a new project I am working on - Ringside Riffs

[devilfish]

Hey all, this is Brian A. Henegar long-time crapper, and I have something to ask the forums. You guys are probably familiar with the concept of Mystery Science Theater 3000, and like you, I miss it. Well the guys who ran it are running a new service called "RiffTrax" where you can download mp3 commentaries for movies at a cost of $.99 up to $2.99. Well, a new part is called iRiffTrax where people can upload their own and sell them for a profit.

I am here because I am starting a new project called "Ringside Riffs" where I riff on suitable bad wrestling matches and events. I am wondering the folks here at the boards would be interested. My first event which I hope to have ready by January of 2009, will be the 1991 Great American Bash.

Also I am looking for suggestions for future riffs. I can do single matches or whole events. any ideas you can give will be greatly appreciated, I hope to have a free sample ready by the first of the year.

Thanks

Brian A. Henegar

The Chamber or Horrors match and Kennel From Hell are a must. Also for whole shows WOW Unleashed.

[Blade Braxton]

This is an idea myself and RD have toyed with for years. Look forward to seeing what you do.

You want to riff on something, I'd say there's nothing better (or worse) then both volumes of The Grand Masters of Wrestling.

[Dave at the Movies]

Pretty much anything mid 90s Dungeon of Doom. You know the whole Yeti thing and all that.

I'm interested in Ringside Riffs,
Great American Bash 1991
Heroes of Wrestling
Wrestlemania 9 (Wrestlemania legacy VHS version)
KOTR 1995
Fake sting match from Halloween Havoc 1991
Sting VS Black Scorpion (STarrcade 1990!)

Halloween Havoc 1995 would be a great choice along with ECW December to Dismember 2006.

This sounds like a great idea. I've always wondered what it actually sounds like when people agonize through a particularly bad match or card. I imagine it sounds like a cat coughing up a hairball.

Also, I recommend WCW Uncensored 1995. Not because anything spectacularly bad happened, but because absolutely nothing of any report happened, and a boring card is far worse than one that aspires to Wrestlecrap.

I love MST3K and think this could be a really cool idea. Keep us updated.

Well, progress on writing the first riff is going well, but the actual recording work has hit a snag, as my microphone I was using has decided to die. I have a new one ordered from ebay, and it will be here soon, but the downtime I have now, has given me a chance to do some work on the concept, and I must say, I love the suggestions you;ve given me. Now, this is a tough one, but I figures it can;t hurt to ask. I wanna do "Women of Wrestling Unleashed", but the copy I taped on my VCR is nowhere to be found, and I need to know, is there anyone out there who can help me get a copy?

Thanks

I've always wanted to see somebody do something like this. I can't wait to see it.

Match suggestion:
Goldberg vs Brock Lesnar (Wrestlemania XX)

Event suggestions:
WWE New Year's Revolution 2005
WCW Slamboree 2000

Sounds cool. Hogan Warrior II from 98 at Halloween Havoc and Hogan Michaels from Summerslam 05 are musts.

I'm actually working on a similar project with a couple of friends of mine. We're recording commentary over a variety of matches (japanese, mexican, indy, classic wrestling, etc.) Some of it is on that Mystery Science tip. We'll be putting it together in an epsiode format and its going to be called Black Smarket Wrestling. I'm very interested to hear what you're bringing to the table.

I don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but a good match to riff in my opinion would be THAT Jackie Gayda match.

It's been unofficially dubbed "The Albino Leopard Match" due to all the missed spots.

...I'll be showing myself out now....

[El Hijo del Havoc]

Hogan Vs Flair- Uncensored 99 is a MUST
