It’s The Brood Day

The fellas in The New Day decided to have a little Halloween fun for their Trick Or Treat Street Fight by dressing up like The Brood. I have to say, the blonde wigs are a good look on them.

I also have to say:

Brood Day rocks!

Brood Day rocks!

Brood Day rocks!

Elvira Wants You To Watch Halloween Havoc

Back in 1990, WCW had none other than Elvira, Mistress Of The Dark promote their Halloween Havoc pay-per-view. It was genius. And she was joined by Sid Vicious as Frankenstein. Double genius!

How did WCW follow this up? Was she on the pay-per-view? Was she Sid’s manager? Did she become a pro wrestler?

Nope. Nothing. Nada. WCW WCW’d it up.

Shocking!

Spike Huber In WWF

It wasn’t uncommon in the 80’s for a wrestler to have a “blink and you miss it” run in the WWF. Maybe a few months working shows, a couple of television appearances, and then you’re gone. A “cup of coffee” as it is sometimes known. One such wrestler was Spike Huber in 1984.

A former multiple-time tag team champion in WWA, the son-in-law of Dick the Bruiser made his way to New York to play his trade. It didn’t amount to much with a few loses to the likes of Mr. Fuji and Moondog Rex, but it was enough to score an interview with “Mean” Gene Okerlund.

What do you think? Does Spike Huber set the world on fire in this one or would Gorilla Monsoon call him a “ham and egger”?

The Dark Order Wants You!

In the early days of AEW, The Dark Order was pushed as a threatening faction. It, uh, didn’t quite work out.

What they failed to deliver in threats and beatdowns, they made up for in an interesting and creative recruitment campaign. They probably could have run these for months, being real subtle about it at first and then ramping things up. Having people show up in the crowd wearing masks, turning underneath babyfaces into their minions, then finally taking out the good guys.

Oh, well. What could have been.

TNA Stars Wrestle Contestants On ‘Distraction’

There used to be a show on Comedy Central called “Distraction” where contestants tried to answer various questions while being, well, distracted. Like “Beat The Geeks“, it was entertaining in that “I’ve got nothing better to watch on this summer afternoon” sort of way.

One of the distractions was extra fun, though, as TNA stars Samoa Joe, Frankie Kazarian, and Curry Man joined in the fun. Watch as regular folk try to answer questions while getting tossed around like rag dolls. Fun for the whole family!

WCW Power Plant News Report

It’s Back To School time. While some are getting their pencils and paper ready (oh, who am I kidding, it’s all on tablets now), other students may be ready to hit the mat and become professional wrestlers at wrestling school.

This NBC and A&E clip from 1996 focuses on the WCW Power Plant and features Pez Whately, Jack Boot, Dale Torborg, Ron Reis, Robby Rage, Ernest “The Cat” Miller, and a whole lot of squats. Boy, that’s a lot of Wrestlecrap in just a few minutes. Come back, Power Plant! Give us more content!

The Queen Of England Cuts A Promo

AEW is All In on their Wembley Stadium shows. Sure, the wrestling may be top notch and the fans will be excited, but there’s something missing. That little extra piece that will put the London pay-per-view over the top. They need something proper. Something regal. Something…royal.

What they need is a Royal Family impersonator like WWF used to promote. Just listen to the “Queen Of England” cut a promo for Davey Boy Smith vs The Warlord at Wrestlemania VII. I’m half-expecting Frank Drebin to show up and save her from Reggie Jackson.

Dig into your pockets and get us a “King Charles” promo, Tony!
