CiJ: CHRISTMAS HYPER END

Pro Wrestlin' Countdown: Friday

Hey guys, we're going to a wrestling show tomorrow. Forklift told me to remind him, so I'm going to have to remember to remind him later.

Today, I'm just going to share with you some of my favorite entrence themes from the past and present. Why? Because, no joke, I just happened to be listening to some when I remembered I was doing this countdown.

So here we go:

Mark Henry- I love this one because of it's simplicity. It sums up Mark's character as a big dude that hurts people pretty well.



Kane- This one is cool because for the longest time, his theme was just that guitar riff. I for one liked the lyrics they added later. I still miss his mask though :(



Zack Ryder- Douchebag from Long Island, with an awesome song. On his tights? The word "Oh" above a picture of a radio. Classic!



Cactus Jack/Mankind- The first one will always hold a soft spot in my heart. Mostly because around the time I started wrestling hearing this meant someone was about to have barbed wire rubbed in their face... Usually Cactus...



This next one I'll always remember because when that car-crash hit, you knew someone was about to get a sock in their mouth.




Finally, Im gonna end with a cool tag team mashup they did this year.

When Chris Jericho:




Teamed with The Big Show:




We got this theme when they came out together:



Awesome.

Pro Wrestlin' Countdown: Tuesday

Today let's talk about Heels, bad guy wrestlers.

To me, the Heel is one of the most important things in pro wrestling. He's the guy you want to see get the crap kicked out of. He's the one who riles up the fans. He's the one who makes the Babyface (good guy) look tough, fair, moral, etc.

So lets look at some good examples of being a Heel.



Here we see Andy Kaufman, famous comedian, cutting a promo on the south. At the time, Kaufman was in a feud with one Jerry "The King" Lawler and many of the fans down there thought he was the real deal. They wanted to see him dead. This is why they cheered like bloodthirsty maniacs with Lawler drove his head into the canvas.

To continue, here's a cool Rowdy Roddy Piper story from an interveiw he gave:

Wrestling Digest: You've led as interesting a life as one can have. What
would you say is the craziest thing that has ever happened to you?

Roddy Piper: There's stupid and there's crazy, and I have lots of both. I was in a lot of riots. I did this thing once where I was to play the Mexican National Anthem on my bagpipes. For three weeks I told people I had been practicing, and I get to
the ring and I played "La Cucaracha," and the night never even got started
because they rioted.

Roddy Piper is a crazy dude.

Finally, a quick story video combo of one of my favorite heel moments in recent history. So CM Punk (bad guy) and Jeff Hardy (good guy) had been feuding for a couple of months about the title belt, and also they hated eachother. So Punk challenges Hardy to a "Loser Leaves WWE" match and wins it. Hardy's gone, the fans go crazy, they hate CM Punk.

Cut to a week later. The show comes on and all of a sudden- WHaaaaaT? That's Jeff Hardy's music! The fans are like "It's Jeff! We like him! That music means Jeff is here!" Or is he...?



Gotta love that kid with the hair!

Pro Wrestlin' Countdown: Monday

So, as the readers of the blog might know, a group of us are going to see a Professional Wrestling show this satarday. They know this because they're the ones who are going...

Anyway, in honor of this event I think Im going to count down the days with some pro wrestlin' primers.

Today I want to talk a bit about wrestling in pop-culture. When I think of american culture, I have to be honest, I don't think of much. Really, it's pretty sad. Then again, I'm pretty much some schmuck anyway, so it probably dosent matter... where was I going with this?

Oh yeah, wrestling is a pretty cool part of american culture. There are even periods where it gets to bleed into other things. Anyway, enough of me, here's a cool cartoons with Macho Man Randy Savage in them:

You Boys Like... Wresslin?

Get ready for something...

...Adorable!

Update Time!

Fuck this season!

More Freakazoid

Becasue it's Tuesday, and I have nothing else for you people!

Tuesday Night Freakazoid!

Hello, I'm Jack Valenti and these are my cheeks:

I dont think these guys even HAVE music videos

Not ones that they make, at least.

Anyway, here's some Mr. Bungle because I still like them:








I admit, I came for the zany covers, and stayed because I actually liked this fucked up band. Godspeed, you bastards.

This is a cross-post

From Craig (AKA Witty Banter):

We enjoyed some wrestling.



Kurt won a costume contest! He got 4 free tickets to the next show (12/12/09)! Who's game to go!?

Ruining Stuff Kurt Likes- Part 1

Today's topic: RoboCop

Some music for your enjoyment.

So there's this video that we like, you may have seen it. It has the mario brothers and bowser and- you know what? It's this one:



So that band, right? Turns out they didnt just make one song and go away. This was news to me, but it also made me glad to see that they've also done some Mega Man songs. Here's some that Kurt and I liked.



First, here's one that's kind of serious. I mean, as serious as a song about a sad robot from a video game can be. In it we see a very sympathetic Bubbleman, longing to be free from his watery prison, yearning for companionship.



Here's a sillier one. A very gay Crashman sings about his lust for blue robotic men. This one got a few hearty chuckles from me.



Probably one of the best, in terms of both music and humor. Its no secret that Im a big fan of the music in the Megaman series. I'll admit, Heatman has never been a go-to favorite of mine, but this version really kicks it out of the park.




BONUS VIDEO: Not by the same group, I just fuckin love it and Hyadain dosen't have an Airman that we can find.

Oh captain, my captain

Captain Lou Albano 1933-2009

He's dancing with the angels now.

Nostalgia gets the better of me

Sometimes my friends will talk about their favorite Disney Movie. The one they always watched as a kid. Everybody I know has one. Some popular ones are Lion King, Beauty and the Beast or Aladdin.

I have yet to meet someone else who shares my favorite:




When I was little I watched the HELL out of Sword and the Stone (my parents can attest to this). I even, at one point, had the opportunity to read the novel "The Once and Future King" and guess what: Its not the MOVIE that's totally fucked up, it's the SOURCE MATERIAL.

Oh, the other big one was:



Fuck the hampster dance for stealin that shit.

So, what Disney movies do you like? And don't fuckin' lie, we all have one.

Bad Idea of the Day

From a YouTube comment on a video talking about the Ghostbuster Video Game. He is refering to the fact that people have suggested the plot of the game will be translated into the 3rd Ghostbusters movie:

"I think LaBeouf would be a cool ass little Ghostbuster. He is comedic and a cool guy. He has spunk and youth. Pass him the torch as Oscar. He would be funny and have great chemistry with the Ghostbusters. For those who do'nt know who that is, it's Sam Whitwhicky from Transformers. He is an up and comming actor that we are all now comfortable with. He would bring great energy to the project. Get him in there as a reckless and funny little badass."

I'm not even really going to get into WHY I think this is a bad idea, just that I do think it is, in fact, a terribly bad idea.
