[edit] Introduction paragraph

I think the term 'showdown', when referring to the final battle between two nemeses, must have originated as a Poker term — it's when you show your cards, to see who wins, which is conceptually very similar to the more general meaning of the term. So, if a Poker showdown is the original form of the term, this should be mentioned in the beginning paragraph on this disambiguation page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.242.218.157 (talk) 22:05, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
