Match of the Debut - The man, the myth, The Machine.

Diamond Dallas Page vs. The Machine - WCW Thunder (2000)

In 2000, WCW debuted one of their least remembered one-hit wonders in the form of a big masked strongman named, The Machine. Apparently, this masked man was brought in as the next big thing by Jimmy Hart... but after one match against the veteran, pre-yoga DDP, he disappeared without a trace.

The man behind the mask was the late Emory Hail, who exactly had a few jobber matches previously in WCW. As for the "Machine" gimmick, Wikipedia says that the mask he wore was apparently inspired by a mask worn by a sadist character in the snuff film mystery flick starring Nicolas Cage, 8MM. Yep, you read that right: a wrestler was based off a Nic Cage film!

Now that's something.

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.

Song of the Day - I Wish

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.
