Sidehighwall match!

Speaking of wrestling again....Here is the Side Highwall match.  Now remember the original Sidehighwall match was just a cardboard box I put next to the ring and had my wrestlers fight on top of it etc. when I was a kid.  Ah...a kid's imagination...

Yeah...It is just a wooden box with metal wiring all over it...

Now it looks much better!  We spray painted it black.  Now it looks a little more formidable!

Here it is in the Monster Cafe with the weirdo blue lighting!  Whoa!  Fighting on top...

Here is Ric Flair vs. Austin!  Flair is ramming Austin's head into the side of it...

This was my tribute to my childhood self pretending that my cardboard box that I had my wrestlers in was this thing.  What a dangerous match it was!  I had the bloodiest matches with Jakks Legion of Doom and whatever other helpless tag team.  I think it looks good.  NOT practical AT ALL for an arena mind you as it wipes out a fourth of your audience.  But hey....I had a blast playing with just a boring cardboard box back in the day....Now we get groovy and bloody with this thing.  Plus it acts as a storage as I can fill it up with crap!

This was the only out of the box, parden the pun, playset for me....The next to come will be more realistic in regards to the WWF until I finish all of them.  And wouldn't ya know it....My artist came by with a surprise!  The Hogpen match is already done!  Whoa!  We are whipping up these projects all fast and furious like...He is coming tomorrow hopefully to take pics of it.

Controversial Thursday- People that need their asses kicked.

1. People that waste EVERYONE'S time by making fake trailers for Youtube.  Yes, they are desperate for an ass kicking.  I live in Mexico where we do not get Entertainment tonight that features the latest new trailer etc.  So I have to rely on Youtube.  So I gotta wade through this shit to find the real trailer to the Wolverine part 2 movie.  I could really kick you fat kids asses!  Then they have the egocentric need to put OFFICIAL trailer....Ugghhhh....

2. Here is another one us toy collectors do but not me...And maybe it doesn't deserve an asskicking but I just DO NOT get it.  People...It's a frickin toy.  Open it.  Play with it.  But do not for the holy hell of God hang it up on your wall in it's package.  It is NOT art.  Art is something you go buy at a museum or something.  THIS is a toy.  If you are holding onto it as an investment then you are an idiot.  Those days are long gone.  Invest in stocks or something.  Something with REAL returns...Not doubling your $5 one day.  Ugghhh...

3. Glass display cases for toys in one's house!  Ugghhh...Who are you showing it to?  Your small family or the cleaning lady?  I have a bar where thousands of people come so I see the value in having my monster collection being viewed by the public under a glass case.  It is part of the cafe.  But to do that in one's house where NO ONE is going to see it...Well it is kinda stupid...Again...NOT ART...

4. Underage drinking.  I am cool with it....Go to the liquor store and convince an older person to buy it for you and go BACK home or to a friend's house and have a blast.  However do NOT go to a frickin restaurant and try to order a drink when you are underage!  You look like an ass!  I just wish I could smack the people doing that.  You put the entire restaurant in danger of losing it's liquor license all because you are trying to impress your idiot friends and drink...Grow up!  Hell drink some Robotussin.  That worked great in high school for me.

5. Stupid Japanese robot creations that describe their products inaccurately.  Now this looks like a big stinking robot with GUNS...Ain't no way he is a WHISPER GHOST.  I don't care if he glows in the dark.  Caspar is a ghost and does NOT glow in the dark so that is not a requirement of ghosts.  And I am sure with his robotic metal moving around there is nothing about him whispering either.  So cut it out Japan!

6. And lastly....This asshat.  So I decided to start getting some Mattel WWE figures.  I look them up on Ebay.  This asshole has opened his new basic series 28 figures that JUST came out and is selling them for MORE than they cost him....Without the box.  Does he just collect the boxes to masturbate to or what?  He is an asshole.  Plain and simple.  In fact his auctions LITTER Ebay...So I clicked on Jakks to see what I could find.  Yup...Him again.  Charging $50 frickin dollars for a Jakks King Kong Bundy figure.  What an asshole. Like I said.  Get invested in stocks.  Not figures...People like this guy is a surefire reason to give up collecting.  

Wednesday Wishlist MOVIE DVD L edition...

It is Wednesday Wishlist day....This is the L edition of movies I am dying to get.  So let's get into it.

1. Let it ride-  I love this movie very much.  The offbeat characters etc.  It is a tour de force and I have no idea what that means.  But man...It is EXPENSIVE on amazon!  They really need to re release it.  This was my goto movie when I would play commodities.

2. Like Father like son-  This is when Kirk Cameron was cool and not a religious wacko that he is today.  Great film. 

3. Little Big Man- I cannot state how much I love this movie.  When I was a little kid I used to run around imitating Dustin Hoffman when he is old man Crabbe.

4. Little Darlings-  Saw this one on HBO as a tike.  Loved it.

5. Lock up-I know alot of people do not like this movie...I love it though.

6. Logan's Run- I saw it on Cinemax back in the day.  A good film for me.  It probably does not hold up over time but hey...

7. Longtime Companion- My friend Stephen shared with me this movie about the beginning of the AIDS crisis.  Wish I could find my old friend.

8. Lost in Yonkers-  This is a great film.  Full of fun and laughs and serious drama as well.  I highly recommend it.

9. Love at first bite- How I do not have this is beyond me.  It must be my curse.

10. Lucas- Back when Corey Haim was cool.

LJN Rowdy Roddy Piper...

Growing up I was not a Piper fan.  I started watching in 1987 when the Piper Hogan feud was VERY over.  My exposure to him was a retirement match against Adrian Adonis.  I recognize he was one of the best talkers and thanks to Youtube I have found some classic moments.  But let's get one thing clear....He was not a very good wrestler.  Perhaps a brawler...But wrestling was not one of his strengths.  Whenever I get a classic figure it is usually missing something.  When I started this blog I fixed Ms.Elizabeth's skirt.  I featured it before.  Now was the time for Piper.  Mine didn't come with his kilt.  So I had to make one.  I showed this pic to the sewing lady...

That is the original kilt that the figure came with.  So my gal made this....

So it is not totally accurate but it IS a good one I think.  She did a little twirly in it.  So now at last my LJN wrestling collection has all it's clothes now.  It is kind of hard to see in the green light etc. but I was showing off the Snake pit again.

RAW IS WAR ENTRANCE CIRCA 1997!

Oh yeah....Is this not cool or what?  Now I know it is not as impressive as the Scaffold, Buried Alive, or the Snake pit but for me it is the most sentimental of the things I have made so far with regards to wrestling.  So without furthur adieu....Here it is...

Isn't it impressive?  Man does just looking at it brings me back to the 1997 version of RAW where almost anything could happen.  I love those years!  Bret Hart turned heel etc.  He is my favorite wrestler of all time. My artist even got the rough look of it!  The knicks and cuts of it.  Wow...

 Here comes Austin the WWF champion out to a huge pop on RAW!

 In 1998 there were strong rumors on the internet that Ric Flair was going to the WWF around April and HE was going to be the corporate champion against Austin.  That would have been great.  Here is what would have happened if it were true.  Flair attacks Austin!

 Oh no!  He turns the very heavy R onto Austin and Flair has invaded Austin's territory to furthur escalate the Monday Night Wars!

See how thick they are?  You can have Sabu dive off the top of them if I want!  I know the original signs were skinny but I wanted fat signs.

I am still awaiting the barbed wire boards and we are also going to make the Snake pit better by adding vines to it....Then after that?  Who knows?  I hope we can do more together. Actually when the boards are delivered we will be doing....The hogpen match and the WCW logo that will go on my custom stage whenever I make one.!

It seems that everyone and their brother does customs of stages, steel cages, and rings.  Well I hate being the conformist.  So I am doing other things to be different from the pack.  Eventually I will do all those things but right now I am having fun doing things no one else is doing.

League Assignment- BRING BACK Gimmicks!

Yes it is League of Extraordinary bloggers time.  I see everyone has done their's already so it is time for me....Bring back GIMMICKS in wrestling!  The kid side of me marveled when we had a clown, garbage man, plumber, Hockey player, Dead Man, and Hillbilly wrestling.  Everyone in wrestling goes by their real names or a fake madeup name like Seth Rollins etc.  BORING!

Wrestling doesn't have the big fight feel anymore with people using real names.  Hulk Hogan vs. Andre the Giant....Wow!  What a feud.  These characters were larger than life.  Comic books come to life.  I cannot get excited over BORING names like John Cena...

Wrestlers today do not even wear robes NOR do they have nicknames.  If ya can't give me a gimmick, how about a nickname?  Nature boy Ric Flair...Greg the Hammer Valentine.  Now it is true that Randy Orton is SOMETIMES called the Viper but it is NOT incorporated in his ring introduction.  

I miss the cheesiness of wrestling.  Bring it back.  It is FAR to realistic and winds up as uninteresting today.

Hogan T shirt transfers!

I know Hogan never wore these but I liked the images on the internet...AND I had two extra Eugene shirts from his figure of when he impersonated Hogan so here we go....I think they look great.  I will be using them on my Jakks Hogan figure!
