King Kamala

The hatred of Madden isn't helped by the fact that he replaced Heenan. Sure, Heenan had burned out long ago but I think anybody would take a washed up, quarter assing it Heenan over Mark Madden. Though I think the commentary team with him, Tony Schiavone, and Stevie Ray may be the greatest bad commentary team of all time. Up there with any commentary team involving Dusty Rhodes.

Alright, time to show my semi-main event. A match that might not be much workrate wise but will embody the larger than life angle that I'm going with for my promotion. My next pick is one of the great stars of the late '80s and early '90s. Laziness kind of prevented him from reaching his full potential but for years a lot of people were buying him as the next Hulk Hogan and from 1988 to 1992 or so, it was easy to see why. He can work as a face or heel but I honestly liked him better as a dickhead, arrogant heel so I'll be using him as that. He's a two time former WCW World Champion, a four time WCW US Champion, a two time WCW Tag Team Champion, and a two time WCW Television Champion. With my third pick, I'm proud to select... Lex Luger This next guy is one of the biggest stars of today. He's got the super intense, babyface act down pat. He might not be a great worker but with a capable opponent, he can have a good match. He's a four time former World Champion, a three time World Tag Team Champion, and former WWE Tag Team Champion. With the first pick in the fourth round of the All Time Wrestling Roster Draft, I select... Batista

Dammit, Samoa Joe was my next pick. Though I kind of didn't expect him to last this long and certainly didn't expect him to get back to me. Was hoping lightning would strike twice ala me getting Andre and Brock first go 'round. Oh well.

Oh geez, this thread has turned into a dreaded "I'm not gay, you're gay! internet argument. To answer the question, it was the summer between 5th and 6th grade, with a girl from a summer day camp. She actually asked me. She was about two years older than me, I wasn't really attracted to her and was too polite to turn her down. Our date was kind of similar to Kinetic's first, we just wandered around a mall while I made witty comments and got hopped up on caffeine (every social event from the time, I was 8 to 14 involved me drinking a lot of Surge and eating a lot candy beforehand and during it). Being 12, I didn't really get any sort of action. Maybe a kiss on the cheek or something innocent like that. Nothing really came of it, we were friends for the rest of the summer and then I never saw her again. Yeah, pretty boring.

It was but I enjoyed it, one of the highlights of the set. Enjoyed it far more than I would have if they played a straightforward version (though that's not saying much)

Saw Fountains of Wayne unplugged last night in Boston. It was a really good show, lots of songs from the first two albums and all four of the new songs they played sounded good but I was slightly disappointed. I assumed that being unplugged, they would change a lot of the arrangements around but there wasn't really much different from when I saw them play two years agoish except they played more ballads and turned "Stacy's Mom" into sort of a slow lounge song (they even joked that it was the version that they'd play at the Brookline Ramada in two years). I don't want to complain too much since it was a good show, just wasn't what I was expecting. Didn't help their case that quite a few people thought the opener The Everyday Visuals (local group I believe) blew them off the stage. I don't know if I'd say that but they were quite good.

I like Klosterman, I only own Sex, Drugs, and Coco Puffs but I've heavily skimmed through his other stuff at book stores and friends' houses. I believe Cheech is a fan as well.

Damn, Stan Hansen was my top choice for the next pick. Did not see him going this early. Ah well. Win some, lose some.

Yeah, I'm already PMing my picks to Mellow just in case and I'm twenty something people away. Though in my defense, I might not have internet access from tomorrow morning till Sunday night.

I posted their first single in CTDWAT and no one said anything! I'll probably see them on their tour in April if they come to Boston or Northampton. The song is growing me but honestly Taylor Hanson's voice isn't doing it for me. I grudgingly respect that group but his voice is not fit for this kind of music. Don't forget that Bun E. Carlos is drumming for them!

Damn, this second round is killing me more than the first! Both Bruno and DiBiase were high up there for my third choice. Oh, there's a good chance I'll be gone most of tomorrow and part of Sunday (heading to Boston to visit my brother). Don't know what my internet access will be like so I'll PM mellow my choices just in case.

Does Guster count? They sort of venture into that territory sometimes and they seem to tour with them a lot but I don't know if I'd qualify them as such. BUTT's right, Rush really has nothing similar to any of those other bands you listed.

It's so hard to pick a favorite of all time so I'm going to go with a dark horse candidate, the current President of Equatorial Guinea, Teodoro Obian Nguema Mbasogo Some highlights, state operated radio declared that he was in direct contact with God and could order someone killed without being taken to account and without going to hell. He's also rumored to practice cannibalism. Badass.

Count me in.

I'm going to draft the two guys to be in my co-main event before I start going after tag teams. I'm in a position though where it'll be relatively easy to pick up tag teams. Hopefully, some good teams will still be on the board when I make my fifth and sixth picks.

I wasn't sure what to expect from Russo's first run but when Russo and Bischoff combined forces in April '00, I thought for certain that they couldn't fail! Given time, I thought they could overcome the WWF. I thought there was no way that WCW could lose with the guy behind the nWo and the guy behind Austin-McMahon joining forces...but oh they did. I watched this show a few months ago as part of that DailyMotion roundtable we used to do...it was bad. Not even funny bad for the most part (though Vampiro-Demon is a notable exception to that rule) but just plain bad-bad. Booker T's matches are good at least. And I vaguely remember the opener being decent. That's about it.

I hope this isn't a spoiler but there are two guys that are left on the board now that were picked in the first round last go 'round.One I'm sort of surprised to see still around and the other not so much. I already have a feeling that this draft will have more of an emphasis on work rate than star power. For those wondering; there were three overall picked in the first round last time that didn't get picked in the first this time around (Brock Lesnar was the first pick of the second).

Welcome folks to a new mini-series of roundtables where some of the wrestling folders' most respected posters will take a look back at WrestleManias through the years. Let's introduce our participants; Alkeiper: Expert in the only things that matter in life (baseball, pornography, and pro wrestling) and all around good guy. Dandy: Top 32 poster of '08. Close personal friend of Matt Young. Hunter's Torn Quad: Former moderator for the wrestling board. His knowledge of professional wrestling, especially on the historical side, is unmatched. MilleniumMan831: WWE Legacy expert and '80s WWF connoisseur. King Kamala Classic: Some jerk. Our leader for this journey through time. WrestleMania Alkeiper:I think Wrestlemania 1 gets a bad rap. Fans compare it to subsequent PPVs when the concept of a wall-to-wall supercard was not really established yet. You had big matches, but mostly it was about loading the top of the card. Wrestlemania 1 was about star power, and they loaded up on celebrities and big moments. The main event tag was more than passable for a celebrity match Dandy: Good point, Al. Looking back, it might be seen as a disappointment. However, this was their first attempt at a huge show. It also doesn't hold up as well due to the wrestling style evolving into what it has become. Some of the big moves back then were bodyslams and backbrackers. If you saw a piledriver, it was quickly followed by paramedics draping a sheet over the guy. This entire thing was to officially kick off the Rock 'n' Wrestling experience. Hogan and Piper delivered, as I don't think there goal was to put on a mat clinic. Wrestlemania definitely achieved its goal. Hunter’s Torn Quad: It's not always about how you start the race. Cosmetically speaking, WM I doesn't match up to future ones, either in terms of match quality, glitz or anything else, but at the time it was huge and that's all that matters It was your basic card with big, in terms of star power, main event. It might not have delivered the snowflakes, but it didn't have to, nor was it designed to. It was designed to kick off the period Rock 'n' Wrestling and it did it in grand fashion. King Kamala Classic: I can understand the show's historical importance and I agree with pretty much everything that's been said so far but at the same time I can also say that even by 1985 standards, the card is kind of dull wrestling-wise. It sort of has the feel of a bleh MSG show with some celebrities thrown out there. Presentation wise (outside of the aforementioned celebs)- I don't really think there's anything that differentiated it from the average MSG card actually. Like I think's been said the spectacular presentation that we associate with WrestleMania didn't really come into place until III. But yeah- one of those shows that I understands its importance but I don't really care for watching. MillenniumMan831:Obviously, most of the matches just come and go, unlike most MSG shows, there seemed to be a healthy buzz the entire night. I had a friend over to watch No Way Out. He's a bare bones casual fan, but when he saw the WM1 recap package, he was amazed by the amount of celebrities "Holy Shit! This is all one event?!?" was the gist of it. Plus unlike Crockett, it was giving the fans what they wanted . . . Andre over Studd, Richter over Kai, Hogan/T over Piper/1derful. The image of T having Piper up in the fireman's carry w/ Hogan pointing to the heavens is pretty awesome Alkeiper: I would say that rather than the beginning of Rock n Wrestling, this was the culmination MillenniumMan831: I agree King Kamala Classic: yeah I'd agree. I think it had been building up since Hogan beat Sheiky Baby. Dandy I both agree and disagree Depending on how you view it. This was when it "arrived" on a national level as the entire event was basically "Here's the next big thing, America!" by Vince McMahon and his promotion. Alkeiper. And Richter/Moolah was on MTV in the Summer of '84. THAT was the beginning, IMO King Kamala Classic I think it became even more kid-oriented though after WrestleMania I Dandy: I don't think "Rock 'n' Wrestling was adult-oriented. It was meant to tie in the celebrity aspect with carnival wrestling sideshow. Hunter’s Torn Quad: It definitely turned almost entirely family friendly after WM 1 Dandy: Bundy trying to kill Hogan and was family-oriented? Hunter’s Torn Quad: 'Almost' MillenniumMan831: I'd say it was more family oriented than kid oriented Dandy: They had day-time shows and a cartoon show...that had to have family-oriented programming. However, that was just diversification. alkeiper so best match was probably Hogan/T vs. Piper/Orndorff King Kamala Classic: yeah I'd probably agree the main event was the best. alkeiper : As an aside, Blassie's post-match protestation that he didn't carry a cane deserves a mention as a great moment. Dandy: I agree on the match. It had a big-time feel to it, and was very entertaining. Good promoting and star power won out. MillenniumMan831: I still don't believe Buddy Rose was the Executioner King Kamala Classic: Tito gets his first (and only) WrestleMania victory MillenniumMan831: Poor Tito did have to overcome a lot of cheating by heels in subsequent years Alkeiper: For worst match, I'll actually go with JYD/Valentine. Andre/Studd and Richter/Moolah weren't tremendous, but they had memorable moments King Kamala Classic: I remember David Sammartino/Brutus Beefcake being kind of lousy and sort of long given the pace of the rest of the card. Alkeiper: oh yeah, forgot Sammartino/Beefcake MillenniumMan831 Nothing shouted out to me THIS MATCH SUCKS King Kamala Classic: yeah, same. Nothing was particularly great, nothing was particularly lousy.Just kind of bleh, wrestling wise WrestleMania 2 alkeiper: Wrestlemania 2 of course gave us the three arena format, obviously an attempt to top Jim Crockett running two arenas for Starrcade '85. What is forgotten is that closed circuit was still a viable entity in this era, so the idea of running multiple live shows was appealing. The fans would pay extra for a live show, and still see the closed circuit portion of the card.What failed here more than anything is that the NYC portion of the event failed to deliver, and gave us what is still WM's worst match in Mr T vs. Piper. Bulldogs v Dream Team was a very good match, JYD/Santana v the Funks is a forgotten gem. The battle royal was entertaining, and the Hogan/Bundy cage match was watchable. Dandy: I don't know what you are smoking, Al, but Mr. T vs. Piper in a boxing match is not the worst Mania match ever. It should be put up against other non wrestling events at Mania, and the sumo match was way worse. To me, there were better matches, less jobbers, and a better main event due to it being a singles match, and in a CAGE no less. I can't believe that this was the only cage macth in Mania's history, as was stated on the recap a couple weeks ago. Al was spot on with the three different arenas aspect of live gate, merchandise, etc., and I liked that each arena had its own "main event." They were still toying with the format of Wrestlemania at this point, and they hadn't exactly caught lightning in a bottle yet. Pretty memorable event and a step up over the first Mania in my opinion. Hunter’s Torn Quad: I think this WM was built around two things; the novelty of seeing a mini-card live and the rest of the show on closed circuit, and the idea that an injured Hulk Hogan is getting inside of a cage with a 400lbs monster who very well may squash him into a pancake. You had the celebrites, too, so there was the glitz there. But this was sold on the three locations deal, as well as the idea that the hero to millions is going into the fight of his life, injured, against a behemoth, inside of a cage, and he might not make it out in one piece, if at all. As a show, it was ok, but I don't know that it was considered a good follow up to the first one. Next King Kamala Classic: I saw this show the first time via the Coliseum video and I absolutely hated it. Thought it was one of the worst WrestleManias ever but then a couple years back I watched the live version and it improved vastly. I think that Coliseum version has put WrestleMania 2 in the discussion of worst WrestleMania ever. It just feels really rushed and kind of odd. But yeah---the unedited version is a big improvement. I wouldn't call it a great show or even a good one but it's a step up from WrestleMania I wrestling wise. Both of the tag team matches are a hell of a lot of fun. Steamboat carries Hercules to a decent match. I'm a sucker for battle royals and the NFL/WWF battle royal is one of my favorites. Hogan/Bundy isn't a bad Hogan/fat guy formula match. Obviously they were still working out the kinks. The guest celebrity announcers in each city was a pretty lame idea. Oh man, Susan St. James may have been as bad as Art Donovan. The NYC portion as a whole was lame but overall an improvement over WrestleMania I. MillenniumMan831: No way was Susan St James anywhere near as bad as Art Donovan , yeah they went balls to the wall on the celebrities, guest timekeepers, ring announcers, gatekeepers, and judges blitzed this 3hr WM. I didn't mind the format as a one time deal. Doesn't hurt to try. The NY version was crapola. Should have shaved a round off of Piper/T as that started to drag. The two tag matches were extremely fun and easy to watch as was seeing Adonis bump, flail, and flip around Los Angeles. The battle royal was hot w/ Fralic and Perry turning in some nice performances. The cage match didn't do wonders for me but I didn't hate it either. As a kid, I actually liked seeing Savage getting crapped on by Steele only for him to get a cheap win. Look at the hair on that torso.And St James having a feminine voice makes her miles ahead of Donovan w/ his loud piercing tone alkeiper: I'll defend Piper vs. T as the worst match because it went on far longer than most bad matches. Nothing else to add really on this one. King Kamala Classic: Was there really a need to bring T back again anyways? His star had fallen quite a bit from WrestleMania I to 2 and it wasn't like there were any resolved issues between the two I don't think MillenniumMan831: Piper's post match interview was phenominal by the way. Aren't I the handsomest thing. T did work out well in WMI so it was natural to see if there was any milk left to draw out of him Dandy I think they hoped for T to go into wrestling full time as a guy that had crossover appeal.Match of the night for me was the Main Event as a little kid, but that might change if I had a recent viewing of this show unedited. King Kamala Classic: I like both of the tag team matches. Hard to pick a favorite between the two. alkeiper: Bulldogs v Dream Team is my favorite match, the ending with the Bulldogs winning the titles puts it over the top Dandy I don't remember thinking the flag match was anything better than horrible, so that would probably be my worst. MillenniumMan831: Orndorff/Muraco was horrible given the starpower King Kamala Classic: Savage/Steele is a rare crappy Savage match from the '80s so I'll pick that. George Welles-Jake Roberts was also a mighty lethargic squash. Man, I guess the whole NYC portion ties for worst match! Dandy: What could Savage do in that situation, though? The whole premise with Steele was that he was as close to an ape as it got, and he didn't really understand wrestling. King Kamala Classic: true Alkeiper: I don't mind Savage/Steele. It was a bad match yes, but that feud has iconic status in wrestling lore MillenniumMan831: I must also say . . . poor Velvet alkeiper: and in its way, really established the Savage/Elizabeth dynamic King Kamala Classic: yeah I never particularly cared for that match or feud but I was watching in retrospect. alkeiper Piper/T HAS to be the worst match of the evening, it was one of those matches that exposes the business, badly Hunter’s Torn Quad: Easily the worst. WrestleMania III alkeiper: Wrestlemania III. Whether it was 93000 or 78000, holy crap that's a big crowd. Considering the record attendance was somewhere around 43000 for Kerry Von Erich-Ric Flair, what WWE had done in the Silverdome and the year before at Exhibition Stadium in Toronto was truly impressive.. There is not much to say about the card that hasn't been said, but I'll defend Steamboat/Savage's status as a ***** classic. Dandy: As a kid, the build-up to this show had me hook, line and sinker. I felt so betrayed that Andre turned his back on all us fans, and I couldn't see any chance of Hogan winning. There were a lot of good of things in this show, and a couple of bad things. However, the show as a whole was a grand slam in the bottom of the ninth. THIS was why Wrestlemania is what it is today. Hunter’s Torn Quad: This WM more than any other gets looked back on with rose colored glasses. As a spectacle, it's the biggest one of 80s simply because of the huge crowd. However, apart from the quality of Steamboat/Savage and the spectacle of Hogan/Andre, this doen't have a whole lot going for it, other than the crowd. If you're looking for an example of a WM that's style over substance, this is it. It's a big show on the surface, but looking deeper, there wasn't really a whole lot to it. Then again, there didn't really need to be. King Kamala Classic: Hmm...I agree and disagree with you there. There isn't a whole of greatness outside of Steamboat-Savage but I think the style almost makes up for the lack of substance with the rest of the show and with Savage/Steamboat and the main event (and I'd add Piper's "retirement" match to the list of spectacles), what else do you really need? The undercard isn't particularly memorable but nothing really overstays its welcome and as you said, the crowd helps a ton. The card is also really well paced. I would say it's far from the greatest WrestleMania but perhaps- the most important. MillenniumMan831: WMIII is definitely the most eye-pleasing WM of all time. 12 Matches and none of them sucked. Sure only one classic but the card moved at a great clip. Everyone forgets but Danny Davis getting his ass kicked was a nice treat.. WMIII really made wrestling look sophisticated and in. A 5-star production that I would assume gave wrestling less of a hillbilly preception than in years past. Speaking of Hillbillies, someone had to mention Bundy nailing Beaver King Kamala Classic: Match of the night for III is obvious..."The Birdman" Koko B. Ware Vs Butch Reed! MillenniumMan831 I already referenced my favorite match Alkeiper: Best is Savage/Steamboat of course. Worst on its own merits is obviously Hogan/Andre King Kamala Classic: Hogan/Andre matches are pretty lousy as I've said on the board a couple of times WrestleMania IV alkeiper: Wrestlemania IV is all about the tournament. This show would have been a LOT better if they cut it down to an eight man field. This show really is a chore though. Savage/DiBiase is good stuff, but it takes nearly four hours to get there. Hunter’s Torn Quad This was really bad. The matches weren't good, with only the tag title match and the main event being above average, and everything else sub-par or worse. The atmopshere was akin to that of a wake at times. Nobody seemed too interested in anything other than Hogan and it made a bad night worse. I'd say that, all things considered, this is easily one of the worst Wrestlemania's of the lot. Next King Kamala Classic Yeah, I think I like this show a bit better than either of you two but that's primarily out of nostalgia (this was the first tape I "owned"). It's just very, very, very long and the crowd is very very dead. The matches involving Savage and DiBiase are mostly pretty good and the tag team match is also worthwhile. I'm also a sucker for battle royals and the one here is one of my favorites but yeah----not too many other highlight. Except of course the aforementioned Bob Uecker appearances. Andre choking him is the image I take away from this show for some reason. MillenniumMan831: Bob Uecker had me begging for each match to hurry up and end so we could follow up on his conquest of Vanna. One of those nostalgia shows, but yikes that 1st round was no fun at all. Shave those 6 matches off, and this event probably gets looked at more fondly. Muraco/DiBiase is a bit underrated in my view. I remember the kid next to Trump halfass marking out at Demolition's win. Jesse getting a little choked up at Savage's title-winning celebration was a nice touch . . . unless that was just some saliva going down the wrong pipe ConnMan520 (9:34:11 PM): Match of the night...Savage/DiBiase obviously. Worst match...Jake Roberts/Rick Rude. Man, that match was boring. Alkeiper: and I agree with those match selections Hunter’s Torn Quad As do I. Roberts/Rude was one long rest hold MillenniumMan831 : A long rest hold and a whiffed kneelift King Kamala Classic: Warrior/Hercules is pretty lousy too but I guess they had to stick Warrior on the card somehow. MillenniumMan831: Muraco/Bravo was pretty pootsy too alkeiper: We had Matilda attempting to hump Heenan instead of attacking him, but that seemed like a more suitable ending for the Brain anyway. Let me take this opportunity to segue to WM 5 by talking about the venue. The Trump Plaza really didn't seem suitable as a sporting venue in general, Wrestlemania or otherwise. It just looked like a gigantic prom hall, allowing Trump to buy the show or whatever occured was a mistake. King Kamala Classic: I liked the look of Trump Plaza, the wrestlers climbing down the long steps but wow----those crowds sucked. WrestleMania V Alkeiper: WM 5 is all about Hogan/Savage, your enjoyment of this show will depend almost entirely on how you enjoy the Savage/Hogan/Elizabeth angle. Rockers/Twin Towers and Owen/Perfect are the only things I really enjoy from this show Hunter’s Torn Quad I would agree with al, in that this WM is all about the main event. If you're into the angle, great. If not, you're in for a long night. As with the year before, the matches are generally sub-par and the atmosphere is terrible The only real highlights are the main event and the Rude/Warrior finish. Other than that, there isn't much this show has to offer. Next King Kamala Classic: Yeah, I don't see why WrestleMania IV gets pegged as one of the worst and this one has a fairly decent reputation. V is nearly as long and nearly as crappy as IV. That being said, I do enjoy it a bit out of nostalgia. All of the matches al mentioned are a lot of fun.. Plus for some reason, the segment of Fuji running (and winning!) the WrestleMania V fun run (in his suit) in preparation for the 3 on 2 match always makes me laugh. MillenniumMan831: Even though this WM is as long as IV, it doesn't drag quite as much. Probably since everyone wrestles once. Martel's heel turn was great even though he kind of bumbled through his promo a bit. Not all junk by any means but when you sit through 3.5 hours of wrestling w/ no wacky stipulations, you get burned out in a hurry. That said, the main event was stellar so that should keep V out of the garbage bin. Plus, I did mark out for Gorilla's disgust w/ Heenan bringing Lombardi out w/ him for his match. Chill out Gino, he was jobbing to Jim Powers two months ago. King Kanmala Classic Best match...Savage/Hogan, Worst match...Andre/Jake easy alkeiper What is everyone's opinion of Piper's Pit? King Kamala Classic : it's a fun segment but it drags MillenniumMan831 Downey did school Piper for the most part Hunter’s Torn Quad: I remember watching it and wishing it would just end already MillenniumMan831: I liked Downey's entrance tune. Don't blow no mo shmoke in mah face! King Kamala ClassicRun DMC was also really extraneous and why the hell did Rockin' Robin sing The National Anthem? MillenniumMan831 Cause Sherri wouldn't job to her? Nah, I dunno alkeiper: yeah, Run DMC was a complete waste of time King Kamala Classic: Just odd when you look at the list of anthem singers...Mean Gene, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, Rockin' Robin. 3 out of 5 ain't bad. So...any final thoughts on the era of WrestleMania before we finish. Final thoughts? MillenniumMan831 : Quality notwithstanding whenever I pop in a tape of an old WM, it's likely to be one of the 1st 5 moreso than any other era Hunter’s Torn Quad This era is one for the nostalgia buff only Alkeiper A good start historically, remembered mostly through rose colored glasses. there are some hidden gems though MillenniumMan831 I put my rose colored glasses on merrily King Kamala Classic: I'm kind of the same. I wouldn't call any of these my favorites but thanks to my nostalgia, wouldn't call any of these the worst either. Actually IV is pretty bad! I can't defend that not being in The Bottom 5 or so. Other than that however, I find myself returning to these shows a lot even if wrestling-wise they don’t hold up to some of the more recent Manias. Sorry the format is a bit hard to read. I'm a bit pressed for time as I'm going out of town this weekend but I hope you enjoy the content.

Being one of (if not) the biggest star of the Florida territory in the '70s and '80s, Dusty was my first choice for my next pick. Damn. I have a feeling me and Al might be jostling for a lot of the same picks as me and Diamonddust were in the last draft.

Yeah, as the board's most prominent fan of said '90s fluff rock, I can say that I'm rather indifferent to Stephen Page leaving Barenaked Ladies. Inc pretty much summed it up best. Nothing great, nothing horrible just sort of there. And "Let Her Cry" is really a great '90s MOR ballad. BNL never really did anything as half as good.

I bought a toothbrush at the Dollar Tree tonight. Actually 3...here's the story, I just wanted a travel case but they only came with these multiple packs of toothbrushes and I figured what the hell? I need a new toothbrush anyways. I'm starting to feel like this is a bad idea...the plastic smells funny. If I die tomorrow...well I'm an idiot.

Figured it was worth bumping up this thread to post this unreleased track that features the lyrics "Alley oop, woo, fuck her, big tits!" Quite surreal to hear the Beach Boys say fuck.

Yeah, The Egg Dome was definitely on my radar (as was Arena Mexico) but my knowledge of Japanese (and Mexican) wrestling isn't up to par well enough to put together a suitable roster.

Yeah I'll agree there- I had my card all set and everything and then the trade came along and fucked shit up. And damn, I'm happy with Brock and Andre as my first picks. Oh and the name of the supercard that I mentioned off hand...Trouble In Paradise!. I think it's safe to say now that our venues are all picked (and we're only doing one) that if Miami was picked, I would have gone with Aloha Stadium in Hawaii as my backup so as to keep the same name for my card. Now I can sit and relax for the next two or three days.
