3 Count: MTV’s VMA Snubs

Posted on August 25, 2013 by 3mbooth
In 3 Count, Three Man Booth will Discuss Wrestling & Wrestling Related Music:
The Good, The Bad & The Cheesy

MTV had always had an interesting relationship with Professional Wrestling. They were an item with WWE during the Rock N’ Wrestling Era. Broke up with WWE somewhere between Golden Era and The New Generation (Despite The New Generation’s several attempts at music videos.) Got back together with WWE during The Attitude Era. Stuck around for a little while, even through the awkward times. Finally broke up with WWE and dated a younger, “cooler,” wrestling promotion called Wrestling Society X. Quickly broke up with WSX and had an on again/off again relationship with TNA. Had a fling with Lucha Libre USA. And finally, decided to just remain friends with wrestling thanks to their mutual friend, The Miz.

Tonight marks the 30th Anniversary the MTV’s Video Music Awards. Many of music’s top stars like Katy Perry, Lady GaGa, N’Sync (Allegedly) and Drake, the heir to the Drake’s Cakes fortune, will be there to accept their awards and/or put on over-the-top performances of their hits. While MTV has spared no expense in bringing out the popular music artists of the year, they forgot  to recognize two wrestlers/musical acts. No, it’s not 3MB or Fozzy. We’re talking about these two!

Zack Ryder: Hoeski



Since 2012, Zack Ryder’s career has been on a downward spiral. However, in 2013, Ryder had a brief reassurance, when his single Hoeski, reached 92 on the iTunes Top 100 charts. Hoeski was so successful, that Ryder even put out a music video to go along with the catchy tune.

As we discussed in great detail, the Hoeski video is a great parody of several boyband cliches. And since it was already snubbed from the Grammy’s, we were hoping that MTV would do the right thing and give Ryder the opportunity to be the first WWE Superstar to win a Moon Man. Best Pop Video? Artist To Watch? Best Video With A Social Message? Ryder’s not nominated for any of these? Are You Serious Bro?

But it’s okay, Zack. We at Three Man Booth are here to help. We’d like to present you with the first ever: Max Moonman for “Best New Artist” and “Best Use Of Vernacular For Dissing Your Ex.”

Congratulations, Broski on your receiving the first ever Max Moonman! Hopefully, this will lead to bigger accomplishments in your future!

Mickie James: Somebody’s Gonna Pay


Mickie James embraced her inner Y2J and found a balance between pro-wrestling and music. This year,  has transformed herself from a Bubbly Knockout to the Heartbreakin’, History Makin’, Knockouts Champion and released her 2nd album and single, Somebody’s Gonna Pay, on May 7th. The single reached #15 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart and released a music video, full of cameo appearances from TNA Wrestlers like Jeff Jarrett and Magnus and WWE Hall-Of-Famer/Former Stalk-ee:  Trish Stratus.

Unfortunately for Mickie, MTV doesn’t really focus on Country Music unless your name is Taylor Swift, so her music video for Somebody’s Gonna Pay was not nominated for any awards. Although, she could have been nominated for Best Female Video, Artist To Watch and Best Collaboration (Her and Trish? C’mon.)  But it’s okay, Mickie James. Who needs an MTV Moonman when you can have you very own Max Moonman!
Mickie James wins a Max Moonman for “Best Female Video,” “Best Collaboration”. and “Best Way To Make Somebody Pay.”
Congratulations, Mickie! Keep breaking hearts and making history on tour and every week once in a while on TNA iMPACT.
Once again, congrats to Zack Ryder and Mickie James on receiving the first ever Three Man Booth: Max Moonmen. MTV might not appreciate your music video efforts, but we do.

I Was There: ROH Manhattan Mayhem V

Posted on August 24, 2013 by 3mbooth
In “I Was There” 3MBooth provides a first hand account of a things we attend.

Whenever Ring of Honor comes to town, you are guaranteed to see some wrestling that you’ve never seen before. Combine that with the Hammerstein Ballroom, one of the tentpoles of ECW during its existence. That union has lined the wall of the Ballroom (and the Manhattan Center above it) with an undeniable passion for wrestling and a bit of a devilish streak.

Before the show on August 17th, the crowd entertained itself by chanting “YES!” in honor of ROH Alum Bryan Danielson / WWE Superstar Daniel Bryan. There were the prerequisite “Cena Sucks!” There was even some Fandango-ing. The Hammerstein Ballroom was a mini-Brooklyn crowd for a little while, until Manhattan Mayhem started. Then, the Led Zepplin comes on and the Streamers Fly!

The crowd wasn’t the only group having fun with the streamers. Wrestlers like The Young Bucks appreciated the show of respect and basked in the papier mache shower. Other wrestlers like Silas Young attacked the streamers; this only resulted in more streamers being thrown directly at him (rather than in his general direction). Everyone was rowdy in anticipation of the action to follow.

Silas Young, initially an antagonist of the ROH crowd, defeated Adam Page and changed everyone’s opinion with a spectacular finishing sequence that included a rolling fireman’s carry, a top rope handstand and a springboard off the top rope. The opening match set the bar for the night. Between the Tag Matches of C&C Wrestle Factory and Adrenaline Rush, The Young Bucks and The Forever Hooligans, and the ROH Tag Title Match where The American Wolves lost to reDragon (Bobby Fish and Kyle O’Reily), tag team wrestling of all sorts was on display.

But there were a lot of Singles matches as well. In addition to Matt Taven fending off Mike Mondo’s chances for a future ROH TV Title match (due to “assistance” from Truth Martini, Kasey Ray and Seleziya), there were 3 quarter final matches in the ROH World Title Tournament: Tommaso Ciampa advanced over Mike Bennett; Machine Gun Karl Anderson and Unbreakable Michael Elgin clubbed each other until Elgin emerged victorious; Kevin Steen was not only victorious over Roderick Strong, but after the match he paid tribute to a former ROH Wrestler. He pulled the mask of El Generico off the head of a fan and raised it up to the crowd. Then, in a show of respect, he kissed the mask prompting the crowd to chant “Ole!” in tribute.

The gesture was in line with the “Honor” portion of Ring of Honor. Each match ended in a handshake between the participants, respecting the code of honor that the company prides itself on. That is, with the exception of one: Marshall Law, R.D. Evans and Q.T. Marshall, faced a mystery tag team that revealed themselves to be returning wrestlers Eddie Kingston and Homicide. Dressed peculiarly in button down shirts and clown masks, the duo known for their chaotic behavior lived up to expectations. Post match, Homicide proceeded to break the fingers of R.D. Evans! Then, they returned at the end of the show to break the fingers of one half of the new Tag Team Champions, Kyle O’Reily. There’s never a dull moment when Ring of Honor and the Hammerstein Ballroom get together.

Highlight Reel: Tradition of Excellence

Posted on August 23, 2013 by 3mbooth
In Highlight Reel, 3MB will look at funny and interesting wrestling videos

When you’re a Wrestling fan, you sometimes see and hear things differently. Your ears perk up when you someone tells you to “take care” without saying “spike your hair.” Or when you’re told something is “the bottom line” without adding, “because Stone Cold said so.” Or if someone tells you that there’s “meat on the table” and they didn’t dump gazpacho on your head. A lot of these unfinished sayings are in our heads. Other times, though, they are signals from one wrestling fan to another. We weren’t sure what to make of Nicholas Selby and his “Welcome Freshmen of Georgia Tech – Mechanical Engineering” Speech at first. See, his conclusion is queued to “Also Sprach Zarathustra” aka the theme from Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey AKA The Nature Boy Ric Flair’s theme.

Maybe Nicholas’ excitement is from the adrenaline rush that is public speaking. Maybe the swell of Richard Strauss’ composition has overtaken him. Or maybe Nicholas is excited that he’s allowed to say “bad-ass” on a stage to a room of classmates and professors. We think it’s because Nicholas Selby is channeling the Four Horsemen. It’s not just the theme; that is only the first clue. He also used the phrase “Tradition of Excellence,” one of the Horsemen’s monikers. It could just be another phrase co-opted by wrestling or it could mean that Nicholas wants to ride with greatness. Either way, it’s a better way to get out a Wrestling laden message than to cover your cap and gown in rhinestones. That would most certainly get vetoed.

Woooooooo!

Match 05: The Real Americans vs. The Prime Time Players

Zeb Colter talks about the WWE being in the headlines recently….

Rather than go where we think he’s going to go, Zeb Colter talks about how Antonio Cesaro and Jack Swagger are Real Americans. Colter says they’re pure unlike everyone in Anaheim. Colter starts talking about the “It’s a Small World” ride and how he’s a little ashamed to be in this country right now. Colter starts to rant about “illegals” enjoying vacation time after stealing jobs from people like him.

Zeb Colter asks the WWE Universe to put their hand over their hearts and in a loud, clear voice say “We The People!”

The Prime Time Players actually come out to cheers!

Winners: The Prime Time Players

 

 

Backstage: Big Show tells Renee Young that he and Mark Henry are planning to form a tag team to take on The Shield.

Brad Maddox informs The Big Show that he has to face The Shield in a handicap match.


 Backstage: Zack Ryder and Justin Gabriel talk with a Foot Locker employee about new Footlocker Shoes.

 

 

Fandango’s music plays and Fandango and Summer Rae dance in the Locker Room Footlocker. After being told about some purple sneakers, Fandango dances off with Summer Rae.

 

 

Backstage: WWE Superstars who we have never seen before and will probably never see again are preparing for a match that will probably never happen. Ryback walks up and tells two of them to leave. Another person tries to leave, but Ryback stops him. Ryback tells the guy that it’s his locker room. Ryback makes the guy stand up and give his bag to Ryback, but Ryback just throws the bag.

 

Ryback bullies the guy some more tossing the bag and making him pick it up. Ryback tosses the bag into the shower and makes the guy go get it again.

 

 

Ryback forces the guy to open up his bag then turn on the water. The guy tells Ryback this is all he has but Ryback slaps him and tells him to turn on the water again. The guy does as he’s told and fills up his clothes and bag with water. Ryback makes him stop then kicks him out of the locker room.
