Dialogues of the Steel Jaws of Death: The Great Cheyenne

Pro Wrestling. A spectacle enjoyed by Metalheads since the dawn of time. This form of entertainment has been woven together with Metal throughout history and they belong to each other like peanut butter and jelly, spikes and studs on a denim vest & the ever epical unification of Punk and Traditional Heavy Metal (which gave birth to Thrash Metal \m/).

While wrestling by itself is as Metal as it gets, sometimes there comes individuals who take it to a HUGE level of \m/ HEAVINESS \m/, and the likes of The Legion of Doom (aka The Road Warriors, Animal & Hawk (can't forget Power Warrior & Puke)), Demolition, The Heavy Metal Sisters, The Undertaker, Jerry Lynn, Chris Jericho & Balls Mahoney have accomplished such a feat. Today we look at another wrestler who has successfully reached the \m/ HEAVY \m/ plateau and even surpassed it (by being a mother at the same time \m/ ).

Today's Dialogues of the Steel Jaws of Death is none other than The Great Cheyenne.

Minor Comeback from my Exodus

Good evening,

I have decided to come back for a day from my break to bring to you 3 very awesome things to the forefront of Channel 13:

1) Dunkin Donuts Pentagram Creme Donut. This was discovered by accident as I was working with the next 2 items:

2) I now have Twitter ( http://twitter.com/i6z6a6n , thanks for the inspiration Cheyenne), so sign up to get news on update for Channel 13, Metal Trek and every other silly thing that come across my mind (within the confines of 140 words or less).

3) The headliner of the batch, as I had the opportunity to interview Steff from Steff Metal ( http://www.steffmetal.com ). As said before and will be said many times afterwards, Steff is one of my inspirations for hitting the world of blogging, and this is my honored opportunity to get in depth with someone who I hold a high regard and a great deal of respect, and considering the answers to my questions, this is one interview that will be very enlightening and encouraging.

Dialogues of the Steel Jaws of Death: Steff of Steff Metal

Today's special guest is someone who I look up to and is a \m/ HEAVY \m/ inspiration in my blogging endeavors. When I first encountered her blog, she showcased a blog that goes beyond the album reviews, beyond the band interviews and beyond the concert reviews.

She runs a blog that gives substance and soul to what a Metal Blog is supposed to be about and more. She tames killer cats of the homicidal variety. She is the Alpha and Omega of Metal Fashion. Most important, she is an icon of the world of Heavy Metal and didn't need a weapon of the Steel Gods (aka a guitar, bass, drum and/or mic) to stake her place in Valhalla.

Channel 13 presents today's Dialogues of the Steel Jaws of Death: Steff of Steff Metal.

Dunkin Donuts Pentagram Creme Donut

Donuts. A food typically found in Metalheads diet. By themselves, they are somewhat Metal for the following reasons:

1) They are incredibly unhealthy (Slaughter by the Dough).
2) They can usually be found 24/7 just about anywhere. You can also find plenty of Metalheads in said places looking for a late night snack or to hang out after a concert in the wee hours of the evening.
3) Like with Metal, have many different variations in the family (Gelatin Ash Metal, aka the Jelly Donut & Arctic Frozen Plain Metal, aka the Glazed Donut).

While donuts are in their own right able to claim the might and strength of steel, very few Donuts are able to procure the greatness of being the flag-bearer.

Introducing Dunkin Donuts Pentagram Creme Donut.

While not officially named "Pentagram Creme Donut", this is the best way to name the pastry from the Devils pantry \m/

For you Pagans/Wiccans out there...

This donut is essentially is one of the many takes on the classic Boston Creme, a legend amongst pastry ranks.

I managed to find this donut while updating Channel 13 with the Steff Metal interview, and to say this is a 1 - 2 combo punch would put the likes of Ryu, Ken, Sagat to shame. Best way to set up a kick ass interview is with a evil donut.

Metal Trek at Full Operational Capacity and a Short Exodus

Folks, Metal Trek ( http://metaltrek.blogspot.com ) is now running at full capacity. The errors on the Euro Metal Fest 2011 have been fixed and are ready for your viewing pleasure.

As indicated before, I am taking some time off from Metal Trek and Channel 13 ( http://channel13metal.blogspot.com ), so if there are no updates, now you know.

I have major plans for both blogs as I have some projects that I want to unleash to the world, annd these will be my avenues to do it.
Check it out and thanks for your patience and understanding.

Recent Updates and Some Small News

Metal Trek was recently updated with The Maiden Voyage Section. This is the most crucial part of the blog as this will provide all the information on how to travel to a Metal Festival right down to the dollar. This was a long process as I had to do some MAJOR revisions from the Wacken Trek edition, and that's why it couldn't join the launch of Metal Trek. Check it out \m/

The Euro Metal Fest Tour 2011 has been revamped with proper links so it is no longer linking to the old Wacken Trek website. One thing I need to mention is that the Vienna portion had to be taken down due to a mistake I did and as a result, I need to fix it before bringing it back up again.

The Last Day, Schwag and Thank You post have been split into 4 components as it was too big for all the pictures to be seen (the pics were not loading properly). This also make for an easier read so you can pace yourself and go by "chapters" instead of one big read.

Once I have fixed the issue with the Vienna post, I am taking a small break from blogging as I need some personal "ME" time. Once I am done with my break, I will re-focus my attention on Metal Trek and Channel 13.

I also have plans on on re-posting my 2011 Maiden Weekend and the 2012 Iced Earth Florida Tour, but instead of just posting the pics, I will re-haul them for a proper blog post (in other words, a lot of senseless commentary on the trips from yours truly =D ).

Finally, the countdown to the Barge To Hell continues and as indicated some time ago, I managed to get in to the cruise thanks to Vaughan Pollard as he and his buddies had one more space left and offered it to me. I don't have to say how fortunate I was for this opportunity and how grateful I am to him for making this happen. For obvious reasons, my trip will be extensively covered and it will be Metal Trek's first original post.

That's it for now, but I want to say thank you to all who have passed by Metal Trek and Channel 13 and enjoyed my style of Metal Entertainment and Information.

Laters.
