k thx 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2004 Okay, I got the Madvillain album the other day (and mighty fine it is too) when I heard the following lyric (from Great Day): "Looky here, it's just the way the cookie tear Prepare to get hurt and mangled like Kurt Angle rookie year" This got me thinking about songs which have nothing to do with wrestling, but have wrestling lyrics in them. For example, from Outkasts Southernplayalisticaddilacmusic: "Time to drop these bows, like Dusty Rhodes Then I yell ho" And from, ahem, Limp Bizkits 9 Teen 90 Nine: "You wanna be down with the G shock! Fuck the glam rock! Assed out like Ken Shamrock" So, does anyone else have any examples of random wrestling references in otherwise non-wrestling songs?

Steviekick 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2004 There is an ECW reference in the Weezar song "El Scorcho" (which is about having a crush on a girl) off their best album Pinkerton. I asked you to go to the Green Day concert You said you never heard of them (how cool is that?) How cool is that? So I went to your room and read your diary: "Watching Grunge leg-drop New-Jack through a press table..."

Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2004 At the beginning of Skinless' "The Optimist," they have a sample of Vince McMahon saying "life sucks, and then you die." Quality. I'm surprised Slayer hasn't done a song with ANY wrestling reference whatsoever in it, considering Kerry King is a huge fucking wrestling fan (even appeared at XPW's inaugural Baptized In Blood to announce the main event).

I'm not sure I'd call Lewin a no-name wrestler, as he drew a ton of money in his day (particularly in Buffalo and Detroit), but if I'd ever heard the song i probably would have marked out for it.

nl5xsk1 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2004 First point: Sorry, Ripper, I'm a Geto Boys mark, and Nip appears on a few tracks of theirs. So when I saw the CD for like $2.25 in a used record store I figured it'd be worth the money. Second point: JHawk, I agree that maybe 'no-name' was selling Lewin a bit short, but I think I'm among the older people on this board, and even I only remember him from WCCW and his time in Florida as one of Kevin Sullivan's disciples. So, it's not a major name like most of the other ones referenced in this thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted May 12, 2004 Well, considering it's just a reference, and Milenko, according to the Dark Carnival story, is a Joker's Card that shows you visions of what could have been in order to lure you to your death...they can spell it wrong. But yes, I'd imagine it's a reference to Boris Malenko. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2004 Well, IDRM, it may be and it may not be. ICP are huge wrestling fans, and drop as many references to hardcore wrestling as they do old-school. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if it was a reference to Boris Malenko. Speaking of ICP, one of the lines in the Dark Lotus song "I Don't Care" (which is featured in JCW vol. 2 during the music video, FYI) is: I'm all inside like "fuck 'em all, What's the main event on Raw?" That was actually Jamie Madrox that rapped that line, I believe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
