Wrestling Tunes

 Due to the popularity (not really!) of this one post we made several weeks ago:
https://silentsanctummanga.blogspot.com/2021/01/gibrowker-t.html

We've decided to find a few more songs named after wrestlers. Some were pretty good, while some have pretty much nothing to do with the wrestler they were named after. Some might even feature the wrestler themselves appearing in the music video. So in no particular order, here were a few of them.

Hall Of Fame:

Bowling For Soup  - Alexa Bliss.
Wrestler referenced: Alexa Bliss.
Relevance: Alexa herself appeared in this Weird Science inspired music video. Twisted Bliss and Sleeperhold were mentioned in the song. Larry Steve also appeared in the video. There was also a scene in a wrestling ring and that's good enough for us!
Wyclef Jean, The Rock, Melky Sedeck  - It Doesn't Matter.
Wrestlers referenced: The Rock, Ivory(???).
Relevance: The Rock appeared in this music video. Ivory was also mentioned but that was probably just a coincidence. His catchphrase was also used as the title of the song. He also fought someone in a bar and it was pretty awesome.

Wale ft Skyzoo - Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
Wrestlers referenced: Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Freddie Blassie, Bobby Lashley, Mick Foley, Heartstopper (wrestling move). 
Relevance: I'm taking everything I said before back. This was indeed a great wrestling-related song. Other than it being danceable. Hacksaw Jim Duggan was referenced repeatedly. Be it for his
catchphrase or his 4x4. Othe wrestlers were also very casually referenced. Wale is indeed
an awesome wrestling fan.

Wale - Razor Ramon Freestyle.
Wrestler referenced: Razor Ramon, The Kliq, Vince McMahon, Eric Bischoff, Ric Flair, Big Boss Man, Hornswoggle, Sin Cara, Rick Rude, Jake The Snake Roberts, CM Punk, Go To Sleep, Pipebomb, Curtis Axel, Curt Henning, Jerry Lawler, Kamala, Umaga, Gangrel, IC Title Chyna, Papa Shango, Ricky Steamboat, Rusev, "Too Sweet", Heath Slater, Raw, Dwayne Johnson.
Relevance: Simply incredible! This song also sampled Razor Ramon's entrance theme music.

Insane Clown Posse  - Chris Benoit.
Wrestler referenced: Chris "The Crippler" Benoit.
Relevance: This song was sadly about the Benoit family tragedy. The lyrics
referenced Chris' temporary loss of sanity resulting in his immeasurable regret.
The music video had ICP performing in an underground-ish wrestling ring, featured a blacksmith with a wrestling belt (with little hints of  Pegasus Kid) and flashes of  the wrestler's studio photo could be seen when his name is mentioned.

Kiko Machine - Royal Rumble.
Wrestler referenced: Hulk Hogan, Macho Man Randy Savage, The Undertaker, Ultimate Warrior, "Million Dollar Man" Ted Di Biase, Jake "The Snake" Roberts.
Relevance: The cream of the crop that rises to the top. Appropriately titled Royal Rumble.
The song perfectly captures the rules and mechanics of the said PPV. It doesn't get any more wrestling-er than this!

Hall Of Shame:

21 Savage, Offset, Metro Boomin  - Ric Flair Drip.
Wrestlers referenced: Ric Flair.
Relevance: Other than appearing in the video, doing his catchphrase and the occasional "woos" the song had nothing to do with the legendary Ric Flair. 

Surprisingly enough, this wouldn't be the first or only song about the Nature Boy.

CamRon (Feat. Vado)  - Ric Flair.
Wrestler referenced: Ric Flair.
Relevance: You get a couple of "Woos" and that's pretty much it. 

Killer Mike  - Ric Flair.
Wrestler referenced: Ric Flair.
Relevance: There were a couple of Ric Flair promos shown on the side of buildings.
Again, the lyrics had nothing to do with Ric Flair. I'm beginning to think that all of these
Ric Flair songs are merely referencing his cool/confident wrestling persona and not his in-ring prowess.

King L -Val Venis.
Wrestler referenced: Val Venis.
Relevance: Not even a single "Hello Ladies", Saxophone solo or any sleazy porn reference.
This was disappointingly not wrestling related.

Action Bronson - Barry Horowitz.
Wrestler referenced: Barry Horowitz.
Relevance: Other than that line about "patting himself on the back", the song had nothing to do with Barry Horowitz. Not wrestling related.

The Cenobites (Kool Keith & Godfather Don) - Lex Luger.
Wrestlers referenced: Lex Luger, The Undertaker and The Ultimate Warrior.
Relevance: Not wrestling related. It has a nice beat but sadly it was not wrestling related.

Dick Flair

This entire segment is so emotionally heavy.
It kinda blurred the lines between work and shoot.
Kudos to the "Nature Boy".

Hopefully, this sets up a "one more tag match" with Ric Flair on Summerslam.
Either with Ric and Drew or Ric and Charlotte vs Randy Orton & Triple H.
And even if it doesn't, at least we got this incredible promo.

How OTHERS see wrestling:

How I see wrestling:

REAL or NOT let's just all agree that wrestling hurts.

The moves they do in the ring takes practice and precision.

Be it predetermined or scripted, it still takes guts to be a wrestler.

And if you can't appreciate that then we'd ask you to GTFO of our website.

Thank you and have a nice day!

So We've Heard You Don't Know How To Save Pictures From Instagram!

This is yet another helpful tutorials for all you non-tech savy folks of the interweb. 

Our previous tutorial on How To Print Screen With Your Laptop:

http://silentsanctummanga.blogspot.com/2012/02/so-weve-heard-you-dont-know-how-to.html

Instagram : there are a literally GRAMS and GRAMS of interesting photos on the said site. Mostly good and a handful of bad ones and amongst the 30 something bad ones, chances are you'd want to save a particular image. But what to do? Screenshots /Screen grabbing is such a drag and you don't even have the patience to crop most of them. Leaving you with crappy looking photos announcing to everyone as to how much battery you have left and how much of an insomniac you really are. How pathetic! Let's change all that and do things the right way, the SSM! way!

First things first, if you DO have an Instagram account, follow our account over @

https://www.instagram.com/silentsanctummanga/

And let's be INSTA-BUDDIES! 

Creepy!

Alrighty then, down to the order of business aaaaand for the sake of clarity: step by step screencaps would be provided as opposed to what we did in the previous tutorial.

1. Stalking/Visiting the page of your favorite IG-er. For this particular tutorial we chose to follow

Ms. Anri Okita's acccount.

She has plenty of really REALLY nice.....pictures and that's very important in a site such as Instagram.
Plus she's an excellent artist,

and that's always a good thing!

And if you're smart, you should probably follow her as well! It's for your own good!

2. Selecting your desired photo.

Let's keep this tutorial classy by choosing the photo that best represents her page:

Whoomp!

There it is!

3. Right click then select " View Page Source".

You'd then be directed to a page looking like THIS:

Ughhhhhh,Whadahellman????

Don't worry, Ric Flair!

We'd help you out. This is a SSM! tutorial after all!

Now that Ric Flair had calmed the fuck down. On to step #

4. Click Edit then Find.

The Find action then prompts a Status Bar at the bottom of the page.
Key in "jpg" then press ENTER.

Scroll up/down to find the first match with the said keyword.

5. Copy the link of the said first match.

6. Paste it on a separate tab. Then PRESTO!

A savable image!
Plenty other photos were saved using this method. The entire process is a bit tedious at first but rest assured that it is all well worth it!

Now a simpler way to bypass all this mess is to check if the said photo had been uploaded elsewhere. Like let's say ....on her Twitter account:
https://twitter.com/AnriOkita_real
But then again, some photos are an Instagram exclusive so there's always that dilemma.
That's that and you're welcome!
Now, on to the fapcave!

The Wrostling Station

Oh you didn't know?

just went OLD SCHOOL again.
Well, I can't believe I missed it as well.
Instead of whining like a bitch let's just enjoy some clips, shall we?

So here are some of our commentaries.
Well, no one's older than FLAIR. So he'd definitely epitomize the OLD in old school.
I felt that the Piper's Pit segment was really good. For this would be the only time we'd get to hear Seth Rollins talk and he's actually better than Curtis Axel.
My only complains on the TOO COOL/3MB match is that Rikishi did not don his sumo-esque wrestling gear(Hey, Alexander Rusev can still rock it, Rikishi surely can do as well) and both GRANDMASTER and SCOTTY are a bit too out of shape.
It was fun to see JAKE THE SNAKE, but his appearance was a bit of a lackluster.
I mean, it was a different time and folks aren't so shocked about snakes anymore.
Not unless you're THESE guys....

And quite frankly, THIS was a whole lot more scarier (borderline traumatizing!).

All in all, it was pretty fun. Well not,exactly up to par with THIS.

But yeah, sure! It was pretty decent.

And oh yeah, shit!
I almost forgot...
They'd start airing CHRIS BENOIT matches nowadays.

With them coming out with a new network and all.
This got me all gigiddy like a school girl.
Because I love me some Chris Benoit Matches.

Most especially THIS one in particular!

They'd show an advisory

or something....I dunno.
And quite frankly who cares, the man's finally receiving some due credit that he so rightfully deserves in the first place.

And one more thing, this was what we were referring to when we mentioned new network for the WWE.

Ugh, the logo looks awful but the programming seems pretty promising, observe!

LIKE them at their official FB page:

https://www.facebook.com/WWENetwork

The bad news is that we still have to wait up until the 24th. But until then we could enjoy these old WWE commercials because watching these things never goes out of style!

And seriously don't know what's the difference between this and their previous WWE 24/7 service since we don't have that here in our country

But guess what, I SERIOUSLY don't care!
Still gonna watch it and still gonna enjoy it.
And if you're not down with that then we got ONE WORD for ya!

Kthanxbai!

The Flair Witch Project

From one RICK to another RIC.

And no, we're most definitely NOT talking about THIS guy,

Which GUY?

that GUY!

& we're not gonna repost his notorious(& nefarious)video here,

Which VIDEO?

that ONE!

which ONE?

YES, THAT ONE!

DAMN! You're good, Mr. Astley!

'NATURE BOY' RIC FLAIR

With his trademark WOOOO! and debonair style, Ric Flair is one of the most respected, charismatic and influential wrestler of the modern age. Born Richard Fliehr in Memphis, Tennessee, the fledging Ric Flair was already a high school heavyweight champion in his teens. He was trained for the professional circuit by legendary American matman Verne Gagne, entering the profession for the AWA promotion in 1972 holding George 'Scrap Iron' Gadaski to a 10-minute draw.

Two years later, Flair headed for the NWA Mid-Atlantic area, where the 'Nature Boy' defeated Paul Jones for the Mid-Atlantic Television Title. This began an unparalleled run of ring honors but fate dealt a cruel blow when Flair was involved in a plane crash during October 1975 in which he broke his back in three places. He was told by doctors to never wrestle again and it is a measure of tenacity of Ric Flair that a little over 12 months later he was back in the ring and heading for more victories.

Eventually, Flair found his way into WCW where he was recognized as the World Heavyweight Champion.His career in the WCW sourced when he quit and wound up appearing for the opposing organization, WWF. But with the WCW Heavyweight Belt still adorning his waist.It was reported that Flair owned the belt hence the WCW organization had to buy it back for a whopping $75,000.

Currently in TNA, Flair continues to be one of the busiest wrestler in the profession, often wrestling six nights a weeks and in matches that could go to an hour or more. Very much of the old school, Ric Flair had demonstrated that whilst having the gift of the gab, it is skill in the ring that demands the long-term success.

And now for some more Ric Flair related shenanigans, enjoy!
