BEST OF BULLDOG
'Twas The Nitro Before Christmas
Originally published December 18, 2017
For more than a decade, Canadian Bulldog has been composing off-beat, quirky Christmas Carols for the offbeat, quirky world of pro wrestling. Here's another one...
‘Twas the Nitro before Christmas
And all through the ring
Not a creature was stirring
Except The Man They Call Sting
The turnbuckles were hung
By the ring ropes with care
With hopes that the Nitro Girls
Soon would be there
Eric Bischoff was nestled
All snug in his bed
While visions of big ratings
Danced in his head
Mongo McMichael
Had a dog in his lap
The West Texas Rednecks
Performed “Rap Is Crap”
When out in the ring
There arose such a clatter
The cruiserweights were battling
Up on a ladder
Out on the ramp
Bischoff flew like a flash
He saw Shannon Moore
Beating up Lash
“Save it for the show!”
Bischoff barked to his crew
“The first hour, we’ve got Kidman
Going against Lash LeRoux”
When, what to Bischoff’s
Wondering eyes should appear
But the new World order
Chugging some beer
“Stop drinking!” he yelled
Chastising Scott Hall
“We’re already booked that segment
For the next SuperBrawl!”
A Hummer then pulled up
So lively and quick.
It must be Hulk Hogan,
The father of Nick
(well… and of Brooke…. but that hardly rhymes)
“Hollywood,” said Eric
“Why are you here?
Your contract only calls for
Four matches a year!”
“About that,” said Hogan.
“I can’t pay my rent.
Either give me a bonus
Or find a new main event.”
The power play left Easy E
Very upset
He was going to have Hogan
Fight David Arquette
“Now Booker! Now Bagwell! Now Goldberg! Now Page!
On Luger! On Giant! All you - get in a cage!
We’re having a seven-man War Games tonight
The winner, for some reason, will be Alex Wright!”
“And because I believe
Controversy Creates Cash,
We’ll next have Madusa
Against Kevin Nash!”
“And then we’ll have Kanyon
Go over Ric Flair.
While Scott Steiner shows up
And shaves off his hair!”
And then, in a twinkling,
Bischoff heard on the roof
Disco Inferno
Who was being a goof
Then the fat man arrived
Sporting a beard
No, not Santa Claus –
Mark Madden had appeared
Mark Madden was joined
By Tony and Heenan
To announce as Bret Hart
Got screwed by The KISS Demon
“Welcome to the greatest night
In the history of our business,”
Schiavone announced,
as they had a Dusty Finish.
Schiavone soon said
“Time’s run out on this fight,
So tune into Nitro and
Have a great night!”
