Today's contestants:

MATCH 1:

SBAllen vs. Jane Eyre (GameFAQs Running Gag)



"A legendary rivalry that dates all the way back to 2011, when the original Rivalry Rumble was about to take place. SBAllen, indecisive about what would the next contest be about, looking for fresh ideas, discarded the thought of an All-Fictional Character Battle, claiming that seeing the evil Darth Maul battling out against the beauty Jane Eyre wasn't something he looked for, and rooted for a Rivalry contest. And so, the meme was born." -Advokaiser

Gryffindor vs. Slytherin (Harry Potter Saga)



"Many years after the foundation of the Four Houses of Hogwarts, a dark secret arose from the midst of Slytherin. Lord Voldemort's alter-ego, Tom Riddle, became a part of this House, while Voldemort's prophezised mortal enemy, Harry Potter was selected for the House of Gryffindor afterwards. At first, the rivalry between the different houses was minimal and innocent, with the young Draco Malfoy picking on Harry and his friends in order to gain more points for their house. Little did they know that the forces they were dealing with were far stronger than they imagined." -Advokaiser

MATCH 2:

Star Wars vs. Star Trek (Franchises)



"Both of these franchises have similar characteristics of their own: beyond the obvious Sci-fi setting both of them share, they're also quite divisive among their respective fanbases, many of them claiming that the original movies/series will always be the best ones, while others defending the newer and fresher blood that helped both franchises establish themselves for years to come. The question remains, though... Which franchise handles the Sci-fi, interstellar-space-travels best?" -Advokaiser

Boston Celtics vs. Los Angeles Lakers (NBA Teams)



"The Celtics and the Lakers are the two most storied franchises in the NBA, and the rivalry has often been called the greatest in the NBA. The Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers have met a record 12 times in the NBA Finals, starting with their first Finals meeting in 1959. They would both go on to dominate the league in the 1960s and 1980s, facing each other six times in the 1960s, three times in the 1980s, and two times in 2008 and 2010. The two teams have won the two highest numbers of championships in the NBA: the Celtics have won 17, and the Lakers have won 16 (11 as the L.A. Lakers and 5 as the Minneapolis Lakers). Together, they account for 33 of the 73 championships in NBA history. As of 2018, the Celtics and Lakers have a .590 and .596 all-time winning records respectively. As of the end of the 201718 season, Boston is the only team with a winning overall record against the Lakers. The rivalry has been less intense since the retirements of Larry Bird and Magic Johnson in the early 1990s." -Wikipedia

Making a mental note to remember to contribute some (shorter) write-ups soon, particularly before it's too late for Winslow/Wake.
