132 The Sad News Show: January 16, 2009

WCR Recap
The Sad News Show
"the saddest darkest WrestleCrap Radio ever"
66 minutes
by Premier Blah

The show begins with Sad News; the passing of beloved actor Ricardo Montalban, him of Khan Noonien Singh and Fantasy (Booking) Island. RD suggests not listening to this week's depressing episode and is nostalgic for the good old days of the Tee Hee Tickle Party. (:03) Blade was at a strip club but Don Mason wasn't, so more Sad Music is played. (:05) RD gets through his sponsors in (monotone) record time as Blade stifles his 'laughter'. In a much more serious and darker note, Blade is not doing good either with his incurred debts and his mother sadly passing away before Christmas, and to alleviate his situation he is auctioning some of his stuff online, which includes some Katie Vick props (which can be found on his eBay user name Hobo Auctions).

RD's TRIP to the Actually it's just more Sad News. (:12) RD turned 40 and is probably feeling the first effects of a mid-life crisis, which he found from his celebrations which involved him driving an hour to a Denny's-like restaurant. Blade tells a Don Mason story about urinals and drunk Don urinating on a (crippled) wheelchair man.

Obscure/Sad News (:23): WWE cut 90% of their staff and 85% of their roster which included Val Venis/Sean Morley, Sgt. Slaughter, D-Lo Brown (RD likens him to Nathaniel), and Ron Simmons. Blade does a bad Butch Reed impression. A WrestleCrap Goth Carnival is mentioned, but sadly nothing about kicking a leather-clad white face-painted Vincent in the balls. Dr. Death Steve Williams is now working for Southwest (:33). Angry Jim Ross calls to discuss it. He also sings Happy Birthday to RD, and is rewarded by being angered off the air when RD learns how he treats the hard working Doc.

Question of the Week, the "only happy thing this week" (:40) asks what other career opportunities Mickie James would have if she left WWE. Speaking of Mickie James...the HorseTrolla also has Sad News (:46) - she was in a car accident but thankfully survived. Thus we have an answer to a Question (for once!); her post-career can be that of a crash test dummy.

The MegaTrollaTron 7800, didn't watch TNA again this week, he was also too depressed while looking for the Allspark. Sure enough, more Sad News.

Current News finally has music (seemingly taken from ExtremeMusic.com) (:55). That's the segment's only good news though as we get - you guessed it - more Sad News. The Duo's favorite pizza-making Diva Victoria is fully retiring from wrestling. The Co-Hosts reminisce of her baby kissing days. There's more Sad News as Cousin Junior has passed away. (:61)

Seventeen Syllables:
Dark day in Mud Lick.
Cousin Junior is now gone.
Tears in my moonshine.

[I wonder though. If this week was so depressing why didn't they just skip recording for this week and pick it up again next week like they did a few times before? Hmmm, quite odd...]

[Schadenfreude. I think it's the reason I like WrestleCrap in the first place. Also, during the HonkTrolla episode, "RD suggests having a sad news special edition of WCRadio in the future." --Farmer Iggy]
