No doubt, some of you are hitting the links this summer. The only time I’m hitting a golf ball is if there’s a little windmill on the course and a snack bar next to the batting cages.
Maybe I should take a page out of Goldberg‘s book from the PGA tour and toss some geeks into a water trap. Does that count as a birdie or an eagle?
Before they were WWF villains, Dino Bravo and Rick (or Ricky, if you prefer) Martel were a top tag team in Montreal’s International Wrestling.
How popular were they? Well, popular enough to go for bike rides, lift weights, and, uh, do that wheelbarrow game you see at family picnics. All to a funky pop beat!
If AEW really wanted to revitalize their tag team division, we’d get FTR in a potato sack race and the House Of Black doing calisthenics in the park.
This year’s 4th Of July Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest may have been missing legendary competitive eater Joey Chestnut this year, but that doesn’t mean the gluttonous gladiator isn’t still shoveling food in his mouth.
See, Joey took a trip to Knoxville, Tennessee for a bologna eating contest and was joined by Mayor and former WWE Champion, Kane. There’s a joke in there about a mayor being full of bologna. How does the Devil’s Favorite Demon compare to gastronomic guru? Grab a cup of water for dipping and find out.
It’s the most patriotic time of the year in the US and what better way to celebrate it with the entrance video for the most patriotic WWE Superstar?
The Patriot?
No.
Hacksaw Jim Duggan?
Nope.
The Undertaker that one time at Survivor Series?
Nu uh.
Jack Swagger’s Soaring Eagle!
Did a giant eagle mascot need his own theme music and Titantron? No, but when has that ever stopped WWE? Be sure to play this before lighting off a bunch of M-80’s and shouting “We the people!”
Normally, actual wrestling matches are reserved for inductions or Squash Of The Week. So why is this Outback Jack match against The Raider here on It Came From Youtube?
It’s kind of not really a squash. That, and I don’t want Art and RD to have to talk about it.
The Raider goes toe-to-toe with the Aussie, exchanging blows, kicking out of a pin, and even gaining the upper hand during their brief encounter. WWF bet on the wrong dingo by making an Outback Jack LJN figure. We could’ve been playing with The Raider figures instead!
NWA Wildside was a small independent federation affiliated with the NWA based out of Georgia. You can find a number of matches on Youtube, but I’m more interested in this commercial for their website. With enough cuts to make Kevin Dunn blush, the ad promotes the old nwa-wildside.com website. And hey! There’s AJ Styles.
What really gets me going, though, it the music. The unrelenting blast of nu metal makes me feel like I’m 16 years old again, spiking my hair up, wearing baggy pants, and going to local weekend shows. That brand of mall metal in the late 90’s/early 00’s fit in so well with the extreme style of wrestling, it was like chocolate and peanut butter.
It’s a shame we never got Slipknot performing at Wrestlemania. Or competing in the Royal Rumble.
