----In the tradition of the holidays, I would like to present Flashback today from last year on Christmas Eve. I was feeling a bit creative and wrote this little thing with help from my daughter Kayte. I figure some of the newer readers have not seen this and it is a bit dated in references, but you might find it funny. You can CLICK HERE for the FLASHBACK...but...it is a few days late, but here is the new updated version!!
TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS - TLCW STYLE!!
Twas the night before Christmas, the house was high
There were fifty wrestlers there, I would not lie
In the dressing room, the TLCW workers were drinking beer
Hoping that IWA would not be there
The fans were marking out of their heads
Waiting to hear what Dustin Starr said
Out from the back came the new improved Dale Tucker
He had turned on Jon Michael; that Tucker
In the parking lot, arose such a clatter
It was Cody Melton and he is yet to matter
Standing by the window, it was Flash
Thinking I wished I was in Puerto Rico for a Christmas bash
As I looked outside again at the new-fallen snow
I heard, “I am not gay, you know??”
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear
But a black man with blond hair holding a beer
He was so lively and loud
His chest pushed out and he said, “TCLW makes me proud.”
Now Rhythm & Blues !! Now Tatt2!! Now Tim Cummings!! Now TGB!!!
On Genocide!! On Seth Knight!! On Pokerface!! On Stan Lee!!
To the dressing room!! To the ring!! To the mat!!
Now hiptoss!! Now bodyslam!! Now rat!!
As the man made himself the center of the show
The fans were chanting “ Go, DK , Go!!”
He yelled at the fans and said go home
I would rather be here all alone!!
He was dressed all in wrestling gear, from his head to his foot
And his gear was all tarnished with vodka and soot
He wore a big crown on top of his head
“I will be the KING!!”, he proclaimed, only when Lawler is dead
His eyes—they were so blurry!! His speech so slurred!
His cheeks were red as cherry!! His vision was blurred!!
His mouth drooled like a sleeping bear
“Do you know who I am?? Do you care??”
The straw of his drink he held tight in his teeth
And smoke encircled his head like a wreath
Standing behind him were J.Weezy and Rockin Randy
J. Weezy is gone; ain’t it a dandy??
He was colored and blond, a right grumpy man
And I laughed when he said he was the best in the land
A wink in his eye, a twist of his head
Matt Foley was scheduled to wrestle again, oh I dread
He sprang out of the ring, to his crew gave a whistle
And away the workers flew behind him like the down of a thistle
But I heard him exclaim, as some young boy drove him out of site
“Merry Christmas to all, and I am Derrick King….DAMMIT!!’
