raven's log - august 27, 2008
sorry its taken me so long to write. i know i say that every blog, but what can i say, i am a combination, very busy, very lazy, procrastinating bastard. first off, lets give vic a big hand for the site update. it looks fucking great and he works his off. thank you vic for your hard work,
let's see, what do i have to talk about. you know for the life of me, i cant remember. it seems like there is something very important to discuss but . . . . oh yeah, i just got back from tokyo for wing kanemura's new promotion and it was a helluva show. big 6 man action, with me tracy smothers, leatherface, wing, tanaka, and another japanese guy whose name i cant spell.
i'll tell you, leatherface is fucking exciting in japan. the motherfuckers were going apeshit for him. awesome act and he does it to perfection. i love watching people being chased by a chainsaw wielding maniac. i would bet that that is why terry funk came out as chainsaw charlie, so he could run around with a chainsaw. unfortunately for terry, it isnt quite the same here as it is in japan because there is a lot more leniency in japan towards chasing fans with a chainsaw than in the u.s. shame on us. plus there, those crazy japanese fans, get a kick out of big scary people chasing them with chainsaws and throwing chairs at them. they think its fun. a good time had by all.
ooh, something else important. my second movie could be going places. it's called sleeper and its a horror film. i play a severely fucked up dude, who is both the top heel (the only heel), extremely intelligent, a complete badass, and very fucked up. did i say fucked up twice, well it fits, cause he's doubly fucked up.
the website is up live at www.sleeper-film.com. i've seen some of the footage and it looks great. the trailer will be up soon, so please check it out.
i hope i am allowed to say this. we will be at the AFM, American Film Market to shop it this fall, so wish us luck. i will be attending and i am really looking forward to it.
i also want to thank everyone who helped me in the movie as i am a complete novice. the list is to long, thank you everyone, but i definitely want to thank dru the director , judd the producer, and most importantly darko the stunt coordinator. the guy was awesome and he came up with some really sweet fight scenes, and he also let me add what i wanted . if i thought of something to add, he'd think of something to add to that. and if i thought of something better or different or just something i wanted to do, he was cool, lets do that. zero ego. and so creative. he was keanu reeves stunt double in the matrix, so anytime you watch that movie and you go, no way did keanu do that, well it was my buddy darko.
i also want to put over everybody at the other movie i shot, from the director roy to the insane clown posse (icp), and everyone else that helped me shoot a month's worth of filming in 5 days so i could go to australia for sleeper. i have been really lucky these last 3-4 months. i've been in 8 different countries, portugal, ireland, australia, new zealand, spain, japan, germany, and the united states. my beautiful wife has been so unbelievable about traveling so mu ch, and its fuckin hard on relationships. i bring her whenever i can, but it isnt often enough. i dont know how more wrestler marriages dont end up in divorce.
what . . . wait a minute, you say i cant count the good ole u.s.a. as one of my countries. that i was only in 7, not 8. why not, i was there. i 'm here. how dare you sir, i am not trying to pad my itinerary; hey i was at the gathering for icp, that should count as 8 then. what do you mean no that doesnt count; fine, i was only in 7 countries. sassafrasen, harumph, thpbtt, and bah humbug. speaking of the gathering, that was . . words cant do justice to how off the hook, batshit crazy that show was. big, big ups to the clowns. i mean it was lunacy, the show started at 1230 am or so in the midst of a 4 day, three night, all weekend, overnite, non stop, carnival, concert, sleepover, freak out. they had everyone from the 2 live crew to 3 6 mafia to ice mother fucking t.
what raises the crazy to a whole other level is that the fans have been conditioned that unlike at other wrestling events where you get tossed out if you throw things, any kind of things, at the ring, here you get thrown out for not hurling debris in the squared circle.
