Review of Rob Zombie/Alice Cooper concert (there is a wrestling connection)

I know everyone is anxiously waiting the Monday Night Raw recap, but I’m still working on it. In the meantime, please feel free to go to The Midnight Sun blog and check out my review of the Rob Zombie/Alice Cooper concert that took place Sunday night in Columbia, Md.

I normally don’t plug any other writing I do for The Baltimore Sun or baltimoresun.com, but there is somewhat of a pro wrestling connection with this one.

In addition to performances by Zombie, Cooper and four other bands, The Halloween Hootenanny Tour Sunday featured wrestling matches involving the midget competitors from Spike TV’s "Half Pint Brawlers" (midget may not be the politically correct term but it’s what these little guys prefer to be called). I only saw a little bit of the wrestling action, but I don’t want to sell these wrestlers short. They were doing some impressive moves, which is no small feat. Sorry.

Zombie and Cooper, by the way, also have an association with pro wrestling. In addition to Zombie hosting Raw this past June, his song “Never Gonna Stop” was Edge’s entrance music at one time. Plus, he’s friends with former WCW star Diamond Dallas Page, who appeared in Zombie’s film, “The Devil’s Rejects.”

Cooper, of course, was in the corner of Jake “The Snake” Roberts when Roberts faced The Honky Tonk Man at WrestleMania III.

It's funny how you didn't plug this concert before posting your review of Impact. No, you had to wait until the concert was OVER before talking about it, thus giving yourself an excuse to put your review of Raw on the back burner, you TNA mark.

What about Black Label Society and Children of Bodom? How were they?

RESPONSE FROM KE: I only saw a little bit of their sets, so I can't really say.

Did Alice Cooper do anything special for his stage show?

RESPONSE FROM KE: It's all in the review.

Kev, how bout you do some "investigative journalism" for a change and find out when The Great One plans on making another WWE appearance! Because The Millions.....and Millions of The Rock's fans are just plain bored... like really...

Otherwise, awesome blog. Keep it up.
