Forget Stone Cold vs. The Rock. Forget Mike Tyson vs. an ’82 Buick.
The real match of the century took place at our very own campus Nov. 9, when it was Jonathan Tony “De Anza” Bautista vs. Mark “Mark McMahon” Jaramilla vs … Kurt Angle? Angle was actually Robert “Butch” Haugh, a La Voz reporter, with a fake gold medal and a blue Adidas sweat suit. The event was put on by the Wrestling Appreciation Club and called WAC Revenge 2K.
Before the match, it was announced that the WAC received money and would be getting a ring, which means when they won’t have to fall off a ladder onto a really hard concrete floor.
The match was pretty good, despite the lack of a ring. It started off as a singles match between Tony DeAnza and Kurt Angle. Or “Mini-Kurt.” Mini-Kurt took the early advantage in the match, hitting DeAnza with punches, kicks, a lunch tray. At this point in the match it looked like Mini-Kurt had hit his opponent with everything but a small child. Thankfully, none were visible in the crowd.
After the match, Robert Haugh got on the mike and reminded everyone that the whole thing was scripted, it was a show, that he really didn’t hate the school, which he had said while cutting a promo before the match.
For those of you who do not watch wrestling for some insane reason or the other, cutting a promo is talking on the microphone to the audience or your opponent, either to get the audiences approval or to make your opponent mad.
Another WAC event, Turkey Terror 2K, was scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 21, but was cancelled due to rain. The members put on a small demonstration, which mostly consisted of hitting each other with trays and practicing elbow drops from the top of a ladder.
There may be another WAC event sometime before the end of the quarter, which hopefully means the return of Mini-Kurt. I have another idea: Mini-Dudleys who put random faculty members through tables.
