Cobra Commander Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Brian the Hollywood Blonde would be an excellent name for Pillman Jr if he was working a dingy Indy that didn’t know who his dad was. Would it be in bad taste for Pillman Jr to imply that he talks to his dead father’s ghost for career advice or would it be insane enough to fit all the other crazy things about his family?

Cobra Commander Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 At the risk of praising a Scott Keith entity, the BlogOfDoom design has changed and I actually like it a lot more than the old design. I mean it’s possible that the design is still a bit of a hog on desktop Chrome but the change looks good so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Yep, the redesign looks good on Chrome too. And yeah, BlogOfDoom gives you "Scott posting a rant a day on various things, and also Dynamite/Collision". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At New Year's, they run the Wrestival and do 9 shows in 3 days! I'm up in Maine so I don't hear too much about events down that way. This was pure algorithm luck, but that's awesome to hear!

Cobra Commander Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 IIRC, ZZ Top had enough wrestling fans in the group that they liked having their stuff pop up in wrestling even without permission Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, it's probably not really caring enough as much once it's becomes readily apparent, right. Keep in mind, as it has been brought up recently a few times around here, the use of theme music comes about either with the Freebirds or right around the time of the Freebirds. It kinda snowballs from there. It became a crutch and vogue in certain territories to litter one hour shows with copyrighted pop & RnB music. That's really only a handful of years, honestly. Also, wrestling still being fractured kinda buries how serious and egregious it was. Had those records labels/publishing companies or film/TV studios became hip to that, oh yeah, they would have sued the absolute shit out of them if kept on long enough. Think about how litigious all those parties became (and still are) once internet piracy grew to a certain level. You cannot evade something off, "well, they probably don't care cause it's niche". No matter which side you fall on when it comes to piracy or copyright use, greed knows no bounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 anyways, a bunch of Memphis was technically never in copyright for years so if they were using other people's stuff then.. well.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Apparently, the dude who was The Pink Panther was also King Cobra (guessing after the malt liquor) and THE KNIGHT RIDER. AEW really needs to have a jobber named The Knight Rider for their show in Memphis so Dave Brown can seriously introduce him as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Quote Frank Starr Also known as Mentai Kid, Cheyenne Kid, Patches, Knight Rider, Pink Panther, Canadian Patriot, Medico II, Mr. Wrestling 37, Emerald Dragon, Canadian Cannonball, King Cobra, El Coyote, Skeletar, El Hijo del Franco that is certainly a lot of names to have on one Cagematch profile Also... there's been multiple King Cobra apparently.

Elsalvajeloco Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Given the use of the luchador/Hispanic names (I'm assuming he isn't part of the more famous Medicos) and being Canadian, I am guessing he was the proto El Generico. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Record company people probably wouldn’t have wanted to admit it, but I bet a hot babyface using your bands music sold some records. I mean, how many more records did Survivor sell because Hogsn used Eye of the Tiger? Or ELO and the R&R Express? Etc 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Etc That was basically the attitude about hip-hop and sampling for a long time as well, although most groups asked permission and occasionally included a song-writing credit. Then suddenly you had some one-hit wonders suing for huge amounts of money for unauthorized samples when an artist got huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always cracks me up that they used Victory, a guy with an extremely recognizable body shape, to be the guy under multiple gimmicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clintthecrippler Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 The most recent episode of 1986 UWF TV that I watched had a disclaimer during the show close that noted "all music heard during this program has been licensed through ASCAP" so someone got hip to how much popular music was being used by wrestling at some point. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
