Video: Wrestling's 'biggest stars' are talking about Eck vs. Schmuck
The entire wrestling world is buzzing about the upcoming six-man tag team match in which Baltimore Sun columnist and blogger Peter Schmuck and I will be on opposite sides. The match takes place July 31 at Maryland Championship Wrestling's Shamrock Cup show at The New Green Room in Dundalk.

That's actually a pretty good Jack Swagger impression.

I've seen your photo almost every week for over 2 years, but it is unbeleivable that I never picked up on your resemblance to Jack Swagger!!! (and to a lesser extent Chris Jericho and Kennedy!!!)

Kevin,
I've been critical of you in the past for promoting MCW's "Shane Shamrock" tournament for reasons that I don't think I need to get into here.
However, I must say that I'm appalled that you would be performing at this event and honoring an individual such as Mr. Hauser.
I am sure you have your reasons for participating, but I think your decision shows poor judgment. I understand your desire to perform, but I would rather see you do so at an event that doesn't revolve around paying tribute to someone of Mr. Hauser's ilk.
Just my opinion.

Excellent Swagger, right down to the lisp! Good Jericho, too!

Where's the Randy Orton impression?! (just stare, move like voldemort, and hit an RKO on someone)

Dude, that has got to be the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. Thanks man.

Let's see how many reader comments will take this clip waaaaayyyy too seriously (as if you're not supposed to have fun with this angle, because somehow they know better).

-Borash needed more 1920's villian
-Hall needed more alcoholic drinking
-Hogan needed more YAPPAI Indian Strappage
Everyone else I thought was pretty damn good, especially Swagger and Jericho.

The scmuckster has forgotten that you're
THE BEST THERE IS

He's Kevin "The Hit Man" Eck

You owe me 3 minutes and 10 secs of my life back that i will NEVER EVER gain back

I hope Peter sticks a 2 x 4 up where the sun doesn't shine on you. Eck, you stink worse than the Back RIver.
Posted by: Brad | July 19, 2010 8:42 PM
Awesome! I love this! Looks like you had a ton of fun with this!
Posted by: Curtis | July 19, 2010 11:38 PM
You could have said "Mr. Kevineck ... Kevineck;" that would have been a good play on the familiar catchphrase, or were you just going for pure zaniness?

Kevin, if I had known you suffer from Multiple Personality Disorder, I never would have agreed to this match. I've always tried to stand up for people with disabilities.

ROFLOLMAO Please upload it in youtube as well. I want to download this. :D

Wow. That was crap-tastic.
Posted by: Big Dave | July 20, 2010 7:54 AM
This makes me want to come back to Baltimore just for this match.
Posted by: Bob D | July 20, 2010 8:14 AM
where is 'the miz'. b/c you're the eck and your awesome!
Posted by: jt | July 20, 2010 9:57 AM
If that wasn't a cry for help I don't know what is. We need to stage an intervention -- fast. It's for Kevin's own good.
Posted by: Aaron Goldstein | July 20, 2010 10:10 AM
To use something from Pete's word..., that was a swing and a....., MISS. Great idea though, bad execution
Posted by: Dave | July 20, 2010 10:51 AM
If "Hogan" is on your support team, I don't like your chances, Eck...but at least you'll know two moves.
Posted by: Diz | July 20, 2010 11:32 AM
It's beyond embarrassing that The Sun puts this wrestling crap in the Sports Section. It should be in the Entertainment section. And as usual, this will not be posted because Kevin Eck doesn't allow any negative comments to see the light of day.
RESPONSE FROM KE: You must not read the comments too closely.

Is that a post-it note pretending to me a mustache?
Posted by: Major Mel Funkshun | July 20, 2010 1:25 PM
That was hilarious!!!
Great Swagger impression. Kennedy and Jericho was really good too.
Posted by: Duane | July 20, 2010 2:59 PM
Wow. Slow day at the office huh?

Where's the Randy Orton impression?! (just stare, move like voldemort, and hit an RKO on someone)
Posted by: MitZi
I completely agree.

Eck is a Schmuck? Who said that?
Simply great ... thanks for posting and sharing. Still laughing.
Posted by: John | July 20, 2010 6:17 PM
This is a joke like the lame storylines from the underworked, overpaid writers at the WWE and TNA. This may be good for 2 minutes of fame in the Sun newsroom or at the nearest bar to the Sun building.
Posted by: Ken Myers | July 21, 2010 10:09 AM
LO effin L!!!! That was some of the funniest stuff I have seen in a while.
Posted by: Gary | July 21, 2010 2:45 PM
I wish I could do that in my newsroom...

Great video Kev. just wondering who is helping you train for your match and what does your training regimen consist of?
RESPONSE FROM KE: Training at Gillberg's school.
Posted by: Jeremy | July 23, 2010 1:11 AM
Kevin, I was drinking a soda while I was watching this... and guess what? You owe me a new keyboard. That was the funniest thing I've seen this week! Good Swagger impression. The grin had me laughing out loud.
You were pretty smooth, did you finally use your cue cards or did you memorize your lines?
