It would take a man much more Shakespearean than me to describe Wrestling Team in all it's sublime beauty. A diamond refracting the light into tinier diamonds which in turn grant those viewing the light display a modicum of self-worth for a moment or a bowl of dust that putrefies and corrupts any who touch it, leaving it its wake misery and sadness, the likes which haven't been seen since God first cast us out of the Garden and into the World. And where does Wrestling Team's story begin but with the wish of Metatron, God's Lt. Riker, who loudly whispered aloud for Adonai to create the perfect essence of comedy in human form so that our suffering and misery on this plane may be lessened some by their vaudevillian antics. And thus out of cat recti, pez, ants, and peasants did The Lord Saviour create our humble comedy duo.
And if one were to go to the Creation Science museum in Shitesville, KY, one would see the numerous exhibits dedicated to us, the very first comedy duo. After the flood, the same one that made the Grand Canyon in a matter of hours and that also probably killed the dinosaurs - you know, the dinosaurs that lived side by side with humans, despite that being only something that happened in bad fantasy novels and The Flintstones - but anyway, after the flood, it was promised to Noah and also to the rest of us (apparently, comedians are counted as chattel and we were stuck between the grotoks (extinct) and the bearded-uteruses (also, extinct)), so it was promised to all of us, all of us combined, that we and our descendants could become the laziest people on earth and through our actions allows armageddon to creep in like a sneaky lookyloo. And to this day, the people on earth stabbed a goat in the neck and used the blood to call upon Kandir, the ancient ghost of Finland. And guess who the CEO and president of Kandir is? Wrestling Team, you jerk-offs. Wrestling Team.
These days Wrestling Team is embroiled in a number of projects. They are working on writing and getting funded the third episode of their independent TV show Wrestling Team which will be filmed in August. In addition, they are working with well-known Pittsburgh artist Beano to create a Vun Kleinlin and Thalia comic and are trying to get a series of Vun K internet shorts off the ground. They also recorded some tracks which very well could end up on the third Unicorn Mountain CD. Also, there are the usual schenanigans with the WT website and video podcast. In the future there are plans to play NYC more often, record their comedy album Fan Fiction, write the movie script they've been talking about for a long time, as well as other things I don't have the patience to bother listing. And as usual, the first two DVDs are available off of the website below.
For our third episode "Charcoal, Bonemeal, Bergman", we've assembled a production team that includes many of Pittsburgh's best and most interesting visual and musical artists. Thanks to their help, episode three will rip off your feet and deposit them in a sinkhole. We're filming it right now, and crap is tighter than a precarious situation. See some of the production team and actors in the episode below in the top whatevers!
