It’s been a festive 3-Day Weekend at 3MBooth. Saturday was Free Comic Book Day, Sunday was May The Fourth and Today is Cinco de Mayo! And since today is a holiday, rather than post our Total Divas Recap, we decided to share something a little more Cinco de Mayo related, courtesy of our best friends (In our head), Nerdist!
In Snapshots, Three Man Booth searches for funny images to share.
It’s May the Fourth, everybody! The recent tradition of puns – the classic Star Wars’ line “May the Force Be With You” with the date, May 4 – is a celebration of long running love the of sci-fi saga. Everyone’s a Star Wars fan in the same way that everyone’s a wrestling fan. In the past, the wrestling / Star Wars cross-over has shown us Layla channeling her inner princess and lightsabers being taken to the extreme. But that’s original trilogy, right? What about the prequel trilogy: The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, The Revenge of the Sith? Well, when Goldust returned to WWE PPV at Battleground, he wore Darth Maul inspired facepaint:

Someone had to be brave enough to come out in support of the prequels, right?
The first Saturday in May is Free Comic Book Day. It’s to encourage everyone to visit their participating local comic book stores who have free books from many publishers for you to check out. But don’t stop there. Be sure to check out what your local store has to offer. Thinking of seeing The Amazing Spider-Man 2 movie this weekend? you know the one featuring wrestler turned superhero, Spider-Man? You might one to grab some of his stories? Or, you’re going to Bergen Street Comics, you can check out their independent section. You never know when you’re going to come across some wrestling:
Dennis Pacheco should take after Teddy Long and make this a tag team match.
If you have been watching RAW and Smackdown, you know that Paul Heyman has been very vocal in letting everyone know that his client, Brock Lesnar, conquered The Undertaker’s Undefeated Streak at Wrestlemania. Just in case you didn’t get the memo, the accolade has been added to Paul Heyman’s Wikpedia.
Several.
Several.
During Wrestlemania weekend, WIRED magazine released an article about one of the unsung heroes of the WWE Universe: the video editor. It’s a staple of any WWE programming whether it be a recap of hour 1 of RAW in hour 3 or a “this just happened” summary of the last 15 minutes. But for Wrestlemania season, the video packages reach a different level. They incorporate real music (with all due respect to uber-talented Jim Johnston) like setting the John Cena / Bray Wyatt feud to Eminem’s “Legacy:”
That was one video package highlighted in the article. The other was from Wrestlemania 27, where Nas’ “Hate Me Know” summed up the Miz’s headlining moment and did more to highlight his main event status more so than being the WWE Champion did.
