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?

Song of the Day - Twisted Nerve

Bernard Herrmann - Twisted Nerve from Twisted Nerve original score (1968) or Kill Bill Vol. 1 Original Soundtrack (2003)

Every once and a while I'll be walking to class and a man behind me will be whistling this song. I wonder if he picked it up from watching Twisted Nerve, or from Kill Bill Vol. 1, or maybe more recently, from American Horror Stories...

I sure hope this guy's not out to kill me. That would really suck.

Match of the Day - May 19th! It's happening again!

Kane vs. Big Show - Backlash (2006)

What's going on inside Kane's head?

May 19th may have been the release date for WWE's first film released by WWE Films that starred Kane as   the slasher, Jacob Goodnight, but it was also a date that Kane never wanted to be reminded of ever again. What was so significant about May 19th? Why was it such a traumatic remembrance?

Clearly the date was enough for Kane to turn on his tag team partner, Big Show just for mentioning it. The attack on Big Show, which damaged his eye*, resulted in one of the most dominate teams to split and led to this match at Backlash.

As it turns out, May 19th was the day that Kane's brother, The Undertaker burned down the funeral home which killed his parents and left Kane permanently scarred! So, yeah... pretty heavy stuff.

Unfortunately, the voices in Kane's head did not stop after May 19th had passed that year and it was later revealed that the voices were of impostor masked Kane... an angle that was quickly dropped soon after Drew Hankinson (Festus/Luke Gallows) debuted with a god-awful wig on.

*Kane damaging Big Show's eye was also a little jab at the release of Kane's movie, See No Evil, clearly.
