Ever since Cindy Lauper hooked up with Captain Lou Albano, the worlds of music and wrestling have co-mingled frequently.

I mention this because I recently came across this video from local hip-hop artist Kidd Russell for his song "Rush Rock" that features many local pro-wrestlers, most notably Geek To Me fave Colt Cabana! I think it's an example of how pro-wrestling has become part of mainstream pop-culture. The song really rocks and the video has a nice 'day in the life of' look at a pro-wrestlers:
Oh, and for the record, I'm still waiting for Colt to call me about tag-teaming in a match! Hellooooooooo Scott. The Iron Geek is ready to hit the ring! Call me! Text me even!
