Time to come clean and admit that, a decade ago, a few good friends and myself had a little backyard wrestling thing for fun. Since there were so few of us, we had to play multiple characters. Themes to characters that I played:
"The Message" (Nas) for Tony Zamboni, my Italian comedy wrestler.
"I'm Afraid of Americans" (David Bowie/Trent Reznor) for Union Jack Kass, my drunken anti-American Brit guy.
"El Phantasmo and the Chicken Run Blast-O-Rama (Remix)" (White Zombie) for Lou Skanon, our equivalent of hardcore underdog Tommy Dreamer.
"Bogus Mayn" (Crucial Conflict) for Patient #2069. This guy was literally Eugene nearly a decade before Nick Dinsmore was saddled with the character. He was a patient in a psyche ward who was obsessed with wrestling and constantly did famous wrestler moves, catch phrases and poses. The only difference is that he wasn't retarded.
"When Will They Shoot" (Ice Cube) for the Black Lobster, a 1/8 black guy from Maine who was over-the-top militant.
"Lust for Life" (Iggy Pop) for Spartan, my smarmy main event heel.
