I can honestly say I've never had an urge to do that. POWDERMAN.

There was a show on the History channel last year called "Full Metal Jousting".
Like most of thier shows there was some drama in it. 
But it was kind of neat just the same.

Makes a lot of sense to take 2 1200lb horses, two men with sticks, and run them at each other. And so intelligent of the two men to do so. The horses don't know any better, but them men? Well, maybe not them either.
Now I would pay to see a couple of bullies go at each other with 1" blade pocket knives for 10 minutes, or a couple of world leaders both wanting war to be tied together, with the same armament. This would be both entertaining, and would give a feeling of accomplishment to all viewing I think.
