NXT Halloween Royal Rumble

The stars of NXT got together for a Halloween battle royal in what looks to be a warehouse complete with costumes. We got Liv Morgan as a baby, Ruby Riott as Where’s Waldo, and someone in the cheapest Nacho Libre costume ever. Should’ve gone to Amazon. Which one is your favorite?

Matt Hardy Hands Out Green Beans For Halloween

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; Broken Matt Hardy wasn’t my thing. Maybe I didn’t quite get it or Maybe I needed to watch every instance of it to get the genius, but eh, not my thing. I mean, come on.

That being said, seeing him hand out green beans to trick or treaters on Halloween is amazing. What a treat!

Just picture a whacked-out Hardy going to his local farmers market giving an emphatic “DELIGHTFUL” while getting some locally-sourced produce, fresh honey, and a sweater made out of the itchiest wool possible.

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!
