Match of the Day - La Parka defeats the macho one?!?

Macho Man Randy Savage vs. La Parka - Monday Nitro (1997)

Macho Man Randy Savage gets more than he bargained for when "the Chairman" La Parka diamond cuts him out of no where in the middle of the ring and reveals to everyone that he was a certain arch-nemesis of the virus that was nWo. 

Who was it? I'll give you another hint: It was that self high fiving yoga guy.

Match of the Day - The first fans bring the LEGO deathmatch!

Flip vs. Stinky the Homeless Guy - Fans Bring The LEGO Deathmatch - Inter Species Wrestling 4 Years of This?! (2009)

Flip takes on his former Lady and the Tramp tag team partner, the late Stinky the Homeless Guy in a match featuring everyone's favorite childhood building toys, LEGOs!

Before you start rolling your eyes at me internet goers, hear me out: Would you rather not get put through a table, get fluorescent lights smashed over your head, or step on a Lego? I know which one I'd rather not have to deal with... the Lego one, of course! That shit hurts like hell.

Okay, so being slammed on some Legos wouldn't be as painful as, say, a gusset or a kenzan (look it up), but  you gotta at least give it up to these two for going where not a lot of wrestlers had gone before... the toy box.

Also, check out that sweet D'Lo Brown Lego vest! This match touches all my childhood nostalgia buttons.

Song of the Day - That Summer Feeling

Jonathan Richman - That Summer Feeling from I, Jonathan (1992)

That feel. It's coming.

Fun fact: My biology teacher in high school was cousins with good ol' Jonathan. No big deal.

Match of the Day - The Shelley/Strong/Dutt/Aries Bound For Glory pre-show

Alex Shelley vs. Roderick Strong vs. Sonjay Dutt vs. Austin Aries - TNA Bound For Glory (pre-show) (2005)

Since TNA's Bound For Glory PPV in 2005 was so jam-packed with total non-stop action, hah, the X Division showcase of future/present indy mega stars had to open the free BOG pre-show. The 4-way match includes two soon-to-be World X Cup winners (Dutt and Shelley from Team USA), a very successful X Division and tag team champion around the world (Shelley), Two eventual winners of the ROH world title (Strong and Aries), a TNA champion (Aries), and an athlete who still deserves a lot more (Dutt).

Enjoy.

Song of the Day - Memorial Day Night

Dead Confederate - Memorial Day Night from Dead Confederate EP (2007)

Song of the day fifth year in the row. The Saddest song I know.

Match of the Debut - Waylon Mercy shows no mercy on his first jobber

Waylon Mercy vs. Bill Weaver - WWF Superstars (1995)

Waylon Mercy, played by a former NWA/WCW and WWF wrestler, Dan Spivey, was a character inspired by Robert De Niro's Max Cady character from Scorsese remake of Cape Fear. The character would be Spivey's last run in WWF as well as wrestling all together due to the built-up injuries that he had sustained through the course of his 20 plus year career. Spivey as Mercy only lasted a few months with one PPV appearance and a few semi high profile matches with Bret Hart, Diesel, and his former American Starship partner, Scott Hall.

The character of Waylon Mercy may be long since gone and went, but the wrestling portrayal of De Niro's Max Cady persona now lives on in Bray Wyatt, who is soon to make his debut in the big leagues with his "family" any day now.
