The front man for the eighties’ Minneapolis-based hardcore band Hüsker Dü, Bob Mould made meaningful, noisy music out of a very punk spirit of “despair meets resignation.” The band ended in 1987, and Mould went on to contain more success with Sugar in the early nineties, and remains on the festival circuit today. More recently he’s also develop a D.J. who throws an itinerant party called Blowoff that appeals to unabashedly manly gay men — bears. He’s just released a memoir, called See a Little Light, which he wrote with journalist Michael Azerrad (Little, Brown & Co., $24.99). In addition to existence a detailed document of punk going mainstream, the book is an unsparing self-examination. Carl Swanson spoke with Mould for a New York Magazine film, but here is the largely unedited transcript of their wide-ranging conversation.
You’ve always been so protective of your privacy. And yet you’re here writing about your ex-boyfriends, drug employ, being molested, your parents — everything.
It’s a liberating feeling.
It is?
I think so, yeah.
You even go assist and explain h James Dixon: Apparently half a dozen tapes chronicling the history of the WWF’s “granddaddy of them all” isn’t enough, so here is yet another offering supposedly detailing the finer aspects of the group’s premier event. In 1998 the WWF went on a spree of releasing very politically motivated tapes, which readily buried anyone seen to have slighted the company in any way (i.e. anyone working for WCW) and being almost dismissive of the past and the people who built the company, with the emphasis firmly placed on the aggrandisement of current stars. This let go features matches and events that we have now covered on multiple occasions, so there really is no necessitate to retread elderly ground. Rather, I intend to glance at how the WWF presented its history in 1998, and discuss some of the glaring omissions and baffling claims. Naturally the least informed guy possible presents this 90-minute revisionist journey through history, in the form of one Michael Cole. Because the WWF is backwards in adorable much everything in does during the Attitude era, we start with the most recent incarnation of the demonstrate , with highlights of WrestleMania XIV position to uplif Last Friday was the 46th birthday of one of my absolute favorite wrestlers, William Regal aka Steve Regal before the WWE instituted its rather bizarre No-More-Steves rule. Not that it matters, his genuine name is Darren Matthews. "Regal" is an amazing bloke, rising to hold more than 60 titles in various promotions from the lowly stance of a carnival wrestler. I was very dismayed when a heart condition derailed a grand uptick in his career in 2004, though he continued sporadic matches up until this year. I highly recommend his book, Walking a Golden Mile because it is wonderful. That said... I will always remember that he had one of the most ridiculous entrance themes in the history of wrestling, and today we celebrate some of the dumbest scores in his name. Happy Birthday, sir.

Steven Regal In the belated '90s WWE tried to play up Regal as a "real man's man" and based their entire image of the on the guy pictured on Brawny paper towels. So here he is creature wacky and lumberjacky over a chant so homoerotic it makes "What What (In the Butt)" glance like a Klan rally. 9. A
I think I'm onto something with this whole Fave Five idea and I can't be arsed waiting for the next WWE release in order to write it - plus I have a feeling that kind of mentality will eventually turn me into a psychopath - so I decided to base my next Fave Five list on one of my favourite past WWE Superstars. Monty Sopp aka Billy Gunn, or Kip James for those who followed him in TNA, was one of the best all around athletes WWE ever had. He was one of those guys that could raise you up for a military press and also leap high into the air for a dropkick among other things. He had multiple Tag Team success but sadly never really got the push he deserved in singles competition. Here's my Fave Five moments/matches from the career of Billy Gunn.
5) Holy Matrimony?
One of the most controversial angles in WWE occurred in 2002 (though that was eventually outdone by the even more infamous Katie Vick angle) when Billy Gunn and Chuck Palumbo morphed from a generic face tandem into a pair of ambiguously homosexual partners complete with bleached blonde hair, shiny red trunks and various other manly gay behaviours, also gaining a manager in the equally flamboyant Rico. The situation was crank
