The hair bands and stuff are metal, although extremely watered down. And all the wrestlers we have been comparing to pop metal bands are all wrestlers with really limited skills, so it works. as for Raven... Raven->Peter Steele of Type O Negative Both stumbled around in early versions of the character/band (Johnny Polo/Carnivore) before finally creating the identity that would make them big. They are influenced by their predecessers (old school psychology/heel tricks and Black Sabbath influence/penchant for covers). Personal problems and lack of a push (WCW/WWE and Roadrunner Records) have halted their growth, and as a result they have a cult following. They also have a very deep, dark, and brooding persona that is accompanied by a wickedly evil sense of humor.

I have no clue what that was about. See ya later, mario.

Here are some women ones I just made up... Gail Kim->Kittie When both these Canadian women debuted, they had a lot of buzz and stuff. Once we actually found out that they weren't that good at all. Both are now starting over and hopefully they will return in much better shape. Victoria->Christina Scabbia of Lacuna Coil Both pretty much broke out in 2002, are hot, and have black hair. They are really cool in a bizarre kind of way, and are beloved on the 'net. And they are both flanked by a subservient male (Stevie/Andreas).

hehe...no clue. Maybe i had a window hidden and I hit refresh...sorry. Anyway, I came up with another one... Shadows Fall -> John Cena Both spent some time in the indies and are always being plugged to be the next big thing. They show their influences, but do it in their own way. Oh, and both are from Mass.

Sheesh. The writers must be really hard up.

and he was Prime Time...just like PRIME TIME WRESTLING

Thanks...this seems to be a thread I can positively contibute to I thought of the last one while waiting in line at the bank.

Here's my new one... Rick and Scott Steiner->Max and Igor Cavallera Together (as the Steiner Brothers and Sepultura), they achieved the greatest heights of their career. By themselves is a different story. Max and Scott have drastically changed (Soulfly/Big Poppa Pump) from what made them big in the first place, and people always talk about how good they used to be. Rick and Igor try to continue by themselves, but haven't fared as well as their brothers. People would mark for their respective reunions, but no one is holding their breath, and are predicting that a reunion would be dissappointing at least.

These artists have been inducted into the R&R HOF: JACKSON BROWNE THE DELLS GEORGE HARRISON PRINCE BOB SEGER TRAFFIC ZZ TOP Basically an artist gets nominated 25 years after the release of their first album. The list is then voted on by a panel of experts. Discuss...

Actually, Linkin Park = Goldberg To purists, neither has any talent and have only gotten big thanks to marketing/promotion, as well as stupid fans. As for Test = Kataklysm Both vanilla and from Canada.

What do Muse sound like? I hear people talking about them but I've never heard them.

Yup. Their singwithability is what makes them stick out and will propably get them a shot at crossing over.

It makes sense to me. Here's another one I just thought of... KISS -> Hulk Hogan While neither of them necessarily changed their respective fields and their talent is debatable, they both were amazing draws and have influenced many future talents. Both had many kids as fans, and have large masses of fans, the KISS army and the Hulkamaniacs. And both keep saying they are going to retire, but someone gives them a financial figure that they just can't refuse. As far as IWC/IMC is concerned, both never existed, effected the business, and are just nostalgia acts.

or MARK HENRY

That's depressing. RIP.

It's ok, but not that funny.

Well, you can't sing along to Shadows Fall. That's my only complaint about Shadows Fall...the vocals. Rather ignorant statement, actually. Listen to the choruses of your average Shadows Fall song. VERY sing-along. That's where the BHC (Boston Hardcore) influence comes in huge, as most BHC bands have choruses you can sing (well, scream) along to. Fuck, almost every song by Shadows Fall has some part you can sing along to. Gimme another one. Shadows Fall vocals are very easily understandable. I love them to death, but I think Laz went a little too far by saying that they are better than everything in Judas Priest's catalog. Why wasn't there more love to Swedish metal? No At the gates? Makes me mad.

Shawn Michaels? I like that one and Laz's Flair/Maiden was a good comparison. Here's mine... Terry Funk->Motorhead. Both have been around forever, show no signs of going away anytime soon, have influenced many directly/indirectly and are overlooked by many undedicate fans. Also, both are willing to hit the biggest and smallest of venues, and definitely have a love for their business.

who's gettin the Dr. Jho treatment like KURT ANGLE

I'm glad he's recovered. He's been one of my favorites forever.
