Wrestlers make the best Singers

[Shawn]

Okay, I had to feel a little strange when I posted the story about the KISS tribute album yesterday, because alongside guys like motorhead there was a pro-wrestler. Apparently he doesn't suck.

So I thought I'd stroll down memory lane and check out how many albums the WWF/WWE has released. It's an armload. I found a site offering the album of which I'm attaching the picture of the cover too. They even offered samples. (beware of evil pop-ups)

It was like beating your cat to death swinging your poodle as the weapon.

Here's a write-up about the most recent. Sort of racy, but probably right on about the level of talent.

So, the question I ask is this, who in the hell buys this crap? (Keep in mind I'm not referring to the albums of entrance tunes or whatever, because those are usually done by guys like Lemmy or Limp Bizkit. I mean the actual wrestlers singing)

[Guest .::BeatFactory::.]

The masses of hardcore wrestling fans and supporters of these guys and gals.

[DudeAsInCool]

That's cause they know how to razzle and fiddle

my 11 year old son is really into this stuff.

Everyday I have to remind him that its fake.

I just love to see the dejected look on his face, when I tell him that...LOL

uber gay ...quite

I'm sure my dad wouldn't mind an album or two. I have one of the intro theme albums. Pretty damn good although it's edited. I got it from either CH or BMG. May as well have been Wal-Mart. Anyways, I get most of my info from the pay-per-view events he hosts. Wrestlemania XX should be big next month. That "uber gay" guy in pink is (Former) Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura. Two guys to his left is the current chairman of the WWE, Vince McMahon. I could name several others in the picture, but that might make it look like I overly enjoy this sport.

Why stop? You left out greats like Classy Freddy Blassy, who is standing behind the now deceased Miss Elizabeth. There's Hillbilly Jim on the far left. ;)

I'm not slighting wrestling, unless they happen to pick up a mic and attempt to sing.

[Kooperman]

I'd wager the song they're about to sing is Y.M.C.A.

Now there's a great song...

I'm sure it's been a while, but how again did Miss Elizabeth die? I'm sure I've seen her on TV in the past 8 years.

And to complete who I know...

HonkeyTonk Man is in back. (in white)

Captain Lou Albano in just below HTM.

I think that is Eddie Guerrero to the right and behind the Captain.

Announcer "Mean" Gene Okerlund is front and center.

And of course, "Macho Man" Randy Savage to the far right in the background.

If the pic was clearer, I might make out a few more. (Is that JYD?)

I'm sure that is JYD.

Miss Elizabeth died @ 6-10 months ago at the home of her boyfriend. (Larry something or another- Lex Luger anyway)

Curt Henning (Mr. Perfect died in the stretch since then.

Here is a piece about both deaths by...The Ultimate Warrior.

[Kooperman]

I didn't know this Miss Elizabeth woman, but after reading that rambling cuckoo column you linked to, I was curious enough to track down her cause of death:

Wow...what a read! Thanks to both of you for the news, although Koop's was more to the point. What a shame. She was really a stunning presence. I haven't seen Luger lately so, maybe he's doing time or something.
