In the lead-up to WrestleMania 35 at the start of April, the WWE Network’s March Hidden Gem releases were all about past WrestleMania lead-up shows, as well as the talents being inducted into the Hall of Fame the weekend of WrestleMania 35.
There was also one other one that is one of the craziest Hidden Gems WWE has ever released, and we start with it here.
The Battle of Breakfast Cereal (AWA 5/1/89)
One of my favorite weird wrestling things ever.
In a brilliant glitch of late-80s wonder, a booming cereal corporation hired a struggling wrestling organization to put on a wrestling show as entertainment for what appears to be their yearly Sales Kickoff. And WWE has tape of it.
There’s no good wrestling here. This isn’t even a wrestling show. If anything it’s a glimpse into the culture of sales and marketing within corporations, exemplified with even more black-and-white archetypes when done through the delivery device of a professional wrestling show. There are longform promos on the evil competition from guys like the VP of Marketing, as well as the stereotypical obnoxious Sales Director who feels it is his life duty to get his employees – no, team – no, FAMILY – hyped the fuck up about cereal sales.
I should mention that, naturally, the crowd is entirely comprised of Kellogg’s employees hooting and hollering because A) they’re at a wrestling show and B) they are in relentless competition with their corporate peers and must go wild for this silly stuff because it wouldn’t be good for morale if they didn’t.
The evening’s entertainment is comprised of four matches, each pitting the Grapplers from Kellogg’s vs. The Tough Guys from General Mills. Kellogg’s are unsurprisingly your babyfaces, as Dave in Marketing and Sue in Sales have no time for shades of gray in this weird show they have found themselves at.
To re-enforce that, there are literally signs above each entrance area that say GOOD GUYS and BAD GUYS.
The judges for the matches, who never really rule on anything, are Sales Directors from different regions. They all get raucous cheers from their peers and underlings.
Larry Nelson intros the show and does commentary over a loud speaker, so some of his one-liners get laughs. All the wrestlers and matches are introduced first, and it’s a trip. Not familiar with later-80s AWA, I found myself unable to recognize over half of these guys, who are introduced under new gimmick names, like Mike Enos in a robe as The Bad Boy of Breakfast Cereals, Total the Table.
Every match has got a gimmick name, like Melee in Minneapolis and The Rile in the Aisle, and either Dave in Marketing brainstormed that bullshit on a half-hour conference call he showed up five minutes late for or AWA creative really mailed this sucker in.
The tone is either perfectly set or turned upside down when Sheik Adnan Al-Kaissie enters and ELBOW DROPS a cereal box, while a minute later the dynamic duo of Sales and Marketing, the “S&M Team” is introduced, and we’re in the Twilight Zone.
Before the wrestling begins, the first of Kellog’s Keynote Speakers disguised as professional wrestling promos begins. IT’S INSANE. Scott Richards, VP of Sales and Something or Another, enters the squared circle with a mic in hand with one mission: to hype up his troops. And by troops I mean, the theme that Kellogg’s went with this year to motivate their team was the ARMY. So lots of references to Kellogg’s, the cereal people, being at war. “If you’re gonna fight me, you’re gonna fight us – because we’re a team!”
Scott also reads jokes off a piece of paper, including this zinger: “Why are we at the Hyatt? Well, we tried to book the lobby of the General Mills Headquarters, but it was too cheap – we’re used to being better places than that!” HOOOOOOOO!!!
Once actual cereal boxes are introduced into the picture, Scott just loses it. He seems to have literal contempt for a box of Raisin Bran. “You wanna sell this product?” he asks rhetorically, smirking as he holds up a box of Cheerio’s before he whips it over the top rope. “How about Nut and Honey Crunch?” he asks to an earth-shattering pop, unaware that this very cereal would be discontinued only a few years later.
Richards ends his promo by getting his soldiers to chant, “We’re mad as hell, and we’re not gonna take it anymore!”
The Melee in Minneapolis between Nutra Rockne and Total the Terrible is a few minutes of hiptosses, dropkicks, and bodyslams. Maybe a little cowering by Enos. Just a bit. A shitty splash wins it for the good guys. Larry Nelson is the real MVP, popping the crowd by informing them that, “Nutra Rockne, ladies and gentleman, is energized by the vitamins and minerals in Nutra Grade cereal!”
Match #2 – Hondo the Honeybee (Wayne Bloom) vs. Mr. OAT-portunity (Derrick Dukes) is an unremarkable match that is highlighted only by Bloom screaming, “We’re more nutritious!” and the finish where Hondo hits Mr. Oat-portunity with a box of cereal, which Mr. Oat NO-SELLS and makes a comeback on.
The VP of Marketing Tim Mosby has his own bit next in a weird darkened room off to the side, made all the more ominous by his British accent. “It’s time to fight fire with fire. This is WAR!” he exclaims to roars of approval. And then he pulls some shit with this quote that serves as one part BS high-level marketing strategy and one part shot on the boys in the back they’ve hired to entertain them: “Tactical brands will only be one part of our surprise war. Our overall plans will get a shake-up too. Frankly, in the past, our programs have been as predictable as the outcome as one of these… joke wrestling matches.” What a dick!
Dr. K, played by Wahoo McDaniel vs. The General, played by Sheik Adnan Al-Kaissie, is two old guys doing their thing in a place I’m not sure they ever figured they’d end up in. “One thing I can tell you about Dr. K, this man seeks pride in giving out free samples of AGONY, ladies and gentleman,” crows Nelson. Ref Gary Derusha takes a bump, Al-Kaissie uses a foreign object, and then Team S&M (kind of) double dropkick him to setup the Wahoo win.
The EVP of Sales & Marketing cuts a promo on The General and says he should be demoted to Private Mills. He runs through the Corporate Strategy Greatest Hits: we’re not changing our strategy – we’re simply being more tactical than we have been, being fastest to market, making sure we’re building our market and business, beating the competition, and we must do it in a way that recognizes we have competition and will do it better than them. Oh and they’ve invested $60M to make sure they stay on top and keep pushing. I guess that’s always the kicker.
The S&M Team of Greg Gagne & Tom Zank close the show opposite The Mills Brothers, played by BADD COMPANY and it is very crappy. Larry Nelson reminds the viewer that Kellog’s won every match and I don’t know what else to tell ya.
I am glad I watched this but I am sad it exists. Highly Recommended
March to WrestleMania IX (WWF 3/28/93)
“If John Belushi was still alive, he’d love this – the world’s largest toga party!”
The March to WrestleMania was a deal the WWF did for a few years in the mid-90s before RAW really took off as the show that could properly take things home. The first one was done in 1992 and aired a week before WrestleMania XIII as a special episode of Prime Time Wrestling. The second one was taped on March 7 and aired the Sunday before WrestleMania IX on April 4.
Obviously this was a weird time for the WWF, coming down from the peak Hulkamania years and engulfed in a legal battle with the Federal Government. They were also heading into what is generally considered one of the worst WrestleMania’s of all time. Hogan was on his way out but still hogging the spotlight, Ultimate Warrior was gone, Brutus Beefcake was getting a push, Randy Savage wasn’t wrestling for some reason, The Undertaker was heading into a match with the very tall but very bad Giant Gonzalez, and Lex Luger was about to get a weird push as the heir apparent to Hogan. Meanwhile the guys who comprised The Kliq were either already or about to round out the upper midcard.
This show, highlighted by Randy Savage vs. Yokozuna, is mainly squashes from WrestleMania’s featured performers and some big time go-home promos from the ashes of late-80s and early 90s WWF promo insanity, including what ends up an insane rant from Hogan, Brutus and Jimmy Hart for almost 10 minutes.
The show opens with footage from the Yokozuna/Bret Hart WWF Title contract signing, a result of Yokozuna winning the Royal Rumble. At a time when the contract signing brawl wasn’t a complete cliche, a girl screams as Yoko wrecks Bret. Bret getting to his feet is hard sold by Gorilla and Heenan, and we then cut to host Vince McMahon who is in extra cheesy hard sell mode, in front of blatantly fake crowd green screen and screaming one-liners en route to an all-time bad Mania. Heenan is with him on commentary.
1. Randy Savage vs. Yokozuna w/ Mr. Fuji: This is very much a nothing-happens type of TV match, but at the same time Savage selling for and reacting to Yokozuna is so good. Plus Savage fakes a right hand early and the look Yoko gives him, just barely a cocked eyebrow, is special. When Savage moves out of the way of a splash in the corner after taking some offense, the crowd freakout is astounding. He gets Yoko down with an axe handle from the top, then goes for another but Fuji knocks him off with a flagpole and Yoko hits a belly-to-belly for 3. Yoko attacks but misses a Banzai drop and Savage knocks him outside. ***
2. Mr. Perfect vs. Skinner: Babyface Perfect en route to heel Lex Luger in the spring of 1994 is a strange thing. There’s not much here – Skinner goes on offense, takes a bump, and gets caught with a PerfectPlex. Bobby Heenan sums it up: “Come on, Skinner. SKIN EM!” *1/2
3. Kamala w/ Reverend Slick vs. Kim Chee: Kamala was scheduled to wrestle Bam Bam Bigelow at Mania, but it was cut due to time constraints, and that sucks because if anything that collision of freak shows might’ve brought the show up a bit. Honestly, I had no idea of the babyface Slick and Kamala run. Chee, who might be Brooklyn Brawler, goes right after Kamala with offense and Kamala is INTIMIDATED by his old handler, which is brilliant. That they keep it up and he’s played as more a George Steele dummy than a killer is a disappointment though. He wins in 60 seconds anyways. *
Another highlight of this show, outside of Vince yelling and Savage selling for Yoko and Heenan on commentary and Kamala being scared of Kim Chee, is the WRESTLEMANIA IX MUSIC VIDEO! It includes some truly insane Big Bossman and Nasty Boys promos, and a tune that will stay with you for at least three days: aOHHH-OHH-OH, OHHH-OHH-OH, WRESTLEMANIA! Pump it up, pump it up! 1993, man.
They precede a Money Inc. squash with footage of Hogan’s last real storyline and angles in the WWF opposite them, beyond the brief stuff with Yoko. The Hulkster is clearly off multiple cycles of steroids, while Brutus’ face all broken up from his parasailing accident.
4. Money Inc. (Ted DiBiase & IRS) vs. Jerry Sabin & Reno Riggins: It’s Reno, who kind of had a run in WCW! Heenan says DiBiase’s hot at President Clinton because of the raise in taxes. This is a squash match. *
The Mega-Maniacs of Hulk Hogan, Brutus Beefcake, and I guess Jimmy Hart join the show for an interview and they cut to a very possibly staged girl freaking out for Hogan. What follows is what I can only describe as an insane Hulk Hogan promo on Brutus’ face injury, then Brutus doing an insane promo where he tries to do his best Hogan impression and it doesn’t work, and then Jimmy Hart going on his own god damn rant. The thing lasts nearly 10 damn minutes. It is not good at all and yet as an artifact that makes up the fabric of professional wrestling, I am glad it is here.
5. Tatanka vs. George South: This is the journeymen’s journeyman George South giving Tatanka a very solid enhancement match that kept moving. *3/4
6. The Beverly Brothers & Little Louie vs. The Bushwhackers & Tiger Jackson: This is a buncha midget BS that feels beyond outdated, especially with Vince laughing along. For some reason it’s the longest match on the show too. DUD
7. The Undertaker w/ Paul Bearer vs. Bam Bam Bigelow: Taker gets a HUGE pop and these two have themselves a fine 5-minute match that I would’ve loved to see in a bigger stage. The crowd’s buzzing for the whole thing as Taker is in babyface ass-kicker mode against a very game opposition, both in dishing punishment but also bumping around. **
I’m not sure if you should “watch this”, but after all that stuff I mentioned before the music video, there was an all-time crazy Mega-Maniacs promo and a sweet Undertaker vs. Bam Bam Bigelow match. It’s Recommended.
March to WrestleMania X (WWF 3/13/94)
The March to WrestleMania concept ended with WrestleMania X, which again again a week prior to the big show, and re-aired in an hour format in place of RAW the next night. En route to MSG with Yokozuna defending his WWF Championship against both Lex Luger and Bret Hart, a Bret Hart vs. Owen Hart match, and Shawn Michaels vs. Razor Ramon in a Ladder Match, a few matches were filmed on February 21 in Poughkeepsie, NY ahead of a RAW taping, while others were filmed on the 23rd in Loch Sheldrake, NY as a part of a Superstars taping. Gorilla Monsoon and Stan Lane did commentary for Poughkeepsie, while Vince and Johnny Polo handled duties for Loch Sheldrake.
Vince is in full-on yelling mode. Stan Lane’s jaw is incredible. Macho Man Randy Savage is banned from the arena but Vince managed to get a pre-taped interview with him. Outside of squashes for guys featured at Mania, we’ve got another epic promo (this one from Savage) and random Tag Team Title and IC Title defenses with enhancement talent that went onto became names in ECW. HERE WE GO!!!
1. Lex Luger vs. Jimmy del Ray w/ Jim Cornette and Tom Prichard: This is a TREMENDOUS bullshit match, where Cornette and Prichard on the outside stack the odds against Luger so schlubby Del Ray gets some offense and the crowd buys into everything. Luger remains an awkward babyface, but Del Ray takes a massive back body drop and Prichard gets knocked down and the steel plate lariat and torture rack are OVER. Corny tries a sneak attack with a tennis racket post-match but Luger grabs it and… hits him on the butt with it. **3/4
2. Bam Bam Bigelow w/ Luna Vachon vs. Ben Jordan: A simple Bam Bam vertical suplex setup prompts Gorilla to say, “Suplex City is coming up!” Good guy Ben Jordan just launches himself at Bam Bam, then gets WRECKED with a flapjack on the ropes. Good wrestling. **
They show an Alundra Blayze video package to build up her match with Leilani Kai, and has it ever been addressed how interesting it is that Kai, who was in the Women’s Title match at The War To Settle the Score and the first WrestleMania and had vague Rock n’ Wrestling era fame, returned for the 10th Mania?
3. WWF Intercontinental Title: Razor Ramon [c] vs. Tony DeVito: Razor is a total boss here and just treats DeVito like a punk, giving him like two shots. Always liked the bit before the match where Razor would give explicit instructions to the ring attendant about his gear and jewelry. *1/4
Owen Hart does a great interview with Johnny Polo on brother Bret, while Little Richard does a little promo on WrestleMania.
4. Earthquake vs. The Executioner: A pretty straightforward squash, but I’ve got a soft spot for babyface Earthquake. This match goes longer than his Mania match. *1/2
Todd Pettingill running down the celebrity cast for WrestleMania just feels sad, though I’ll admit that when I was 7-years-old in 1994 that the crop of folks they got felt vaguely impressive. Burt Reynolds and Kelly from 90210 are there, but you’ve also got like Ronda Shear (“one of, uh… Larry King’s old flames” says Todd), and the promise from Todd that anybody who’s anyone in Hollywood will be there followed by names like Donnie Wahlberg and Sy Sperling. It all feels questionable.
Johnny Polo also interviews Bret, who gives this great line: “You know why I wear this jacket? Cause I’m the ring general, that’s what I am. I’m the excellence of execution.” Polo having his little moment at this point is so funny considering he’d be Raven less than a year later. He’s all over this show, doing these interviews and annoying Vince on commentary. “Look at that mark – hey, kid – go to a dentist!”
5. Bret Hart vs. Crush w/ Mr. Fuji: This match goes like 15 minutes and it’s rock solid, with the crowd amped and buzzing pretty much the whole time. Crush shows power, falls outside, then finds an opening and works over The Hitman. He doesn’t do much that’s pretty but it all feels right being sold by Bret. Plus he does throw a very pretty savate kick at one point. The finish sees Crush hit Fuji by mistake, Bret do an inside cradle, Owen run out and push the cradle over, and CRUSH getting a win over Bret! ***
Ronda Shear does her WrestleMania promo bit and it appears that she wants to fuck Lex Luger.
6. WWF World Tag Team Title: The Quebeccers (Jacques & Pierre) [c] vs. Mike Bell & PJ Walker: Captain Lou Albano is at ringside, scouting The Quebeccers for an upcoming feud with the rebooted Headshrinkers. Jacques and Pierre have a more entertaining than usual squash against the future Justin Credible and infamous enhancement guy Mike Bell. **
If there’s anything that’s must-see on this show, it’s a fascinating sit-down Randy Savage interview with Vince McMahon. It’s partially building up Savage’s match with Crush at WrestleMania, but it also appears that they both know Savage will be on his way out soon and ends up a weird reflection of their relationship at the time. He actually mentions on-screen the divorce with Elizabeth, and stares into Vince’s eyes right before he leaves: “I’ve had ups and downs, don’t worry about it, I’ll get over it… everything’s cool – I’ll be back … Everything’s cool, brother.”
7. Tatanka vs. Yokozuna w/ Jim Cornette and Mr. Fuji: This match is Tatanka’s revenge for an attack by Yokozuna referenced at the Survivor Series Showdown 1993, covered in Network Reflections – Hidden Gems (November 2018). That attack not only took place right after the end of Tatanka’s undefeated streak at the hands of Ludvig Borga, but it took Tatanka out of Survivor Series and action as a whole. The crowd is HOT for him as Yoko does some serious favors and bumps all around for this man seeking vengeance. Yoko bumps beautifully off a turnbuckle shot and they get a near fall out of it, while a big Tomahawk chop from the top has Yoko’s head spinning before he timbers down for another strong near fall. They do such a good job that Yoko’s eventual win and 3-count off a Banzai Drop is legit depressing. **1/2
The Men on a Mission rap to end the show. Despite some campy fun here and there, this is Not Recommended.
Up North to Down South – Honky Tonk Wayne, David Schultz & Davey Boy Smith vs. Kerry Brown, Duke Myers & Mike Miller (Stampede Wrestling 2/4/83)
The hook for this clip is infamous WWF asshats Honky Tonk Man and “Dr. D” David Schultz as good ol’ boy babyfaces teaming with up-and-coming Davey Boy Smith. It’s only around 5 minutes of stuff, JIP after 12 minutes of action according to commentator Ed Whalen, who kind of makes anything he commentates worth watching. Apparently the good guys had been dominating, but now Davey Boy is being worked over by the baddies. He manages a sunset flip to a big pop, but goes flying over the top when Miller holds down the ropes. This leads to a big melee where Myers gives Davey a piledriver on the floor, so Davey’s counted out.
As is tradition with the Stampede Wrestling match clips, post-match empty arena in-ring interviews are aired after the match. Schultz and Wayne babyface it up for the TV audience, sympathizing with young Davey Boy, who will be replaced by Bret Hart in a 6-man return match next week: “That boy is gonna have a headache for a long time.” Honky Tonk meanwhile seems to be finding himself: “I got six old ladies. I had six eggs over easy this morning. I fight six people every day when I get up! And when it comes to a six-man tag, we’re the best!” No rating, but an interesting clip. Recommended
Experience the Heat – The Ebony Experience vs. John Tatum & Rod Price w/ Gary Hart and Sebastian (Manny Fernandez on commentary) (GWF 8/11/92)
This match, highlighting some very early work from the future Harlem Heat, is way too long and super formulaic, but it also has a LOT going for it. First of all, The Ebony Experience, a form of Booker T and Stevie Ray I have never seen before, are wearing rainbow-colored jackets. Gary Hart, who has HAIR, manages the bad guys and is assisted on the evening by Sebastian, who is a Jameson-ripoff looking guy with taped glasses that hops on commentary to brag about his newsletter. It also pleases me greatly that GWF goes to commercial with Booker fighting out of a chinlock, and they return to action with no time elapsed.
To top it ALL off, Ragin’ Bull Manny Fernandez is on commentary, and based on Matt Hardy’s Art of Wrestling story I like to think he bullied his way into a commentary spot on the show. He is hilarious, not on the same page with the other commentators, but they aren’t any good anyways so it doesn’t matter. “Look at that wrestling takedown by Rotten Rod Price!”
Otherwise, yeah – there’s a match here. Ebony Experience are the GWF Tag Team Champions Tatum sells the FUCK out of a hiptoss from Booker. Actually he sells the fuck out of everything. Otherwise – long, long stretches of heel offense on Booker before a decent hot tag by Stevie Ray, and a sloppily executed finish where Hart hits Tatum by mistake leading to the 3. Hart gets fired by Tatum and Price afterwards. This isn’t all that good but it’s a trip. Ebony Experience signed with WCW a year later. **1/2 and Recommended
Lightning in a Bottle – The Lightning Kid vs. Louie Spicolli (WWF Superstars Dark Match 4/6/93)
The dark match monotone ring announcing of Mike McGuirk is something else, folks. The generic Young Stallions “Crank It Up” theme strikes again for young Sean Waltman. Actually – I think this particular one might be dubbed and it’s making me question everything. Anyways, this match took place a day after WrestleMania IX, and led to Waltman getting a contract a month later and Spicolli getting a handful of enhancement matches before getting a contract a couple years later.
It’s a 4-and-a-half minute match but it’s got cool stuff like an arm-clutch northern lights suplex, a big bump into the corner by Kid, and a missed somersault splash. Plus Kid does an insane spin kick plancha from the top rope to about a quarter way up the entrance aisle. He was about 5 years into his career but already doing some STUFF. Louie meanwhile plays a wonderful basic schlub of a heel around the spectacular. An old school victory roll gets Kid the pin and a few different name changes before they settled on 1-2-3. Very, very cool Hidden Gem. ** and Recommended
Blessed be the Road – Brian Armstrong vs. Barry Hardy (WWF Wrestling Challenge Dark Match 8/16/94)
Road Dogg deserves the Hall of Fame but I’m not sure there’s a ton of his work anyone’s clamoring for from a Hidden Gems perspective. It’s usually where he’s playing full Armstrong Family babyface in WCW (like the below match), or, in this case, he’s doing it as a tryout for the WWF, one that eventually snagged him a job. Regardless, that role for him always feels a little awkward. He does it here, putting those dukes up and exuding that Armstrong spunk, if not much in the way of athleticism. He most notably rocks a basic red Georgia jacket and blue tights, in addition to a double fade with dreads haircut. The match isn’t much – he does the quick jabs spot, though ends it with a big boot as opposed to a larger jab. A wobbly missile dropkick ends it. * and Not Recommended
The Pedigree of Degenerates – Jean-Paul Levesque vs. Brian Armstrong (WCW Pro 11/14/94)
The future Road Dogg doing WWF and WCW work in the span of a few months in 1994 seems like a neat little tidbit. Both of these guys ended up in the WWF in the next year. Gordon Solie and Larry Zbyszko are your intriguing commentary pair for this match, which goes about 2 minutes. Armstrong is a lot more animated here, though he’s also on defense much more than the last match, so he gets to sell like an Armstrong boy. Zbyszko thinks he should hit the gym though. The future Triple H ends it with a Pedigree where he kind of just lightly holds up Armstrong’s limp arms and drops him. Or, as commentary describes it: a “sort of, uh… short piledriver, but it was successful.” * and Not Recommended
A Stone Cold Heartbreak – Shawn Michaels w/ Jose Lothario vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin w/ Ted DiBiase (WWF Superstars Dark Match 3/10/96)
This starts with the announcer calling out various cities/regions in the Texas area and says what local affiliate and time WWF Superstars is on. Austin in March 1996 is a stoic man, no longer the Ringmaster but still the Million Dollar Champion with Ted DiBiase at his side, and on his way to his first match at WrestleMania opposite Savio Vega. Babyface Shawn en route to the WWF Championship at WrestleMania XII is introduced as accompanied by Jose Lothario, though he enters and hops on the mic to introduce Lothario himself.
This is cool just to see this future major WrestleMania main event worked as a relatively quiet, basic, technical match, with little reaction early on except for clapping Michaels out of a chinlock or for a back body drop on the concrete to counter an Austin piledriver setup. There’s a lot of classic face-controls-heel stuff early on – quite a few headlocks to silence, but the folks like Shawn and love when he outsmarts Stone Cold. Austin counters a sleeper later in the match with an early version of the Stunner, and Shawn sells it as if his jaw has been slightly inconvenienced. They do a cool spot where Austin tries to jump on Shawn who’s recovering on the second rope, Shawn moves, Austin bounces off the ropes but is able to land on his feet, and poses as Michaels kips up behind him. Superkick, celebration, yadda yadda. Nothing special and a classic all at once. **** and Recommended
The One in OVW – Billy Gunn vs. Mark Jindrak w/ (OVW 5/24/03)
Jim Cornette is in his usual over-the-top OVW hype mode, expensing all his energy for WWE Superstar Billy Gunn, who was about to be re-introduced after the Billy & Chuck run. He and Jindrak wrestle a match that is very very very very very much 2003 WWF developmental. Gunn teaches the kid a thing or two as they have a passable formula match stock full of steroids. Gunn hits the Fameasser, Lance Cade and Kenny Bolin run-in, and THE APA runs them off. I don’t know what else to tell ya. I’m sure there’s some weird Gunn dark matches but like his partner Road Dogg, he’s had a pretty well-documented career and what shows up if he’s being highlighted is more hidden than gem. *1/2 and Not Recommended
