WrestleMania XXVI is in the books and I have to say it was a very good offering overall.  Quite frankly this is the type of show I wish they had last year for the 25th anniversary.  It wasn’t anything mind blowing but it was a very solid event from top to bottom.

Showmiz vs. Morrison & RTruth – This was a decent opener.  I didn’t really surprise me that they kept the straps on Showmiz.  Once they lose, The Big Show has absolutely no program to work.  That said, it’s not going to be too long before Miz has fewer… Continue reading

It’s almost go time here on WrestleMania Sunday!  Pip and I are giddy with optimism for the show this evening.  We took it easy last night cause we know we’ve got a long road ahead of us this evening… The Beeramid is a formidable opponent but we’re confident that once again we’ll manage to take it down.  We sat down last night and came to our final list of rules for this evening’s festivities.

Pizza… check

Wings… check

Snacks… check

Beer… check, check, check

It’s the Grandaddy of em all… WrestleMania time!

It’s amazing what you can accomplish with a little bit of time on your hands.

We all did things in college that in more sane (or sober) times we’ve thought better of.  Buford had a knack of doing those things while someone else happened to be holding a camera.

I can’t for the life of me remember the circumstances that led to Buford having a pound of pasta on his head, but I’m pretty damn sure it was hilarious and I’m REALLY glad that someone thought to grab a camera and keep it for posterity.

It’s not often that we get the whole gang back together, but I do know one thing… Pip’s getting married… Continue reading

I’ve often said that one of my least favorite wrestlers of all time is the WWF’s Koko B. Ware.  (The character that is… I actually enjoyed some of his earlier non-Birdman work).  This is a dude that’s in the WWE Hall Of Fame and I can’t for the life of me figure out why.  He was essentially a jobber that never rose above mid-card status.

Dude would come to the ring with his bird Frankie (who died in a tragic fire a few years back… no shit).  On top of that, he’s probably most well known for singing the title… Continue reading

Event: WrestleMania VI Date: April 1, 1990 Venue: SkyDome (Toronto, Ontario) Attendance: 67,287

From the very beginning of this DVD you know you’re in for something special.  The intro is a voice over by Vince REALLY turning it on.  Images of a celestial Hogan and Warrior are shown and Vince booms about the “Ultimate Challenge”.  Gorilla and Jesse are back once again (though Ventura is sans mustache).  As we’re in Toronto, Bob Goulet sings the Canadian national anthem.  It’s weird to start a WrestleMania event without America The Beautiful.

Rick Martel defeated Koko B. Ware This is a battle… Continue reading

I’m sure this is way old and everyone has seen this before, but I got this sent to me the other day via email and it once again struck a chord.  This is a commercial that Budweiser aired during the 2002 Super Bowl just a few months after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.  This commercial has only been aired once because Budweiser didn’t want to financially benefit from it.  (Snopes article about the video)

I lived in Washington on that day so I remember very well what it was like.  Just because we’re a few years removed from that… Continue reading
