Panama kicks Suez's ass, since the latter can't match the palindrome "A Man, A Plan, A Canal: Panama."
Final Four:
Black Plague
Johnny Cash
Phil Jackson
Um, did you forget a region?

Should have read the previous post.
Final Four:
Black Plague
Johnny Cash
Phil Jackson
Hot Dog
Plague beats Cash, because Johnny was just The Man in Black, while the Plague had all of Europe wearing black, in mourning.
Hot Dog beats Dalai Phil, because as successful as Phil has been, there's always been a hint of fakery around him. But there's nothing more real than a Chicago hot dog, not the least of which is the oh-so-real coronary you'll get from several decades of having it as a regular part of your diet.
Plague beats Hot Dog. Hot Dogs picks off its victims one at a time over a period of many years, while the Plague levels entires villages within days.
