The deadly hold Adam invented, the "Southern Cross Deathlock" has yet to be broken, reversed, or escaped from. The name of the hold is an homage to Adam's New Zealand roots.
There has been some unbelievable buzz over the upcoming Darren Aronofsky film “The Wrestler.” It’s been on several of the major festivals and is gearing up for it’s major theatrical release.
Many people are calling the film the “ressurection” of Mickey Rourke’s career, as he plays the role of Randy “The Ram” Robertson, an old, broken down wrestler from the 80’s looking for one last gasp at the glory.
Rourke apparently threw himself headfirst (literally) into the role, right down to doing as much of the wrestling scenes as possible. The film also stars Marisa Tomei, Evan Rachel Wood, and a supporting cast of real-life wrestlers (including the one and only Necro Butcher).
Here’s a look at the trailer, which was just releashed by Fox Searchlight Pictures.
I am somewhat fascinated - perhaps to unhealthy degrees - with 1990’s pop culture.
There was this little bubble there at the beginning which was really unique as the eighties made their last stand and slowly morphed into something completely different, yet just as brightly coloured.
Check out this clip from an early incarnation of the Howard Stern Show (circa 1991-ish) with Stevie Starr, the Regurgitator. You’ll be thrilled as he ingests everything from butane to sharks, all for your entertainment.
Now, longtime fans may already know that Mr. Goulet had a lengthy stint with the World Wrestling Federation (now WWE) as a road agent. Even older fans may remember him as a former WWWF tag team champion, of in the later stages of his in-ring career during the earliest days of the WWF’s nation expansion.
Whether you know of Goulet or not, this webcast is extremely informative, as he takes you for a rare peek behind the scenes at what went into the day-to-day running of the WWF’s live events, whether in a high school gym, or a major arena like Madison Square Garden.
It’s well worth checking out, and hats off to KFC for offering it for free on their website. You may already know of some of their great products, which take the idea of the traditional “shoot interview” about 10 steps beyond. Past titles have included the popular “Guest Booker” series, (where the subject tackles the task of rebooking a period of wrestling’s past), You Shoot (where fans send in their questions for the guest), and of course the antics of The Iron Shiek are well represented.
