Seriously.  That was my first thought. Fat guy wearing a bull's head vs dude in goofy contacts and an S&M arm band.  No contest.

What if Mike Sharpe did it, he had an arm thingy already. Would you feel the same way? 

Canada’s Greatest Athlete. Strong like bull.

@MORELOCK  Someone should edit their wiki pages. 

"Rage Against the Machine has been described as rap metal, rap rock, funk metal, alternative metal, and nu metal." 

"System of a Down's music has variously been termed alternative metal, nu metal, hard rock, progressive metal, thrash metal, art rock and avant-garde metal"

Guys, in the interest of finding an impartial arbiter to settle this, I asked Rob Zombie if both bands were in the same genre, and he repeatedly and emphatically  said “Yeahhhh”, so that’s that.

I think he actually said, "YEAHHHH I AM THE ASTRO CREEP".

I would pay good money to see New Jack slice Kid Rock up.

Well, now I'm bummed that we'll never get this.

Dude, that's what Fire Pro World is for.  I've been slicing and dicing fools like Kid Rock ever since the game came out.  If you get the mods where it's extra bloody it makes it that much better.

Iron Mike Sharpe with an arm sling, mooing like a cow, stamping his feet, and charging his opponent would have been awesome. My main issues with Minotaur are obviously his ring work and the lack of commitment to the gimmick. If you're called the Minotaur, I want something closer to what Mantaur ended up being. Nothing about the Minotaur said Greek mythology. Maybe, I take my Greek pride too seriously being 75% Greek. The other quarter is Italian.

...and I know Orthodox Easter isn't until Sunday, but this is for my Greek brother from another mother, NikoBaltimore:

Oh please educate me professor. And yes I am very familiar with people trying to create a million unneeded sub genres for music. 

A co-worker once tried to tell me that "folk punk" was a genre.  Millennials are the fucking worst.

As a metalhead, I can tell you, we're way past the point of too many subgenres.

Maybe we can bring it together with a productive discussion of where Elias fits in the folk punk tradition, with his use of acoustic instrumentation, squatting in-ring in order to perform unauthorized sets, belief in direct action to affect change (hitting people with his guitar), and general call to collective action (Walk with...), while flaunting the typical aesthetic of a poor and dirty traveler, instead incorporating aspects more commonly associated with glam or classic rock, like scarves, and in so doing rejecting the rigid hypermasculine sensitivity that has pervaded so much of the DIY punk scene.

I really haven't looked forward to WM since WM30.

same here Eddie,  I look forward to the more than mania events and they are usually really good. Same with ROH, NXT, CZW  etc.  The indy's bring it this week and for that I am happy. Wrestlemania has been pretty predictable the last few years and this year looks no different.  For every great AJ-Nakamura  you have a shitty Lesnar-Reigns      5-6 hrs is going to be a chore this yr as it was last.

Since I went, Wrestlemania Play button was awesome.

Indy shows and concerts in small venues have sort of turned me off from big arena events. In a few weeks, I'm going to nxt at the Sands Bethlehem Casino arena. It maybe holds 1,000-2,000 people. I went when nxt ran there last year. I've also gone both times they've run Asbury Park.

I'm leaning toward doing the indy shows and skipping WM next year when its back in New Jersey.

So, can I run a gimmick by you guys? I'm 35, but i'm 6'3, 240, and ive been training for the last couple months. I'll post video as it becomes available, but the concept is solid, as far as i can tell. There's an Eagles b-side from the LONG RUN record called "The Disco Strangler." It's about young women who succumb to the "lifestyle" of the time, and I believe it's a metaphor for cocaine and it's effects on users. I'm portraying the son of a late-70's serial killer called "The Disco Strangler," who's inherited his father's proclivities but has found a more productive outlet. I can cry on command, so my pre-match promo is basically "why are y'all making me do this? I don't want to hurt anyone." And then I tap someone out in a couple minutes, hence the "Strangler" part of the "Disco Strangler." After the match, I turn back into the hapless son of evil...
