Oh, my brother! Get the TABLES!
I never thought that Elmo was a bad ass in any way, but when he Hulks up, not even Vegeta can stop the twenty-four inch pythons from running wild!
Some wrasslers can cut a promo. And some… well…
Simon Kinberg who penned Mr. & Mrs. Smith has been tapped to write The Hardy Men which stars Tom Cruise and Ben Stiller as the Hardy brothers all growed up.
You know, they’re casting the wrong Hardys. There are only two Hardys that the millions and millions of the Hardy’s fans want to see.
When I think Carmen Elektra, oh yeah, I think wrasslin’! Wait what?
In an effort to distract us from all the horrible shit that’s going on these days, Carmen Elektra and 121 Ventures Inc. present the Naked Women’s Wrestling League (NWWL)! Think WWE only with more women who actually do more than just prance around. Say what you want, but unlike the non existent WWE women’s division, these ladies actually throw down. Carmen keeps her clothes on as the ring announcer. I believe she was commissioner at one point as well. So far, they’ve had three pay-per-views that you can purchase from their store.
There’s a NSFW preview if you’re interested. Surprisingly, it’s not that sexual. Besides the naked chicks with enormous Happy Fun Bags, they look like wrasslers throwing each other around.
First off, HUGE thanks to Pocky for hosting us all last night. He said that if it weren’t for me hyping it up, he wouldn’t have gotten the pay-per-view. An awesome time was had by all including Audrey who had never watched any kind of professional wrestling for any extended period of time ever. You really have to watch wrestling with a room full of people who are really into it.
As we predicted, Trump gets to keep his hair. But Stone Cold still gave him a stunner before he walked out of the ring. Awesome! Undertaker is 15-0 at Wrestlemania. Didn’t think he’d keep up the streak, but it was an awesome match. Batista really gave ‘Taker a run for his money. The Diva match just gets worse and worse every year. I miss the days of a real women’s devision. Jeff “I’m the craziest mother fucker to jump off a ladder ever” Hardey looked like he really broke Edge. Crazy shit.
It was a great show. We almost didn’t notice the time. Next year we’ll have to plan something big for Wrasslemania 24!
The Rock returned to Monday Night Raw to give his thoughts on the Billionaire vs. Billionaire match at Wrestlemania 23.
Once upon a time, I used to watch WWE Pay-Per-Views. We used to get us a big ass pizza and watch wrasslin til the wee hours of the night. It’s been a while, but I think I’m going to pony up the cashola for Wrestlemania 23. It’s gonna be a blast.
Okay, I’m going to have finally give in and watch season 2 of Who Wants to be a Superhero. Currently, the show is touring cross-country along with WWE’s Wrestlemania Fan Access tour. The last stop for auditions is the King of Prussia Mall in Philadelphia, PA on March 17.
This past weekend, Who Wants to be a Superhero was holding auditions at the Dulles Town Center which is not anywhere close to Dulles airport. Nelly from Morlock got the idea to go to the maul and watch the auditions. I drove all the way out to the middle of absolute no where Virginia to meet up with Nelly and Jim from Morlock and Garth from Comedity.
The auditions took place in the middle of the maul. The WWE had a little area set up with a small ring and a big Wrestlemania poster behind it. There was a kiosk with XBOX 360’s for people to play the latest WWE wrasslin’ game (looked damned impressive) and a fake tattoo booth where you could pick up a stencil for the booth pixies to airbrush you a nice tattoo. Apparently, if we had gotten there earlier we could have met Edge.
The crew set up a video camera and a Who Wants to be a Superhero backdrop and the auditions began. There were clearly some people who put a lot of time and care into their costumes and others who, well, didn’t. They asked everyone the same questions; what’s your real name, what’s the origin of your character, what are your super powers, why do you want to be on the show, and what’s your catch-phrase.
I thought that asking them to reveal their secret identities in the middle of the maul was pretty anti-superhero of them. Now, every villain in the maul knows who they are in real life and can wreck havoc upon them. For shame, Stan Lee, for shame! Everyone had a long ass origin story which made me realize that people get bored really easily if your origin is longer than one sentence. But it was clear everyone spent a long time developing their characters, even if their costumes weren’t as detailed as their origins. I was quite impressed at the diversity of the heroes auditioning. A good mix of ethnicities and genders. Good to know that the superheroes of VA well represent the demographics of the area!
A note on costume design. Heroes, when it comes time to develop your costumed identity, don’t look at your comic books. Copyright infringement is a villainy that will almost assuredly hinder your ability to do good. Marvel and DC will sue you and you can’t be a superhero if you’re flat broke. Although there weren’t many, I saw a few costumed heroes that I would have named Copyright Infringo or I Want To Get Sued Man! One dude was basically Nightwing with a blue “W” instead of the bird wings on his chest. Another guy reminded me of Nexus but with goggles instead of a visor.
They haven’t yet posted the Washington, D.C. auditions, but eventually you can see them all online. I really hope some of the D.C. heroes make the cut. They were a lot of fun to watch. The auditions actually made me excited about seeing the show which is a complete 180 from my previous statements. You can bet that if one of our local heroes makes it, I’ll be watching every week!
