Song of the Day - Rumble
Link Wray & His Ray Men - Rumble from Rumble single (1958)
Banned from many radio stations in the late 50's, Link Wray's early experimentation of distortion and the 12-bar blues is an instrumental street fight. Are you ready to rumble?

Match of the Day - The no DQ loser leaves town for 30 days coal miner's glove tuxedo steel cage match!
Speaking of stipulations inside a steel cage match...
Ted DiBiase vs. "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan - No DQ Loser Leaves Town Coal Miner's Glove Tuxedo Steel Cage match - Mid-South Wrestling (1985)
Say what you want about this ridiculous sounding match starring a crazed Jim Duggan and a beardless Ted DiBiase in tuxedos, it definitely made sense at the time. At least, that's what I have heard...
The object of the match was pretty simple really, get locked in a cage with your tux on and if you could retrieve the coal miner's glove (a big glove loaded with a bar of metal on the knuckles) you could use it as much as you wanted without being DQ'd or the match stopping. Once there was a definitive winner, the loser had to leave with their tail tucked between their legs and stay away for 30 days. There was also no time limit.
Got it?

Match of the Day - The match that really started it all!
Tito Santana vs. The Executioner - WrestleMania I (1985)
What better way to open WrassleMania week than with the match that started it all. I'm not talking that Hulk Hogan and Mr. T/Rowdy Roddy piper and "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff match - uh uh -I'm talking Chico Santana versus The Executioner! The first ever WrestleMania match!
Any smart mark will tell you that this bout between the masked and very unknown Executioner (not to be confused with Terry Gordy's Executioner) and Tito Santana was really what started "the Grandest Stage of Them All", making it more than just "the Okay Stage for Some".
Don't believe me? Just listen to comments that these two athletes were echoing through Madison Square Garden at each other that night!
Tito Santana would go on to wrestle in the next seven WM's until WM IX when he competed in the dark match before the show.
Theme results:
Wrestlemania: WMI

Match of the Day - The Unbreakable Triple Threat match
A.J. Styles vs. Samoa Joe vs. Christopher Daniels - 3-Way Dance for the X Division title - TNA Unbreakable (2005)
Some people call this TNA's best match. Some people call this the best triple threat match of all time. What ever it is, it is a whole hell of a lot of fun. That's right! TNA and fun almost in the same sentence...
It's hard to believe that all three men in this thrilling 3-way for the X Division title, a title that was heavily contested at this time and a big deal, are still employed by TNA as minor characters that aren't related to Hulk Hogan. Don't get me wrong, Chris Daniels, along with his tag team partner, Kazarian are probably the best tag team that TNA has got right now and the two blend phenomenally, but AJ and his sulking biker gimmick and all around lack of Samoa Joe in the Impact Zone is a sad comparison to what these guys were dishing out every match like they were at Unbreakable in 2005.
Rumor has that the current X Division title will soon be contested via triple threat match-ups only which means that TNA will either we introducing us to some new talent or they are just going to be having this match played at every PPV in place of the X Division title match for now on.
Honestly though, that's really not that bad of an idea at this point in TNA's life.

Match of the Day - Insane Clown Posse challenge Mike Awesome and his bus to a hardcore match... and lose
Hardcore Wednesday:
Insane Clown Posse vs. That 70's Guy Mike Awesome - Hardcore handicap match - Monday Night Nitro (2000)
While I'm on the subject of shitty handicap matches...
It's 2000, my mark meter is off the charts, I didn't miss a Hardy Boyz match, and I'm pro-WWF through and through, but for some reason one Monday night I decide to switch the channel over to the competition - WCW and their Monday night wrestling product, Nitro. I'm not sure why I did it, probably curiosity or some shit like that, but I did it. And guess what I just so happened to stumble upon? Ding ding! This very match...
Now to be fair, before getting into WWF and The Hardyz, I actually watched quite a bit of WCW. But when I tuned into Nitro again for the first time in some time, it didn't look like I remembered it... No, this time, there were two clowns, a guy dressed like the 70's, and the Partridge Family bus. No ring, no NWO, no nothing.
Then it happened, Mike Awesome 'Awesome Bombed' Shaggy 2 Dope on top of the bus and 2 Dope slides off and takes a nasty splat onto the ground. Thanks to this unforgettable match, I believed for some time that handicap matches were matches where someone ends up handicap like that stupid-looking clown on Nitro in 2000.

Song of the Day - Informer
Snow - Informer from 12 Inches of Snow (1992)
Yep. It's Snow.
The Canadian reggae rap sensation of the 90's is perfect for any snow day.
Get lost in the snow or get lost in Snow's lines... Your choice.

Skee-Lo - I Wish from I Wish (1995)
Yes, this is that song in the Super Bowl Toyota commercial. Actually two Toyota Super Bowl commercials this year, for that matter.

It's a classic though!
The song, I mean.
Also spotted was Chet Faker's (clever name, right?) cover of No Diggity on the Beck's Sapphire beer ad.
