    They're all fricking amazing but the detail on this Santa is mindblowing. It's like I can feel the fluffy hat and the big beard. Amazing work as always :eek:

     

    Apologies for the radio silence the last month, unfortunately I was struck down with Covid as so many people have been and that developed into pneumonia, meaning I spent 3 weeks very unwell and the day before my birthday in hospital, which was fun :-)

    Well belated happy birthday, smw. Glad to see things are better. Hoping there won't be any lingering/longterm effects.

    I have recently gotten into reaction videos of people hearing different music for the first time on YouTube. I am not sure why I am interested in it, because more often than not the reactor offers no real insight but I do enjoy those videos.

     

    One channel had these two college-aged guys talking about how they had never heard of the Rolling Stones. That completely flummoxed me, how could they have not heard of the Rolling Stones?

     

    Yes, the Stones were last relevant in the 1970s but their music is still played to this very day in various forms of media. It is like when a buddy of mine saw a clip of the Beatles and he said, "Dude is that guy right there the old dude in that Kayne West/Rihanna song?" I seriously thought of strangling my friend right there and then. The jury would have probably found me not guilty due to it being a justifiable homicide.

     

    After all, how does someone who is in their late 30's not know who Paul McCartney is? And the only way my buddy knew him was through the worst song Paul has ever been on. That song was trash and nobody could convince me otherwise.

     

    My point I guess is, am I the person who is not normal? After all the Stones and the Beatles were big years before I was born, yet I knew who they were. Growing up I knew who Buddy Holly, Sammy Davis Jr., Frank Sinatra, Patsy Cline were. Hell, I even knew who Louis Armstrong was and he was big way before I was born.

     

    Is it that younger generations are not exposed to older music or am I just an exception to the rule?

     

     

    Have you watched Spider-Man : Far From Home? There's a scene there that kinda speaks to what you're talking about. I'm like half(?) a generation younger than you and while I'm familiar with the names of the classics, I don't always necessarily put two and two together. :o So MAYBE younger generations are exposed to older music, but not necessarily know who sang it?

    Real life REALLY sucks right now (see what I did there? lol) so i fully understand not wanting to write. But then again, if you do ever need an escape, this might be the perfect avenue. Just my two cents. :)

     

    For the NEW Championship:

    Conner Threepwood vs. Raphael ©

    This HAS to be the draw, right?

     

    The LA Stars vs. Manny Alvarez & Reggie Bishop

    You did say they won't be jobbers, so let's push em TO THE MOON! Err... to the stars?

     

     

    Mullet Mike, Nate DeMarcus, BP SWOLL vs. The Jet Set

    Maybe this is the draw? But I dunno, I think we'll see some cracks forming from inside TJS

     

     

    Devil Dog vs. SJW

    Don't wanna do it but he keeps letting me down every month :(

     

     

    Paulie Pelton & Jerry Pepper vs. No Remorse

    Would agree with Zergon and say tag name > no tag name, but I have a feeling you just don't have a good name for them yet. How about PP&J? Get it? Like PB & J? I'll see myself out :rolleyes:

     

     

    Onslaught vs. Sasquatch McGraw

    If our hero SJW has to suffer the indignity of a loss, it's only right that his ally Onslaught do so as well.

    Finally found time to sit and read the show:

     

     

    1. Mullet Manny and Mullet Mike in a mullet-off? More like it's a tag team in the making! Mullet Men assemble!

     

     

    2. Yes, the LA Stars look cool. Sucks that they're jobbers (for now).

     

     

    3. About making a Q-Anon character-- you're right. Don't need to give them any more pub than they're already getting.

     

     

    4. I can see Connor getting another shot then winning via DQ. Maybe Masked Mauler joins up with the Golden Hair God and you hit two birds with one stone by giving him (sort of) an angle.

     

     

    5.

    Bump it all you want. I mean I try not to bump it up, but I cannot control what other people do.:D

     

    Ride Like the Wind is a pretty good song. I am not sure if that would be considered Yacht Rock or not. His Sailing song is the very definition of Yacht Rock though.

     

    What did you think of it the song?:D

     

    What would be funny is if all of a sudden all of the different songs I have mentioned here start playing where you are. If Johnny Mercer's Accentuate the Positive (Though the chances of you hearing a song on the radio that was written during WWII would probably be very slim.), ELO's Mr. Blue Sky, or some Skid Row starts playing on the radio one day, you'll have me to thank.:eek:

    The song was okay, but sounded like generic 80's music IIRC. I really hope I don't hear any of those songs in the future (although the radio station I do listen to has started to play older songs). They were playing late 90's and early 00's songs the other day and I was like, "damn, I'm (we're) getting old." But reading your songs now... well, you're older LOL :p

    Sadly he has an exclusive contract with TCW right now. Plus, I don't think I could afford Frederique even if he was free to sign.

     

    Well, there aren't really two. I named Taylor Kidd it in a test game and he was just god awful. His stats killed any segment he was in. The reason why I chose Zippy to be SJW was that Zippy was one of the best talking young free agents in the game.

     

     

     

    Please tell me you got the Christopher Cross reference, that would be hilarious if you got that and not the Crisscross reference.

     

    I did screw up the spelling of their name though it was Kris Kross (I should probably go back and correct it, but I have to own my mistake. I thought it was the incorrect spelling but I was too lazy to look it up). Oddly enough the site I went on said it was Crisscross. So that might be why you did not get the reference. :o

     

    Kris Kross were two teenage rappers who had a hit in America in the early 1990's. The song was called "Jump" and they wore their clothes backward. From what it said in Wikipedia they had a second hit called Warm It Up. I don't remember that song personally. Jump was big when I was a kid because the two kids in the group were my age and so that meant that me and my friends thought it was so cool that people our age could have a hit song.

     

    Christopher Cross was a Yacht Rock singer from the late 1970's and the early 1980's. He had a slew of hits during that time period but soon his success sort just ended. I have heard it was because he was not the most visually appealing guy (Just a normal looking dude) and at that point MTV was becoming the big thing and with the industry shifting towards a visual medium, a normal looking guy like Chris was just not appealing to look at when you could look at the guys from say Duran Duran.

     

    Well now I have gifted you the useless knowledge of Kris Kross and Christopher Cross. Do with that knowledge what you will...

     

    I mean it is totally useless but you know, it might be good for something.:p

    I'm.... happy(?) to say that I don't know who either Kriss Kross AND Christopher Cross were LOL I thought they were the same person :p

     

     

    I know of Karrion Kross, does that count? LOL

     

     

    Well I do enjoy the SJW gimmick and you're toeing the line perfectly that we KNOW he's a heel and stuff... looking forward to seeing your take on a Q-Anon believer LOL

     

     

    For the NEW Championship:

     

    Conner Threepwood vs. Raphael ©

    French Lick's Finest gets the win via DQ or count-out but Raphael keeps the title, I think

     

    Mullet Mike vs. Tavon Blake Jr.

     

    Astro vs. The Masked Mauler VII

     

    BP SWOLL vs. Manny Alvarez

     

    Nate DeMarcus vs. Seth James Wilson

    AAAAGH I really want to pick SJW but dammit there's a C-O-N-spiracy against him

     

     

    Jerry Pepper & Paulie Pelton vs. Brutality Incorporated

    Interesting that there's another SJW out there... maybe this SJW finds himself an ally soon? (Would love for you to throw in a swerve of sorts and make it be Frederique Garcia lol)

     

     

    Dammit I was the only one who didn't get a perfect score! Damn you, Onslaught! *shakes fists*

     

     

    I liked Jet Set hanging out on a yacht in October lol but the Crisscross reference(?) went over my head (thankfully?).

     

     

    Hopefully the snow storm wasn't as bad as expected. Stay safe!

    Onslaught vs. The Masked Mauler VII

    Via DQ when SJW snaps? *TRIGGER WARNING*

     

     

    Nate DeMarcus vs. Seth James Wilson

    Via count-out when Onslaught wrecks SJW's safe space? *T-t-t-TRIGGER WARNING AGAIN*

     

     

    Astro, Paulie Pelton, Jerry Pepper vs. The Jet Set

    TBJ is really being a huge buzzkill but Sgt. Pepper's friends are... not ideal

     

     

    Langston “Lion Heart” Franklin vs. "The Man's Man" Cip Conduit

    Cip got screen time so he should get the win lol

     

     

    Conner Threepwood vs. Sasquatch McGraw

    The vendetta continues!

     

     

    For the NEW Championship:

     

    Mullet Mike vs. Raphael ©

    Mike can take his Mullet and shove it up his butt 'cause there's no way he's winning against Canada's favorite son.

     

    EDIT because this is just too important not to ask: Is SJW's finisher called the Trigger Warning? It should be IMO. But then again he doesn't really hit it so it doesn't really matter, does it? :D

    I wanted to make the character of Onslaught be more than just the gay wrestler and more of a wrestler who happens to be gay. I am not gay, but if I was I would not want to be defined as just the gay dude.

     

    That is why I wanted him to not have that one part of his life be the one thing to define him. I mean sure it is an important part of his life but it is one of many important parts of his life.

     

     

    I totally agree with this sentiment :)

     

     

    BP SWOLL vs. SJW

    Probably wrong since you said he hasn't improved much but what the heck lol

     

    Paulie Pelton & Astro vs. No Remorse

     

    Onslaught & Jerry Pepper vs. The Jet

     

    Nate DeMarcus vs. Tavon Blake Jr.

     

    Devil Dog vs. Masked Mauler VII

     

    Conner Threepwood vs. Deathwish

     

    For the NEW Championship:

    Jerry Martin vs. Raphael ©

    Sorry for being MIA but I'm all caught up now.

     

     

    1. "Hick From French Lick"? Nice Larry Legend reference lol

     

    2. Gotta echo the love for Jet Set and SJW. Though, I feel like you're trying too hard not to offend people with SJW, and it's diluting him a little.

     

    3. A bit predictable with Raphael winning the title. But I understand, it's a popularity thing. He's a good heel and at least he's got a bunch of storylines ready. I think we'll see Jerry Martin (aka Tommy Dreamer?) as his first challenger.

    4. I hope you've got more stories written!

     

    5. I think the Onslaught name doesn't fit the character, but then again, his character isn't "gay Latino," so what do I know. Maybe do something where SJW tries to force a "socially acceptable" name for him?

     

     

    I had a few other thoughts but forgot to write them down. :o
