Intruder Blu-ray contest winner is....


Nathan 'Son of Celluloid' Hamilton! Let's give the man a round of applause! He had two ideas, but this right here is what put him in the favorite picks:

"The other is a deathmatch wrestling tournament. If you don't know what that is, go look at the "Carnage Cup" album on my fb profile. There's a lot of people doing incredibly dangerous and brutal things with a variety of potentially lethal weapons, and the interplay between "planned" and "real" violence could be interesting. Plus, if you filmed it at an actual event, the real life blood and violence could add actual real gore and a lot of production value for no extra budget. It's an atmosphere of barely controlled violence...imagine if it got out of control."

Man, I have been out of the wrestling loop for a long fucking while. I must say the last time I was ape shit over it was back when WcW, ECW and WWF branched together. So, admittedly I had no idea what Carnage Cup was. I looked it up on Youtube. It reminded me of this one night back in the 90s, stoned and confined to my bedroom flipping channels in the early morning hours. I came across ECW, which I had never heard of, as at the time I wasn't following wrestling. I see some dude wrestling a girl. Next thing I know is some other dude is holding the girl in place so the other guy can bounce off the ropes and kick her in the fucking face. Hah. I was blown away and hooked. Then my friend showed me a barbed wire match between Terry Funk and Sabu. I figured I'd never see anything on that level again. Then, like I said, I checked out Carnage Cup on Youtube, and suddenly ECW felt more like GLOW:



HOLY. SHIT. INTRIGUED.



Anyhow, thanks to everybody for entering. Lemme tell ya, there were some great comments that made it pretty damn hard to choose favorites to randomly pick from. I appreciate everyone's participation and am sorry I can't hook everybody up with something. While I can't promise to do a giveaway of some sorts every month, you can bet I'm gonna try my damndest because this was a helluva lot of fun!
