T.N.T vs T.M.N.T Tussle Association

One is an 80's cartoon, the other is a 1863 compound originally used as a dye! Both however, turned out to be equally explosive! #bestjoke
Our contestants will enter the ring, use their own respective martial arts (yes dynamite throwing -is- a martial art) and we will judge and decide who is the winner!

We will judge our contestants based on

A) Explosive Properties.

B) How hard rock they are.

C) How well versed they are in martial arts and finally

D) How they help in various Industrial, Military and Mining operations.

Ok, so, I am no chemist, so I will just copy paste this from Wikipedia. 2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene, is a chemical compound with the formula C₆H₂(NO₂)₃CH₃. This yellow solid is sometimes used as a reagent in chemical synthesis, but it is best known as an explosive material with convenient handling properties. The explosive yield of TNT is considered to be the standard measure of bombs and the power of explosives. In chemistry, TNT is used to generate charge transfer salts.

And that is that! In pop culture, you will see T.N.T anywhere from cartoons to video games, movies to literature. So, how does it fare in the ring however?

Explosive Properties: 10/10. The fact that it is the staple in which all explosives are measured says a lot. It swiftly replaced all of its competitors and became the way we measure explosive strength.

Hard Rock Properties: 9/10. From songs to sketches and symbols, T.N.T has been not only referenced but also is often used both in T-shirts and various pyrotechnics used by the most hardest of rock and metal-est of metal bands. Truly this is a hard rock sustance

Martial Arts Versatility: 5/10. Though many might argue that dynamite is not a martial art, I do not believe that anyone that was ever unlucky enough to be on the receiving end of a dynamite explosion will be able to argue against this, 5 points

Industrial/Military/Mining Appliance: 10/10. It is, after all, the main use of T.N.T in modern day society.

Mutated by toxic waste, raised by Splinter a martial arts guru turned into a giant rat, these turtles fight crime, eat pizza and are weird as -fuck-. Named after the architects of rebirth (Michelangelo, Donatello, Rafael, Leonardo) these ninja turtles fight the notorious Shredder and other various threats to human society both local and intergalactic. Many kids grew up with their adventures and colorful cast of villains and allies, so it is without a doubt that this has been one of the most influential, or at the very least beloved, cartoon of the 80's era. But the streets are not as chaotic as the Tussle ring, so lets find out how our teenage mutant ninja turtles do in there!

A) Explosive Properties: 5/10. Lets be honest here, despite the fact that turtles are not explosive, they -do- have ninja powers and they are mutants.

B) Hard Rock Properties: 9/10. From their intro to the obscure Beebop and Rocksteady reference, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles know how to rock. Everything about them is oozing with 80's rock and punk rock aesthetic, so for that, they earn a solid 9.

C) Grip on martial arts: 10/10. Do I even have to analyze this? They are NINJA turtles.

D) Military/Mining/Industrial uses: 5/10. I am pretty sure some workers have T.M.N.T shirts!
