I think I'll just demonstrate how to properly make an ERB suggestion.

First step, try to think of someone famous. It has to be a person most people have heard of. They have to be well-known through society, media, popular culture, or just plain history. If it is a fictional character, the TV show, movie, video game, or other media series that they are from must be successful and popular.

Next, find a match. Their match has to have a connection between who you are choosing. Not just any connection, either. Something that they have in common that they are both known for. For example, I saw some suggestions saying Michael Jackson vs Neil Armstrong because they can both moonwalk. This sounds ok, but what was even better was Michael Jackson vs Elvis Presley, as they are both kings of their music genre. The stronger this connection, the better the result of the battle.

And finally, make sure the title of the suggestion sounds pretty interesting to watch. Try to make it sound like a better suggestion or matchup than these ERBs that already happened:

Genghis Khan vs Easter Bunny

Sarah Palin vs Lady Gaga

John Lennon vs Bill O'Reilly

Hulk Hogan and Macho Man vs Kim Jong-Il

That is all.
