Colt Cabana

So it's no secret I love professional wrestling.

I've been watching it since 1989.

I love the athleticism, the characters, both over the top and the ones I can relate to.

The story lines are pretty cheesy and bad a lot of the time, and the celebrity cross overs can be horrendous (Jon Heder) but sometimes cool (Bob Barker).

But as much as we're exposed to WWE and to a lesser extent TNA, a lot of people who aren't hardcore fans, overlook or are completely unaware of the Independent promotions and the wrestlers in them. I recommend Ring of Honor especially. Youtube any match from any of their shows.

Anyway, one wrestler whom has stood out to me is Colt Cabana.

He had a short run in the WWE is Scotty Goldman, which he openly mocks. Unfortunately, this talented guy didn't get the run he deserved and is back to himself, and currently the NWA World Heavyweight Champion. Deservedly so I must say.

I've read a lot about him over the years through the Magazines and Websites, and have checked out matches on youtube, and also on the old ROH shows they show on the Fight Network here in Canada.

But also with being a wrestler, this guy is an entertainer. He also does comedy as well. Very fuckin' funny dud.

In addition to the wrestling and comedy, he also does a weekly podcast called The Art Of Wrestling.
He has talks to a different person in the wrestling industry each week and they just basically shoot the shit about all kinds of different things. Some of his guests include CM Punk, Generation Me, The Iron Sheik and Sara Del Rey.
You don't have to be a wrestling fan to enjoy these, you can just enjoy life stories from people. Talking about experiences on the road, what international travel has been like for them, obstacles they've faced. It's really worth checking out.

He has a couple of websites you can check out. www.welovecolt.com and also www.coltmerch.com.

If you check out the podcast he'll mention it himself, but I will as well, the podcast is free and if you want to support him, head over to coltmerch.com, make a purchase or so or if you don't have the money to spend, tell a friend about it. BTW, my shirt is on the way.

If you head over there, you'll see the DVD entitled Wrestling Road Diaries. It's a documentary of life on the road with himself, Sal Rinauro and Bryan Danielson aka Daniel Bryan of WWE Fame.
I plan on getting a copy very soon.



Anyways, I don't like endorsing people a whole lot, and I usually use this blog to show things I think are funny or random, but this guy is just a straight up awesome guy, who is doing what he loves despite not making a killing while doing it.

Follow him on twitter @ColtCabana and while on there you could follow me as well @bradfordml ;)

Until next time, keep it rockin'

Winning Recipes and One Tough Snooki

I caved and watched this finally.

I laughed, how could you not? If you ever laughed at the Chuck Norris quotes, you'll laugh at this.


Despite laughing at this, the man looks absolutely horrible and all the winning talk on twitter and facebook needs to stop.

Wrestlemania is coming up on April 3rd. The WWE fans are talking about the Championship matches and The Undertakers Streak being on the line again.

But anyone else who is talking about it, is probably talking about the match that will involve Snooki..yea...that's right.

I gotta say as guest host of Monday Night Raw she did a great job, and I am actually looking forward to seeing her get in the ring.

If you didn't see her scrap from the night she was host, here you go.

Springfield Live

This is my 50th entry on my blog and I wanted to give you something not only entertaining but very interesting as well.

So what better way to do that, than not say a whole lot.

I've been a Simpsons fan since I was 5, and was always fascinated of knowing the voice actors behind all the characters.

Just before the Simpsons Movie came out a couple of years ago, the actors appeared on Inside The Actors Studio.

Here are all 5 parts (4 and 5 overlap a little but it's still good). If you've been a Simpsons fan at all, you will love not only seeing the actors bring Springfield to life, in the flesh, but also learn their stories of how they got where they are, and found the voices that we are all familiar with.

NOTE* As it says in the videos, the clips have been blurred due to copyright by FOX.

We can be heroes

I'm sure by now you've heard about what has happened in Japan, if not an 8.9 magnitude earthquake hit and caused a tsunami, over four meters high to hit causing damage I have only seen on the news a handful of times.

When I woke up today and first started watching coverage, the death toll was 16, it is now in the thousands.

So many people have lost loved ones, homes, life savings, so much they have worked for is just gone.

I couldn't help but put myself in the situation in my mind, or at least tried to, cause no matter what you could never really know what it's like.

But we can help, and I encourage you to and to help spread the word.

Copy and Paste this link to the Red Cross website to find out how you can make donations and help people who really need it.

or follow the Red Cross on Twitter @RedCross

Just think, this is the fifth largest earthquake since the 1900's is what they're saying. Bottom line, you just never know. I pray that we are never in the situation looking for help, but am glad we are able to, so please do.

Until next time, keep it rockin'

Back to the Future

My favorite movie triology is easily the Back to the Future Triology.

How can it not be?>

The effects and storyline throughout the movies are just awesome and there's at least 5 times where you'll be on the edge of your seat. For the times you're not? You're probably having a good damn laugh.

There have been so many rumors and false reports about a fourth movie being made, or even the start of a remake of the triology.

Some actors rumored for the remake were Shia LeBouef and Jeff Daniels as Marty and Doc Brown. I honestly thought if they were going to potentially ruin a great franchise, at least those two seemed suitable for the parts.

Thankfully there is no truth to that, as producers have gone on record saying there will not be a fourth installment, nor a franchise remake.

However, they have not left us hanging completely.

For the PC, Mac, iPad and PS3 there is a new Back to the Future game.

It is broken up into 5 parts with the first 2 being available now for purchase over download. For the PS3 it is available to download over the Playstation Network.

Now I have not made the purchase, but I have played the demo and all I can say is that as a lifelong, HUGE fan, I cannot wait to purchase it. It has an original storyline and it seems like it is going to be a lot of fun.

Here's the trailer for it.

Trail Blazing Technology

Technology keeps changing so fast that if you try to keep up with it, you're going to make yourself sick.

Let's take a look back at where we started though to really appreciate that "piece of shit blackberry that's taking 37 seconds to load the facebook app"

Commodore 64
I had one of these. Look at the price and the space you get.



Nintendo 8 bit system
Haha wow, not only were those two hipsters loving it, I'm pretty sure the robot had an orgasm



Centel Cell Phone
If the guys wife didnt have the brick phone, she would have thought her husband was dead because all those random sheep got in his way.



I hope you appreciate you're slow blackberry, outdated Mac Book and junkie Ipod Touch a little bit more now.

Until next time, keep it rockin'

Poems For The Rest

So it's clear that a lot of people go too far on Valentines Day, paying out money for crap that's thrown out in a week or lost in a day or two.

I understand wanting to show that "special" someone how you feel, but if you really feel that way shouldn't you be doind that on a regular basis? Just saying.

Anyways I always come across the other group, the one's who are so bitter about it and stuff and I am here for you right now.

Here's some poems with a not so nice twist that will hopefully brighten up your Vtines Day.

The rain makes all things beautiful.
The grass and flowers too.
If rain makes all things beautiful
why doesn't it rain on you?

BAM!

Roses are red, Violets are blue
monkeys like u should be kept in zoo.
Don't feel so angry you will find me there too
not in cage but laughing at you.

hahaha monkeys

and my personal favorite,

God saw me hungry, he created pizza .
He saw me thirsty, he created Pepsi .
He saw me in dark, he created light .
He saw me without problems, he created YOU.


Happy Half Priced Chocolate day on the 15th :)

Until next time, keep it rockin
