KISS - Creatures Of The Night (Promo 1982)
Interesting note. With Ace on his way out, he didn't play on the Creatures of the Night album so the guitar work on the title song was actually done by future Mr. Mister guitarist Steve Farris.

PRIDE FC opening theme music
On this day 20 years ago, PRIDE Fighting Championships held their first event. I love Japanese MMA. We need more MMA companies to have epic themes like this. Gets your blood pumping.

In Defense of King Mabel and Why He's Not The Worst King of the Ring Winner
In Defense of King Mabel and Why He's Not The Worst King of the Ring Winner
October 5, 2017

For most of it's history, the King of the Ring tournament has been a tournament that either had legends win or was a stepping stone for future greatness with many legendary WWE careers being kicked off by winning the King of the Ring tournament. When people think of King of the Ring winners, they usually look at legends like Bret Hart, Owen Hart, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Triple H, Kurt Angle, Edge, and Brock Lesnar as being among the best. However, not all King of the Ring winners are fondly remembered and one of them is King Mabel. Winning the tournament in 1995, Mabel not only won what many considered one of the worst King of the Ring tournaments on one of the worst pay-per-views of all time but many consider his win one of the worst in the tournament's history and is routinely considered one of, if not, the worst winner of all time. While it is true Mabel never came close the legendary status that many of the other winner did, Mabel also gets a bad rep and really isn't as horrible as many paint him out to be. Being a big King Mabel fan since the 90s, I feel it's time to defend him, debunk some of the talking points, and explain that while Mabel may not be the most obvious choice to win, it's really not as crazy as it seems but actually makes more sense then you think and while Mabel will never go down as one of the best King of the Ring winners, he's not the worst.
