Match of the Day - Brooklyn's Finest gets the cobra (JTG finally got released)

JTG vs. Santino Marella - JTG's last match in WWE - Superstars (2013)

It's a sad day if you are a WWE fan/meme enthusiast as "STILL EMPLOYED" JTG got the cut along with the 10 other superstars who were future endeavored by management today.

The final count for JTG's employment with the WWE is 07 Years, 30 days, 00 hours, 25 minutes, 12 seconds. JTG had not wrestled a match on TV since September of last year where he took a beautiful hit from Santino's notorious cobra.

Goodnight sweet prince of Brooklyn.

Theme of the Week - .GIF Week!

With the raise of WEBM and new file compressing technology, everyone's favorite moving pictures, .gif may be becoming a thing of the past. To celebrate the mighty legacy of .gif, I have decided this week to "dump" by favorite wrestling .gif's with the corresponding matches that they took place in.

I hope you enjoy!

Song of the Day - Fedora

Hive Bent - Fedora from Dyatlov (2014)

A song about everyone's favorite hat, the fedora.


Noisey Baltimore noise rock from Baltimore.

Match of the Day - Jun Kasai versus MEN's Teioh in a bunny suit

Jun Kasai vs. MEN's Teioh - BJW (2002)

Not exactly the Easter Bunny, but you get the idea.

Comedic wrestling at its Japanese-est.

Happy Easter!

Song of the Day - Faith Resigned

Yautji - Faith Resigned from Songs of Descent (2014)

More Heavy stuff!

Yautji are a mix of all sorts of pissed off sludgy hardcore and metal noise all tangled up in a big sharp clump and ready for you to step on it late at night as you quietly-as-possible walk to the bathroom. Your foot will bleed and you will be shouting, waking your girlfriend up and her drunk roommate. In this short yet excruciatingly painful moment you will confess your hatred for your shitty job and your mundane life. The next day you will buy a motorcycle and drive it far, far away. Eventually, you will ride it into the sun and mesh your skin and bones with the motorcycle's shiny metal and leather, becoming apart of it as much as it will be apart of you and you will ride the solar system from there on out as a mecha-humanoid motorcycle bounty hunter.

Never to return.


Yautji are also three guys from Coliseum, Nameless Cults, and Gnarwhal respectively.

Song of the Day - 4'33

The World is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die - 4'33'' from 4'33'' (2013)

The 8+ person emo orchestra pay tribute to the pioneer of all things experimental, John Cage with this spot-on rendition of 4'33''.

It's a must have.

Theme Week - Rasslemania Week 2!

Wrestlemania is a mere 6 days away which can only mean one thing - it's Wrestlemania week! The grandest wrestling event this side of the world is turning 30 next Sunday and with that comes 29 years of great material to watch and honor this week. 

I highly recommend watching these Wrestlemania moments on the WWE Network for best picture quality. If you are not from America or broke like me, the youtube/dailymotion/weird Japanese video players I will be embedding will have to do as usual...

Enjoy!

Song of the Day - Your carpet is my ceiling

K.C. Milian - Your carpet is my ceiling from K.C. Milian EP (2004)

Happy first day of Spring!

Enjoy it with some laid-back post rock that's a little bit screamo with American Football-like trumpets.



Italian Football.

Song of the Day - Easy Green

A.M. Overcast - Easy Green from Extractions (2008)

Solo math rock project from Alexander Litinsky of Winnipeg. He's also in a band called Grand Beach.



Includes a little Battlestar Galactica, the original one with Dirk "Faceman" Benedict, sample to close this opening track.

Theme Week - Ring Destruction

This week's theme is all about destruction not so much in the squared circle, but destruction of the squared circle. Whether it be kayfabe, a disaster, or just a shitty ring, every match will include some sort of modification to the wrestling ring. Example:

^This one was the result of WWE's 7 year rule; if something happened 7 years ago, it can just be done again and passed off as new.

Song of the Day - Olee-Wah

Jerkagram - Olee-Wah from Let's Talk About Us (2014)

I'm having a hard time putting my finger on what exactly Jerkagram sound like without making it sound like something else, because,well, it's really not like something else. Very heavy on the groove, almost prog like, but also a bit math-y and psychedelic.

Song of the Day - Camel Clutch

Zletovsko - Camel Clutch from Zletovsko (2013)

I typed in Camel Clutch into Spotify and found this song by the Japanese "zheul" band, Zletovsko!

Very reminiscent of another experimental Japanese band, Sax Ruins; a saxophone side project of Ruins.

Song of the Day - Caramel

Piglet - Caramel from Lava Land (2005)

One of the most underrated instrumental math rock groups of the 2000's, and I don't use that 'underrated' word lightly.

 

For fans of music.

Theme Week - Triple Threats

Plain and simple, every match this week will involve three people taking on each other. In honor of Sabu vs. Shane Douglas vs. Terry Funk from ECW's The Night The Line Was Crossed (1994) which took place 20 years ago this week.

Enjoy.

Match of the Day - Cabana/Quackenbush at National Pro Wrestling Day 2013

Colt Cabana vs. Mike Quackenbush - Nation Pro Wrestling Day (2013)

Happy Pro Wrestling Day, everyone!

This is only one of many matches put on last year for the 8 hour inter-promotional NPWD event in Philly.

This years event, while not as long, was set up as a free show with all donations going to the Against Malaria Foundation. Apparently, all the money raised will go to the purchase of Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets that may or may not have John Cena on them.

Watch the replay of this year's show now, here!

Song of the Day - Den Femte Statsmakt

Black Debbath - Den Femte Statsmakt from Den Femte Statsmakt (2004)

Norwegian heavy metal/stoner metal by way of Black Sabbath.

Not, by any means, meant to be taken seriously.
