If you effs with this site on the regulack then you heard me mention the Kaiju Big Battel a few weeks ago. Kaiju Big Battel is a mash up of Japanese Anime and WWE wrestling while wearing Godzilla monster or sports mascot costumes. It’s funny as all get out because of how they ape the ‘professional’ wrestling subplots and fighting styles. My ladybug knows the type of shit that sits in the center of my wheelhouse and when she told me to leave my Friday night open I got all excited.
Kaiju Big Battel was definitely created by someone who has dropped some mean peyote. Kaiju is the Japanese word for monster. Godzilla and all the various nemesis characters he fought would be kaiju. These kaiju that I saw wear similiar rubber and foam costumes just better. The character costumes are colorful and trippy and they even have pyschedelic names like Dust-Ed Bunny and Mega Shrooma. The characters revolve around a virtual universe that is controlled by an evil scientist called Dr.Cube. Think of him as an evil VINCE McMAHON. Dr.Cube’s minions fight against the good guys for control of the city. Just like in the Godzilla movies, the city ends up being trashed to pieces as the combatants body slam each other and crash through the arena with reckless abandon.
Kaiju Big Battel is so ready for prime time as a concept. They just need some tighter scripting to really translate their project to the masses. There was a wacky Japanese speed metal band that opens for the battle. Those fools rocked even though you really can’t tell what they are saying. As a fringe event that you can get zooted at with your buds it’s still a winner, but if they were to polish the edges a bit this project could be sold to the kids in the suburbs. Licensing toy deals for the characters along with children’s clothing to match their favorite character would take the projects earning potential to the top. Listen to me, I sound like CLYDE SMITH. Enjoy some of the pics from the evening. Go see the Kaiju Big Battel when it comes to your town.

This is the kind of over the top creativity cats need to look into to stay in the game. If you think this is dope and don’t mind browsing some Chinatown bootleg rack/readin subtitles, check this flick out. Hillarious as all hell

A NES controller as a weapon.
Reminds me of many years ago.
Remembers smashing my little brothers head with the sharp corner of the pad when he beat me at Excitebike.
Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out was my game.
Yeah man, that’s that shit right there.
I saw them in Philly at the Electric Factory in collab with Wizard World Philly (Big comic book con here) and the whole thing was inside a steel cage. I lost my voice. I’ve never lost my voice hooting at a show before. My man Silver Potato (The B-Boying Spud) Did a moonsault off the top of a cage through 3 CUbe minions, then did a fresh windmill and FREEEEEZE. I lost my shit.
I still haven’t found it.
I liked wrestling as a child and cannot imagine how much fun this would be! I wish it would come here!
Wow, um not really sure how to react/respond to this.
Not to be confused with the Plushies….right?
