Smark Attack Pro-Wrestling Promo of the Day: The Ultimate Warrior
Posted By Charlie Deitch on Tue, Jul 25, 2017 at 9:04 AM
Throughout the history of professional wrestling, what a performer can do on the mic is often just as important as what they do in the ring. Each afternoon, Smark Attack will highlight a wrestling promo that shows off the best, and sometimes the worst, in pro wrestling microphone work.
And we're not just looking for classic promos. If you're a local wrestler or if you've always wanted to be a pro wrestler and want to show off your mic skills send your best promo: 45 seconds or less to info@pghcitypaper.com. If we end up running it on the blog, we'll give you a City Paper t-shirt.

The people crowded around the ring in the Court Time Sports Center in Elizabeth, Pa. were a mix of families, groups of teens, adult friends getting together to indulge in the graps and older folks who likely have been watching the sport since before I was born. It’s a nice example of the squared circle’s ability to make art accessible to a wide range of folks.

Chris No. 2 is the fearless vocalist and bassist of Pittsburgh-based political punk act Anti-Flag. He was kind enough to take a few moments out of his busy hometown gig day to chat with City Paper about 11 years of Warped Tour, making yourself feel at home in the middle of a long tour, and holding it down as a political and punk staple on the tour.

Each week, we post a song from a local artist online for free. This week, it's a XOMwonderful remix Moon Baby's "Tip of the Tongue." Moon Baby's new album, Barbara, is set for release this fall and we’ve already heard the excellent debut single “Pumps by the Pool” (song of the summer?). There’s a lot to look forward to, but today we’re looking back, with a remix of “Tip of the Tongue,” from the 2016 album Hollywood Killed Tara Reid. Stream or download “Tip of my Tongue (remix)” below and keep an eye out for Barbara.
