Match of the Day - Happy New Year's Eve with The King & Gregory Helms
Jerry "The King" Lawler vs. Gregory "don't call me The Hurricane anymore" Helms - WWE New Year's Revolution (2006)
I don't really remember the story behind this match.
It's at New Year's Revolution, though... so it's relevant.
A plus in this match is listening to Joey Styles on commentary. Unfortunately you have to also listen to Jonathan Coachman. Remember that guy? Listening to Gregory Helms commentate during his own match was more entertaining than that joker.

Song of the Day - Empty Ocean
Butcher Boy - Empty Ocean from Shoreless Sea (2012)
Here's another local number for ya. It's by Portland's own Butcher Boy. These guys aren't breaking up though; they're actually going on a nation-wide-ish tour real soon!
While this song has been featured on their live release, 'Get Butchered', this version is a much slower and spookier rendition. It's also one of my favorite tracks of 2012.

Match of the Day - The Underfaker fakes out a ham & egger
Ted Dibiase's Undertaker vs. Mike Bell - Raw (1994)
Not too soon after Undertaker's demise at the hands of Yokozuna (with the help of Mr. Fuji's men of course) in the casket match at the 1994 Royal Rumble, The Undertaker would again resurface by his new manager, "The Million Dollar Man" Ted Dibiase. This Underatker was a little different than the last time we saw him however as he was now being controlled by money rather than the power of The Urn.
Eventually Paul Bearer would bring back the real Undertaker, now donning a sweet purple and black look, to destroy this impostor 'Taker and once again be WWF's only dead man.
Before The fake Undertaker or "Underfaker" took on The real Undertaker at Summerslam, he beat up a few jobbers on Raw to prove that he was definitely not the real Undertaker.
Mike Bell is the victim in this early sighting of The Underfaker played by Brian Lee who later wrestled as Chainz in the Disciples of Apocalypse (with a biker look before The real Undertaker did that too) and also as that guy who was pushed off a scaffold onto a dozen tables in ECW.
Mike Bell also wrestled in ECW under the nickname "Mad Dog". Bell can be seen in the film, Bigger, Faster, Stronger a documentary about drug and steroid abuse - a problem Bell had that led to his death at age 37.
Some may also know Bell as that guy Perry Saturn dropped on his head.
For Lee, the whole Undertaker deal didn't work out after Summerslam, but he did get to play The Undertaker in a Bollywood film called Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi where he "kills" Crush (Brian Adams) in a wrestling match on top of a building(?).
I've also heard that Brian Lee is Mark "The Undertaker" Calaway's real life cousin and that he once had an affair with Calaway's first wife. Whether or not the latter is true, Lee is a real life cousin to the Harris Brothers (who also wrestled in DOA along with Crush no less).

Song of the Day - House
The Waldos - House from Sludged Out Fish Logic (2011)
Tonight The Waldos of Portland, Maine played their last show. It's a shame to see another stellar local act call it quits but bands in Portland are like the city itself... They rise like a phoenix and in that phoenix is a new band that is even cooler than the last.
For any of you who don't know, Portland is sorta like a phoenix since it burned down three times.
...and rose of course.

RIP The Waldos (2010-2012)

Match of the Day - Valentine/Piper dog collar classic
Greg Valentine vs. Roddy Piper - Starrcade (1983)
This classic from the first-ever Starrcade back in 1983 (that's before Wrestlemania, oh my), is probably one of the most brutal and dare I say, most hardcore matches of the 80s. Yes there was lots of bloody cage matches around this time (along with Ric Flair blading since he was old enough to handle razors), but this match, this feud if you will, backed up by the fact that this was a dog collar match - not just a strap match where the two combatants are held together by the wrist with a leather strap or rope, but a steel chain - made this match one intense confrontation.
This was no gimmick match.
This back and forth style battle ends with Roddy Piper covering Valentine up with the help of the chain, but Piper does not get the chance to celebrate his victory in this non-titled match (Valentine was the US heavyweight champ at the time) as Valentine would assault Piper from behind and beat a mud-hole in the rowdy-one with the chain until the ref gingerly tells him to stop and Valentine leaves the ring.
Good stuff.

Song of the Day - Grot
St. Vincent - Grot from the KROKODIL Record Store Day 7'' (2012)
I just remembered this sick Record Store Day exclusive featuring St. Vincent doing her/their best doom metal meets indie rock impression. This is definitely one of St. Vincent's coolest things done this year... blah blah blah Twilight blah blah blah David Byrne.
This song can also be picked up for free, here!
