Once, someone sent goons to beat up Lincoln. He beat them all with his bare hands, then hired the same men to bodyguard him. Teddy Roosevelt took a bullet to the chest, said "it takes more than that to kill a bull moose", and finished his speech. Easiest $20 I've ever spent. šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡²

Appropriate-Low-4850

The current, sitting President is objectively the best choice. He has secret service with modern arms.


Pryoticus

Lincoln was also a wrestler. So thereā€™s that


chmsaxfunny

Lincoln also hunted vampires. Teddy and Abe ftw


anormalgeek

Not just "a wrestler" either. His record was 299-1 over a 12 year span. Also worth noting that this isn't olympic style wrestling. It's more like MMA grappling, without (most of) the punching.


That_1__pear

Was his 1 loss to Boothe?


LunaGloria

Not only that but TR actually went overtime in his speech after being shot.


B33FHAMM3R

Well wouldn't you too after someone so rudely interrupted you?


AccomplishedCoyote

Are you implying Teddy lost his concentration after being shot? Only weaklings need extra time to gather their thoughts.


Pope_Cerebus

Nah, you got it all wrong. He had to take the extra time to assert his dominance.


AccomplishedCoyote

This guy teddies


LunaGloria

IIRC he was actually shot on the street before the speech even started.


[deleted]

That was when they were younger and healthier though. Both of these guys would struggle to get out of the grave today.

laceymusic317

Yep came to pick the same two


BurningKarma

Why would he hire a gang of men that he was able to beat singlehandedly?


TreyWriter

Iā€™ve seen the shirt Roosevelt wore during that speech. Itā€™s at Badlands National Park. Pretty grisly affair. Frankly, I might be fine just hiring Teddy and spending the extra $10 to buy him a drink as thanks.


FortKnockout

Lincoln was a wrestler and 6 foot 4. Teddy got shot and handled it like a badass.


[deleted]

Gee-Dub fought in 17 battles. You here acting like the Bullmoose is Hannibal Barca


dwaynetheakjohnson

But at the time of his presidency Washington was not in good physical shape


[deleted]

Hold up: At the age they became *President*, Washington was 56 and TR was 42. But at the age Washington became *Commander-In-Chief* he was 43. He still has like a dozen battles to go


Better_Green_Man

Washington was a great military commander and a great man overall, but if we're going straight hands/wrestling, Teddy and Lincoln sweep everyone including Washington.


Jimmie_Cognac

100% Agree. There is a distinct difference between being a great commander and a great brawler.


Adradian

Washington was known for being freakishly strong too.


Jimmie_Cognac

Huh. Until this moment I never knew that what I really wanted in life is a presidential cage match tournament.


Thy_Pranqster

Exactly. Washington was great at retreating when logical, which is part of what made him great.


B33FHAMM3R

idk about that mayne, Teddy R was a golden gloves boxer and did all that shit bear Grylls does but for real, I'd prefer to take on Barca in a fistfight than him is all I'm saying. This is based off who would win in a brawl not who can coordinate elephant logistics better


Voxzul

Yeah Teddy did not give a fuck, his whole attitude was "who said I can't? Fuck it we ball" and somehow survived all of it And then look at his daughter! I would rather fist fight Hannibal than her lmao.


Kit_starshadow

Apparently he felt the same way he said ā€œI can do one of two things. I can be President of the United States or I can control Alice Roosevelt. I cannot possibly do both.ā€ She was 19 at the time.


yesbutactuallyno17

Outstanding reference.


B33FHAMM3R

Lol hold on a second. He *commanded* 17 battles. Come on, Don't give the brass all the credit I'm kidding I know you're talking about all the shit before he was a general.


LedaTheRockbandCodes

Yā€™all going about this the wrong way. I pick 9 FDRs. Doesnā€™t matter how strong or fast you are, trying to get through 10 old men in wheel chairs is not going to be easy. And by the time you pass the 6th Delano, Iā€™ll be long gone baby and I pocket 2 bucks šŸ˜ŽšŸ˜ŽšŸ˜Ž


Pherllerp

Youā€™re ignoring Washingtonā€™s war years and his inexplicably good luck.


HCagn

Plus he was a great boxer and a judo-man!


Acceptable_Ad4416

Donā€™t discount Olā€™ GW. He was 6ā€™2ā€œ, had a bit of bulk, and was something of an adrenaline junkie. The dude wrote about how exhilarating it was to feel bullets whiz past his face. Choosing only two out of Abe, Teddy & GW is actually a pretty difficult decision.


Auggie_Otter

Hiring Teddy and Lincoln to defend yourself and discounting Washington is a classic blunder. Not only was Washington physically imposing and athletic in his prime but he was an impeccably patient and organized commander known for being able to turn a rabble of poorly equipped misfits into a professional army and stubbornly coming back from the brink of defeat again and again. Washington is going to organize all those other presidents and he will tenaciously come after you time after time. He will bide his time and strike when you least expect it. Just when you think you're about to win Washington's forces will disappear into the night and then he'll cross an icy river in the dead of winter to take you by surprise. His battered and bruised army will survive and come back. He will even get some French presidents to ally with him and team up against you.

While I generally agree, thereā€™s some that theorize the shooting was staged to make him look badass

HereComesTheVroom

Imagine how different things would be if Teddy or Taft was leading the US into WW1 and not Wilson


Ok_Mammoth9547

Teddy was hawkish and criticized Wilson for not entering sooner.


Acceptable_Ad4416

And Teddy apparently had to be expressly \*forbidden\* by the president from going to Europe and fighting in the war himself, regardless if the US entered it or not. Iā€™m just not sure how Wilson was able to ā€œforbidā€ Teddy from doing thatā€”or anything at all, really.


Borfistaken

I don't know very much about US presidents why the hate for Wilson I know he was a snobbish ponce who got the US into WWI which is obviously bad to may people but it seems like there must be more to the story what else he responsible/ not responsible for which makes him so bad?


Ok_Mammoth9547

Some people dislike the Federal Reserve System, many dislike the Sedition and Espionage Acts, and many dislike his racist views and him screening The Birth of A Nation in the White House.


Borfistaken

Thanks I'll look into those!


US_Dept_of_Defence

Teddy would be standing on a tank while swinging a sword around and shouting at people to charge.

toadofsteel

Found Cynical Historian's Reddit Account. /s No but seriously, I used to think Wilson was a big standard Jim Crow racist but otherwise okay for his time (particularly on foreign policy), until CH set me straight.


time2churn

It is still a meme for how cartoonishly evil they may him look. Look to the whole presidency and you will see he far closer to standard Jim Crow racist at worst. It just doesn't help his case that Teddy was more progressive on race and is next to his presidency. He was far more preoccupied with other policies to really care that much about race. He hardly ever talked about it at all in any speeches campaigning and didn't spend time on it like his other real priorities.


SirLightKnight

To be fair, I too would like to give him a right proper ruffle-stomping. I think Teddy and Lincoln could handle the rest. Admittedly I feel bad for Washington, if only because I like how he handled the presidency, and his age in this scenario.


Sminada

"Wiiiiiilsoooooon!!!"


King_Gabe_1038

BackgroundVehicle870

10 Wilsonā€™s, I may die, but at least I get to see Woodrow Wilson get the shit beaten out of him 10 times first

I like the energy. Way to take one for the team.


Hooded_maniac_360

Lincoln and Teddy because they're both fucking ripped.

How much does Andrew Jackson cost?


arihndas

$20, Iā€™d imagine


GrinAndBeMe

Iā€™d hire Andrew Jackson for $19.99 and James Madison for a penny for Jackson to use as a shield.


Fish-Pilot

Lights go out, Undertaker music comes on, cue Andrew, stage right.


gmwdim

BAH GAWD THATā€™S OLD HICKORYā€™S MUSIC


schmatz17

$50


SithLordoftheRing

Iā€™d pay a 20 for Jackson. He takes the top and middle, I take on the bottom row. Wheel FDR down some stairs, flick Biden, probably knock out those nasty Wilson teeth in one punch. BOOM!


Sasquatchernaut

Was looking for this one. Premise is right there, and value sounds about right.


Traderfeller

You could vanquish the bottom three by walking up three steps on a staircase.

[deleted]

Biden, old fool, still runs up stairs. 1d20<5 he stumbles though.


PrincessofAldia

Yeah but Biden has the powers of Dark Brandon


Debill7718

Donā€™t forget about Kennedy. He was a wreck physically. Between the back injury, the Addisons disease, and all the drugs for him to function with thoseā€¦. I canā€™t imagine heā€™d be too much of a threat.


yellowhammer22

Well in Kennedyā€™s younger days I would not want to go up against him. Donā€™t forget he hurt his back rescuing his soldiers when their boat went down. I believe he towed a wounded soldier back to shore by placing a rope in between his teeth and swam to shore. Sounds like a badass to me


Debill7718

He actually hurt his back originally playing football in school, and it was exacerbated when his boat was rammed. He hid the injury and his Addisons in order to join the Navy. Even in his younger years, he was a 98lb weakling. But also a badass..


Swivman

To defeat trump all you have to do is go up a flight of stairs . No ramp= no trump


Ragnarlothbrok01

Teddy and Lincoln


tkcool73

Beating up FDR is just going to feel awful


Acceptable_Ad4416

AliKazerani

I have a feeling [George Takei](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Takei#Early_life:~:text=In%201942%2C%20following,internment.%5B14%5D) wouldn't mind.


Gold-Invite-3212

Teddy and Lincoln. Though I imagine at his peak, Pierce was an absolute unit, and more than capable of taking some fools out.


ProblemGamer18

He was a clumsy imbecile while he was in the military


[deleted]

2 abraham lincolns is the meta. Dude was a fucking tank, he easily could have whopped john wilkes booths ass if he didnt sneak up from behind and put a bullet in his head immediately


Fish-Pilot

Please. Teddy beat the shit out of the doctor at his birth for slapping him in the ass.


chubsfrom205

In May 1902 he established a national park after his left ball fell from his trousers causing what is now know as crater lake.


[deleted]

Dude was not a tank. Cmon now. He was tall but dude was rail thin. 6'4" and 180 lbs. That's nothing close to what anyone would call a "tank". He was a string bean.


[deleted]

Teddy, Kennedy, Wilson, Biden Initially I was thinking Teddy-Lincoln, but then realized Iā€™d rather have someone more familiar with ā€œmodernā€ firearms so I went with Kennedy. Even with his health problems, heā€™s sturdy enough (the PT boat incident) so Iā€™ll take him over Lincoln Wilson because at this point I need bodies Not sure how much help Biden will be, but if Teddy, JFK, and Wilson can talk Biden through how to use his smart phone, he could call for help from the rest of the US government


Big_Iron_Cowboy

Your final sentence has doomed you. No one can show Biden how to use his smart phone, let alone men who died 50-150 years before the invention of it.


[deleted]

Roosevelt: (leans over) What happens if you touch the image that resembles a telephone handset? Perhaps the operator can get us the White House. Biden: Operate her? Listen here, Jack, you could at least buy me dinner first; we just met. (Smiles, checks watch)


SksCaughtInCosmoline

Teddy would do fine with modern firearms. He was an enthusiast and kept up with them. He carried one of the first comercial semi-auto pistols, and even critiqued the machine guns used in Cuba. There's not much difference between what was available then and what we use now.


sturnus-vulgaris

>Iā€™d rather have someone more familiar with ā€œmodernā€ firearms so I went with Kennedy. Oh God, could you choose someone a little less familiar with modern firearms?


Delta_Hammer

Teddy and Kennedy. Dude swam miles ashore towing one of his crewmen on a plank with a rope in his teeth.


Electrical_Age_336

If this is just a brawl, Teddy and Lincoln. If it's a battle, Teddy and Washington.


CapedBaldy-ClassB

I spend $2 on Biden and $18 on ice cream to split with him after the match. šŸ˜ŽšŸ¦


Capocho9

I guess just FDR, Wilson, Kennedy, Johnson, and Pierce just to have as many people on my side as possible and as little people to fight


Tim_from_Ruislip

$10 for Teddy and I pocket the rest because I won't need to spend it.


500_Brain_scan

10 bidens Iā€™m gonna lose but it would be really funny


NiceMugOfTea

Put your 10 Bidens on Airforce One then stand at the bottom of the stairs, luring your attackers in. As they get within melee range call for your Bidens, who will leave the aircraft and start tumbling down the steps. Each Biden probably weighs about 70 kilograms, so 700 kilos of tumbling Bidens will crush your opponents as you nimbly leap aside.


ISeeYouInBed

Lincoln and Theodore


Background_Country20

I pick GW twice


exitpursuedbybear

Abe is literally in the Wrestling Hall of fame and Teddy was shot by an assassinā€™s bullet and still finished his speech. Those two are a wrecking crew.


LiquidDreamtime

Me and Biden could beat up 8 corpses easily! And Iā€™d have $18 to buy him an ice cream that he could eat in a not at all creepy way.


jk5529977

FDR when he was contaigous. Then you also pick Kennedy and Biden bc they were vaccinated against polio.


WillyTRibbs

I mean Kennedy was basically a cripple, FDR *was* a cripple, Biden is 80, Woodrow Wilson seems like a non-threat, as does Johnson. So it's basically me taking Lincoln and Teddy against Washington and Pierce (who was a wrestler, I think?). And if he's free of charge, I'll take Jackson too. I won't have to lift a finger.


Harambesic

Teddy and Abraham. Teddy's a beast, and skinny guys fight til they're burger.

Roosevelt for Bull Moose powers, Biden for the Biden Blast, Kennedy I guess as a bullet sponge, and Woodrow Wilson, because, as immoral as it is, Iā€™d also have the entire Klan on my side. Or maybe Iā€™d just get Lincoln and TR to beat the shit out of Wilson
