W.W.W. featuring The Dudleyz and Sting/Randy Savage

On Wednesdays, we here at LOL, Wresslin' like to really pull out the stops and offer up a double shot of righteously killer content. Why Wednesday? Well, we could impress you with market research, work habit studies, and human psychology tendencies to show you there's a scientific reason the middle of the week is the best time to bring your A-game. However, truth be told, we don't have any of that stuff and settled on Wednesday because that was the only day that didn't have any content scheduled.

So, here you have "Watch Wresslin' Wednesdays." Please feel free to suggest a better title, because we are woefully uncreative when it comes to naming stuff.

Better at naming stuff than us

The idea of W.W.W. is we each send the other a video that is related to wrestling (a match, promo, interview, guest starring spot, etc.). The only restriction is that it cannot be user-created, so this masterpiece ain't going to fly here, pal. Neither of us know what kind of video we're going to get that day.

After viewing, we each write a response. This could be anything we choose: a straight commentary, a philosophical enlightenment, or classless ridicule. Just as we don't know what kind of video the other will select, neither do we know what the other will write or how they will write it. What you end up with is a mash-up of styles, which in our book equates to two-blogs-in-one, and we can take the rest of the day off.


Adam's video to Matt - Beulah getting her neck broken by the Dudley Boyz



Matt's response...

WHAT. THE. FUCK.

Seriously. I don't say that often on this space, but it's warranted here. This video goes from bad acting to sick spot to acid trip to The Blair Witch Project.

With less whining, but more snot.

We'll just move past the first of the video, because we all know that violence against women pretty much makes for great television. That's a given. Let's start then with the backstage segment with Joey Styles. I've never felt the need to try out hard drugs, and I'm glad I didn't; ECW took care of all of that for me. Everything about this part is just strange.


I swear that music is from a horror radio program from 1932.

Then we go even further backstage to what seems to be a behind-the-scenes video of the Dudleys cutting a promo about the whole "breaking a woman's neck" thing. At least, I think it's behind-the-scenes. It's sort of hard to tell with ECW.

As this promo is going on, the lights are cut out - we all just assume that the ECW folks didn't tell the janitorial staff they were staying late that night. No harm. We get the lights back on and we're rolling again.

Then they cut off again, and one little flame cuts through the darkness...

TENSE!!

This is where the whole thing turns into a cacophony of screaming, shaking cameras, and some poor sap who had his leg shut in a locker or something. We're supposed to believe that the Sandman and Tommy Dreamer are responsible for all this mayhem. Sandman maybe, but Dreamer? We have a hard time believing that he can manage to not put his pants on backwards in the morning.

One thing that will be lost on you if you watch this video on the site is the description of the video by the person who posted it. This is one of those jackwads who try to drive people to their videos by putting every wrestling-related name possible in the description. There's so many names in there, I can't even fit it all into one screen shot...

Yes, the Miz is there. I think he's missed the point.

Matt's video to Adam- Wrestling Greatest Momments (sic)- Sting challenges Savage



Adam's response...

I don't understand this. Not one bit. How can there ever be a great Momment in wrestling that does not involve Buff Bagwell's mom, Judy? In addition to being a former WCW Tag Team Champion (an honor she shares with Chuck Palumbo and Kronik), she also was suspended from a forklift while feuding with Kanyon.

Side note on Kanyon: Remember this amazing video of Raven and Kanyon? Remember how funny it was when Kanyon pronounced Versace phonetically, as in "Ver-SAY-ss"? Turns out that joke was stolen from the movie Showgirls. I learned this last night when it was on HBO and I couldn't sleep.

Judy also holds the distinction of being a mom 24/7 for her little boy Buff. One urban legend of wrestling comes from Jim Ross's time as head of talent at WCW. Buff had just started up with the American Males and was feeling a little under the weather. He was going to have to miss the house shows that weekend. So how does Buff choose to inform good ole' JR? By having his mom call in sick for him! Ross eventually confirmed this.

Mother still loves him

Or what about Shelton Benjamin's momma? Shelton had a bit of a losing streak back in 2005, so she came in and motivated him into the Gold Standard he is today. All while being overweight and wearing Moo-Moos and in no way setting race relations back!

And we all know what Wrestlemania I headliner, Mr. T, thinks about his mother.

If there's anything you should take away from this video of Sting and Randy Savage it should be this; think about your mom. She loves you. So give her call, but only after you turn your cell phone off.
