What about you? did you see it? If so, did you enjoy it?
Now there is something I’d like to try!
It won’t be 1/100 of the UFC.
Henry the Young King and John the Marshall were famously good jousters.
Like car racing - they raced for “pink slips”. The winner won the losers horse and armor - or the monetary equivalent.
Jousting is also the State Sport of Maryland.
The Maryland Renn Fair has, as one might expect, some excellent jousting!
Can you see the bottom of the pit yet?
Politicians should have to joust for votes.
Personally I want to see violent criminals fight in a thunderdome setting. Last one alive is ‘told they will be ‘set free’ at the end - the twist being a shot to the head.
Bragging going on here.. My Son in Law is Josh Knowles AKA the black knight from last night. He’s been working at the Medieval times castle here in Myrtle Beach for many years. He usually plays the bad guy knight.
He has been very tight lipped about the outcome of the show. We didn’t know he was gonna do the first dual even. From what I saw last night of his competition he is the favorite. He is a monster of a man physically, 6’ 4” and 270ish, but a teddy bear inside. He’s a super dad to our precious grand daughter.
BTW, Huge ratings success.

Due to medicine and a better understanding of nutrition, modern man is much larger and heavier. They need to take a good look at the armor and padding if they want to prevent unnecessary broken backs.
Hurt all the people that you want, but if you hurt one hair of a horse and the animal lovers will be on this stink on a hippy!!!!!
I love to watch jousting at the Renaissance Faires. It is really exciting and I hope this becomes a popular show.
