Metallic Onslaught Show Archive

Listen to the Show

Recap by The Metal Wulf: Our guests for this particular evening consisted of "Super Bad" Richard Venice and Dewey, the Man of 1,000 Gimmicks. (Seriously, this guy borrows from all kinds of wrestling gimmicks, and has wrestled as Dew-dust, Dew-berg, The Dew Meanie, and others.) They collectively call themselves the "Rude Boys Of Wrestling" and have made appearances at assorted Ultimate Wrestling events in recent months, and also perform for other promotions across the state. They were kind enough to share the stories of how they broke into the business, not to mention some things I probably shouldn't mention. Let's just say "Super Bad" had a very unfortunate incident when he attempted to pull Earthquake's old finisher on an opponent...

We also premiered a certain game I'd concocted for the show, which "Super Bad" and Dewey both seemed pretty keen to try out.
This all came about thanks to a conversation that occurred a few weeks ago when we received a surprise visit from Jim Schreck, somehow getting on the subject of song lyrics and how they'd sound being sung or recited by other artists. I believe it was Joe who'd originally mentioned that we should turn that whole thing into a game, and my brain just started running with it.
Seriously, the gears were grinding so heavily that I eventually invested in two sizes of note cards.
On one stack of 3" X 5" cards I wrote the names of assorted rock vocalists, public figures, celebrities, and cartoon characters. The other stack of note cards, 4" X 6" in this case, had snippets of song lyrics written on them. A verse here, a chorus there, an odd middle segment there, you get the idea.
Each player took one of each card from the top of their respective stacks, thereby drawing one card representing a character voice to impersonate and one card for lyrics to sing or recite in that voice.
For example, I started the initial round off by having to sing Deep Purple's "Perfect Strangers" in the voice of Simon Cowell. Now, I've got some voices I can do pretty well, and Simon ain't one of them, but it's all in good fun, and the overall result was worth a chuckle. I did a little better when my turn came again, this time impersonating W.C. Fields reciting "Toxic Waltz" by Exodus.
Poor Josh had a couple awkward moments, each time drawing a female voice to impersonate. His first attempt was Iron Maiden's "Killers" in the voice of Janis Joplin, followed up by having to impersonate Grace Slick singing Metallica's "The Four Horsemen".
It got really silly when Dewey impersonated Darth Vader reciting Motley Crue's "Ten Seconds To Love", as well as Danzig's "How The Gods Kill" in the voice of Batman as done by Christian Bale. (For those unfamiliar, Christian Bale tends to throw a little bit of the ol' death-metal growl into his Batman voice. It's a kind of a kick once ya get used to it!)
"Super Bad" had a couple of fun moments as well, with his first round attempt falling on William Shatner singing performing Sepultura's "Roots Bloody Roots", and following it up with Johnny Cash singing W.A.S.P.'s "Blind In Texas".
Overall, I think the games' maiden voyage went well. We'll have to periodically dabble with it some more as I add to the variety of voices and song lyrics. Lotta potential for growth here, and I have a feeling it's gonna be a load of fun once Jeffie returns to the show in a couple of weeks.
On No Pants Day...
Shudder...

Oh, also wanted to mention that it seems Josh won't be leaving the show after all, as he's decided to take online classes to get his Masters. To be honest, I think we're all just as glad that he's sticking around. Of course, this also means no spiked dunking booth to use in search of his replacement, and no Foul Mouth Girl in a bikini...

Awwwww, hell, like that was gonna happen anyway...
