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.

Screencap Recap #102

  Demolition 93: Lucas vs Parker (UC) Bodybuilder Beatdown 3: Jakob Rawley vs Manny Mendez  (BG East) Pro Sex Fight 2: AJ Irons vs Aryx Quinn (Can-Am) By the way, the Aryx vs AJ video is only available for one more day before the Can-Am sites close for good. ------------- My song of the week is in memory of Chris Rea. (I think it's pronounced Ree - ah.) Chris passed away on December 22nd. He's well known in Europe and Australasia but is considered a "one hit wonder" in the US for his soft rock classic, Fool (If You Think It's Over).  Fool was produced by Gus Dudgeon, who worked with Elton John during his "golden years" (1970 -75). I like the contrast between the smooth production and Chris' gravelly voice. If you like Christmas songs, you might want to also check out Driving Home For Christmas . R.I.P. Chris Rea.

  Beastyboy vs Tyler French: How Low Can You Go? (88Wrestling) Mason Brooks vs ?: Gym Socks & Hard Cocks Dimitri Darkthorn vs Gabe Steele (W4H) My "song of the week" is Land of Hopes and Dreams by Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band. The song was inspired by The Impressions song People Get Ready .  Springsteen and his band add a rock twist and elevate it with an epic performance. If you want to see the full concert, see the playlist below. It's a great, high energy show. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIveWZmYDjBmAdYt7T-NVNx7B3cJutoWs

Screencap Recap #100

Greg Worthy vs Matt Houston (Wrestle Studs) Rory MacLeod vs Jonny Firestorm (BG East) Jesse Zane vs JJ Allen (Muscle Boy Wrestling) It took almost 7 years to finally reach my 100th recap post. It's a momentous occasion for me anyway. Thanks to all of you who have enjoyed my blog over the years. To celebrate the occasion, I've chosen Firth of Fifth by Genesis as my "song of the week". Most people know Genesis from their pop hits from the 80's and early 90's but are unaware of their progressive rock  albums of the 70's. To be honest, the lyrics have never resonated with me too much, but the instrumental parts are so strong it doesn't matter.  At 3:05 the instrumental break begins. At 4:42 you get an epic synth solo from Tony Banks, with strong support from bassist Mike Rutherford and drummer Phil Collins. At 5:44, guitarist Steve Hackett crafts a melodic solo that goes over 2 minutes. If you're a guitar fan, you'll definitely want to check that ...

Screencap Recap #99

  Mars vs Cameron: Rookie Wrecker (W4H) Jakob Rawley vs Kirk Donahue (BG East) Jules's Doctor Has Other Plans (Film 911) My "songs of the week" will be devoted to Billy Joel. I saw a tribute concert in my home city this past week and I remembered how many classics he had. Some of my favorites were omitted but overall it was a very good show. Here's my favorite Billy Joel songs... I'll just say Piano Man & Uptown Girl are not amongst my favorites. Yes, they're definitely classics and I understand why they're popular but I think they're a bit overplayed. Prelude / Angry Young Man from Streetlife Serenade I love the energy of this song. I think it's the perfect concert opener. Allentown from The Nylon Curtain I love the story behind this song about people who stayed in Allentown despite the fall of the steel industry. Very sharp lyrics in this one. Every child had a pretty good shot To get at least as far as their old man got But something happene...
