So good, that on 3/3 we do it a third time! Miss last two years events and don’t know how BALLSY it is? STUPID LUCKY YOU; here’s a highlight reel on our super awesome way subscribable youtube page-o-rama to catch you up! Oh yeah, tickets are available on eventbright yester-NOW. EXACTLY!

Both of these FULL EVENTS are available on the 1.99 a month all the Hoodslam all the time Hoodslammery page (linked on our sidebar), which also gives you the live stream of our event’s for like the cost of a bag of chips.  We fuck the fans, but we’re a cheap fuck.

In case you ever wondered if youre welcome at some crazy underground wrestling show…

It dawns on us that not all may be familiar with our annual celebration of femininity, and the reasons behind it. It is no simple answer, but let us do our best to elaborate on the why.

In wrestling, traditions go a long way. Not every tradition, however, should go indefinitely. Any story done right is worth telling, and there are always exceptions, but some old stories are best left in the past.

One tradition that perplexed us was the treatment of women as a lesser, perhaps even a commodity. “If I beat you your girl has to accompany me to the ring for one month” or “when i win against YOU, i get to go on a date with HER”, and so on. Women were important to have, upsetting to lose, but not worth as much as a title belt.

Another that has popped up over the decades and across the world,”Loser Wears A Dress”. How embarrassing it must be to be perceived as feminine. What a loser, to wear the same clothes as half the population.

Brittany Wonder, long time member of the roster and cosplay enthusiast, started to wear a Deadpool inspired attire in 2014. The sight of this “crossplay” triggered something; it occured to a member of our roster that in all of Hoodslams 80s night’s, video game theme’s, cartoon shows, horror shows, etc no male had ever performed as female. In fact, nowhere in wrestling was this a common phenomenon.

Was it fear? Wrestlers are sensitive performer types, but is the same person who dives into tacks afraid of some lace? Are those who bleed for money terrified someone might think they’re pretty? Are they afraid they might be treated how they may have treated our sisters in the locker room?

Maybe its just not for their audience. We think ours can handle it. In fact, every year its been a sold out event, turning hundreds away.

So, noticing that women were half the attendees, noticing that women had as strong characters as men, noticing that different genders might want to attend in womens clothing and they should all feel proud and secure to do so…we put on make up and skirts,  and put on a show.

You might think its because women have been so proud lately. Or, because we live in the lgbt light house that is the bay area of California. Or, you think we’re a funny group who like girls clothing.  None of it is entirely untrue…To us, its just about fairness. Women pay the same  $20 as any man there, and deserve the same respect from their art.

Is this going to be any less of a stoned sweaty loud kinetic whiskey induced beautiful nightmare than any other event? Fuck no, we’ll just spend (way) more time on make up and (way) more money on costumes.

– (We’ve made the event two unique nights this year,2/3 & 2/4 so that nobody will be turned away, and all can join in the fun.)

Its true!  Fridays Femmed Out is just the beginning of our celebration of the female presentation, and Saturday we dive all into glittery pink goodness. Hark, lo, and behold two battles destined for February 3rds Opening Festivity

In a return match of sorts, The Caution will take on NEW Best Athlete in the Eastbay PizzaCat. It shall not, however, be a team battle – as 3/3rds of The Caution would no doubt prefer. Instead, “Link to the Future” Anton Voorhees shall represent his clique, being the most accustom to solo combat.

After winning Fatal Four Way Number One Contendership Match on January 6th, Cereal Man was promised the opportunity to challenge for our fairest of prizes, The Golden Gig.  PONG, our current Holder of The Golden Gig, has accepted, but with a twist: At Femmed Out, both competitors will be Blindfolded!  For though PONG is wrathful, he considers himself just, and trusts the blind hands that guide his fate.

It was a good first Friday for the two Hoodslammers featured in this article.

Cereal Man became the number one contender for Pissed Off Nerdy Gamer’s Golden Gig.

And, after the New U handed The CAUTION (Caution!) their first-ever defeat when all three thirds are in a match, Coach Joey Nuggs and “Brutal” Rob Hands handed the Best Athlete in the East Bay Golden Fannypacks to Pizza Cat (formerly Shotzi Blackheart).

Never underestimate the power of a balanced breakfast. Or, the power of pizza.

#Hoodslam

The official notice has been given…

Ambassador to the Galaxy Drucilla, along with Troof & Conundrum arrived in Hoodslam June 2016 with a simple task – to retrieve the Intergalactic Tag Team Champions. The tag champions HAD traveled to Hoodslam – albeit 5 years ago in late 2011 when they confronted a budding genesplicer named Doc Atrocity and his companion Zombie Vinny Butabi; This would be the untimely demise of the former Intergalactic Tag Team Champions.

Drucilla demanded new champions be crowned, and a tournament was hastily arranged. 10 teams would be put into two groups of 5. The groups battled in Round Robin competition, and whoever could get the most wins within their group would fight the winner of the other group.  The winner of that would be the new Intergalactic Tag Team Champions.

Not many asked questions, and the Top of the SkyDreamers Miracle eXstacy Cup returned: This time Double Chaos Redondo of Blood.  Block A had The Caution, New U, James and Juice Lee, West Side Playas 2099 and winners Ryu and Ken. Block 1 had Doc Atrocity and Brittany Wonder, The Knights of the Roxbury, Aliens Troof and Conundrum, The Stoner Brothers and winners El Chupacabra and Virgil Flynn III.

El Chupacabra and Virgil Flynn III would win the entire tournament and claim the vacant championship, but only now could the real battle begin.

It was revealed that the tournament- and more specifically the Champions – had a purpose. Ambassador Drucilla explained that the Champions, and generations of champions before that, stood as a last defense against an ancient destroyer – The Walking Phoenix.

The Walking Phoenix: immortal, immune to weaponry, immune to persuasion, capable of controlling minds and matter. A moving doomsday device, neither good nor evil, driven by consumption.  Unfathomable, it’s trajectory pointed to Earth.  And so, for the first time ever, the chosen guardians of our reality will face their destiny, and global damnation in The Walking Phoenix.

What began as a tournament may have instead been a going away party.

January 6th, Hoodslam “FIN”
