    The Naga in Vashj'ir. They totally carry through with their evil plan to grab Neptulon. The heroes (us) completely fail to stop them and divide themselves between 'Better tell Thrall we lost' and 'Guess I'll go try to rescue the prisoner of ours they took.'

    Gimme sticker.

    He's reckless. Not dumb/"retarded".

I know his plan was to lure us to him so he could kill and raise us gaining control over the strongest fighters on Azeroth but when he could have just straight-up killed Tirion at Light's Hope, Ashbringer/holy ground or no, it seems a little bit silly.
    He was killing Tirion. He did not account for Ashbringer falling into the hands of Tirion.

    The Ashbringer actually being able to harm him. Compared to Mograine (Who is powerful) merely get scrubbed off as a pest.

    Arthas himself may not have known his own advantage at Light's Hope -- it's logically impossible that by the time Uther tells us, Arthas himself wouldn't understand, but at the time, and him making a very rare trip away from Northrend as Lich King, he may not have yet understood about himself that he could only truly be *destroyed* at the Frozen Throne.

    And even then, destruction is relative -- could be that he could be struck down by the Ashbringer on holy ground and rendered a more passive force like he was prior to luring Arthas in the first place. So between those, he had a reason to back down.

    That's all pretty far afield, topic-wise, though I mean, don't we all pretty much agree that had Garrosh been at the Wrathgate, he'd have charged and gotten faceplanted, too? The only reason we could say maybe not is that if Garrosh had been at the Wrathgate, he'd have been too busy trying to kill Bolvar just to prove his... tusks were the biggest to even notice the Ymirjar come out of the gate.

    don't forget garrosh's achievements as well he did the following
    killed a twilight dragon(a servent of deathwing).
    overwhelmed taran zhu a shao-pan martial artist master.
    held his own against varian wrynn and only lost because varian outlasted him in stamina thanks to lo'gosh.
    fought agianst cairnewe was lossing at first, but he did break cairne's weapon, which would be a good advantage).
    had thrall cornered (although only because the dark shamans were blocking thralls power and thrall was a little rusty as a warrior due to being a shaman first, and a warrior, second, in early games he worked well as warrior/gladiator and shaman.
    I Think garrosh has a good chance as well to win. its hard to say if dranosh have done better than those feats, although he killed a army of broken with injuries and came back just fine and in WotLK and killed 3 Vrykul in 1 swipe a race of giants who were manhandling several veteran warriors at wrathgate.

    I have trouble giving Garrosh too much credit for killing a twilight dragon since it was only by his moronic tactical decisions that he came into contact with said twilight dragon. But I suppose the argument isn't whether he's smarter than Dranosh.

    His record in single combat is kinda hit or miss -- whatever Garrosh may excuse, Varian has walked away with the better of every. single. encounter. between them. Cairne would have taken him if not for the poisoned wound. His mak'gora with Thrall is a tougher call because, yeah, he was probably on the upper hand but it's hard not to notice that once there was a crisis to handle, Thrall was like "yeah, done with this" -- ZAAAP. Him handling Taran Zhu is about the only clean put over he's ever gotten in a lore encounter. Well, I guess Thrall in Siege, too -- pretty much a curbstomp.

    To be fair, Varian is a very strong warrior. The guy charged at Thrall and bunch of Kor'kron guards all by himself.

    Basically this. No one in that field had the chance against Arthas, charging or not. The plan was always to waste time until the Red Dragons finally arrived.

    At least Dranosh went down with honor.

    What about Garrosh versus Predator?

    Though in seriousness, I'd back Garrosh if he was in his mega yshaar all uber powerful and whatnot form. Otherwise, probably Dranosh.

    Realistically, Garrosh would win - he's clearly much smarter than that kamikaze Dranosh, and has become quite powerful lately. But then again, it's WoW, bad guys always fail.

    I Did mention that the old god form was restricted, otherwise the results would be pretty obvious.

    Does Magatha cheating us into handing her the Doomstone count as well?

    I mean you thwarted the plans of the Twilight's Hammer but now some backstabbing douche has a powerful artifact because we're that lame.

    Varian wasn't by himself, he had several warriors with him

    Garrosh beats Taran Zhu, leader of the shado pan, which no matter how much you dislike him/them, they are skilled warriors that have fought for centuries. He beat him 1v1 no powers. So saying that Garrosh has no contest is pretty baseless. I'm sure Dranosh and Garrosh had very similar brawl style combat as you can clearly see in the Wrathgate. Though I do question Dranosh's intelliagance by charging at the Lich King like that.

    taran zhu messed up and someone said he was still slightly wounded from the fight on isle of thunder. still cool that taran zhu pointed out garrosh's daddy issues.

    Grom vs. Broxigar would be close. Interesting battle to see.

    Hellscream's win.

    Even IF(and that is a big IF) Grom beats Varok, I don't think he would be able to fight anyone after that. After all Varok is the brother of legendary Broxigar!
    And Dranosh would surely beat Garrosh at the time he was alive.
