worth 10 reps. Even are for the Competitor and are worth 20 reps.
• Other dice had various exercises, 2 being bunny related. Roll a bunny, KO, everything else is just a knockdown.
• Each PAX roll both dice on their turn. All PAX do exercises.
• If roll for Little Mac, do Mike Tysons. If competitor, do their exercise.
• Need KO or 3 knockdowns to win or lose. If lose, start over with that Competitor. If lose twice start over whole circuit.
• After each circuit is completed, run a victory lap on track.

Here are the Competitors:

• Minor Circuit
  • Glass Joe                     Squat
  • Von Kaiser                   Merkin
  • Piston Honda              Gas Pump
• Major Circuit
  • Don Flamenco            SSH
  • King Hippo                 Hip slapper
  • Great Tiger                 LBC
  • Bald Bull                     Turkish Get Up
• World Circuit
  • Piston Honda            Heels to Heaven
  • Soda Popinski            Russian Twist
  • Bald Bull                    Turk n Burp
  • Don Flamenco          Plank Jacks
  • Sandman                    Sleeping Hillbillies
  • Super Macho Man    Nolan Ryan
• Dream Fight
  • Mike Tyson                 Iron Mike

We started strong with a knockdown of Glass Joe, but he proved to be the most difficult. It took us 3 attempts to beat him after he KO and then TKO us. Hip slapper was a real crowd pleaser and no one needed to go to the dentist afterwards. We did complete both the Minor and Major Circuits but only managed to make it to Bald Bull in the World Circuit. I don’t think everyone was doing the Turk n Burp correctly.

Overall, I think everyone had fun and we got in 170 Mike Tysons but failed to make it to the Dream Fight against Mike Tyson. May have to bring this back at a future Alcatraz beatdown.

I don’t believe we did any.
