I agree with nearly everyone saying the show has no merits and doesn't live up to its billings as a true marker of testing the superiority of one warrior compared to the next, but it's still a damn entertaining show from time to time. All they test in the series are the attributed weapons to whatever "warrior" they decide to base that particular episode upon; it's much harder if not impossible to correctly assume the specific technique and skill of a given warrior because they are playing on genres. Best they can do is suppose what they did with the weapon, and only test the "lethality" of it because that's about the singular experiment that might yield a historically-accurate result.
Silly show or not, which I myself lean to the former, I tuned in for the smack talk that would inevitably ensue in all episodes ("good luck hitting me as I drive an arrow through your heart"), actually familiarizing myself with weapons of the past and what purpose they best served, and understanding why each particular "warrior" class existed within their respective eras. I can do without the simulated death match at the end, though at times, that might be the only interesting thing about the episode entirely.
