Match of the Day - Remember that K-Fed/John Cena feud?
John Cena vs. Kevin Federline - No Disqualification match - Raw (2007)
Battle of the "rapper thugs"
Today was the day someone reminded me about Kevin "K-Fed" Federline, that guy who was once married to Britney Spears and apparently was a... nope. That's really it.
Thanks to my rediscovery of this forgotten "mogul", I remembered this longing-to-be forgotten match that took place on Raw back in 2007. The only reason I actually watched it was to make sure there was any fighting at all in the match, for better or for worse. And well, there sort of is.
I'm sorry.

Song of the Day - The Dead Flag Blues
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - The Dead Flag Blues from F♯ A♯ ∞ (1997)
We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine...
We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine...
... and the machine is bleeding to death.
Match of the Day - Duggan/Slaughter flag match for Flag Day
Hacksaw Jim Duggan vs. Sgt. Slaughter - Flag Match - 2nd Annual Battle of the WWF Superstars (1991)
Hacksaw defends Old Glory against the ultra-heel Sargent Slaughter in his 1991 pro-Iraqi run; a time we'd like to forget.
It's a crazy match filled with lots of interferences, lumber, and camouflage.
Happy Flag Day!

Match of the Day - Something's fishy with Team 3D and that scale
Team 3D vs. Shark Boy & Curry Man - Fish Market Street Fight - TNA Destination X (2008)
Part 1
Here we go: Team 3D take on the colorful team of "Stone Cold" Shark Boy and Curry Man in a unique street fight that was right up Shark Boy's alley. But, before they could compete in the match itself, Brother Devon and Brother Ray first had to weigh-in as they had previously lost to Shelley/Sabin with the stipulation that if Team 3D lost they must be weighed before every match. If the brothers from another mother over-exceeded the weight limit of 275 lb, they'd be DQ'd. I want to say the weight limit gimmick came about due to the new X division weight limit but it was probably just TNA being TNA.
Part 2
Anyways, Team 3D (much bigger than they are today) ended up miraculously meeting the weigh-in and got the opportunity to be in TNA's very first Fish Market Street Fight! Real dead fish and all. I'll try not to go too far into detail, but let's just say there were enough antics with fish, fish nets, fishing rods, and more fish by way of crotch shots to make you say holy mackerel. Stuff like that.
Brother Ray even Frenches a big ol' bass.
Part 3
"The fish are flying at Destination X" - Mike Tenay, 2009.
The only part of this match that really disappoints, and it's definitely not the use of fish/fish puns/fish equipment, is the ending. After countless kick-outs by Team 3D, Brother Devine (remember Johnny Devine?) came in to throw some powder in someone's face and it ends up in Brother Ray's eyes instead. Powder, really? I get that that is a good heel lackey thing to do, but this was a Fish Market Street Fight; couldn't Devine at least have thrown salt water at Ray instead? But nope. Ray then blindly walks in to position for a 3D on his own partner, Devon. Oh, and Curry Man and Shark Boy win!
Theme results
Food: fish, ding dongs, clam juice.
For more laughs, I highly recommend reading the Wrestlecrap induction of this match!

Match of the Day - Now for a real deathmatch...
Jon Moxley vs. Brain Damage - Dining Deathmatch - CZW Tournament of Death 8 (2009)
Remember how I said that last deathmatch wasn't like the kind where the two wrestlers beat each other with fine-china until one has a near-death experience or something like that? Yeah, well this is that match with the china (there probably weren't that "fine") - among other things you would find in dining rooms, like: tables, chairs, grandfather clocks, and skilsaws (I'll get to that later).
But what was for dinner? Thumbtack cake, of course! At least that's what I've heard... and it makes sense really, not only because this is Combat Zone Wrestling, but because they wasted it by throwing it into each other's faces rather than eating it. I guess if they had eaten it, it would have been called a cake eating deathmatch.
I'm on a roll with bad jokes this week. Hah, roll.. like bread.
I'm sorry.
This match between Jon Moxley (Currently the US champ in WWE as Dean Ambrose) and the late Brain Damage is probably one of the best Moxley deathmatches and heavily talked about especially because of the skilsaw spot. There, I got to it.

Song of the Day - Phobophobic
Conjjjecture - Phobophobic from Living For Dead Labor (2013)
Conjjjecture are a relatively new music group from Portland, Maine that press out some mellow beats, blow on a trumpet, and mumble into a microphone. It's really pretty refreshing stuff!

Match of the Day - The bread eating deathmatch!
Tsuyoshi Kikuchi vs. Ken Ohka - Bread Eating Deathmatch - Union Pro (2011)
Aw yes, the age old classic of two grown men and their hunger for bread.
The object of this kind of deathmatch is not to kill your opponent with lighttubes or glass or even give them a near-death experience with Legos or fine-china, no, this "deathmatch" is all about who can eat more bread that is hanginghigh above the ring. Of course, there are a few deadly shots with that stale-looking baguette that one could argue belongs more in a normal deathmatch than one where consuming bread is the key to success. You know, success: to be named the dominate breadwinner. Get it?
Don't worry though, the two opponents (or contests, I guess) Ken Ohka and Tsuyoshi Kikuchi were given milk to help them swallow all the bread they had grabbed (were they not aloud to use their hands?) from the strings. Unfortunately though, they had to share it.
Bonus: I embedded the version of this match that features English. The only thing is that Ken Ohka is said to be Roger Tableman and Tsuyoshi is Jasons Love-him. I'm not sure why, but that's the names listed on the video themselves as well but don't appear on the Japanese version.

Food: Bread (all kinds) and milk.

Match of the Day - Simon Dean eats 20 double cheeseburgers
Simon Dean vs. Bobby Lashley - No Mercy (2005)
The fitness guru, Simon Dean battles the newcomer to WWE, Bobby Lashley in his first PPV match at No Mercy. Bobby Lashley had already fought and defeated Dean in his debut match on SD!, but this time around Dean added a little stipulation to the match; Dean, being the heel health-nut he was, decided to poke fun at the crowd for being from the fattest state by bringing out twenty double cheeseburgers... and then thought it would be a good move on his part to make the stipulation that if Lashley beat him, he would eat all twenty of the burgers.
Simon Dean then lost the match in less than three minutes. And although Lashley only stuffed one cheeseburger down Dean's throat in the end, the tray of burgers was carried to the back where the squashed Dean, being the good-sport that he was, eat the rest and threw up (all speculation, of course).
As for the match itself... It was as sloppy as the cheeseburgers.
Theme results
Food: cheeseburgers.
