The Wrestling Women vs. the Aztec Mummy

At least I'm secure in the knowledge that wrestling has always been extremely boring, despite what large chunks of the 80s and 00s might say

she’s not wearing a wire. She’s wearing an FCC piracy station violation! Wired into her brassiere. At least 50,000 watts of raw transmitting power!

Charlotte, awaken! You’ll be encountering a heartwarming pig named Wilbur. Let him root around in your truffle patch.

Y'know, normally when you get flowers delivered in the middle of an assassination attempt, it's perfectly unsuspicious and is definitely not anything interesting hidden in them

Okay, also the Secret Aztec Codex is split into three parts and hidden in a hotel, which is where you normally hide codexes, and both Team Good and Team Evil are sending agents (Wrestling Women and Goons, respectively) to recover it.

Since Mesoamerican books were kind of folded up like American road maps, I'm guessing this codex just came apart because people forgot which way to fold it back up again until it broke into fragments.

The sound effects during this brawl are hilarious. Is that galloping? Are they wearing tap shoes?

Alright, so um... the plot escalates and a guy with different evil facial hair just walks into an apartment, kidnaps a Definitely Not Wrestling woman and walking out, leaving an ominous note. I have to appreciate the rapidness of this scene... the dude kidnaps the lady like I'd kidnap a pint of ice cream from the refrigerator.

Two Probably Wrestling women and the one good dude stumble in on the scene of the crime and discuss its brazen evilness.

she’ll do everything I order. Get me a cup of coffee.

After the conference of evil we get a conference of good, where a dude is explaining the plot of the movie to three women, two or more of which are Wrestling Women. Anyway, the Black Dragon wants to capture this guy who knows where the secret Aztec codex is and team not evil wants to stop him.

The plot was more complicated than that but I didn't summarize it right because I was shit posting.

After this we get an evil conference where the Black Dragon, who is dressed kind of like a chef if chefs wore silk pajamas that were shaped like chef clothes. Also, he has a fu manchu mustache to show that he is evil and an orientalizing stereotype that the ghost of Edward Said is probably frowning at, even though Edward Said was Palestinian and not Chinese, he'd probably not like that.

So after we get tired from our wrestling fight, the wrestling women get a Quest from a Quest Guy. I guess the Black Dragon guy is trying to steal an ancient something or other... I think it's an Aztec codex, and he's been killing people to um... get it somehow. Anyway, then a spy for the black dragon kills the Quest Guy I think with wizardry, which is Shocking!

I'm not sure about the guy voicing the Chinese/Mexican villain. Sounds more like a California-based comic-book enthusiast.

Okay I know we're all gonna make fun of The Dramatic Envelope but you can't tell me you don't react to important mail like there's a full brass band sting every time you open the mailbox. #Monsterdon

Okay, so the Juggalo archaeologist is killed by this Fu Manchu lookalike, who I guess is the evil "Black Dragon" and is some kind of problematic supervillain. His job is to cackle and kill people with sorcery I guess.

Anyway, we are then given like 5 minutes of women wrestling. Despite my expectations, these were not muscly luchadoras in cool scary masks but more like generically attractive 1960s women actors.

I love when a character in an old movie lights a candle and the lighting guy has to bring up a spotlight at exactly the same moment, it never looks right and it's charming

If that candle sheds that much light, maybe we don't need LEDs, we can just light every set in Hollywood with a handful of candles

mayo! On a sandwich! Spread thin. Let’s not blow out the calorie estimate.

If we can get an Aztec mummy into the ring now, this whole thing could wrap up in about five minutes.
