Xtreme Outlaw Wrestling 10/30/2010 Brookhaven MS Factory Furniture Store Free show

This is the free show that was promoted at the last XOW show in Brookhaven.it was held at a local furniture store. I showed up about 1 1/2 hours early and ran into the old guy that believes that since Mid South folded wrestling has been fake. Ended up getting to talk to a few of the workers,and got them to autograph a poster from the last show. Checked the gimmick table and they had a dvd. All Pro Productions presents Wrestling at the Carthage Coliseum,Carthage MS Halloween Night 2009. It was only $5 so I picked it up. The front and back covers list,Cameron Valentine,The real deal Neil taylor,CJ Cash,JD Mckay,The Giant Hillbilly,NWA superstar Johnny Morton,Special Ed,and Nick Grymes. They were selling "autographed" pics of Stone Cold for $2. There was no chairs,unless you brought your own. So I was happy I had thrown a folding chair in the backseat of my car before I left home.

First match was Soultaker Grim VS Antino Salvadori. Antino was working a mafia gimmick and was the face. Soultaker Grim,Who it turns out owns the ring that was used,was doing a kinda heel undertaker/bikertaker gimmick. Grim riles up the crowd ,and after about 8 minutes of action hits Salvadori with a chokeslam to get the pin. The kids in front of me asked their dad if Soultaker Grim was Undertaker's and Kane's older brother.

Next up was Ron "Fat Hardy" Horn VS Faroh of Phunk. I had mentioned before the show to Horn that at the last show he reminded me of Adrian Street. He thanked me and said that he knows Adrian and how cool Adrian is. Faroh of Phunk is wearing a bandanna and a black shirt that on the back it has the naked lady from the 18 wheeler mudflaps and the word FAROH below it. Fairly quick paced match with Faroh doing lots of fast paced moves and Horn stalling and other classic southern heel tricks. After Horn has been stalling for a few minutes I yell "Hey FAT HARDY lock up already!". And the crowd starts to call him Fat Hardy. Horn ends up cheating the win, and this gets the crowd very rowdy.

Jesse Dalton VS Barry Wolf is up next. Barry Wolf is the guy that went by Dustin Wolf at the last show. Barry is also Mr 500 since he came in at 500 in this years PWI 500. Nice back and forth match that last for at least 10 minutes,before Ron Horn runs in and helps Dalton win. This causes the Faroh of Phunk to come out and challenge Dalton and Horn to a tag match later on in the show. After some heckling from a large woman in the crowd.who had about 4 teeth,Horn/Dalton finally accept. The promoter comes on the mic and tells us this will be the main event. Which is kinda weird cause the poster list Kamala VS Mitch "Snakeman" Teretta as the main event.

After the match the announcer tells up they are having a 50/50 raffle. You buy a ticket for a buck. And before the main event they will pick a winner. The winner gets half of the ticket sales money and gets to come out with one of the teams at the main event.

I look over to the door that is serving as the lockroom door,and see Snakeman coming out. He walks to the ring and then opens up his canvas bag and throws out his at least 7 foot long albino python. I am puzzled why the advertisted main event is happening as the 4th match of a promised 7 matches. Then some tribal music hits and out comes Kamala. Who looks like he is weighing in at 250 tops now. No Akbar or Kim Chee as his manager instead he has a guy,that I was told is training. Seems this guys name is Soul Train. He is a average height kinda chubby super pale white guy. The crowd kinda doesn't know how to react,since both guys are faces. Kamala refuses to get in the ring until the snake is put back in the bag. Finally they lock up,and Kamala throws Snakeman into the corner. After about 6 minutes of chops,and shoulderblocks from Kamala,Ron Horn hits the ring and causes a draw. I found this kinda weird. I figure it might be cause both guys are faces.

Time for intermission,so I walk back to the gimmick table and see they have sold out of the DVD I bought and have a new one for sale. All Pro Wrestling,Philadelphia MS Feb 20,2010. And it list a lineup of Jerry the King Lawler,Rob Horn aka Ron Horn,Neil The real deal Taylor,Anton Leveigh,Monty Warbucks,Hollywood Jimmy,Lord Humongons,and Mitch Teretta.I check the back and it has 6 matches listed. And buy it since it is $5. I go back and sit down and see that Dustin/Barry Wolf is at ringside and so I go up and talk to him. Turns out he had read my review of the last show. And then he offers to autograph my dvd,and I get a picture with him. A few minutes later the Faroh of Phunk comes out,I go to get a pic with him and he comments on how most of the audience is taller than him. Then Mitch Snakeman Teretta hits the ring. He is doing free autographs and taking pics with his snake in the ring for $5. I got get a pic taken. And he tells me he will have it printed up for me later in the show. Kamala comes out and is charging $5 for autographs. And the promoter is selling a program for $2 that has pics of most of the guys on the show,plus various other wrestlers that work in this area. I end up buying a poster of the event from a kid for $3 and after the show got a few of the guys to autograph it. I go talk to the announcer and he tells me he will give me the match listings after the show. So I spelled all the names as they were listed.

Finally intermission is over and John Thor comes out,but he sadly doesn't have his cane with him. Then "King of the Road" hits and The Giant Hillbilly comes out. The crowd goes fucking insane. Hillbilly seems to almost be more over than Kamala. They work almost the same match as the last time I saw them. But the crowd again gets really into it. Giant Hillbilly hits a giant splash in the corner and pins Thor for the 3 count.

Jay Blade is out next,and since he was one of the best workers on the last card I am excited. He is working heel again. Then the announcer tells us that The Nick Mason Experience is on his way to the ring. Nick it turns out is the skinny teenage kid I saw earlier putting the ring together. Fun cruiserweight style match.

Now it's time to see who wins the 50/50 raffle. Turns out to be some teenager. He goes and gets his half of the money. And it is time for the main event. Out first is Ron Horn and Jesse Dalton. They get heckled by the crowd and Barry Wolf and the Faroh of Phunk hit the ring. This was your classic southern style tag match. With Horn and Dalton cutting off the ring on Wolf. And cheating every time the ref is distracted. Wolf is like a modern day deep south indy Ricky Morton. His selling is getting the crowd all worked up. The woman with 3 teeth says something I can't make out,but it causes Horn to LOL for 3 or 4 minutes. Finally the Faroh gets the hot-tag. And he cleans house. Him and Wolf do a double roll-up and win the match. As soon as the match is over the crowd starts walking off. But Ron Horn gets on the mic and talks about how they just got a free wrestling show. And should at least go take a look inside the local furniture store that is sponsoring the show. Sadly most of the crowd ignores him. I go thank the promoter and the store owner for the show. And then got to talk to John Thor and Jay Blade for a few minutes. Overall it was a better show than the last one in town. And I am hoping the 2 DVDs I bought will also be just as fun.

Texas Chain Saw Massacre

Ahh this is not only my favorite horror film ever,but in my top 5 favorite films ever. I first saw this film at the drive-in with my dad and my cousin. I was 3 years old and Dad figured I would fall asleep before the film started. But it turned out I stood up on the backseat and watched the entire film. Turns out this was the first movie I ever saw. The film starts out with 5 hippies in a van heading to a remote location in rural Texas. They are heading to one of their grandfather's old houses. On the way they pick up a hitchhiker that after being just plain strange attacks the one hippie that is in a wheelchair. They throw the hitchhiker out and he marks the side of the van with blood. After finding the old house,two of the hippies go off to what they are told is an old swimming hole. Well it is dried up and they see a house off in the distance. So they go to see if they might be able to get some gas. Big mistake,cause this is the Sawyer family house and they both run into Leatherface. This is a film that once it starts the intensity level never backs down. From the first kill to the final "dinner" scene it is a full throttle attack on your senses. The grain of the film stock and the various strange sounds add to the realism of the film and help make the viewers uneasy. One thing that stands out is how most people act like this is one of the goriest films ever,but really besides the scene in the van ,there is very very very little blood on screen. Most of the violence is implied and left off screen. Another thing most people miss on first viewing is that Leatherface has more than one mask. During the dinner scene he is wearing a mask that has a more womanly look to it. Texas Chain Saw Massacre gets a perfect A+.

Friday the 13th part 5

The much shit upon entry in this long running horror series. It is also the one with the most kills. Tommy from part 4 is now outta the nuthouse and living at a group home. But it seems Jason is back and is killing all the residents of the home. I have always loved this film,and have defended it for years. The kills are interesting,like the one were someone is killed by having a road flare shoved into their mouth. This time while watching it I listened to the fan commentary by the guys from Deadpit Radio. And Uncle Bill And CK helped make a entertaining film even better. I had actually forgotten that Dudley from Different Strokes has a kinda major part in this film. And the scene were his brother is in the outhouse singing along with his girl is so bad it is great. One thing that I had never noticed till I listened to the commentary is how when Tommy is seeing the imaginary Jason the mask has the normal red stripes but when it is the fake Jason it has blue stripes. Thanks to some good kills and a general fun atmosphere Friday 5 gets a B-.

Night of the Demons 2009 remake

I acquired a copy of this last weekend and finally got around to watching it the other day. Same basic premise as the original. Teens in a house ,demons attack blah blah blah. But this time you have a cast of somewhat knowns. Like Monica Keena,Edward Furlong,Shannon Elizabeth,and Diora Bard. There is a nice cameo from Linnea Quigley near the beginning of the film. And it is a nice reference to the original. Diora Bard does the infamous lipstick gag,and while it has been changed it still works pretty well. Furlong is the male lead and is convincing playing a pudgy,bloated,drug dealing sleazebag. Keena is the female lead and does a good job,plus she is still looking incredibly hot. Shannon Elizabeth plays Angela,and does an ok job. I have found that outside Jack Frost and American Pie I really don't care for Ms Elizabeth. The various effects are good. And the demon makeup is well done. Sadly Tiffany Shepis has what amounts to about a 5 minute cameo. She deserves better. I do like how the ending was changed and it is very effective. Night of the Demons 2009 remake earns a solid B+.

Elvira's Movie Macabre The Satanic Rites of Dracula


I just finished watching this weeks episode of the new Elvira show. I have seen SRoD at least 2 times before and haven't ever really enjoyed it. Well even Elvira her cleavage and her witty quips couldn't save this shitstorm of a film. First off I am not a huge fan of the the various Hammer horror movies. Really the only one I enjoy is "Curse of the Werewolf" and that is more cause I am a huge fan of the late Oliver Reed. This is the second to last of the Hammer vampire movies. It is set in the current day of the 70's. A satanic cult is loose in England and sacrificing various nude women. The police find out and call on Peter Cushing as Van Helsing to help out. What really sucks about the movie is it is at least a third of the way in before we get to see Christopher Lee as Dracula. And he really doesn't have much to do in the film. I was kinda nice to see a young Joanna Lumley in this film. But even she couldn't save the us from horrible acting and a bad script. By it's self SRoD gets a D- but with the few bits from Elvira it goes up to a C-.

I love cheap dvds part 2

Went to a garage sale this past weekend and got the following for 50 cents each.

House Party II-Pajama Jammy JAM!! Haven't seen this one in about 15 years,and it doesn't hold up that great. But shit it was 50 cents.

Pee Wee's big adventure-Kinda surprised I didn't already own this. The commentary is good.

Darkness Falls-Haven't watched it yet. But IIRC it was about a killer tooth fairy.

Freeway-Modern retelling of Lil red riding hood,this is one that I have had many people recommend to me.

The Crush-This is another one I haven't seen in many many years. Hoping it holds up.

Christina's House-Never heard of this,but I figured for the price it was worth taking a chance.

Exorcist III-This is the only one from the Exorcist series that I enjoy.

Slumber Party Massacre-Shout Factory release

Haven't seen this one in over 20 years. Holds up pretty well and I noticed lots more of the background jokes this viewing. 2 sisters throw a slumber party and a maniac with a power drill stalks and kills them. Simple plot did with a pretty small budget,but somehow it all works and forms a pretty decent slasher film. Most of the FX are good. Another stand out that seems to get overlooked is how the killer moves and his body language. He has this kinda half sidestep half creeping walk that is very strange. This disc also had a documentary,"Sleepless Nights",that was about all 3 films in this series. Lots of interesting stories are told about all of the films. But if you have already read the Femme Fatale issue all about SPM ,you have already heard 80% of what is covered in the documentary. The disc also has a commentary with the directer,a guy that host the kinda offical SPM/SHM fan site. Pretty good commentary that offers up some new informantion. Slumber party massacre gets a A.

Ok sorry folks

I had a minor nervous breakdown earlier today. And so I am heading tomorrow down to Biloxi to spend time with my family. I will try to still do my normal October one horror film each day but I can't promise that I will be able too. No worries I am doing better,but it is the best thing for me right now to not be alone.

Wizard of Gore 2008 Remake-Dimension Extreme DVD

Back when I was working my last job. I had plenty of downtime so I would watch dvds to help pass the time. So I got were I would buy almost any horror film on dvd. This was one of them. Kip Pardue is a writer/publisher for a tiny underground newspaper,and one night he goes to see a magic preformane for Montag the Magnificent,who is played by Crispen Glover. It seems Montag does amazing very gory magic tricks in which it seems he kills random audience members. This fascinates Kip so much he keeps coming back to every performance and tries to figure out how Montag is doing all the tricks. But there is one small catch every person that Montag kills on stage ends up dying in a grisly death a few days later. So Kip starts trying to figure out who is being all the murders. The film has some decetn CGI effects and a nice small role by Geoffry combs. But he is so hidden under makeup that I didn't realize it was him till my second time watching it. The film is also loaded with lots of very trippy scenes that help make you feel very uneasy. All of the murder victums are played by various members of the Suicide Girls website. And while their acting abilities are kinda bad,they make up for it in how their less than normal good looks add to the strangeness of this film. Wizard of gore 2008 remake gets a B+.

Masters of Horror:The V word-Anchor bay dvd

This is an episode from the second and sadly last season of Master of Horror. Directed by Erik Dickerson and written by Mick Garris. This is the story about two late teen guys who goto the local mortuary to see the corpse of a guy that picked on them all the time. One of the guy's older cousin is the night watchman at the mortuary,but when they arrive there no one answers the door. But it is unlocked so they go inside.Once inside they get the feeling that something isn't right. I was impressed with the camera angles and the use of lighting in this section of the film.
Finally they discover that there is a vampire in the mortuary,who is played by Micheal Ironsides. While running away from them,one of the guys falls down the stairs and gets a compound fracture in his leg. So the other guy has to leave him behind. Later that night compound fracture guy shows up at the other guy's home and once he is inside he bites the other guy. And the film goes downhill from here. It started off pretty good and was able to build lots of tension,but once the second guy gets bite the film goes off the rails and even Micheal Ironsides overacting can't save it. This episode gets a C-.

Witchcraft 13 Blood of the Chosen

York Entertainment DVD

Most horror fans have at least heard of the long running “Witchcraft” series of films. They started off as low budget B horror movies but around part 4 morphed into low budget T&A horror movies. Earlier this year when Movie Gallery was closing I found part 13 for $1. Having already seen about 7 or so of the earlier ones I figured I would pick it up. Going in I was expecting lots of nudity and lots of cheap looking gore,but I was majorly wrong. There is almost no nudity at all in this shitpile of a film. And the gore is super low rent. Will Spanner is back for the 10th or so time in this series. He has to solve the mystery of who is killing people and ripping their hearts out. I am pretty sure it is a different actor playing Will this time,but then it has been about 3 years since I saw Witchcraft 12. The acting is worse than porn film acting. The film looks to have been recorded on a old ass vhs camcorder,and is full of grain and video dropouts. Avoid this film at all cost. It isn’t even worth buying to get drunk and laugh at. Witchcraft 13 gets a F-.

Children of the Corn IV the Gathering-Dimension DVD

This is the second of the series to get released straight to video. Starring a very young Naomi Watts and Karen Black ,CotC IV seems to be completely unrelated to the previous entries in the series. But it has been revealed that in a deleted scene we find out the connection to the previous 3 films. Naomi is a young woman who is coming back to her hometown to help take care of her mom. But when she gets there she finds out over night most of the kids started suffering from a high fever and now seem to be possessed. It seems the spirit of a murdered child preacher,Josiah, has possessed them. The possessed kids assume the names of children from Josiah's time and try to bring Josiah back from the dead. It seems in the deleted scene we find out that Josiah has another name "He who walks behind the rows". Now I haven't seen all of the Children of the Corn films,I don't think I have seen 5 or 7. But this one is the best so far. The story is pretty interesting,the acting is way better than it has been. And the FX are really good considering how low the budget had to be. CotC IV earns a B+.

Fangoria Blood Drive II-Koch Vision DVD

In 2005 Fangoria magazine put out a second collection of short horror movies. This one is hosted by the super sexy Mistress Juliya,of FUSE TV fame. There is 8 shorts in total. And also a nice featurette on Bruce Campbell. In the featurette Bruce is interviewed in his home and talks all about his career and what his plans for the future are. While all the shorts on the DVD are worth a watch ,two of them stand out. The Gibbering Horror of Howard Ghormley by Steve Daniels,is a kind of Moebius strip of a man that seems to be either stuck in a time warp or slowly losing what is left of his sanity. Filmed in black and white and silent,except for some background music,this short left me feeling very uneasy and the ending was stuck in my mind for days after viewing. Means to an End by Paul Solet and Jake Hamilton,is about two horror fans that do special effect work for lots of low budget films. After a bad experience on a job,they decide to make their own film. But since they have almost no money they will have to use "inventive" ways to get the gore needed for any horror film. Very very humorous and fun short that has a nice coda. The rest of the shorts are good,but the above two stand head and shoulder above them. I give this DVD a solid B.

Dorm of the Dead-Midnight horror stories DVD

Earlier this year I went to Coast Con in Biloxi MS. One of the dealers had a huge stack of various DVDs. I went through the stack and picked up this film and one other. He wanted $3 each,but I talked him into taking $5 for both. Turns out I got ripped off for $4.98. The movie starts off at Arkham University,and two super snobby girls have a score to settle with a couple of goth girls. One of the snobby rich girls accidentally starts a zombie outbreak on campus. And she thinks Sarah,one of the goth girls,as the perfect person to join the undead. I picked this DVD up for 3 reasons. First off it is a zombie movie,and I love zombie movies. Second,It was cheap. And third is because Tiffany Shepis is listed on the front cover. I think Ms Shepis is the best of the new crop of scream queens,she is not only very cute but a good actress. Well turns out she is in the movie for about 5 minutes tops. And the rest of the main cast are about as talented as a kindergardener in a school play. Even the somewhat abundant nudity can't save this movie from being a total waste of time. Dorm of the Dead gets a F-.

Pet Sematary Special Collectors Edition-Paramount DVD

Found this for $5 the other days and realized that I not only didn't own it but haven't seen it in almost 20 years. Sat down and watched it earlier today,and besides the horrid acting from Denise Crosby,the film holds up pretty well. Mom,Dad and two kids move to a new house somewheres in the backwoods of Maine. Just after they get settled in they meet the next door neighbor,Fred Gwynne, and he shows them the local pet sematary. Well after a few days the Mom and both kids go to visit her parents,and while they are gone the family's pet cat gets run over by one of the many 18 wheelers that speed down the road at all times of the day. Fred tells the husband about a special cemetery that were if you bury something it will come back to life. So Fred and the dad go bury the cat there. But when the cat comes back it has changed. Even the daughter notices this when she gets back. Time passes and one day while the whole family is having a picnic,Gage the little 2 year old son ends up running out into the street and getting hit by a speeding truck. So of course the Dad goes and digs up his dead body and reburies it in the "special" cemetery. Gage comes back but now he is pure evil. The special effects are great practical effects. The story is good,and the acting besides Ms Crosby is very good. Pet Sematary gets a A.

Xtreme Outlaw Wrestling show 9/02/2010 Brookhaven MS

Xtreme Outlaw Wrestling Card 09/02/2010
Lincoln Civic Center in Brookhaven MS

XOW runs shows through out Mississippi and parts of Tennessee. On Wednesday I saw a poster up at the local library. In big letters it said WWE superstars. Then listed the following wrestlers. Kid Kash,Anton Levay,Giant Hillbilly,Brian Christopher,Mr Wrestling,Doink,Chief Pierre Goldstein and The Snakeman. I saw that tickets were only 10 bucks,so I decided to go. Showed up about 40 minutes till they opened the doors. Waited in line and had a old man explain to me how wrestling has been fake since Mid South/UWF folded. Finally the doors open and I go get a seat in the front row. Behind me is a stage and on the corner of it is a old ass video camera on a tripod. Saw they had a gimmick table set up,so I walked over and checked out the merch. There was a couple of WWE DVDs that you can normally find for $5 but they wanted $10. Also they had a bunch of kids WWE shirts. About 20 of the John Cena camo baseball caps. A handful of kid sized foam WWE belts. And weirdly a bunch of rubber snakes. Not seeing anything I wanted to buy I went back to my seat and found out from the guy sitting next to me that on the 30th of this month XOW will be back in Brookhaven with a free outdoor show at a local furniture store. And they guarantee that Kamala will be at the free show. To kill sometime I take a quick count of the crowd and it is about 200 or so. Kinda funny that a tiny Indy fed in a tiny MS town can draw a bigger crowd than IWA-MS has in about a year and a half.

The show starts about 5 minutes late,and a local radio DJ is the announcer. He tells us that tonight will be a tournament for the All Pro World title. The belt looks pretty nice for such a small fed. But first off we are gonna get what he refers to as an exhibition match.

Coming to the ring first is Ron Horn,who is working a prissy heel gimmick. Then next we have Dustin Wolf,who seems to be working the typical southern face gimmick. Horn stalls and does a few comedy spots before locking up. After a couple of arm drags by Wolf the guy sitting behind me calls Horn "FAT HARDY". Which gets the crowd to start up a "FAT HARDY" chant. Both guys did a great job getting the crowd worked up with lots of interaction. After about 15 minutes of decent back and forth action ,Horn wins by holding the tights of Wolf. Fat Hardy hauls ass to the back. While Dustin walks around shaking hands with all the kids. Before the next match can start the crowd notices Horn walking outta the big bay door of the civic center,and they boo him again.

First match in the All Pro World title tournament is John Thor versus The Snakeman. Thor comes out first looking like Greg Allman and Sandman mated and produced a kid. He evens has his own version of a Singapore cane,which I swear is a cane fishing pole. Thor is obviously a heel,and starts interacting with the crowd. Then The Snakeman comes out with a big canvas drawstring bag. He opens up the bag and throws a huge snake,at least 8 foot long,into the ring. All the kids and half the adults start running up to the ring. The one guy they had working security does his best to keep the audience away from the snake. Big surprise John Thor is afraid of the snake. Finally after about 6 minutes of stalling and yelling at the crowd Thor finally gets in the ring and locks up with Snakeman. Another decent 12 minute or so match. Thor gets the cane and hits Snakeman with it 3 times,and the cane splitters. The ref signals for the end of the match,and Snakeman advances when John Thor gets DQed for using the cane.

Second match in the tournament is Jay Blade versus Anton Levay. Blade is out first and has some nice looking ring gear. Anton Levay comes out next and the guy next to me talks about how Levay looks like Fez from that 70's show. They lock up and run the ropes a few times.Levay gets thrown outta the ring and lands right in front of me. Then Jay Blade climbs to the top turnbuckle and hits Levay with a flying cross body block. They brawl around the crowd and end up on the stage behind me. Blade slams Anton off the stage to the hard concrete floor. Blade goes for another cross body and misses. They get back in the ring and Anton throw about 3 very nice looking kicks. Levay climbs the ropes and hits a frog splash for the pin. This ended up being the best match on the card,and had a nice crusierweight feel too it. After the match Anton gets on the mic and cuts a promo about how he loves wrestling in Mississippi but he hates the MS athletic commission. He mentions how lots of what he said is going over most of the crowd head.

Intermission time,and The Snakeman is out for autographs and pics. 75% of the crowd goes to get a picture made with Snakeman. I bend over to get the drink I had under my seat,and when I pick my head back up I see about 10 kids in the ring. After a few minutes some lady comes out and gets the kids outta the ring. So all the kids go over the announcer's table,which has the All Pro World title belt on it. And they take turns posing with the belt. I hear the sound of a cowbell,and see the Giant Hillbilly coming outta the back and he heads to the ring. He gets one of the mics and talks about how his opponent can't make it tonight,but he wanted to come out and thank the crowd for coming to the show tonight. Hillbilly is busy talking to the crowd when John Thor hits the ring and smacks the Giant Hillbilly 2 times with his splintered cane. Hillbilly gets pissed off and hollers at the promoter that he wants a match tonight with Thor. The promoter agrees to this and sets the match ,which will happen when intermission is over.

4th match of the card , Giant Hillbilly versus John Thor. Thor comes out first and has Jay Blade with him. Giant Hillbilly is next and he gets right in the ring,but Thor stays outside the ring and heckles a rather large lady in the front row. One of the kids on the other side of the ring from me,walks up and hands the Giant Hillbilly a rubber snake. Hillbilly gets Thor to finally get into the ring,and when Thor gets near him. Hillbilly shows him the snake. Thor runs away,and Giant Hillbilly throws the toy snake at him. After what seemed like 10 minutes of heckling the crowd,Thor gets in the ring and the match starts. Giant Hillbilly works the standard big man offence.He slams Thor a few times and does a big splash in the corner. After the splash Hillbilly gets the pin. Not that good of a match,mainly cause Hillbilly is kinda limited. But the crowd was really into the match ,and the kids were chanting "HILLBILLY" through out most of the match.

Final of the All Pro World title tournament is Anton Levay vs The Snakeman. Both guys shake hands and hug to start the match. Snakeman does lots of power moves,and Levay is all crusierweightish. The crowd seemed to be evenly split between Levay and Snakeman. After about 10 minutes of mat action ,Levay hits a good frog splash and gets the win.

Turns out that a bunch of guys no-showed. I am not sure if maybe the Athletic commission had anything to do with this. Kinda sucks that 4 guys listed on the poster weren't at the show. But the show was more than worth the 10 bucks admission.

April Fools Day 2008 remake-Sony dvd

Found this one at Big Lots a few months back for $3. I enjoyed the original so picked this up hoping it would almost as good. It comes kinda close. Movie starts off with a prank gone wrong,and someone dies. Fast forward a year,and one by one the main group of friends end up dying. Until only Desiree Cartier is left. But just like in the original there is a twist at the end. Sadly I called the twist about 10 minutes into the film. The acting was decent ,and it helps that the lady playing Desiree is smoking hot. Plus you have Scout taylor compton,who is also mega-cute. The various deaths are well staged. The dvd is barebones,no commentary,no trailer,nothing but the film. But at the cheap price I wasn't expecting much more than the film. April Fools Day 2008 gets a C+.

Christine-Encore Drama airing

I actually had planned on watching either Frankenhooker or Header today. But about 30 minutes after I woke up I noticed that Christine was airing on Encore Drama. I realized I haven't seen this movie in over 20 years. Arnie and Dennis have been friends for many many years. Then Arnie buys a beat up Plymouth Fury. Pretty quickly Arnie goes from being a nerdy little guy to being a cooler version of John Travolta in Grease. A couple of guys from the high school don't like Arnie and sneak in one night and totally destroy the car. Arnie sees this is and is devastated ,but we see the car repairing itself. A few minutes later Christine,Arnie's car,is hunting down the guys that damaged "her" and kills them all off. I had read the novel this is based on about a year or so ago. So that version of the story was fresher in my mind. And really the book is much better. In the film there really isn't a reason for Christine being able to repair "herself" or all the other supernatural abilities the car has. But in the novel you find out that the car is possessed by the spirit of it's former owner. But the film is still a fun way to pass some time and gets a B.
