[QUOTE="Snoweel, post: 5039720, member: 4453"] I dunno man, I've seen the difference just a week of MSD training can make to some guy who's got no idea. Add to that a focus on specific 4-guys-vs-Brock-Lesnar tactics; I've seen 3 MPs (one fat, one skinny and one female) take down an absolute ferocious monster (admittedly drunk and probably raging from steroids) just through great teamwork. The key was that the first guy in nearly had his head taken off with a punch but he picked himself off the ground in time to help the other two. It was very impressive. But that brings me to my caveat. I guess four [i]ordinary[/i] guys would be no chance of beating Brock Lesnar unless they were willing; they'd need sufficiently high levels of aggression or self-respect to hang in there if they took a big punch or kick, where most people would give up rather than stick to the game plan. But I'm making an analogy about adventurers here. Adventurers can be as brave as they want. They're not going to bottle it if they experience a bit of pain or if things start going against them. And four ordinary men, sufficiently motivated (this includes trust in each other) are physically capable of taking down anyone after only a week's training. All they have to do is grab Lesnar at the same time. That might take a few goes but it's doable. [/QUOTE]
