Screencap Recap #103

  Bjorn vs Jim Ratt (Wrestler4Hire) Punishment By Biceps - King Romeo WR vs Jonny Firestorm My "song of the week" is Don't Fly Away by Elvis Presley (remixed by PNAU). This song played over the end credits of EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert . Don't Fly Away is mash up of Suspicious Minds and Any Day Now . If you remember Cold Heart ,  which was also remixed by PNAU, the style is quite similar.

EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert / Home Again

Director Baz Luhrmann crafted a new biography/concert film of Elvis Presley from interviews, home movies and unreleased/alternative footage from previous films Elvis: That's the Way it Is & Elvis on Tour .   A movie so nice, I saw it twice. If you're a longtime viewer of this blog, you may have noticed that I am a fan of Elvis. (See Screencap Recap #45 & #66 .)  Of course, I was excited about the prospect of a new Elvis concert film when I heard about it several months ago. Fast forward to February 21st: It was a cold day in Boston (around 30F or -1C) and I was feeling sorry for myself because a plan I had hoped for had fallen through.

Screencap Recap #45

Guido Genatto vs Ace Owens: My Nuts, Bro (W4H) Rex Bedford vs Jett Bentley: King of the Ring 3 (88W) Kirk Donahue vs Zip Zarella (BGE) My song of the week is Bridge Over Troubled Water performed live by Elvis Presley and the T.C.B. band.    Simon and Garfunkel, the original performers of the song, were not keen on Elvis' version. To me, this song is worthy of a powerful singer like Elvis and he delivers, big time.   *I've re-edited and re-uploaded this song. It no longer has a lagging picture and the audio has been improved as well. Compare my version to the source track and hear the difference.      

Screencap Recap #66

Aaron Mark vs Muscle Beast (Wrestlingmale) Ethan Andrews vs Matt Engel (RHW) JB with Mr. Latcher (Film 911) For those who don't know, Pat Patterson passed away last week. Patterson was regarded as the first openly gay pro wrestler and one of the best pros in the 1960's and 70's.  Pat Patterson as WWWF North American Champion with The Grand Wizard, 1979.   After he retired in the 80's, he worked alongside Vince McMahon during the WWF's national expansion and helped with creative through to his death. My song of the week is My Way performed live by Elvis Presley in 1973. My Way was Pat's favorite karaoke song, it's also one of mine too.
