Guilty Pleasures: American Wrestling

As for the soundtrack, why is it that all the WWF stars have such dreadful signature tunes? Nu-metal is the dominant force there. Though I do remember quite enjoying Motorhead giving us a live rendition of the theme of my favourite, Hunter Hearst Helmsley/Triple H/The Game, at one event.

Also didn't they RUIN the Undertaker as a character? Biker indeed.

anyone seen the Scorpion King yet?

i suppose the only valid comment to this is:

When it comes crashin' down and it hurts inside Ya gotta take a stand, it don't help to hide If you hurt my friends, then you hurt my pride I gotta be a man, I can't let it slide

I am a Real American Fight for the rights of every man I am a Real American Fight for what's right Fight for your life

I'm feelin' strong about right and wrong And I don't take trouble for very long I got somethin' deep inside of me Courage is the thing that keeps us free

I am a Real American Fight for the rights of every man I am a Real American Fight for what's right Fight for your life

rip Hulk Hogan --- wha? he's not dead?

and that's the bottom line ___________________

By the way Jel, I love Kane too, but the really great impressionist in the WWF is the Big Show. He came out dressed as Hulk Hogan once, and had all of the gimmicks, all the body language, the voice, the mannerisms, the phrasing, everything absolutely perfect (except the fact that he's much bigger, of course). He went on to fight the match in a perfect imitation of Hogan's style. It was one of the best impersonations I've ever seen.

rob van dam is my fave, and i'm really warming to chris jericho, esp when he gets all worked up & indignant. i am sorta bummed i missed that kane segment - i heard it was absolutely classic.

We haven't said a single thing about the insanely sexist approach to women wrestlers, especially since Chyna vanished. Is it so wildly, insanely, BennyHill-ly sexist that it doesn't bother any of us, in some PoMo-irony way? Or are we sitting around drooling over Trish and the rest wrestling in their underwear? For me, this is the stuff that always makes me consider weaning myself off the WWF.

Actually, they have a comedy gay couple tag team now. See my comments re sexism...

"Hardyz vs. Perfect/Bossman. We spend most of this match explaining to Ms. Klein just how much fat chicks love the Hardyz. King Fuzu tries to get me with the “Homo says what” bit but I’m just far too clever for that. Hardyz win and OH MY GOD BROCK LESNAR BROCK LESNAR BROCK LESNAR. WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BROCK LESNAR AND PAUL HEYMAN? WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THAT GUNDAM GLUE ON TEW’S PILLOW AND KING FUZU’S oh never mind. What’s the point? We’re all just going to die eventually anyway. * or whatever."

i hope all you UK types enter this.

Can someone tell me who holds all the titles now? I've lost touch since ITV Digital crashed.

The intercontinental/euro and hardcore titles were scrapped and merged somewhat to become the raw championship, that is held by HHH.

I have only seen one ROH match. It was that Low-Ki/Christopher Daniels/American Dragon match, though, and MAN OH MAN THAT RULED ALL.

A humourous false rape of a false corpse by a false Kane.

According to the WWE press office, it was a "sketch in the vein of the popular TV series Six Feet Under and the X-Files". Yeah, that Scully dressing up as Mulder and having sex with a mannequin whilst pulling its brains out bit was always my favourite X-Files moment.

Ring of Honour does own all, though. If only Kid Kash was signed there rather than NWA:TNA...

For emo- "Cry Baby" Eric Embry was always in touch with his feelings, whilst The Genius was a dab hand with a poetry notebook.

Indie? I'll have to think about that.

Because of scheduling issues The Madison Theater has canceled the Burnside6 / Peroxwhy?gen show and Jeff Hardy signing scheduled for this coming Friday. The cancellation of a national act at The Madison Theater on the 14th caused a double booking when that show was re-scheduled for Friday the 21st. The bands will continue to look for a future date and venue to re-schedule the BS6/PWG show for.

Jeff, Jr., Scott and Chris deeply regret having to announce not being able to play this show that promised to be such an awesome event. We are sorry for any inconveniences this has caused since we know many have made plans for weeks around this show.

The band understands the anticipation that had been built up around this show, as they were looking forward to finally taking the stage together for the first time. They hope to continue counting on the fans' support after such a disappointing set back.

November 2, 2003

After all this time Peroxwhy?gen is finally gearing up for it's first official live show. Following Burnside6's set on November 21st at The Madison Theater in Covington, Ky, Peroxwhy?gen will take the stage for a 3 - 5 song "mini-set". Jeff will be on hand before the music starts to sign autographs and take photos. More details will be posted once plans get finalized. Stop back for cover charge, set times and full band line up. Hope to see you all there.

ECW - Heatwave '98
Tanaka vs Mike Awesome

pt 2

pt 3
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAzOA9-zh2w

Although for the purposes of this thread that's more Japanese I guess. These two were in Japan before they brought maybe the best rivalry in wrestling to ECW. Mike Awesome's dead now. He died last year. I saw them at the Elk's Lodge in Queens in like 1998. It was absolute mayhem. The Dudley Boys were there. The Sandman was there. Sabu. The Blue Meanie. Taz ("Survive If I Let You") and his "FTW" title belt, which he had made himself and stood for "Fuck the World", and which had no bearing on even the highly fictional league table that ECW maintained for itself.

i saw some bootleg tape of ECW stuff in like 94 or 95, totally mindblowing stuff. the champ, whoever he was, strolled in with a cigarette and a pbr. i think his girlfriend got piledrived (piledriven?) by someone later on. in another bit, on christmas, santa came into the ring after throwing out some tshirts. a villain character starts whipping the shit out of santa and i think dropped him through a table. one of the good guys takes THAT guy down, and suddenly there's a ref to count him out. the crowd looked good.

the champ, whoever he was, strolled in with a cigarette and a pbr.

That was the Sandman! He would smash the empty cans against his own head. Steve Austin kind of stole his schtick for awhile. Sadly the Sandman was arrested five days ago for throwing pint glasses at policemen (!)

i will concur that mid 90s ECW was fantastic, and some genuine counter-culture (as in counter to conventional pro wrestling culture)

all vince mcmahon-endorsed/wwe shit post-mid eighties matches need to be taken out back and shot

go watch some late-seventies/early eighties regional shit (hallo, virtually anything south of the mason-dixon line) and then report back to me. thanks, bye.

ECW was regional (Philly) and a true independent promotion until it fell on hard times and got scooped up by Vince et al around the year 2000. I would love to see the weird leagues you're talking about though.

there is a lot of rad shit on youtube, (barring the shit that vince has not clamped his unholy balls down upon)

all american comicbook super-hero movies need to be taken out back and shot

go watch some late-seventies films based on gu long/jin yong novels and then report back to me. thanks, bye.
