Dozens Of People Named Josh Join Friendly Battle For Naming Rights, Tumblr User Recaps It BoredPanda staff
If you’ve been following current events these days, you will be aware of the so-called Josh Battle or Josh Fight. No, it’s not a gruesome battle that took place in times of yore whereby a noble warlord called Joshua faced the enemy army alone in battle or whatever.
It’s actually a jokey fight that originated on the internet between nine Joshes a year ago. One Josh sent out a request for battle to the other eight Joshes, so here we are: this actually happened.
Who is the ultimate Josh? We found out the answer on Saturday, April 24 but first a little background on how we got here.
Josh Swain is a college student from Arizona. As the pandemic was ramping up in April 2020 Swain became bored being stuck in quarantine. One day he sent a message out on social media to people who shared his name, challenging them to a battle royal one year later.
What was originally started as a joke soon gained traction and culminated into a real battle with hundreds of Joshes from all around the country armed with pool noodles descending upon Air Park in Lincoln. Swain selected Lincoln, Nebraska because it s centrally located in the US.
