Army Of Darkness 4 Life
 
Yes, yes I do.

I admit to being a Kevin Sullivan Army Of Darkness mark. I never was able to watch Florida Championship Wrestling in the 1980s anywhere on TV out here. I heard what Sullivan was up to in Florida so I followed reading the wrestling magazines. There’d be some great and bizarre pics that drew my attention too,

Hey Jack, I know you are a Jim Crockett/Mid-Atlantic/Georgia fan. Did you watch FCW on TV in the 1980s?

I think we agree that was a really magical time to be a wrestling fan. Today with Corporate WWE and the internet it’s just not as fun anymore.

Speaking of WWE, I was so pissed at the McMahons appearing in the ring on RAW to save the day as they shamelessly throw fictional character Darin Corbin under the bus blaming him for the months of boredom. It’s Vince’s fault dammit!

Never had the cable feed for Florida Chapionship Wrestling, but we could get Georgia, Mid-South and of course Mid-Atlantic. Then the whole WWF mergers just kinda consolidated everything for us.
My dad took me to a television taping at the old TBS studios in Atlanta and we saw Gregg “ The Hammer” Valentine and “Rowdy” Roddy Piper.

Good times.
 
As a California boy I was always more of a NWA guy than WWF. During the last days of Jim Crockett Promotions when they bought out Bill Watts and overexpanded I was able to catch a few shows at The Forum. I’m grateful I was able to see those. I saw Dusty, Flair, Road Warriors, Koloffs, Rock ‘n’ Roll Express, Midnight Express, Paul Jones’ Army, Jimmy Valiant. Memories I will have forever.

"Gordon Solie... I have walked the back streets of Singapore, and laid with
the Maiden of One Eye on the sands of the Uncharted Quarter... I have chewed
the Betel Nut, and the Chairman of the Board has sent the Purple Haze from the
depths to pass to me the golden spike, so I can purify the heart of Virgil Runnels...
I've spent 40 days and 40 nights tied to the tree of woe, fasted and committed by
soul to Abudadein, and communed with the Reverend Mr. Black and his unholy committee
in the Black Church of the Frozen Smile, and I have found the darkness of the unholy
hidden second bar of the cross whilst visiting with fakirs and mystics in Rangipoor...
Dusty Rhodes, Mulligan, the Windhams... Nivek Navillus has seen the lies in your hearts
and in your souls, and will cut them out for all to see."

"Maha Kali, dark mother dance for me
Let the purity of your nakedness awaken me
Yours are the fires of deliverance which shall bring me bliss
Yours is the cruel sword which shall set my spirit free

Devourer of life and death who rule beyond time
In thy name I shall fulfil my destiny divine
Maha Kali, formless one, destroyer of illusion
Your songs forever sung, the tunes of dissolution

Kalika, black tongue of fire, embrace me
Make me one with your power for all eternity
Awaken within me the reflection of your flame
Kiss me with your bloody lips and drive me insane

Jai Kalika! Jai Kali!
Make me one with your power for all eternity
Maha Kali come to me

Smashana Kali, I burn myself for thee
I cut my own throat in obscene ecstasy
I make love to abominations, embrace pain and misery
Until my heart becomes the burning ground and Kali comes to me

O dark mother, hear me calling thee
Mahapralaya, bring to me
Through all illusions I shall see
I shall cremate this world and set my essence free

Jai Kalika! Jai Kali!
Without fear I will dance with death and misery
Maha Kali, come to me

O Kali, thou art fond of cremation grounds
So I have turned my heart into one, that thou
May dance there unceasingly.
O mother, I have no other fond desire in my
Heart. Fire of a funeral pyre is burning there.�

Jai Maha Kali, Jai Ma Kalika
Jai Maha Kali, Jai Ma Kalika
Kali Mata, namo nama
Kali Mata, namo nama

Jai Kalika! Jai Kali!
At your left hand for endless victory
Maha Kali, come to me

Jai Kalika! Jai Kali!
Mahapralaya will set our spirits free
Maha Kali, come to me"
