My Uncle Kenny (known to the general public as Wahoo), my sister Megan and I all battled each other in the squared circle in a childhood dream come true. Let me tell you that wrestling in those suits is not easy, just look at the video above and watch me barely navigate my surroundings. I look like a giant alien baby learning to walk for the first time and failing horribly- and I loved every minute of it.
Megan was an old pro in the ring and she showed some serious toughness by wrestling in four different matches! I nearly died after one. Hopefully we can have another showdown the next time KBB has a show back here on the East Coast. We'll probably end up suplexing our cousins for a follow up.
Monster sized thanks go out to Rand Borden, creator and mastermind behind KBB, for allowing multiple members of the Doughty clan anywhere near that event. I've been wanting to clothesline my Uncle Kenny since I was child and it was everything I hoped it would be. Cousin Eric, you are next.
You mean it was actually YOU in the suit at some point?? Matt, dude... you are a man who is utterly dedicated to his craft!
ReplyDeleteyeah.. I didn't realize you'd actually be the one suiting up and jumping around that ring... but then when you think about it, who else could truly embody the interdimensional cosmic hero pheyden better than the man who thought him up...
ReplyDeleteseems to me like it might be time for a standard pheyden mark IV (or is it V?) and some light blue axis joints...
that was just distilled awesomeness
O_O!!! That was freaking cool Matt! I also wasn't sure if you were going to wear that suit or not, sounds like it was a fun time though. Maybe one day I can dress up like a Canne'boid and enter the ring against you LoL. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI think you just broke the insanity meter, Matt. LOL. Pheyden in KBB is shocking enough. Putting YOU in the suit never would have crossed my mind in a million years. But that isn't enough, eh? You have to add that your uncle and sister joined you--and SHE is an experienced fighter?!? LOL! Good stuff, sir. Good stuff.
ReplyDelete@JediCreeper: Seconded! I'd love a real Axis build Pheyden!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like one heck of a time. I hope I can make it to a KBB one day just because they look so darn fun!
ReplyDeleteA package is on the way! This is the fastest ever, you all rock!
