Melissa Molinaro is an American pop singer, actress, choreographer and model. She was born in Canada but moved with her family to the USA at 13 years old. At the age of 18, Melissa auditioned for the girl pop group “Goddess”, and became its lead singer. She received a recording deal with Interscope records but never achieved fame with the label. She auditioned for MTV’s ‘Making The Band 3’ and ‘Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search For the Next Doll’ but was eliminated from both shows just before the finale. She would continue to do movie, television and music gigs by appearing in music videos for JC Chasez and Celine Dion as well as television credits for shows such as ‘Rodney’ and ‘Grounded for Life and minor film roles in films such as ‘High Crimes’ and ‘The Hillz’. She has appeared in many commercials and done promotional modeling for Miss Fitness, Detroit Automotive Show, Sports By Brooks, Microsoft, Xbox, Skecher, Nappytabs, Nivea and Dickies Girls. In early 2011, Molinaro was featured as the lead performer in the smash hit Old Navy advertisement “Super C-U-T-E” that garnered over 1.7 million views on YouTube within the first week of release. The commercial became very controversial as Molinaro looks very similar to reality TV star Kim Khardashian and Kim sued and an out of court settlement was reached between both parties. She has released several independent music singles on Youtube that have reached over 1 million views. Some of her recent film credits include playing Nooki in the Syfy TV movie ‘Jersey Shore Shark Attack’ and Carla in ‘Honey 2’ as well as several guest appearances on hit television shows like ‘How I Met Your Mother’ and ‘The Game’.

We continue our series on wrestling’s craziest superstars by taking a look at some of wrestling’s ‘in-ring madmen. Some promoters and performers looked for ways to heighten audience excitement. Early no-holds barred matches and cage matches would be replaced by hardcore matches that involved lots of blood and foreign objects being used. Hardcore wrestling is often separated into distinct levels based on the graphic nature of the match. Promotions in Japan such as FMW escalated the violence to legitimately dangerous levels with gimmick matches that involved barbed wire, explosives and fire. These matches and gimmicks soon became popular in North America. Many of the wrestlers in these matches put their health and well-being on the line. It’s a weird dynamic to see that these guys are seriously injuring each other but everyone in the audience thinks that it’s fake. It’s completely moronic what these guys would do for virtually no money and no prospect of ever making any money from doing this. It’s sado-masochism at its finest. Some of the wrestlers on our list liked to dish out pain while others would put their bodies on the line and take extreme amounts of punishment in order to entertain the crowd and go home shocked at something that they’ve never witnessed as a wrestling fan before. One would argue that this isn’t a wrestling match. It’s simply two guys inflicting pain on each other more than anything else. Here’s a roundup of some of the wrestlers that we chose on our list…
Abdullah the Butcher
-He is nicknamed the ‘Sudanese Madman’ and sometimes referred to by his most faithful fans as ‘Abby.’ His weapons of choice were sharpened pencils that he would rake over his opponents’ foreheads as well as a fork that he would use to stab his opponent in the head with. While he enjoyed seeing his opponents spill blood; he also enjoyed seeing his own blood and would sometimes taste his own blood to the shock and disgust of wrestling fans. Abdullah had some truly bloody battles with Carlos Colon in Puerto Rico as well as Cactus Jack in America. Many of his matches went away from the ring area and into the crowd. There wasn’t a weapon that Abdullah wouldn’t use in a match. If Abby could get his hands on something, he would use it and this included microphones, the ring bell and the fans own chairs they were sitting in. Not even the refs were spared. If a ref tried to take his trademark fork away from him, Abdullah would stab the ref with the fork as well. As if his carnage wasn’t bad enough, it turns out that Abdullah the Butcher was diagnosed with Hepatitis C and was sued by another wrestler who believed that he got the disease from Larry. If true, it just shows what a crazy person in the ring Larry truly was if he would risk giving someone a serious disease just to entertain the fans in the arena. While Abdullah was psychotic in the ring, he was a soft spoken, intelligent and friendly man outside of wrestling. A switch would go off in his head as soon as a match would start and he would change from a mild mannered restaurant owner to a complete madman in the ring. It’s time to whip up enough tasty and lazy snack. We’re going to take our love of Doritos chips to new heights by crushing them up into millions of tiny pieces and using them as a coating for some chicken breasts. We love recipes like this one because it’s very hard to screw this up. You can overcook these items and the worst that can happen to you will be an extra crispy crust on the outside with the moist texture of the chicken meat still nice and juicy on the inside. The recipe to make this type of chicken is no different than any other breaded chicken recipe. You always need milk, eggs, chicken, some spices and your coating of choice. You can always substitute the Doritos for other stuff such as corn flakes, panko bread crumbs or Italian bread crumbs but we like the cheesyness of the chips instead. You can purchase some Jalapeno or Sweet Chili Doritos if you’re the adventurous type but we’re going to use good old fashioned Nacho Cheese Doritos for our recipe. Let’s find out how to make this easy recipe at home. 1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees 2. Take your boneless chicken breasts and cut them up into strips length-wise. Make sure to remove any extra fat that might be on the chicken. 3. Put the chicken breasts into some buttermilk and place them in the fridge for an hour or two. 4. Whip up some eggs. 5. Crush some Doritos by hand or in a blender to make the coating nice and small. 6. Take chicken out of the fridge and drain some of the buttermilk in with the eggs. Take off any excess buttermilk from the chicken and place the chicken in some flour that’s mixed with black pepper, cayenne pepper and some garlic powder. Now place each strip into the egg mixture and then into the Doritos. Repeat this step a second or third time in order to build up a nice thick coating around the chicken. 7. Pour some canola oil or peanut oil into an iron cast pot. Make sure there’s enough oil to soak the chicken completely. We don’t want too much oil as we don’t want the oil to spill over or start a fire. Make sure the oil heats up to between 350-375 degrees and then carefully lower each strip one or two at a time and cook for roughly 2-3 min. on each side until golden brown. All done! We recommend you serve these with marinara sauce on the side as the cheese goes well with a good tomato dip. [ratings]
Professional wrestling is a form of sports entertainment loosely based on competitive wrestling. It’s a type of soap opera to many male fans. Even though the sport is fake, the entertainers that work in the industry are known to be some of the more unhinged individuals that work in modern society. You must constantly put your body and life in jeopardy and do things that wouldn’t even be considered normal. There’s no off season in pro wresting and many wrestlers get injured and need to continue wrestling in order to keep their top spot in the company and help support their families. There have been more wrestler deaths in pro wrestling compared to any other sport. This is a direct result of abusing pain killers, sleeping pills, and steroids in order to recover faster from injury, stay awake to reach your next show and to keep your body looking built up in order to have the physique of a pro wrestler. But, how do you define crazy in pro wrestling? Something that might appear crazy to one fan might be perfectly acceptable to the person sitting next to them at a wrestling show. We’ve decided to showcase some of wrestling’s crazier superstars by breaking them into three distinct categories. The first category is ‘In-Ring Lunacy’. In this category, we’re going to highlight wrestlers that took things too far inside the ring. These are individuals who broke the conventional wrestling code and put their lives on the line in the ring and did things to their opponents that most fans would cringe at. The second category is ‘The Voices’. These are wrestlers who took their wrestling promos too far and said things that shouldn’t have been said inside and outside the squared circle. As wrestling fan, you had to ask yourself whether what was said was all an act or whether these individuals truly believed in what they were mouthing off to other people. The last category is ‘Outside Madness’. This category is reserved for pro wrestlers who took things too far outside the pro wrestling business and into their personal lives. Many of these people had underlying problems beyond the pro wrestling industry and made mistakes that they shouldn’t have made and some resulted in another individual’s death. We’re going to start our series off with ‘The Voices’ of professional wrestling. These wrestlers on this list put our attention in a choke hold from their first crazy word. There were no such things as scripts or script writers. When a professional wrestler lets loose on a microphone, it’s safe to say that absolutely anything and everything is bound to happen. Some wrestlers can give interviews that sound like Shakespeare while others will go off on such a maniacal departure that viewers can only be left in amazement at the insanity that they just witnesses before their own eyes.
The Ultimate Warrior
-The Ultimate Warrior (James Hellwig) has produced so many crazy promos that he could fill this entire list. He often talked about making sacrifices and taking things to another level that we’re sure involved planets and spirituality. He would often deliver his promos away from the camera and would be all over the place in terms of direction. When warrior quit the WWE over payment and royalty issues, He legally changed his name to ‘Warrior’ in order to own the rights to the name ‘Ultimate Warrior’ so that Vince Mcmahon couldn’t legally own the rights to the same name and profit from it. The WWE and Vince Mcmahon hated Hellwig so much that they released a DVD entitled ‘The Self-Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior’ that highlights what a neurotic individual Hellwig was to do business with. Outside of the ring, James Hellwig is a right-wing conservative commentator that has toured several universities discussing politics and attacking left-wing politics. He has made several controversial comments about gay people and mentioned that ‘Queering doesn’t make the world work’ where he said that the world wouldn’t exist if there were only gay people living on the planet. When an Iranian student asked the Warrior a question at a University funded event , Warrior told the student to ‘get a towel.’ He’s known to have made racist and homophobic comments at several public speaking events. He has a nasty persecution complex and has sued many publications that have insulted what he believes in. While the Warrior might be misunderstood to many, he’s also a known self-help guru with plenty of inspirational speeches that he delivers to his fans that are posted on YouTube. |
