Song of the Day - HW:R

True Widow - HW:R from Circumambulation (2013)

The heavily addictive slowcore meets shoegaze brooding wrecking ball, True Widow have a new album coming out soon via their new record label, Relapse Records and this is their single, entitled, HW:R.


Get excited.

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.

Food: cake!

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 hanging high 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.

Theme of the Week: Food Fights!
