On the Beat with RD Reynolds of Wrestle Crap at Days of the Dead 2013

Oh sure, wrestling fans have complained for years about about crappy storylines.  Did anyone like the Lance Von Erich story?  How about the Yeti?  Of course, the Shock Master is legendary crap.
Yes, a lot of fans complained, joked and mocked those moments in wrestling, however only the guys at Wrestle Crap actually have done something about it.  RD Reynolds co-created Wrestle Crap with the late Merle Vincent.  Wrestle Crap is now run by Reynolds, Blade Braxton and Justin Henry.
There is a Wrestle Crap website.  There have been three books.  There was a podcast (please revive it).  There are still appearances (like at the recent Days of the Dead).  There is the RD and Blade Show.
All of these celebrate wrestling's lowlights.  The KISS demon.  Dink, Wink and Pink.  Claire Lynch.  David Arquette.  Al Wilson.  Katie Vick.  Hornswoggle.  The homeless Mick Foley story.  The Zodiac.  Mae Young's "hand" birth.  Do you want more?
If so, head over to the Wrestle Crap sitte and you will get more.  Much, much more.  Seriously, Wrestle Crap is full of a ton of crappy goodness.
I caught up with RD at Days of the Dead and got the update on what was new in the world of Wrestle Crap.  I also made a plea to have Johngy gain entry into Wrestle Crap.  Come on, RD, I have seen enough first hand.  Of course, you can also go the other way and include Johngy based on the ever present Johngy shirts at various indy wrestling events.  Can I bribe you with a JohngysBeat.com shirt?  Surely that is crap worthy.
Check out WrestleCrap.com for some excellent, crappy wrestling stuff.  You can also find RD Reynolds on Facebook and WrestleCrap on Facebook, along with WrestleCrap on twitter.

On the Beat with R.d. Reynolds of WrestleCrap at Days of the Dead

The beauty of WrestleCrap is that my friends and I could have done the same thing, but we didn't.  WrestleCrap is everything you think and want to say about the "fun" bad of wrestling put together a funny, interesting way.
We all groaned at Terry Taylor as the Red Rooster, but WrestleCrap immortalized it.  The same can be said for Dale Torborg as the Demon, Kiss-endorsed and Kiss look-alike wrestler.  The list goes on and on, which pretty much ensures that WrestleCrap can go on and on.
R.d. Reynolds is one of the creative geniuses behind WrestleCrap.  Meeting him at Days of the Dead was indeed a thrill.  I have a certain appreciation for the crappier side of wrestling.  Why not?  It's all fun, especially the way that WrestleCrap features it.  Aside from the site, there are three books and several dvd's full of WrestleCrap.
I talked to Reynolds about the origin of WrestleCrap, obscure WrestleCrap and current WrestleCrap.  If the idea I am pitching to local indy organizations ever catches on, maybe one day I will be featured on WrestleCrap.  Dare I dream?!
After you watch the interview, check out WrestleCrap.com and prepare to spend plenty of time enjoying the crappier side of wrestling.  You can also go to the R.d. Reynolds Facebook page for more info and updates.
