New stuff from Philly indie rock/pop punk band, Swearin'. Swearin' is co-fronted by Allison Crutchfield, the twin sister of Waxahatchee and formerly P.S. Eliot and Bad Banana along with her sister. Allison's doing her own thing now with Swearin' and it sounds great. Here's a track from Surfing Strange entitled, "Watered Down".

Match of the Day - The Hardy Boyz "I Quit" match
Jeff Hardy vs. Matt Hardy - "I Quit" match - Backlash (2009)
This is the Hardy Boyz feud where Matt Hardy hinted that he was responsible for the fire that burned Jeff's home and killed his dog. Why did Matt do it? Jealousy, of course. This feud first started when Matt lost the ECW title to Jack Swagger (remember that?) and later attacked Jeff with a chair, costing his brother the World Heavyweight title. With the Hardy's title-less, it was the perfect time for the two brothers to finally have a big feud for who's the better Hardy Boy... apparently.
The Hardy Boyz "I Quit" match at Backlash was the final chapter of their four part saga. Ironically, this match included the Hardy's working extensively on the leg for the other to experience enough pain to say "I Quit", but in the end when one Hardy came up with the victory, the other walked away with a broken arm.

Match of the Day - The Apache sisters caballera vs. caballera match
Mary Apache vs. Faby Apache - Caballera contra Cabellera (Hair vs. Hair match) - Triplemania XVI (2008)
Speaking of AAA and hair vs. hair matches...
Apparently, this brutal sister feud stems from Faby Apache's relationship with Billy Boy and the Apache sisters' trainer and father, Gran Apache's distaste for Billy Boy. Mary Apache, siding with her father on the whole unworthy boyfriend busy with Billy Boy, takes on her sister, Faby Apache with her real life husband, Billy Boy in her corner in this physical hair vs. hair match. Like the Eddie/Chavo match posted previously, this hair vs. hair match does not end as a usual hair vs. hair match should.
Even without knowing the storyline behind this match, it's still a great fight. Check it out.

Match of the Day - Eddie Guerrero challenges his nephew to a hair vs. hair match
Eddie Guerrero vs. Chavo Guerrero Jr. - Hair vs. Hair match - WCW/nWo Bash at the Beach (1998)
Eddie and Chavo had quite the relationship in wrestling to say the least. It seemed whenever they were together they were either winning titles as a well tandem tag team or slugging it out. While Eddie Guerrero was Chavo's uncle, their bond, and rivalry for that matter, was much more like a brotherly one. It probably didn't help either that the two were only 3 years apart in age and had been wrestling each other (in front of wrestling crowds during intermission) since they were kids.
This particular match between the two Guerrero's in WCW is one of their best. In the video above, the match doesn't start until after Chavo Guerrero wrestlers Stevie Ray of the Harlem Heat. It might seem strange that Chavo would have to fight two matches in a row, not to mention a large competitor like Stevie Ray first, but this was all part of Uncle Eddie's plan to wear down his nephew for before the official match. The official match was no ordinary match either, it was a hair vs. hair - a stipulation Eddie was no stranger to as he had been on the losing end of such a gambling match back in AAA with Los Gringos Locos. Who loses? Who get's their head shaved? Take a look and find out!

Theme Week: Family Feud!
It's a new month and that means a new theme week. I really don't have a reason behind this week's theme other than it was something I wanted to look more into. So, here's a weeks worth of matches featuring someone taking on a family member of theirs. it could be sibling rivalry, cousin confrontation, father versus son, nephew versus uncle, you name it. As long as the competitors are really related (not kayfabe) and it is a match in a real promotion, it's eligible.
Enjoy!
