Curb Stomp Battle/Oral Tradition

• The Bible is full of these, most notably Samson slaughtering 2,000 Philistines with the jawbone of an ass. Also, pretty much any battle the Ark of the Covenant was used in.
  • I suppose that technically the Ark of the Covenant point is correct--except that on one occasion it was the Ark's side which got curbstomped...
    • God in that particular instance allowed the Ark's side to get curbstomped, seeing that their hearts were not right with Him.
  • The Ten Plagues of Egypt were essentially the Hebrew God curb-stomping a series of Egyptian deities.
  • Archangel Michael is renowned for curbstomping, and doing it to Satan no less. And in most classical paintings depicting him, he does this very literally.
  • Jesus at the battle of Armageddon in the book of Revelation, in Game Breaking fashion. As the Left Behind book Glorious Appearing can tell you, His enemies don't stand a chance against Him.
  • David Vs Goliath, a full armored giant champion is kill by a 13 year old with a weapon used to kill pests, the boy then decapitates the giant with the giant's own sword.
    • I'm sure David would have literally done a curb stomp if one was around.
• Norse Mythology has these in just about any battle involving the thunder god Thor. He battles against giants typically last only one hammer throw and it is over. The only exceptions tend to be when Thor is without his hammer, the opponent uses magic, or the Midgard Serpent.
• According to the Kojiki, Yamato against Izumo. It helped that he stole his sword earlier and swapped it with a wooden one.
