If King Kong fought Andre The Giant atop Macchu Picchu, just how wonderful would that be?
For a bonus point, where would be a good place for the rematch?

Hm...
Rematch? Yellowstone. Might just finish us off and wouldn't that be a blessed relief...

Ask the people at Historia Mundi?
It's a big historical reenactment festival in Belgium. They have reenactors from all eras, and do battles with them, so you can answer things like "Knights vs. Cowboys - who would win?" and have the cavemen jump in if you need them, unless they're busy beating up Napoleon with the help of the Vikings

I can't give you a point for that Robyn, unfortunately.
And the re-enactment stuff's way out.

Br Robyn Hoode - Navo - complete with theme tune Posted Sep 4, 2009
No? 
Dammit.
Then I have NO idea where you're going with this (or where you started for that matter 
I blame it on my new blonde streak

That'd tie in with the cryptic title, wouldn't it?
QI: Wondering
Br Robyn Hoode - Navo - complete with theme tune Posted Sep 4, 2009
Or national treasures?

King Kong "the eighth wonder of the world"
Rematch atop a pyramid?
QI: Wondering
Secretly Not Here Any More Posted Sep 4, 2009
King Kong's the 8th Wonder of the World! Have a point!
Pyramids? The Pyramid of Giza is unfortunately one of my 
klaxons. Oh dear.

King Kong doesn't exist 
I thought the wonders of the world had to at least have existed in real life...
Ah well, you learn something new every day...

Secretly Not Here Any More Posted Sep 4, 2009
Well Robyn, he was billed as the Eighth Wonder of the World.
QI: Wondering
Teasswill Posted Sep 4, 2009
So maybe Andre is the 9th & Macchu Pichu the 10th wonders of the world - not sure how to put a quanitity on the wonderfulness of that!
QI: Wondering
Secretly Not Here Any More Posted Sep 4, 2009
If you did put a value on it Teasswill, you'd be wrong.

All major rematches have to take place in Madison Square Garden, usually at Wrestlemania. 
I think it might be a law or something...
QI: Wondering
Secretly Not Here Any More Posted Sep 4, 2009
It's not on my Klaxon list, but I can't give you a point there.
QI: Wondering
RadoxTheGreen - Retired Posted Sep 4, 2009
Andre the Giant used to be billed as the eighth wonder of the world too.
QI: Wondering
RadoxTheGreen - Retired Posted Sep 4, 2009
Ooh, so were they all billed as the 8th wonder of the world then?
QI: Wondering
Mu Beta Posted Sep 4, 2009
So they were all 'eighth wonders of the world', were they?
Making a total of 24 wonderful, naturally.
With a re-match in the Grand Canyon?
