A clip from episode 526 of My Brother, My Brother, and Me. This audio comes from the podcast My Brother, My Brother, and Me and belongs to the McElroy brothers.
Okay, okay, okay, but like they're actually onto something with the whole "why would they get in the ring? What if they need it for their magic?" Like, the ring is the spell circle guys, they need to be in the ring to fuel their magic incantations!
Why not all wizards? Pros: no need to change the name. WWE World Wizarding Entertainment, balanced fights since everyone is a wizard, more cool magic spells, lots of different types of wizards. Cons: None.
Y'know, as an aside, I think the brothers have a pretty damn good idea here with this idea of an indie wrestling league where everyone has powers, and they're done with like... both practical and, if possible, digital special effects? Like a combination? People with fire powers, ice powers, etc.
Oh, as soon as they started talking about it, I started thinking about it. I would love to see something like WWE, but it's more like Dragon Ball Z and they use special and practical effects to like, shoot magic spells or balls of energy, maybe fly around the stage, hit each other with chairs, whatever. Maybe just like a wide, oddball cast of wrestlers, each of them with a theme and signature special ability that is insanely over the top. Let's get something like "Mutant League Wrestling" going.
From everything I've heard about Vince "Human Garbage" McMahon, if you can convince him there's literally 3 dollar's worth of profit in there being Wizard wrestlers, he would Hogwarts half the roster.
Oh my GOD, I've known of this man since I was a literal child and I JUST NOW realized -- from reading a years-old RU-vid comment!! -- that his name is a pun.
Yeah, totally been done. Wrestling is pretty much like rule 34. Kevin Nash played Oz, PLUS he had Kevin Sullivan with him as a bonus wizard sidekick. Sullivan also had a monkey sidekick of his own. If you aren't familiar with this brief era, it really is amazing. Plus there was a dude named Phantasmo or something who was definitely a magician, which is kinda like wizard. And yes, like many other commenters mentioned, Undertaker and his bro Kane for sure had some necromantic moments. There were also a few vampires for a little while I think, and at least one Giant, Giant Gonzalez, and Yetayyy, which is at least supernatural.
wasn't there a guy who had like voodoo powers named Papa Shango too? definitely on the wizardly spectrum. I remember he'd come out rattling a bunch of bones and freaking people out. also, necromantic moments is an amazing phrase lmao
@@waterdaughter good one, Papa Shango put a curse on the ultimate warrior that made him cough up black goo. Wrestling has jumped the shark so many times, it's commonplace
@@Blattella Forgot that. Even so, knowing two spells does not make you a wizard. He could be an eldritch knight fighter, or maybe he can just use spell scrolls (idk if non wizards can use scrolls).
