(CSI) Struggle For Power Special - With That Classic Paper Review Guy

[Degenerate]

Hi, and welcome to a very special edition of Struggle For Power. I'm your host, Degenerate, coming to you live from the CSI Tournament in the Columns Forums. This week is joint column week, meaning that I had to team up with someone if I wanted to make it to the next round. So, please welcome... someone from the Columns Forum. Who the hell are you?

Who am I? Who am I? I am not only the guy that is going to drag your ass to the next round, I am also the guy that is going to shove something unpleasant up it when we get there and leave your destiny unfulfilled. The name's Mazza, and don't you forget it.

Well, don't we have a little feisty one here? You sure have a lot of fight in you, but you certainly are no Shawn Michaels. You know, the coolest, most awesome man on the face of this planet. The man who no one, not even myself, can compare to. The man who...

STOP! Hold on a minute. Look, if this turns into a HBK love-fest column, I am out of here. No one cares about how hot he looked in Playgirl. No one cares that he's showed his ass off every chance he could get. Forget it, that is not how this is going down.

Look, I know how intimidated you might be because you're not Shawn Michaels. Believe me, I have questioned my manhood various times before, since I can't be as manly as he is. Not even a fraction. But just learn to accept the facts.

That’s it. I’m calling Xan.

*Mazza walks out the room, gets his phone and dials.*

Hello, Xan? It's Mazza. Listen, I know I'm supposed to do a joint column if I want to go to the next round of the CSI tournament, but I can’t work with this guy...

I don’t care about what the rules say. You need to sort something out or I am out of here...

Oh, you will get someone to take my place, will you? Look at last round's voting. Next in would be Dr Monkey... DOCTOR FUCKING MONKEY!!! Do you think he is going to take this crap? You’d have a CSI related murder on your hands.

Okay, okay... I’m calm...

A compromise, I'm listening...

Mediator, right...

Okay. Fair enough. You send a mediator in to stop the HBK references and we're cool.

5 minutes, great stuff.

Thanks Xan.

*Mazza comes back in calmly.*

Okay Degen, Xan is sending someone over as we speak to keep your HBK references in check, so I suggest you get them all out of your system before he gets here.

A mediator? Fine, whatever. In the meantime, let me tell you about the greatest moment ever in my life, It's not when I moved to the United States and started making loads of money. It's also not the first time I had sex.

You’ve had sex?

Yes, I've had sex.

You know it doesn’t count if it's with yourself.

I know.

And this was not with a woodland creature or like a dude or something?

No, with a girl.

Whatever, mate.

Anyway, the greatest moment ever in my life seems like it happened only yesterday, although almost 13 years have passed. The date? March 31, 1996. It was a warm and sunny day in Puerto Rico...

Is it not always warm in Puerto Rico?

Except when hurricanes passed by. But that's not the point here. I was merely a 15-year old lad, going to see Wrestlemania 12 on Pay-Per-View. I knew we were in for a treat in the night's scheduled Main Event, but I just didn't know how much. When the Iron Man Match got underway, I was on the edge of my seat. These two greats were matching each other hold for hold. It was a sight to behold.

*Mazza yawns and starts to daydream about SailorJerrry.*

The minutes started counting down... 30 minutes left... 20 minutes left... 10 minutes left... And no one had scored a fall yet! I had already bitten all my nails off, and my heart was racing. Oh my God, these near-falls are going to give me a heart attack! ONE MINUTE LEFT! Shawn is on the top rope, looking to end this. He leaps, but that bastard Bret grabbed him and placed him in the Sharpshooter! NOOOOOOO! As time expired, tears of anger started streaming down my cheeks. The clock reached zero, and I thought Shawn had lost his chance to become champion. I prayed for a miracle to come. What's this? Sudden death??? YES! The match started again. There's no way Shawn could do this. Just one move and Bret will... SWEET CHIN MUSIC! OH MY GOD! Shawn is still alive, but that kick barely had power behind it. HBK gets up... Prepares himself... SWEET CHIN MUSIC AGAIN! Shawn covers Bret! 1... 2...

*A knock at the door awakens Mazza from his daydream.*

FINALLY! Not a moment too soon. Hi, come on in...

Guess who's back? It's the one and only BeyondKnight, and I heard that you two needed a little help with your 'bromance'.

You have got to be shitting me! How many more times are you going to sneak back in this tournament?

I know. I thought we only allowed winners here. You know, guys like myself and what's-his-name.

It’s Mazza, for fuck's sake.

Degen, Mazza for fuck's sake, you both need to chill out. What, do you think the Beacon of Knowledge came all the way from the Knight's Report just to sabotage your effort in this round of the CSI? Would I be that petty?

Dammit, I’m calling sheepster.

*Mazza takes his phone out and starts dialing again.*

Hi sheep, it’s Mazza...

Not great, mate. Not great. It’s bad enough I get thrown together with this HBK-loving tech geek, but on top of that Xan sends this ungrateful Judas in to moderate. You saw how he left me high and dry in the last round...

Yeah, I did pull through in the end but that’s not the point. The guy was working with me and all of a sudden he was trying to knock me out of the tournament...

You called it an egg! It’s a football, you bastard!

See? I can’t trust him. He’ll try and get me out of the picture again. Could you not give me someone else? What’s SailorJerrry up to? I know she wasn’t in the tournament but...

Okay, that sounds fair, he won’t last 2 minutes. I’ll be holding you to that, sheep.

*Mazza hangs up the phone.*

BK, you can stay... For now. But if you mention the word 'Fred', you’re going straight back home to play Talisman with your interns.

What the hell is that? God, he's more of a foreigner than you, Degen! Pittsburgh won the Super Bowl, so I can say Fred as much as I want. It's my gift from God! Fred, The Fredgend Killer, purveyor of the Fred-K-O and the...

Shut up! No more Fred!

*Degenerate laughs.*

Oh, you think that's funny, mod-boy? He says Fred one more time and Skaos is on the first bus over here to take his place.

*Degenerate immediately shuts up.*

I'm glad we understand each other. Now let’s get this column underway. Here's the MP3 player, BK. Get the music ready and play it for us. We need to have a serious discussion here, Degen. I think what we should do is listen to these theme songs and then discuss the merits and impact of these songs. We can then give them a rating out of 10 in 10 different categories...

Dude, no one liked your little rating system. Remember how people just despised it when you began to do those little things you call columns? They're too difficult to understand - and I'm a freakin' genius!

Look, I signed up in these forums because I wanted serious discussions about wrestling. All the aspects that go into a match need to be looked at for a comprehensive rating. I just tried to cover all the angles. Wrestling fans are an eclectic bunch but in the end, I had to go with the views of the majority. But there's no reason it won’t work with entrance music. Think about it, there's quality of the song, the impact it had on the crowd, the way it fits...

Blah-frickety-blah-blah-blah! For the love of Cena, would you just keep it simple? I'll play some music, you discuss the song and you rate it from 1 to 10. And if I hear the word 'co-efficient' I'll going to quote-unquote "kill you both". Deal?

*Mazza sulks in the corner.*

Whatever.

Okay, I guess that's... Wait... What the hell is that? You're playing music by KC and the Sunshine Band? What the hell?

Hey, I love me some Boogie Shoes. Let’s forget this whole thing and turn this into a dance party!

*BeyondKnight starts dancing, then notices the look of horror on both the faces of Mazza and Degenerate.*

... You two have no joy in your souls. Do whatever you want, I'm gonna take a nap. Interns, play their damn songs.

What the hell are interns?

I think they're imaginary. I don't think he's going to be much help...

*Music starts playing.*

Behold, Intern Power Heretics!

*BeyondKnight falls asleep.*



Woooo! - Ric Flair

Ah, Wrestlemania 24. An awesome time to be a wrestling fan. Ric Flair came out to this music in his last match. And what an awesome match that was.

Dude, this guy is a 16-time World Champion. He has walked down the aisle to this music as a champion more times than most guys walk down the aisle, period. And all you can talk about is Wrestlemania 24?

He has? Alright, I'm sorry. Please proceed with your 'expert' review.

Well, I find the intensity of this of this song bone-chilling. It gives you a feeling that something big is about to happen and with Flair. He didn’t use this in his first WWF stint which takes away a little from its prestige.

Rating: 8



Real American - Hulk Hogan

So Degen, you want to talk about Summerslam 2005, when the show ended like so many in the late 80’s and early 90’s - with this song blaring?

No, I don't. I feel instantaneous rage when I hear this song nowadays. Politics, not wanting to lose, major doses of over-selling moves... It's not... Um...

*Degenerate sneaks a peek at a dictionary.*

... Salubrious. Yeah, it's not salubrious, you know?

What the hell is that?

Nothing... Just give your review, please.

I doubt if any music in wrestling history carries more weight that this one. This song will bring back an abundance of memories for any wrestling fan over 30.

Rule, Britannia - British Bulldog

Are you serious? British patriotism? That's an oxymoron, in my book. It's pretty sad that our opponents are Brits. Well, not too sad for me, because we'll crush those stinkin' Brits!

You do know I'm British, don’t you Degen? Haven’t you noticed we keep correcting each others spelling?

Oh... I'm sorry, dude... Sorry you were born British, that is. That must really suck. I'm pretty sure God hates you.

Look Degen, Britain is a great nation that...

*BeyondKnight wakes up.*

Nation, we must rechristen Edge as quote-unquote "Big Chinned Vicky Banger", or BCVB! Interns, make it happen!

Okay... As I was saying, Britain is a great... country, but I can understand the American point of view when you look at some British exports. The list is pretty much like a who’s who of "douche bags", as you yanks call them. David Beckham, Simon Cowell, George Michael, not to mention the odd column writer on LOP.

You know, this song reminds me of that shitty feud Shawn Michaels had with Davey Boy Smith. I mean, HBK hitting on his wife? Who the hell would hit on that troll? I just wish something like a...

*Degenerate sneaks another peek at the dictionary.*

... Maelstrom would flush that feud down the Atlantic Ocean.

Wait, you did it again! Why do you look down before reciting big words? Are you reading something?

Just mind your business, Brit boy. My point is, that feud was as lame as the forum's LipBomb - Shinobi feud. And that's saying a lot.

You're not wrong there, Degen... Wow, I can’t believe I just said that. Anyway, although this was an appropriate and patriotic tune for Davey Boy, it just was not a tune that got people going, apart from Wembley Stadium in SummerSlam '92.

Rating: 5



Hitman - Bret Hart

Okay, before you start, you have already given your take on Wrestlemania 12. While I'm sure we will both agree that real men don’t wear pink and that having a Bret Hart obsession is embarrassing to say the least, I think we should try and stay on track here.

Yeah, because pink is for sissies. Shawn, for all the flamboyant gear he's worn to the ring, has NEVER worn pink in his life. As if he needed another reason to be the most perfect male on Earth.

Ugh... BK, you do have a purpose here, you know.

Degen, for the love of Cena! Enough about Michaels! No one cares! I've heard of gay pride, but you are being ridiculous! Continue, Mazza...

Thanks BK. I hated this song. It reminds me of a bad time for the WWF - The time where there was a lull between Hogan and Michaels carrying the company. Plus, it sounds like a 4-year-old playing Guitar Hero.... Badly

Rating: 6



Break It Down - D-Generation X

*Degenerate and Mazza start doing crotch chops until Mazza realizes what he's doing.*

Err... Sorry about that, very unprofessional of me. That's a little glimpse of what this theme from the Attitude Era can do to people. I think we may be in agreement again here, Degen.

Of course you agree with me. And where did it all originate? From Shawn Michaels, of course. Without Shawn Michaels, there would've been no DX, you know. Those later versions with X-Prick and the Outlaws were damn lame.

Cena should be in DX, too!

*Degenerate and Mazza look at BeyondKnight in horror - again.*

I know, I know... Shut up, BK!

As I was saying, the original DX was the absolute best. I have a...

*Degenerate tries to sneak another peek at the dictionary, but Mazza catches him in the act and swipes it from his hands.*

AHA! A dictionary? The "genius" Degenerate using a dictionary for simple words? Wait until everyone in the forum hears about this!

... I am Puerto Rican, you know... It's a miracle I write in English as well as I do.

Oh, so NOW you're not as smart you declare yourself to be. Hey, I'm a compassionate person. I'll cut you some slack.

You just want to finish this column so we can go on to the next round.

That too. Now, here's the page your were using. Let's keep this to ourselves for now.

Okay... Ah, predilection... As I was saying before I was rudely interrupted, I have a predilection for the original DX. I wonder if in Shawn's messed-up state at the time, if a little two-on-one 'sandwich' action occurred.

Sandwich? Surely you mean a choo-choo.

A what?

*Mazza leads Degenerate’s attention to Urban Dictionary. Degenerate looks slightly disturbed.*

Dude, gross! Do your review while I try to keep my dinner down.

Sure. This is a tune which guaranteed that viewers were about to embark on a chaotic and hilarious mission. This tune is the Attitude Era and really captured the personas of Shawn and Hunter.

Rating: 9



Glass Shatters - Steve Austin

Wow, I guess this tune sort of marked the end of an era for your Boy Toy.

Wrestlemania 14... I don't want to talk about this.

Okay then, I'll carry on. The smashing glass usually meant all hell was about to break loose, and for years that sound alone would work the crowd into a frenzy. However, I have never been a big fan of what followed the glass smashing, though.

Rating: 7



I Don't Suck - Kurt Angle

Kurt Angle! Pittsburgh! Woooo!

Who rattled his cage?

I don't know. And I don't care. Kurt Angle is a pussy. Yeah, I said it, a pussy. He left as soon as he got that tie with HBK in the 30-minute Iron Man Match, because he feared for his life.

I have to agree with you again here, Degen. I'm sure HBK would've come out on top. Politicking can do that for you, but that sure was an epic feud. Getting back to the point, Angle had a really catchy tune that people reacted to with the "You Suck" chants. This music would be followed by either a funny promo or a wrestling clinic and I think it really captured the essence of Kurt. This is the theme song I miss the most on WWE television today.

Rating: 9



Break the Down Walls - Chris Jericho

Ha! That HBK wannabe. I mean, he admitted it himself in their feud in 2003 - which HBK won. Just sayin'.

We don't need to go that far back to talk about this theme song. 2008 saw Jericho make HBK relevant again, as the Superstar of the Year tasted championship gold twice and proved himself king of the ladder match.

Wait... HE made Shawn relevant? Excuse me, but while Mr. Fozzy was trying to hit it big in music and crack funny jokes for VH1, HBK was carrying Raw on his sexy shoulder.

Fair point, Degen. But the Y2J version of Chris Jericho has my favorite entrance for a champion ever. The countdown and seeing Jericho, arms outstretched with a title was pure awesomeness. However, much like Stone Cold, I feel that the whole song lost momentum after its initial impact.

Rating: 7



Voices - Randy Orton

*BeyondKnight jumps up and begins to sing.*

I hear voices in my head, they laugh at me...

Stop right there, BK. You know the rules. It’s bad enough that your Nation's chants put him off in the LOP-Bowl...

They call me Fred! They laugh at me!

*BeyondKnight continues to sing out loud.*


You got your Fred and your Fred all designed to keep you Fred
But when Fred start getting broken, you start listening to BK!
I know BK is my savior,
And that Fred is just a chump!
BK is our Beacon of Knowledge and the power to rule your Fred.
I hear people laugh-in
I see T.O. cry-in
I taste blood that’s Fred-in
I feel Fred that's Fred-in

I HEAR VOICES IN MY HEAD, THEY LAUGH AT ME, THEY CALL ME FRED! THEY LAUGH AT ME!


THAT'S ENOUGH! Degen, are you ready?

What?

I said... ARRRRRRRRE YOOOOOOUUUUUU RRRRRREEEEEAAAADDDDYYYYY?

*Mazza takes BeyondKnight down with a Spinebuster. BeyondKnight fights back and they both roll onto the tenth floor balcony. Degenerate starts tuning up the band. Mazza, distracted by Degenerate's antics, has his Pedigree attempt reversed and gets hit by an Attitude Adjuster. BeyondKnight prepares for the STF, but gets caught with a dose of Sweet Chin Music as Degenerate superkicks him off the balcony.*

BAAAAASSSTtttaaarrddsss......

Thanks, dude. Do you think we should do something about BK?

Dr. Monkey can probably solve this issue. Let me give him a call. Where were we with the reviews?

Reviews? Ah, yes... Orton. Despite a lot of people not being sold on this and others changing the words to feed their eccentricity, this song has grown on me. It captures Orton’s style and also captures his newly acquired mental dysfunction.

Rating: 8



The Game - Triple H

*Mazza drinks from a bottle of water and spits it all over Degenerate.*

WHAT THE FUCK? Now I have this acidic Brit drool all over me.

Sorry Degen. That's the Hunter effect.

Meh... I guess I can forgive you. After all, Hunter and HBK are best buddies from their DX days. Let me get a towel. Preferably one I can burn afterwards.

Okay. The fact that he has used this theme tune for so long now is testament to the job it does. For me, despite the fact that Triple H has had 2 face runs with this tune, it's the definitive heel theme music as it has an evil undertone to compliment its intensity.

Rating: 9



Rest In Peace - The Undertaker

'Chilling' is the word that springs to mind here.

Yeah, when HBK ends 'Taker's Wrestlemania streak, it'll definitely be chilling.

I think HBK has about as much chance of ending the streak as there being an all-British CSI semi-final.

You got a point there, Brit.

Well, this is one Brit who is going nowhere. Anyway, you are never going to 'wild out' to this song in a club or put it on for easy listening. While I've talked about other themes capturing the essence of their owners, none do this more so than the various incarnations of the Deadman’s music, Rollin’ notwithstanding.

Limp Bizkit was awesome. Yeah, you heard it - awesome. And they're coming back!

'Limp Bizkit' sounds like an unspeakable act you want to perform on Shawn.

Rating: 9



Sexy Boy - Shawn Michaels

Oh, oh Shawn...

*Degenerate rips off his tracksuit to reveal he's wearing HBK chaps. He starts dancing and singing along.*

I think he’s cute, I know he’s sexy...

DUDE, WHAT THE FUCK? CHILL!

He’s got the moves, that really move me...

*Degenerate seems to be in a trance and starts to strip. Mazza decides to jump him before he strips down entirely. A scuffle ensues, and soon Mazza has Degenerate in a Sharpshooter. Out of nowhere, XanMan arrives and rings a bell. A confused Mazza releases the hold. XanMan mentions that Degenerate gave up and runs out of the room, with Degenerate in pursuit.*

Well, that was odd! Anyway, I guess it's up to me to finish this column in a professional manner. The original version of Sexy Boy, with Sensational Sherri, captured the arrogance and charisma of the new upstart. Throughout his first run in the WWF, there would be no song that would suit Shawn more. It doesn't quite have the same impact today, but this timeless classic reminds us of every moment that HBK has given us over the years.

Rating: 10



That was the last track, so it looks like I have come to the end of my column. I hope that in between all the madness, we have given you a little insight into the music of wrestling and its power over us. I would thank BeyondKnight and Degenerate for their help, but I won’t because all they tried to do is ruin it. My name is Mazza, and this has been The Classic Paper Review.

*Out of nowhere, a half-naked Degenerate, still wearing chaps, jumps in from a window.*

You son-of-a-bitch, this is MY column. It's Struggle For Power, not 'Crappy Toilet Paper Review' or however you call yours.

Whatever we call it, I'm sure glad it's over. It’s felt like a real power struggle doing this column... OHHHHH, I see the relevance now. You win, Degen. Take them to the bridge.

Now that's more like it. As you all could see here, the wrestler's theme music, when well done, can embody that wrestler. But, more importantly to us as fans, it can also bring out the 'inner mark' inside of us. For Christ's sake, I'm wearing chaps here, people. Only a well-orchestrated theme song can do that. So whether you agree with Sunny when she says that you wanted her, or just want to be as gay as you want like Rico, wrestling music is a memorable experience for all wrestling fans.

'Til next week, peeps.

Oh, can I keep the chaps?

[ca$hmoney]

Lol, this was hilarious. I liked all of the song choices, especially the mention of Angle' theme, which is often underated. The wrestling action between you guys was simply priceless. Great job!

[TheMonkeyBoy]

This was very well done and bloody hilerious. I agree with most of you song choices, but i hate HHH's song, but its just opinion.

I also liked the wrestling segments.

You had me lauthing all the way through.

Well Done

[BeyondKnight]

This needed more BK.

[Skaos]

Yeah I laughed all the way through this hehe. The Rockers did really come through here...I am glad they did. Funnily enough, that playlist reminds me of my Ipod...

HBK rules and you know it! Well done lads, and good luck on the CSI.

['Plan]

Okay, before you start, you have already given your take on Wrestlemania 12. While I'm sure we will both agree that real men don’t wear pink and that having a Bret Hart obsession is embarrassing to say the least, I think we should try and stay on track here.

Yeah, because pink is for sissies.

^ LIES! FILTHY, FILTHY LIES!

Apart from my obvious complaints (Shawn Michaels? Gay!) this was pretty entertaining stuff my friends. Kudos. Is it good enough to get you through? Unlike yourselves I won't trash talk. In fact, I'll wish you both luck! Oh, and how does it feel Degen? Eh? Now you just get over it! Psht. Bret Hart owns.

On a more professionally critical note there was a glaring spelling mistake towards the end; `however` was used when it should have been `whatever`. I was also shocked The Rock's music didn't get on there in honesty. That was a pretty funky theme tune. Good luck guys! And damn HBK!

[cicero]

me likey very muchy. ok maybe not that muchy. a problem with these conversation pieces is that they tend to have little in the way of substance. this isn't your fault. just the nature of column. me do still likey though.

[BBBD]

great work, I did enjoy it.

flowed well, though the less stripping down to chaps in the future the better.

[T.O.]

I would be remiss if I didn't say that I presently have 43 wrestling themes on my iPod Touch. Dare I post them?

[Ry P]

What it do pals from alternative gals?

(yeah I made that up, be jealous)

You guys definitely had some chemistry here, casting BK as "the moderator" was a very creative way to incorporate a third wheel. Loved the parts where you called Xan and Sheep, very nice comedic conversation that makes me feel like you two could work well together again in an odd-couple-like fashion.

As far as how you worked with your topic, however, I did feel like this was a bit skimpy on the content. You spent more words on the intro than the meat of the column, and while it was a classic intro, I just didn't feel like you said anything about theme music that really stuck to the ribs. This was a great topic and I would have liked to see it explored in more thought and detail.

But, you obviously went the route of a comedy piece, so perhaps my criticism has no merit here. Good job fellas, you've come a long way - best of luck!

[JoeyShinobi]

This sucked balls. Giant, sweaty, hairy donkey balls. Never in my life have I seen such a disjointed, poorly constructed, self-indulgent piece of crap in the forums. You should both be ashamed.

Okay, perhaps I'm exaggerating slightly. I did find this funny, and BK slotted right in. I'm with Ry P (hopefully we can be friends now) in that this was a bit patchy when it came to addressing the actual topic, but it was a damn good read.

May the best team win.

[The Maz]

Degen, we didn't discuss who would deal with the feedback so I will go but feel free to add yours too.

Ca$h - Glad we achieved our goal. Angle's music was definately a highlight. I loved it when they used to restart the beginning multiple times.

MonkeyBoy - Please don't red my columns again until you appreciate good music... only joking. Glad you enjoyed man.

BK - GO AWAY!!!

Skaos - Thanks for the nice comments but as for HBK ruling, we'll see...

Plan - However dude!

cicero - Glad you enjoyed it. We went down the convo road as it seemed a nice fit to the background of the main topic. Like yourself, I am not generally a fan of convo pieces though so we worked extra hard to try and ace it.

Triple B and D - I agree with the stripping *Mazza gives Degenerate the evil eye*

T.O. - Do it, not here though.

Ry P - Glad you enjoyed the column. The thing with our criteria was it was not overly specific on where we had to go, but maybe that was me. I will discuss the song choice with Criv's feedback a little wider.


Mr Shinobi - Thanks Joey and good luck to you and Plan. Pretty much what I said to Ry about the topic. I just hope it does not come off as skirting the topic but it was our way of avoiding a standard list column.

Criv - First things first, I can't believe you came back with the same name after the reset. Second, vote if you read all the columns, whether for us or not, this is what makes the competition (but obviously for us is better). Okay, of the song choices mentioned 3 were on our original line-up (not Punks). We had to trim due to word limits and a decent fit in the column. Edge's tune is actually my ringtone. Funny the ones you mentioned when classics like Warrior, Macho Man, McMahon and the Rock didn't make the cut though. I have to say though, a song I can listen to anywhere is not really what I look for with a tune, it is one that makes for a memorable entrance. Oh and my faves off all times are Slick's "Jive Soul Bro" and The Rougeaus "All American Boys"

[Box Car Rocco]

Wheres the love for Christians Just close your eyes theme and Edge's metalingus. They are both good songs in general and have a solid enough opening to let you know whats coming. Same with Jomo's and Cm punks.

When I listen to wrestling theme music I don't think "does this fit with there gimmick" but I think "is this a good song that i'd listen to outside of wrestling". Thats why I like songs such as Metalingus, Just close your eyes, Ain't no make believe, I'm coming (even though i'm not a fan of rap), This fire burns and I am I am.

Funny column though, great stuff throughout. I'll probably vote for you guy's if I do vote.

Who cares??? We were mentioned!!

Seriously guys, Like as it was stated above you two have fantastic chemistry. It was a laugh from start to finish. Out of all the CSI tag team columns this one stands out by far. That being said, that may also be your downfall as again there was not enough actual content.

Nevertheless I enjoyed it and I think all of those LOP'ers will be talking about it for some time.
I mean damn. We got the whole Fred version of Voices.

[TheAmazingOne]

In reality, your column was what could be classed as awful, with fairly little structure, poor content and overall abandonment of anything sensible. However, I'm not sure if I've ever laughed so much in my entire life. Every moment was completely hilarious, I'd highlight the good bits but to be honest it would seem a bit pointless to just copy and paste the entire thing. Especially with Mazza playing the straight man (pun definitely intended) to the antics of BK and Degen, I will also never be able to enjoy a Limp Bizkit song in quite the same way again. You may just have placed a yardstick for anyone who thinks they're funny to try and reach, the only term I can really find to describe this was 'Awfully Sublime'.

TAO

[SailorJerrry]

Bloody brilliant. And who better to get in as third wheel on a column than the man that has invented his own WWE theme tune.

Although the actual section on the theme tunes themselves was short, it brought back some great memories and was fun to boot.

Great job.

- oh and thanks for the name drop

[Roger Murtaugh]

I got to side with Ry P on this one, while the interactions were good and I thought a great deal of it was funny it felt like the flow was thrown off at times during the interactions. It basically seemed like the theme music was there because it had to be there and not because it was part of the natural flow of the column. Though to be fair if you had ever read my contributions as part of the BC Does Monkey series you'd call me a hypocrite.

Still a very solid effort
