Following Lucha

We stray from our lore keeping journey on Following Lucha this week by watching and analyzing the ENTIRE series of WWE’s Slam City, that little animation with their stretchy little rumbler action figures.

From Mysterio serially killing truck drivers across Slam City, to Kane finding his life calling as a lunch lady, to Randy Orton potentially having romantic relations with a gorilla, to Santino Marella ending up homeless, Slam City really sucked! We also talk wrestling in the week of March 16, 2014, as Brad Maddox is the host of Monday Night Raw, The Ultimate Warrior is (very) good friends with Linda McMahon, Daniel Bryan leads the Yes Movement hijack of Raw, CM Punk appears on the Talking Dead, and the world prepares for the release of Scooby Doo: Wrestlemania Mystery.
