It’s with a heavy heart that I have to say goodbye today to one of my all time favorite wrestlers – The “Macho Man” Randy Savage. Randy (real name Randall Poffo) passed away earlier today after a car accident. Apparently he had a heart attack at the wheel while driving. He was 58 years old.
Randy Savage, best knowing for his time in the WWF with his wife/manager Miss Elizabeth, was one of the best performers in the wrestling business. While he was great as a face (a good guy) I always preferred his work as a heel (a bad… Continue reading
As we have for many years, Pip and I got together (once again this year with my brother Marko) to watch WrestleMania 27 and attempt a great feat… The Beeramid. As always, we had our list of rules to govern the night’s action. We were ready and willing… but were we able?
Let The Games Begin
At this point I don’t think the first beer had even been popped. Truly the faces of the optimistic as we knew (but possibly had forgotten) what lay ahead. Pip took care of our “uniforms” for the evening once again. He’s rocking the Strike… Continue reading
These types of lists typically come out at the beginning of the year. I’m all for giving convention the middle finger so I’m doing it in the day after St. Patrick’s Day. Got a problem with that? Part of why I keep this blog is as some sort of “outlet” for my creative juices. Another is that in this day and age this is about the only “cool” way for a guy to keep a diary. I go back and often and read stuff that I’ve written in the past so these types of lists I get a real… 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
WrestleMania XXVI will take place on March 28th in Arizona. I’m happy to say that after working through some logistical issues, Pip and I will once again renew our Beeramid tradition! As with years past, we have created these “rules of engagement” which will help us to construct that glorious structure.
The last time Pip and I got together we came dangerously close to “one night one case” and I’m thinking March 28th just may be the night… time will tell. Let’s get it on!
ED NOTE: Looking back over the photos from last year, we realized that we… Continue reading
WrestleMania 25 Recap – Lackluster Show With A Couple Of Standouts
Pip, my brother and I got together and carried on our tradition of watching WrestleMania together. This was the 25th anniversary of the show so were expecting big things and a great show. What we got (with a couple of exceptions) was neither. Overall I’d have to say it was a pretty bad show with just a couple of high spots – certainly not what we were expecting from the biggest show of the year… and the 25th anniversary at that. I’ll take it one step further and say that the only thing that made this one watchable was that… Continue reading →
