[EVERYTHING] Hate to be the bearer of bad news but the most highly anticipated event of the show already occurred right under our noses and nothing even happened.
This is Sandor. He's the Clegane brother known as The Hound.
This is Gregor. He's the Clegane brother known as The Mountain.
Here we see them during their last meeting at the ruins of The Dragon Pit in King's Landing.
The Dragon Pit is like the Roman Coliseum but with dragons instead of gladiators.
The Coliseum itself is what we now refer to as a stadium where the Romans held all types of games.
Today stadiums in the U.S. are predominately used to showcase both college and professional football games.
Back in the day college football didn't have a game, nor sets of games, to determine a rightful champion. Instead the teams that won enough regular season games were simply awarded a post-season game.
Because a lot of the stadiums at this time were circular structures resembling a bowl these post season games where referred to as bowl games.
Therefore:
The Hound + The Mountain + The Dragon Pit = Clegane Bowl
Yes, I know, I'm just as disappointed.
D&D really dropped the mortally wounded ninja into a river of shit on this one.
Now The Championship is going to be fought in some random field, on a pitch if you will, and the best seats in the house will only be available to those literally willing to fucking die.
Only other option is hitting up Bran but man that dude's gotten real weird since he left for college and there's no way in hell I'm going north during this fucking winter.
Clegane Match?
Clegane Cup?
It's just not the same. . .
In other news I hear Jamie Lannister is going to forge Lightbringer by plunging it into the stomach of the Queen thereby tempering the blade through the heart of his unborn child, so that's pretty cool.

Clegane Bowl II will probably be on Pay-per-view.
