DMB VS MGB

Did we ever do this one...? 
We didn't? 
YOU SURE?
Then it's about damn time! 
Let's do this!!! 
THE BATTLE OF THE MATTHEWS! 
IT IS ON!!!

... because it's been brewing since the 1990s...! 

DAVE MATTHEWS BAND 
versus 
MATTHEW GOOD BAND!

































... and now... the Canadian guy









































And you would think GOOD 
would win it - with this one: 



... and yes, it is featured on our very own luminous manifesto, y'know...

BUT NO...!!! 




















.....................


GOTTA GIVE IT TO DAVE; 
SEE... *he* is a Believer 
(Quaker-bred and in denial now) 
*plus* he didn't contribute 
to the QAF soundtrack 
--- at least!!! 

....................








All right - 
REVERSED DECISION: 
Matt Wins!

A Battle of Horsemen!


There was the ORIGINAL GANG... 

THE FOUR HORSEMEN - circa 1990 


And there was the revival group: 
The Extreme Horsemen! 

The Extreme ones are like the Musketeers, see: 
they're either 3 or 5... sometimes 4... up to 6 even! 
They simply cannot count! 
Well - there are referees for that! 

(We'll just ignore those other attempts, 
this time out: 


...see - they ALL wanna be Horsemen!)

(Truth be told, Ric Flair didn't help in this: he was part of two 
of the attempted revival factions! What the hell, Ric? 
Don't you know that you cannot recapture lightning in a bottle 
TWICE... much less THRICE! 
And don't you even think about it FOUR TIMES! 
Wooooo! Granted, fellow original Horsemen 
{înducted into a Hall of Fame with him} J.J. Dillon 
and "Widowmaker" Barry Windham 
were also seen aiding the revival we focus on today... 
This "extreme" one, aye... 
But that's another story... and a sad one, at that.)

Based on all the carnage 
(that is available to peruse, at this time) 
which wild bunch of Horsemen 
would have made Peckinpah proud? 
HUH - LOL 

Peek and see:





....

....
....
//// well, yeah: imitation is the sincerest form of flattery - they say...////

But, no, really... 
though they tried so hard 
and gave it their darn best, 
these independent "Extreme" 
(alternatively known as "Xtreme" - duh)
Horsemen never measured up: 
C.W. Anderson not being a real Enforcer 
(never mind a real Anderson: even Arn isn't!) 
Simon Diamond never matching up 
with the sheer "heel coolness" 
perfected by Tully Blanchard... 
and as for the former 
- Justin Credible - 
well... he's another X-Pac, 
at best. 
And that is no compliment! 

Steve Corino thought he was 
Ric Flair's heir apparent. 

Well... 

A lot of other guys thought 
the exact (Xact?) same thing: 
and they all fell considerably short! 
(Buddy Landell, Jeff Jarrett, Curt Hennig, Shawn Michaels, Terry Taylor, Stan Lane, Bob Backlund, Steve Austin, Rick Rude, Bobby Eaton, Dolph Ziggler, Bobby Roode, Chris Jericho, Terra Ryzing - to name but a few!)

We won't even get into 
Xtreme members 
Ricky Landell,  
John Skyler (Schuyler?) 
Jeff Lewis Neil, 
Damien Wayne, 
plus Windham and Dillon themselves!

JJ Dillon wanted to recapture this so bad: 


... with this, in the alleged MLW - and elsewhere:


... they hit HARDER, they said? 
Uh... no - not really!
Look at Ric Flair's punching power - 
in evidence right here: 






Uh... okay, that was kayfabe!
(another word for "make-believe"
- you poor uninitiated soul!
Forgive them, Ric!)

Woo!

BETTER RING GENERAL 
BETTER ENFORCER 
BETTER HORSEMEN
THE ORIGINAL GANG OF FOUR! 


... and, next time, we compare them to this


LOL
