Recap by The Metal Wulf;
So, after the out of control insanity of last week, I figured we'd be hard pressed to follow that goofiness up for a second straight week.
I was wrong, so terribly, terribly wrong...

The Demon Azkath, Just Joe, and Foul Mouth Girl from The Last Exit For The Lost showed up to honor the birthday of our long-suffering host, Joe Wyatt. We celebrated by doing a variation of a Russian Roulette show. If you're familiar with The Last Exit, you know what I'm talking about. For those new to this concept, allow me to explain:

In a traditional Russian Roulette show, "bullets" are chosen at random from a bag, but only when certain songs are played. These songs usually fall into the category of cheesy, overplayed stuff. Each "bullet" is actually a small slip of paper with a special action or activity printed on it. For example, if Joe had chosen the slip that said Just Joe Hugs Everybody, that's what would happen. And, as I recall, that did transpire. One of the more tolerable bullets, to be honest. Believe me, they can get pretty brutal...
So, in this variation, Joe the birthday boy got to pick a random bullet during each talk break, and got to choose who got to perform the action written on that particular bullet.
Much to Joe's dismay, one of the first bullets to be pulled said that Joe had to play Alice Cooper's "He's Back (The Man Behind The Mask)". Not one of Alice's most popular tracks on our show. Personally, I really don't mind it so much, but Joe can't stand it, so you can only imagine how that went over...
But, in the end, the song was played, and Joe complained that his birthday was starting to suck. And things weren't about to get any better...

The next bullet said "Randy Dances". Now, this was kind of tough, because anything with a danceable rhythm is kind of scarce on our show. However, I had a little brainstorm. There's an old classic rock song called "Black Betty" that never fails to get me moving, and thankfully Azkath had a version of it handy. Yes, that is what I danced to, and I'm thinking from here on in, that song's got to be my official dancing music.
During my performance, it was suggested that I give out lap dances. Joe didn't seem very receptive, though, so I moved on to Will, Lindsey, Kasey, and Josh. Can't really say that what I was doing could best be described as a lap dance, though. More like random humping motions, in rhythm, of course.
Overall, my efforts really weren't appreciated that much.
Amd Joe's compaints continued...

Things picked up on the next bullet. Funny thing is, Josh jumped at the chance to take one more the team when this bullet, which was called "Through The Board", was drawn.
A large, and moderately thin, board was placed on the floor, held up by two cinder blocks. It was then debated as to who was going to go through the board, and how they were going to go through. After much deliberation it was decided that Azkath would actually be the one to go through.
Further deliberation ensued as to HOW he would go through...
Approximately five minutes later, it was finally decided that Rick and I would do a double chokeslam on Azkath. It went pretty well, all told. I mean, Azkath was able to still talk and walk about afterward, so I guess he must have been okay.

Will was the subject of the next bullet, entitled "Hammer Smashed Face". Will had to lie on the floor, holding a Mac Book in front of his face. Azkath then took a VERY large hammer (and when I say large, imagine Viking weaponry...), and proceeded to smash the Mac Book over Will's face. Eventually the book was just left on the floor to be abused as we passed the hammer from person to person. I honestly thought we were going to lose Josh to a full-blown Viking Berserker Rage, and even I started to enjoy swinging that thing just a little too much.
Let's face it, Azkath's got some REEEEAAAALLLLY cool toys at his disposal!

Joe's birthday present from Azkath was finally revealed, much to the dismay of all. Yes, I regret to inform the Metallic Onslaught listening community that a brand new Jeffie has been created and unleashed on our show.
It was all good though, because the newest Jeffie made the perfect subject for the next bullet, which was entitled "DVD Player To The Head". Now, it was around this time that an old guest of ours decided to pop in unexpectedly. UWF wrestler, Jay Flyer, showed up with his security staff, and it was actually Jay's head of security who got to swing the DVD player at Jeffie's skull.
It didn't take long for the real carnage to happen. We ended up with a full-on Onslaught/Security staff brawl, and once the smoke cleared, I found myself holding that monstrous hammer, and wearing that goofy viking helmet that keeps popping up in my vicinity. Oh, have I mentioned that it seems this new "personality" is called Olaf?
Go figure...

Next bullet: Hugs! Yes, Just Joe made his rounds, accompanied by Jeffie, hugging everybody in their paths. To be honest, this was kind of a breath of fresh air, following everything else.

Speaking of fresh, Josh got the opportunity to freshen up Just Joe, because the next bullet requred that Just Joe be bathed. Not sure how that went for Josh. I mean, there IS a shower upstairs, and the two of them went up together, and Just Joe DID come back in his boxers, and with wet hair, so....
I'm guessing it was a success?

Time flies when your having fun, as the saying goes, and the final bullet of the evening once again fell on Just Joe. This one was called "Basement Time", and it was with the promise of cake that Just Joe was lured inside the door behind the basement. He was promptly shut in and told to be careful of the spiders...
I really can't blame Just Joe for screaming like a little red-haired girl with skinned knees. I don't particlularly care for spiders eithes, which probably explains my own screams when he came out of the basement and started hugging me, allowing the spiders to leave his body and crawl all over mine...
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!

And so, it was on that note that Joe's birthday celebration for this year came to a close, meaning this will probably be the last time we experience the Russian Roulette fun for at least another, oh, seven weeks or so, when Bill's birthday rolls around!

May 8 - No Pants Day!

Recap by The Metal Wulf: Okay, it's a wrap. My very first celebration of No Pants Day on The Metallic Onslaught is officially done and over, so any feelings of unrest and overwhelming discomfort can get shelved.
Until next year, anyway...

We had quite the gathering this year, too. Karma-Lized from Roc City Roller Derby joined us with a few of the girls, specifically Ja-Boodie, Mia Malicious, and Camaraderie. We were more than happy to give them some time to introduce themselves, discuss how they got into Roller Derby, and promote their season opener.

Wrestler's Dewey Murray, aka The Man Of 1,000 Gimmicks and "Super Bad" Richard Venice also joined us once again. They took full advantage of No Pants Day by donning their wrestling tights, and decided to promote an upcoming Rochester show with me sandwiched firmly between them.
I was told this was one of the funnier moments of the show. Let's put it this way, they were mentioning certain ECW wrestlers appearing at this event, and it was a little awkward hearing the name Balls Mahoney mentioned considering the close proximity of, well...I'm sure you can understand why I pleaded, "Don't say balls!!!"

Jeffie was on hand, along with Foul Mouth Girl and Just Joe from The Last Exit For The Lost. I gotta say, they were certainly in the No Pants Day spirit. Jeffie in his boxers, Just Joe in his boxers, and FMG in layers of undergarments.
Okay, so I really can't complain about FMG in her undies, but she pulled a slightly mean little trick on us. At the top of each hour she removed one layer of undies, and said she'd remove the last layer at midnight.
But, when midnight arrived she announced that No Pants Day was over, and promptly put her pants back on...
We are ALL such suckers...

The night had more than it's fair share of carnage, with Just Joe becoming an early casualty as he fell victim to an attack from Joe. Jeffie certainly took his lumps as well, as he and Just Joe each took turns getting wrestling chops not only from Dewey and Super Bad, but from Karma and Mia as well.
Actually, I'd have to say that Mia's chop was probably the loudest and sounded the most painful. It also left the reddest handprint on Just Joe's chest...

Josh had actually decided to protest No Pants Day by wearing jeans, and claiming that he had grown denim skin didn't convince anybody. Before the night was over, he was separated from his jeans courtesy of Karma, Mia, and Camaraderie.
Of course, Josh somehow didn't seem to object too much, and was grinning blissfully as the girls got him down to his boxers...

I took my share of abuse as well. In addition to being sandwiched between Dewey and "Super Bad", I ended up with both Jeffie and Just Joe in my lap throughout the evening. And Jeffie seemed to feel a need to fondle my man-boobs (yes, I'm a big guy, I have them...), which I think I tolerated with at least some semblance of grace, if not a complete lack of panic...

Cthulhu also decided to drop in for a brief visit.
Funny thing, one moment I'm fine, next there's a clap of thunder from outside and I've got this green squid-like thing attached to my wrist...
You know things have gotta be bad when you've officially traumatized an Elder God. When you've made a Great Old One shudder in horror, I imagine you must have been involved in something pretty distasteful, and Cthulhu made it very clear to us that we were ALL out of our minds!
Seriously, here's a being that's been awoken from eons of slumber, thinking it's time to bring his own brand of madness into the world and to do his part to spread chaos, and when he thinks the time has finally come...
...he discovers that it's already too late and the world is officially a lost cause...
I'm sure our little green buddy will be fine, though. Of course, he didn't take too well to the impostor that Just Joe had in his possession. Kind of a "Will the real Cthulhu please stand up" moment. Should look fun on the video!

Outside of some confusion over whether or not I'm a real wolf (seriously, how could anyone possibly think otherwise...), that pretty much covers all the No Pants Day bases. Things should be back to a relatively normal scope next week!
Not that we ever really have a "normal" show, that is...







And the Time Lapse Version of the whole night...

April 24 - A New Game and a Tag Team...

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...

April 10 - Wrestlers and More...

 Listen to the Show - Pics

Recap by The Metal Wulf: Well, this sure was a busy night!

Kim Draheim joined us for an hour or so to promote a couple of upcoming shows. For those unfamiliar with Kim, he's one hell of a guitar players who's been playing music throughout the area for many years and is probably best known for his previous band, Static Cling. He's now fronting Infra-Red Radiation Orchestra, a group that specializes in good old-school psychedelic garage rock. Worth checking out if it sounds like it may be up your alley!

Also on hand were UWF's Kriptic Keegan and Patrick O'Malley, and I must say this made for a somewhat tense evening. This show fell on the night before these two were to face each other in a No. 1 Contender's Match at UWF's Divine Intervention IV event at DeSales High School in Geneva.
Needless to say, these guys really don't seem to like each other much. There was a great deal of verbal sparring in the early going, but we were able to keep them calmed down enough to get them to share some of their early experiences in the wrestling business.
Things did end up getting physical between them, resulting in Josh and myself attempting to pull them apart. This segment was recorded for posterity, so be on the lookout!
In retrospect, I'm starting to think Josh and I should start receiving a bit of hazard pay!
Or not...



Kriptic ended up storming out of the building at just about the same time Jay Flyier showed up for a bit, and Jay was commenting on how irate Kriptic seemed. We got Jay to discuss his match from last months' Edge Of Darkness event in Phelps, where his tag team partner, David Evans, turned on him. Made for an awkward situation, as they'd retained the tag titles in that match, forcing each of them to choose a different partner for a match at Divine Intervention IV, where the tag belts would go to the winning team.

Jeffie was on hand, and I think it's safe to say that he successfully annoyed a number of people. But, let's face it, that's what Jeffie does best. Hell, he even got my goat toward the end of the show, when he decided to play a little game of "What's In Jeffie's Pants?"
The object in question turned out to be my poor digital camera. Jeffie tried to reassure me that it wouldn't be so bad as he'd recently shaved.
All I can say to that is EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!
It's all good, though, as I'm pretty sure the camera has been sufficiently sterilized and disinfected.
Still, there's the principal of the whole matter...
I think we may have to issue a little payback in the future. Hmmmmm, what's a good way to get under Jeffie's skin? I mean, really, how do you best annoy a being who was created specifically for annoyance?
The gears are grinding folks, the gears are grinding...
