Wrestling With Poetry

Friday, February 5th, 2010

And now, your bit of culture for the day, via my inbox...

Written while I should have been working:

Flippin’ through the channels back in nineteen-eighty-eight

I spied a badass freak in leather pants, a bandana and shades

He was agitated, tense, most certainly a head case

But he looked awesome on that stage with that gold belt ‘round his waist

It came to pass his name was Savage, and his conduct proved costly

He was braggin’, posin’, boastin’, roastin’ Ted Dibiase

When suddenly a Giant struck, but when all seemed lost, he

Called upon his friend the Hulkster to come bolster his posse

And with good reason; I concede Elizabeth was fine

But soakin’ wet that southern belle weighed maybe one-twenty-nine

They called themselves the Mega-Powers, and without even tryin’

They made all their foes retreat like their receding hairlines

Then the inevitable heel turn, as Savage turned jealous

Convinced that the Hulkster was a bit overzealous

In his affection for Liz, his need to dom’nate the biz

And we fans were left to plead, “How could it have come to this?”

But little did we know that that was only the start

A DeLorean flash-forward to break your little mark heart:

Elizabeth is dead and Hulk Hogan is a dick

Randy Savage is a paranoid-ass hip-hop trick

Many others ‘mong our heroes are now dead like Liz

Bam Bam Bigelow and Big John Studd and Davey Boy Smith

Mr. Perfect and the Earthquake, but the worst part is

Twenty ‘Manias later, Vince McMahon still lives

Thanks again for your help with this, here's the latest.  He's more up your alley.  http://bit.ly/dyS4Xq

Definitely more in line with my tastes, although I’d consider Thrillseekers v. Heavenly Bodies from SMW as his best match ever.  Really though, that was mostly Jericho’s broken arm and blood, so I can see the Summerslam match getting consideration.  Which begs the question:  Did Lance Storm really have a definitive greatest match?

This wraps up my rants for the rest of the weekend and will give me a chance to relax and enjoy the Super Bowl.

Have a great weekend guys. Be careful.

Michael's Impact Review #5

Orlando, Florida - The Impact Zone


-  Apparently a little bit of hate and a few mistakes, on my end, during last week's recap.  "Needed Nash"?  Really!?!?

Main Event #1

Friday, February 5th, 2010

Hey Scott.  Since you didn't redeliver on the "special surprise" that
was promised inside of the Royal Rumble 1988 recap, would you mind
reposting your rant for the 22nd anniversary of the epic Andre vs
Hogan "The Main Event" match held on February 5th, 1988?

 

22 years is a long time.

Here’s what I’m going to do because I dislike the original rant.  I’m going to post both the original version, plus the versions from the more recent DVDs, so people can have both.  Since it’s basically a two match show anyway.
