It's almost time for the wildest, craziest, rockin'-est event the Pacific Northwest area has ever seen, and you had better GET YOUR ASSES IN GEAR! Yes, the 2nd Annual Backyard Bunkhouse BBQ Brawl & Rock n' Wrestling Rager is BACK on Saturday, July 28, 2018, hosted again by NWA World Champions of Rock n' Roll, Stallion! This year, this premiere music and pro wrestling spectacle will be held outside the legendary Randy's Restaurant, located at 10016 E. Marginal Way S in Tukwila, Washington, conveniently close to Seattle's Sea-Tac International Airport, for those attendees jetting in from parts unknown. Randy's is on the Metro Bus #124 line, for those attendees coming from parts known.
If for some totally-crap reason you missed out on last year's inaugural Rager, HOLY MAN, did you MISS OUT! A year later, and people are still buzzing with excitement and amazement. Check out the incredible recap video from Rager 1 NOW!
WOWEE! Not to worry, folks -- everyone is A-OK, and ready to rock on the 28th! I sat down with Stallion's very own "Hollywood" Capponi the other day and asked him WHAT'S WHAT:
Popthomology:OK, give us the deets, "Hollywood!" The
Backyard Bunkhouse BBQ Brawl and Rock n’ Wrestling Rager is back for Year Two! Who's on the bill?
"Hollywood" Capponi: Alright, get your ears lowered down to the ground so you can
understand what "Hollywood" is talkin' about, because this is the straight dope on
what most critics have dubbed "the Mt. Rushmore of rock shows." Here
goes, soup to nuts: Clean Lines, Razor Clam, Jock Tears and your very own NWA World Heavyweight Rock n Roll Champions, STALLION. Most of you ham 'n eggers out
there could never dream of a lineup so great in your miserable lives so I'll
say "you're welcome" in advance! Jock Tears are a buncha jive turkeys if you
ask me but I'll deal with them later...
Pop: For those slow folk that weren’t there last year, can you give them a little summary
about what it’s all about? What’s the vision? What makes the Rager a DO NOT
MISS event?
Capponi: Simply put, last year's Backyard Bunkhouse BBQ Brawl and Rock n
Wrestling Rager was easily the greatest party of all time and there isn't
even a close second. Think I'm lyin'?? Ask anybody who was there. And with your
valiant rock 'n roll champions STALLION defending our title belt this year once
again, you best believe we'll stop at nothing to blow last year clean outta the
water. You better lace them boots up real tight this time around because baby,
the whip is comin' down to the Thrilla in Tukwila and you can take that all the way to the
bank and CASH IT!
Pop: This year, you are in a different
location. Tell us a little about Randy’s!
Capponi: That chump Bezos realized the Rager was so hot with the fans
that it was definitely gonna boot his scrawny ass outta town, so he greased a
few palms down at City Hall and got us banned. We needed to find a spot that
was hot and happening, and also big enough to contain all that wild rock 'n
wrestling action. Randy's was easily at the top of the list. Delicious food,
friendly service and top quality atmosphere. Stallion eats there all the time!
Don't mess with Mel though, he'll rag on your ass real hard if you give him any
guff.
Pop: Any special surprises in store you can
let us in on?
Capponi: I dunno, is it a surprise they STALLION is gonna mop the stage
with those Canadian turkey necks Jock Tears?? I seriously doubt it! Would it be
a surprise if Nikka Feline easily trounces the competition defending her world
title in the million-dollar belching competition?? That wouldn't surprise me! And I'm a pretty
sharp cookie. One thing you can always bank on is when you come to the Rager to
see Stallion tear up the stage you're gonna get the hottest, wildest, most
insane rock 'n wrestling action you could ever imagine because while the rest
are in the back laughin' and jokin', STALLION is up on the stage COOKIN' 'n
SMOKIN' daddaaaaay!!!!
Stallion ain't kidding around when they are telling you to buy your advance tickets!
Here's WHAT'S WHAT! Get your tickets RIGHT THIS MINUTE and see you there on the 28th!!!

I consider it quite an honor that you chose Illinois Jacquet to represent me not that I would compare my playing to his in any way, but Jacquet was a real soul-cat.
Thank you."
