I wonder if this is what inspired the Rock to create the People's Elbow?

Micheal PS Hayes VS some jobber from AWF
This is from the short lived AWF. Which from what I can dig up was syndicated into at least 4/5ths of the country. Also seems like that lots of areas it aired at like 2am on Sunday Morning. I can remember coming home from either a party or a night at the bar and turning this on. It was fun you had 1 hour of AWF then WCW Worldwide.  I wonder if a young Dwayne Johnson saw this match and modernized Haye's finisher?

The "lost" great tag team of the 90's.

Never given their due. I am guessing cause they spent most of their time in Memphis and the USWA. This was one of the best tag teams of the whole decade of the 90;s. They had a match in ECW  vs Little Spike Dudley and Mikey Whipwreck that I will try to post soon,.

WCW bash at the beach 1997 lucha libre 6 man tag

Remember when you usually got a fun lucha libre match at most WCW ppvs?

FCBD 2011

Since there is no comic shops really near me. The past few years I have drove down to 3 Alarm Comics in Biloxi Mississippi. Last year I made two trips to the comic shop on FCBD. One early in the morning ,and then later that day. On the second trip I took my 8 year old cousin Jared. He has started getting into comics so I do whatever I can to encourge him to read them. Well today we decided to get to the shop right after they opened. I was expecting what had happened last year. IE the shop having in 4 artists and at first there being a limit of 2 free comics per customer. Well we showed up about 10 minutes after the store had opened and it was super crowded. Seems the owner had brought in 8 artists. The only one I knew was Mitch Byrd. Who is from the area and seems that most people if they have heard of him ,remember his run on Guy Gardner Warrior comic. Well Jared wanted to look around so we spent about 20 minutes looking at action figures and wall books. Saw some good wall books at decent prices. But really nothing I want. Also saw some good figures again at good prices. But I really don't have much room to display action figures. Well Jared found the newest issue of Sonic the Hedgehog. So he picked that up and then walked over to the rack that had all the free comics on it. I then went off looking for some of the trades I wanted. Found the shelf with the various Showcase presents trades. Nice selection and I picked up Jonah Hex,Shazam,and House of Mystery volumes 1 and 2. All of them for a decent amount off cover. So I started looking for the shelf with all the Marvel Essentials. Looked all over ,then finally saw it was right behind some of the artists. So I kinda reached around and grabbed Essential X-men volumes 4-7. Gotta say I haven't read this era of X-men in over 20 years and I am really enjoying them. Well by this time the store is super crowded,and well I don't handle crowds too well. So I quickly found Walking Dead Volume 10 and then made my way to the free comic rack. Saw Jared had put back the issue of Sonic. So I asked him why. "Why pay 3 bucks when they have one that is free?" Can't really argue with his logic. One strange thing,I had went the night before with him and his lil brother to see Thor and both of them loved the movie. So when I saw the FCBD Captain American/Thor issue I figured Jared would be all over it like a fat chick loves steak'ums. He showed no interest in it,but did pick up Atomic Robo,Silver Scorpion,and the James Patterson Wizards and something book. I ended up getting one of every issue they still had in stock. By this time I am already starting to shake,and knew I had to get out of there quick. So I walked over to the register,and was surprised there wasn't a line. Guy rang up my trades and I got a nice discount. So far all I have read was the 2000 AD FCBD edition. And it was a nice way to introduce people to the various stories that run in 2000 AD, Over all it was a fun day and I will be back next year.

Serial Mom

Serial Mom by John Waters

Made in the mid 90's this was one of the more high profile and mainstream films to come from the mind of John Waters. It stars Kathleen Turner as the Serial Mom of the film title. Sam Waterson as her husband. Matthew Lillard as her horror movie loving son. And Ricki Lake as her boy crazy collectible selling daughter. Film starts off almost like a modern color version of Leave it to Beaver. But once her husband heads off to work and the kids are off to school the cracks in Ms Turner's facade start to show. Seems she loves to call one of the neighbor women and scream all kinds of obscenity's at her. Well after this she is off to the high school for a PTA meeting with her son's math teacher. The teacher tells her that Lillard is a deviant who is obsessed with horror movies. This pisses off Serial Mom and she catches the teacher in the parking lot and runs him over multiple times with her car. She heads off and gets the car washed before heading home to start cooking dinner for her family. The next morning the cops show up at her house to question her. Seems there was a witness who saw a blue station wagon run over the teacher. And Serial Mom is the only parent who was at school that day that has a blue station wagon. She answers the police's questions. And tries to help her daughter get over being stood up by the boy who was suppose to drive her to the flea market today. We head off to the flea market. And we see the aforementioned boy there with a super cute Traci Lords on his arm. Serial Mom sees this and follows him into the bathroom. Then runs him through with a fireplace poker. Well again there is a witness,but the cops don't believe him. Well the movie goes on with Serial Mom going after anyone that she believes is doing wrong to her family. And the family begins to suspect that their beloved matriarch is a killer. This film is a fun dark comedy that is a satire of the media circus that surrounds most high profile murder cases. The cast is all very good at their roles. And this has a decent amount of gore mixed with some very very black humor. I have enjoyed this film since the first time I saw it back when it hit VHS. Serial Mom earns a B+.

Major League Wrestling 04/23/2011 aired on Fox 40 outta Jackson Mississippi

Major League Wrestling 04/23/2011

First match- Rick Santell VS The Graduate Jason James from Southern Allstar Wrestling



We start off with Jason cutting a promo,then goto Rick doing the same.We goto the ring and the match has started. It seems Santell has recently had surgery.

Ladd gets control again and wails on Brown. Brown hits 2 sweet dropkicks. And Brown goes for the pin. But of course Ladd kicks out.

This allows Brickhouse to hit a dropkick to the back of Ernie's head. And Brickhouse gets the 3 count.



5th match Azrieal vs Human Tornado from Maryland Championship Wrestling



This is both guys debut matches in MCW.Tornado seems to be the crowd favorite. This is from the Shane Shamrock Cup 7. Which means it is from a few years ago cause IIRC Human Tornado retired at least 2 years ago. Tornado challenges Azrieal to a test of strength. But Azrieal is way to short to reach Tornado's hand. They lock up. Azrieal gets sent to the corner and Tornado hits him with a monkeyflip. Azrieal goes outside the ring to recover and Tornado hits a sweet plancha. Both guys brawl outside the ring. Till Human Tornado gets back inside the ring. Azrieal hits some chops. And then nails Tornado with a dropkick,and a stiff kick to the back of Tornado's head.

Hosaka goes for a big splash but Brandy gets her knees up in time to block it. Hosaka hits Brandy with a frankensteiner for the pin.



6th match-Jay Lethal vs Jerrelle Clark from NWA Wildside



OK we seems to be getting two different sets of commentators. Which makes it hard to make out what is being said. Jay runs the ropes and Clark catches him with a hiptoss.Back and forth match. With neither guy getting a major advantage. Lots of armdrags from Clark. Lethal goes outside the ring to recover. And once he gets back in he hits Clark with a backbreaker. But Clark kicks out at 2.

Lethal gets out at the 2 count and nails Jerrelle with a dragon suplex. And gets the 3 count.



And that is the end of the show. Was really good. 6 matches with really only the woman's match being kinda crappy. Now I enjoyed Mississippi Championship Wrestling,but this show is 5 times better. Hopefully it will actually air every week and last a long time.

The Lost by Jack Ketchum

The Lost by Jack Ketchum


My rating: 5 of 5 stars





SPOILERS AHEAD BEWARE






This was the first novel I read from Mr Ketchum. I had heard about Jack Ketchum for a few years. And got lucky and found a copy of this novel at the local used bookstore. Ray Pie and a two friends are out in the woods drinking beer and getting high. But Ray is a disturbed young man,he is a total sociopath. He sees two girls that he assumes are lesbians. So He takes his rifle and shoots and kills them.We fast forward a few years. And Ray is still up to his criminal ways. He works and lives at the motel his mother owns. And he seems to get every girl he wants. But the new maid at the motel wants nothing to do with him and this drives Ray crazy. He gets over this,or so we assume,and starts dating a new girl in town. And one night in he tells the new girl about him killing the two girls in the woods. This causes her to want nothing to do with Ray. That pushes Ray over the edge and he goes on a rampage.
This is a great novel that really shows why Ketchum gets so much praise. He gets us into the mind of Ray Pie. And the ending is a orgy of violence that tops most other well known horror authors.

The Black Train by Edward Lee

The Black Train by Edward Lee

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Edward Lee is one sick twisted bastard. And this novel is the best thing I have read from him so far. Set in a small southern town,and soon to be canceled Food Network star is in search of the perfect microbrewed beer.He comes to find out that this town is flooded with ghost. Filled with Lee's normal violence,sex and gore,this is actually a edited version of a small press printing.

Castaways by Brian Keene

Castaways by Brian Keene

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This was the third book from Mr Keene that I have read. And the first two had really bad endings. The setting is a Survivor like reality game show. A group of people are on a tropical island and are being videotaped. But a massive storm is on the way. When the storm hits the group is attacked by some beasts,that very much resemble the beasts from Richard Laymon's Beast house series. Fun fast paced book that is perfect for when you want a quick entertaining read. And this time Keene has a great ending.

Mississippi Championship Wrestling TV show 03/19/2011

Mississippi Championship Wrestling 03/19/2011

MCW is back with a new episode this week. And it is an hour long. We start off with letterboxed footage set to "It's my life" by Bon Jovi. Weird choice of music but whatever.

Match 1 Tatt2 vs Rondale Roosevelt Clipped
Seems the footage is of Tatt2 vs Rondale Roosevelt. IIRC Roosevelt is part of Bruise Brothers 2k.  Tatt2 seems to be a high flyer. Roosevelt hits a nice split legged moonsault,but only gets a 2 count. The match seems to be clipped. And keeps jumping ahead. Tatt2 catches Roosevelt with a stiff kick to the head. And goes for the pin. Roosevelt kicks out at 2. Roosevelt goes up to the top rope. Looks like he was trying to hit a senton. Tatt2 rolls outta the way. And with both guys flat on the mat the ref starts the 10 count. Tatt2 gets up and throws Roosevelt to the ropes and hits some crisp moves.  Tatt2 then hits a rolling thunder then a Asai moonsault. But Roosevelt kicks out at 2. Tatt2 hits a 619,or since this is Mississippi it might be a 601. And again Roosevelt kicks out at 2. Roosevelt hits a modified samon drop. The crowd seems to be behind Tatt2. Tatt2 goes for a second 601/619 but this time Roosevelt moves outta the way. Then he rolls up Tatt2. 1,2,3 Roosevelt gets the pin.

We then cut to a promo from The VIP Cassidy Riley. Riley is the Mid South Heavyweight Champion. Then we cut to Jerry Clower in the ring with JYD and Hacksaw Duggan. This is old footage from Mid South. Clower is wearing a bright red wide lapel jacket.

Match 2

Malek Avalon w/Travion vs Tiger MAsk???

We start off with who I assume is Malek and Travion in the ring. And Malek is parading around with a belt. It looks like the belt says XPW on the front. Weird. Ok I have no idea who this Tiger MAsk is. Malek takes Tiger down with a shoulder tackle. But Tiger gets right back up. Tiger throws Malek to the ropes and does a nice armdrag. Crap this match is clipped. They go outside the ring and Malek gets thrown into the crowd. Tiger throws Malek into the guardrail and I see a shopping cart full of stuff. Wonder if this is a hardcore match?  Cut again and now they are back in the ring. Tiger throws Malek to the corner and hits him with a stiff clothesline. He repeats this again . And then tries it a third time,but Malek ducks. Cut and now Malek has Tiger in the corner and is hitting him with kicks and boots. Tiger rolls outta the ring,and Malek's manager comes over and puts the boots to him. Malek rolls out and throws Tiger into the guardrail. The crowd is kinda small but very very vocal. Malek rolls Tiger back into the ring and goes for a pin. Cut and Tiger is running off the ropes when Malek catches him with a nice dropkick. Malek goes for the pin. Cut and now they are both in the corner.Tiger charges into the corner but Malek smacks him with a big elbow. Tiger recovers and does a great looking double underhook suplex. He pins Malek. But Malek kicks out. Cut and Malek hits a jawbreaker. Cut and Tiger knocks Malek off his feet with a clothesline then hits a belly to belly suplex. Tiger goes for the pin but only gets a 2 count. Cut and Malek is in the corner. Tiger runs the ropes,and Malek catches him with a superkick. Malek climbs to the top rope. He seems to be going for a crossbody block,but Tiger dodges it. Tiger hits a crisp german suplex,rolls and hits another. He rolls again and is trying for a third but Malek gets outta the hold. Tiger gets thrown into the ropes,and Malek's manager rips Tiger MAsk's mask off.  Malek then rolls Tiger MAsk up for the pin.


Match 3 Ron Horn vs Wade Garrett
We goto some black and white footage.  Quickly it goes back to color and Garrett is beating the crap outta Horn. Cut and we see Horn throwing Garrett into some lockers. Ok this seems to be a hardcore match. We get lots of quick clips of both guys using tables,ladders and chairs. It seems that Garrett wins. I wish they had shown this entire match. Mainly cause Horn always is entertaining to watch. The guy has natural charisma and knows how to work the crowd.

We goto another promo from Cassidey Riley and they are advertising a show in Yazoo City.

Match 4 Monty Warbucks Vs Joe Kane

They tie up and Warbucks gets a side headlock. I am assuming that Kane is a face. The two guys tie up again and Warbucks gets another side headlock. He throws Kane into the ropes and takes him down with a shoulder tackle. Weird the crowd seems to be behind Warbucks,so I guess he is a face. IIRC last time Warbucks was on MCW he was a heel. Warbucks and Kane circle the ring. And Kane throws Monty into the ropes. But Monty knocks Joe to the mat and drops an elbow on him. Joe exits the ring,and Warbucks jawjacks with the crowd for awhile.Kane comes back into the ring,and Warbucks nails him with some quick punches. Kane hits Monty with a huge punch and Monty goes down. He gets up and throws Kane into the corner. Monty goes for a big splash but Kane gets outta the way. Monty ends up an a halfass tree of woe. So Kane does a running dropkick and Monty falls to the floor. Kane follows him to the floor and works on Monty's arm. Kane and Monty get back into the ring. And Kane twist Monty's right arm. Strange I was told that wrestlers always work on the left side. Maybe Joe Kane was trained in the Lucha Libre style,in which they work on the right side.  Now Kane is working on Monty's left arm. But Warbucks catches Kane off guard with a hard punch. Warbucks is thrown to the ropes and Kane hits a flying clothesline. Warbucks hits a nice spinebuster. Then a suplex. Monty goes for an elbow drop,but Joe Kane rolls outta the way. Kane catches Monty with a modified side Russian legsweep and gets the pin.


Match 5 Iceman King Parsens vs Brickhouse Brown
Now we cut to Ron Tronguard??? Wait this is AWA footage from ESPN Classic. Strange. Ok now we have graphics at the bottom of the screen telling us this is "Classic Wrestling from AWA/MCW" Ice Man King Parsens Vs Brickhouse Brown.  Seems this match is from Superclash III. Parsens is the Texas Heavyweight Champion. Iceman is wearing a sweet reflective blue top hat. Crap Vern Gagne is on the mic,and as usual he sucks. Brown shoves Iceman to the mat. And they lock up. Brown gets thrown to the ropes but hits Iceman with a very very sweet dropkick. It is almost as good as Bob Holly's dropkicks. Brickhouse gets Parsens in a side headlock.  Brickhouse runs the ropes and hits Parsens with two solid shoulder tackles. Brown goes for a backslide but Iceman gets out. Iceman throws Brown to the ropes and catches him with a good kneelift. Then Parsens takes Brown down with a short clothesline. And then hits a snap suplex. Parsens goes for the pin,But Brown kicks out at 2. Parsens then hits Brown with 3 punches and Brown hits the mat. Parsens goes for a piledriver. Brown reverses it into a back body drop.  Iceman rolls to the corner and begs for mercy. But Brown ignores this and throws Iceman to the ropes. Brown hits a flying bodypress. Iceman pulls some brass knucks outta his tights and hits Brown with them. 1,2,3 Iceman King Parsens wins.

We cut to Jimmy Hart in some studio talking about the new Fabulous ones. It seems one of them is Porkchop Cash. We get various footage of them posing and walking around in red velvet tuxes. While "You dropped a bomb" is playing. A graphic at the bottom of the screen informs me that this is "The Bruise Brothers .... The Beginning part 1". Neat stuff to see,but I would have rather they didn't show this and instead we had gotten the entire Ron Horn match. Now we cut to some tall guy wearing a shirt with the Punisher skull on it. Some rap song is playing in the background. I have no idea what the song is,but then I also haven't kept up with rap since about 1994. Ok this seems to be clips from various matches. And the guy in the Punisher shirt is Kevin Northcutt I think. Kevin seems to be a decent wrestler and very agile for being such a tall guy. Neat he is attacking some people with a flaming chair. We also see Kevin hit a few superkicks. Strangely some of the footage is full screen and some of it is letterboxed. I wonder if any wrestler out there has ever used "the Ramones-The Crusher" for their entrance music?  We now goto some fat guy in the ring ,and who I think is Kevin Northcutt. This seems to be more clips from a match,but this time we get the actual audio. Again this is fun,but I rather they had cut this out and given us the complete Tiger Mask and Ron Horn matches. And the show is over. Pretty good show. I just wish they would show entire matches instead of clipped matches.
