It’s such a surprise that things didn’t work out for WCW, especially when they came up with brilliant ideas like the Ultimate Warrior appearing in Hulk Hogan’s dressing room mirror. Hogan and the Warrior were feuding (what year is this, 1991?) and the Warrior got in Hogan’s mind, to say the least. Was it real? Was it all a figment of Hogan’s imagination? How come Bobby the Brain saw the Warrior but Bischoff couldn’t? Oh, WCW, I miss you.

Scary Trailer Park: Night School
Posted: October 21, 2011 by Keith Stone in Night School, Trailer Park, videos
What’s scarier than going to night school with a bunch of dumbass losers who only have a GED? Going to night school with a bunch of dumbass losers who only have a GED…and getting MURDERED! That’s the premise of 1981’s Night School, a movie so scary only 18 people went to see it in theaters. This night school doesn’t seem so bad, though. It’s one of those girls-only night schools complete with sexy coeds taking showers and a pool and a playground. It’s like the Harvard of night schools. I wish I could enroll.
Throwback: The Natural
Posted: October 19, 2011 by Keith Stone in baseball, The Natural, Throwback, videos
Love or hate baseball, I dare anyone to watch the last scene in The Natural and not get goosebumps. Not possible. It definitely gets the best Dramatic Baseball Movie Award from me. Face it, Field of Dreams is too sappy.
The World Series starts tonight and I honestly couldn’t care less. One team flew under-the-radar all season while the other wasn’t even supposed to be here. Besides Pujols and Josh Hamilton (and Nolan Ryan), are there any personalities that anyone cares about? The Cards just won the World Series and I don’t even know if the Rangers have fans. They only care about football in Dallas anyway and the Mavs had a parade a few months ago. There’s no way I’m staying up till 2AM to watch these games. Maybe if a freak like Brian Wilson was involved like last year.
Slobberknocker: Hogan Retires?
Posted: October 16, 2011 by Keith Stone in Hulk Hogan, Slobberknocker, TNA, videos, wrestling
It’s time for TNA to get a little love in the Slobberknocker. Hulk Hogan was all ready to announce his eighth retirement from wrestling but no, Heath Ledger Sting just wouldn’t let him have his way. He interrupted the Hulkster’s very, very emotional ceremony to show a little surveillance footage he picked up, and what a surprise, Hogan was only pretending to retire to earn a few more bucks. That’s what happens when you take career advice from Eric “Controversy Creates Cash” Bischoff. Either that, or you end up hosting a midget wrestling show on truTV.
Scary Trailer Park: Happy Birthday To Me
Posted: October 13, 2011 by Keith Stone in Happy Birthday To Me, Trailer Park, videos
I had never heard of this movie until right now, but I’m adding it straight to my Qwikster queue. Back in the day, every horror movie had to revolve around a holiday. Halloween, Valentine’s Day, and Christmas were already taken so what scarier day of the year than your birthday? It’s an unusual movie to announce how many people are going to die in the trailer especially when it’s only six, but the axe in the birthday cake saved it all for me. I would not want to be one of the senior class snobs and have to deal with Mr. Black Gloves. Did you see the way he threw that guy’s scarf into the gears of the motorcycle? Fucking monster.
Throwback: The First Lockout
Posted: October 12, 2011 by Keith Stone in basketball, Knicks, NBA, NBA lockout, Throwback, videos
The NBA lockout has officially caused the cancellation of the first 100 games of the upcoming season. I’m pissed and hopefully all the basketball fans out there are too. If we make enough noise, you have to believe that it will all get settled sooner rather than later. Of course, that’s assuming that the owners and players are rational, which they rarely are. Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo wrote a good article about Commissioner Stern’s role in the proceedings. It’s worth a read.
The lockout of 1998-99 also sucked but the shortened season resulted in the Knicks going on one of the wildest playoff runs ever. With last second heroics ranging from improbable to miraculous, it was the one good thing to come out of the lockout. Here’s hoping something similar happens this time.
Slobberknocker: The Biggest Dreams
Posted: October 7, 2011 by Keith Stone in Bret Hart, Slobberknocker, videos, wrestling, WWF
On a cold night in Saskatoon in 1992, Bret Hart defeated Ric Flair for his first WWF Championship. The Title was well-deserved; Bret was one of the hardest workers in the company for a number of years and had finally earned the prize. It wasn’t easy, however. In reality, he had badly dislocated his finger escaping from a figure-four leglock earlier in the match. The win propelled the Hitman into greatness and he eventually became one of the most popular wrestlers of all-time.
Scary Trailer Park: Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Posted: October 5, 2011 by Keith Stone in Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Trailer Park, videos
It’s October so welcome to the Scary Trailer Park. Although really when you think about aren’t all trailer parks pretty scary? The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a fucked up movie. Fucked up. It was filmed for like $8 which makes it look even freakier. They probably went down to some old lady’s house and shot everything there as is. It’s the raw setting that just adds a level of darkness to everything. The two scenes that really get me are when Leatherface first appears (so sudden) and the dinner (just weird). Leatherface is so fucking scary and the grandpa is beyond words. Tobe Hooper must’ve had a very disturbed childhood.

Wrestling Video of the Week: Goldust’s Shocking Development
Posted: September 30, 2011 by Keith Stone in Goldust, Slobberknocker, videos, wrestling, WWF
Considering his minimal role in the WWF, Goldust has had his share of memorable moments over the years. In this clip, the Bizarre One is attacked by Randy Orton and Batista for not giving the whereabouts of Scott Steiner. Not content with merely beating the shit out of him, the Evolution duo threw Goldy into some stray electrical equipment at ringside. The equipment was only there for that one show. Go figure. Goldust survived but somehow developed a hilarious case of Tourette’s syndrome from the encounter. Not surprisingly, this isn’t the only time there’s been a questionable plot point in the WWF.
