Cheap Pop: Brothers Of Destruction Reunions

The Brothers Of Destruction Reunite At The Royal Rumble (Again)

BODSnitsky01_3MB

At the 2005 Royal Rumble, The Undertaker was set to face Heidenreich in a casket match. During a pre-match interview, Heidenreich was interrupted by Gene Snitsky, apparently an admirer of Heidenreich’s work. This was a much bigger deal at the time: RAW and Smackdown were separate brands the Superstars on separate brands rarely interacted.

During the casket match, Snitsky decided to help his new buddy attack The Undertaker. The newly minted bromance took out The Deadman and were all set to roll him into the casket. However, upon opening the casket, “Heidensky” were greeted with a surprise: The Undertaker’s brother, Kane!

Kane took care of Snitsky, allowing The Undertaker to defeat Heidenreich. Despite being a couple of blockheads, Heidenreich and Snitsky were this close to defeating The Undertaker. And they would have gotten away with it, if it wasn’t for that meddling Kane.

https://twitter.com/InstantRandy/status/397561809646796800

3 Count: Go To Sleep

In 3 Count, Three Man Booth will Discuss Wrestling & Wrestling Related Music:
The Good, The Bad & The Cheesy

Even though it’s been 2 years, CM Punk’s now infamous pipe bomb promo is still a moment that wrestling and non-wrestling fans hold in high regard. The moment that ushered in the Summer of Punk is responsible for much more than a change in wrestling. ThreeManBooth was started, in part, to make wrestling fun again. And we’ve found 3 rap songs that are not only tributes to CM Punk but also incorporate the “Pipe bomb” promo in some way.

Papoose sampled the line, “In anyone else’s hands, this is a microphone; in my hands, it’s a pipe bomb” for the song… “Pipe Bomb.” That’s the extent of the Punk references in the song, though that line is repeated a lot. The rest of the song, I think, is about Papoose being better than everyone else in New York City; he was either inspired by Punk’s proclamation of self or was doing what the majority of rap songs do anyway. Either way, this connection to CM Punk is a step above Papoose other vague wrestling footnote. Bobby Heenan famously referred to the finishing move of Tatanka, Native American Wrestler, as “the Papoose to Go.” He was slyly referencing the similarities between a papoose carrier, a type of baby carriage seen in Native American culture, and a Samoan Drop, Tatanka’s finisher. Regardless, Heenan’s influence is so strong that a generation of wrestling fans and Wikipedia grew up believing that “Papoose to Go” or, alternatively, “The End of the Trail” are actual names for that finisher. Sorry, everyone: they’re just jokes. Continue reading
