Alert reader Perry suggests:
Which MST characters would you like to see face off in the Octagon? (Or Thunderdome.) So many possibilities you could make a whole tournament card.
I think Kor the Conquerer vs. Melissa Strickland will be a close-run affair.
I’d pick Buzz from “Mr. B Natural” vs. John from “Cheating.” I envision an epic slap fight.
What’s your pick?
And keep those WDT ideas coming!
if you’re into running around and high pitched screams then i present this carnage filled handicapped match:
troy (final sacrifice) and mikey
vs.
punch slamjaw (space mutiny)
Great topic. I see Bat Woman versus the Leech Woman. There would be lots of arm’s reach scratching and smack talking.
….or y’know
a Texas get drunk and pass out fight between Rowzdower! and Mitchell!
IN THE RED CORNER! ZAP ROWSDOWER!
AND
IN THE BLUE CORNER! MITCHELL!
This bout is for a keg of beer. Special guest referee Captain Joe then hoists up the keg.
The Dust-Up in the Desert:
Paul “Moon Beast” Carlson
vs
Paul “Werewolf” Niles
The winner to face Johnny “Bat Boy” Beck.
Not to be one of those people, but I’ve started filling out an entire card…
Buzz (Mr. B Natural) vs. Buzz (Girl In Gold Boots)
Critter Jones vs. made-for-TV hippie (SF Int’l)
Mitchell vs. Geronimo
Troy vs. Winky
And in the main event, Godzilla vs. Megal…
Oh.
Right.
Mooney from The Beatniks versus Gloria from The Sinister Urge. The jagged blade that is Gloria’s voice against Mooney’s toddler-having-a-tantrum shriek would be worth the price of a ticket.
For our sluggish, awkward cyber bout: Dr. Krupp’s Robot Vs. Jet Jaguar.
For our playground argument settling bout: Godzilla Vs. Gamera.
Oh, Lordy Jeebus. This is gonna be a good one.
Let’s start out with the Tiny Liz Taylor Look-Alikes match.
Dolores Faith (Lisa Dornheimer in Human Duplicators, Zetha in Phantom Planet) vs. Adele Lamont (Doris Powell in the Brain that Wouldn’t Die).
I’ll be in my bunk.
Amen to THAT. I mean, this just writes itself. The All-Richard-Kiel Death Match–Doctor Kolos, Eegah, and the Solarite. The Brain That Wouldn’t Die Over-the-Hill Stripper Dressing-Room Death Cage Rematch. The Perky Judy Slapdown–Judee Morton (Bonnie Galbraith in Slime People) vs Bonnie Baken (Judy “Squishy” Adams in Young Man’s Fancy).
Somebody get Vince on the phone. THIS COULD BE BIG.
A flailing Battlebots match up between the Robot from ‘Robot Vs The Aztec Mummy’ vs Bela Lugosi’s homely robot from ‘The Phantom Creeps’.
Oh, and the Aztec Mummy vs the Zombie, Tony Washington from ‘Zombie Nightmare’.
Prince of Space vs. the hero of Invasion of the Neptune Men! Confusion ensues.
Thena vs. Madam Maaydeed from Quest of the Delta Knights in the Battle of the Push-Up Bras! Very popular bout.
Dr. Carlo Lombardi & the Dr. Carlo Lombardi Doll
VS
The Great Vorelli & Hugo
Referee Madam Estrella
Livia the witch vs. Melissa Strickland the witch.
With Clara Motensen as the referee.
Mud or jello optional.
Satoris vs. The Master.
Winner gets to rule one acre of land for about a week.
Prince of Space Vs Krankor…….
Nevermind. Weapons are useless against Prince.
We’ll be wanting clean matches, though. So be on the lookout for Umberto Scali attempting to pressure any participants into throwing their bouts.
Gulfax vs. The Blood Beast
Old Man Crenshaw vs. The Creeping Terror. (Not the fastest-moving bout, true.)
Old Man Crenshaw? Oh, noes–you just opened the gateway to sumo matches.
I can’t do this. I have SO much to do today.
Since you brought him up…
Old Man Crenshaw vs. The Darn Smoochers Old Man from ATTACK OF THE the EYE CREATURES.
It would have to be a shotgun duel, of course. The contest would be to see which one could repeatedly brandish their weapon in the most threatening but still comic fashion. Extra points for using the word “dern”.
Lol. Me too……but, Ready for some football guy vs. Dave Walker (Attack of the Giant Leeches).
Ok. Gotta go now.
Weeellll, one more
Dr. Carlo Lombardi vs. The Great Vorelli.
Okay, I’m really done.
(Great WDT idea to whoever thought of it)
Inept Magicians Match:
Merlin
vs.
Jack Frost
Winner gets a new magic cloak, free of Ensure stains, and a cookie.
…not till they deal with the run-in and beatdown from Caedmon and Vanir…
Angry Old Man Grocer from The Brute Man vs. Cranky Old Man Handkerchief-Wearing Porch Sitter from Hired. Sponsored by Geritol.
Yessir, and let’s echo peteplumsdriverslicense’s heartfelt lament: “I can’t do this. I have SO much to do today.”
But, anyway: Jan in the Pan vs. The Thing That Couldn’t Die (haven’t figured out the logistics yet, but this would be the match of the evening); a tag-team match between the Hobgoblins and the turtle aliens from Laserblast; and finally, the Mincing Mushroom Guy from Jack Frost vs. The Bluebird of Happiness from the Magic Voyage of Sinbad in a Russo-Finnish grudge match.
Jan in the Pan Vs. Gideon Drew in a head to head match (please don’t hurt me).
Winner gets to tell those dang kids to get the hell out of their yard.
Mike’s Urkel vs Mike’s Torgo
Bigfoot vs Trumpy
Worm guy from Squirm vs the Incredible Melting Man
40 year old Teenagers from Outer space vs 40 year old teenagers from Teenage Caveman
For a truly slow bout, I’d pit Torgo vs Creeping Terror.
(Announcer) Wait! What’s this? Everyone has been turned into …little dog biscuits! What’s this? The referee in the ring has mutated… it’s Lodac!
This one’s a little bit “outside the box”… the hypnotic droning of the Bluebird of Happiness vs the somnolent kantele strumming from “Day the Earth Froze”. It would be hard to referee this match, or decide a winner, since everyone in earshot would be in a coma.
Merlin from “Santa Claus” vs Merlin from “Merlin’s Shop of Mystical Wonders”.
Winners take on 40 year old college students from Ring of Terror.
Paper Chase Guy and Einstein vs. All the Sidehackers
One more. The Crawling Hand vs. The Crawling Eye. It’s a crawl-off. Gonna be a slow one, folks; you might want to bring some knitting to pass the time.
Deeja (from Robot Holocaust) vs. Natalie (Werewolf) in a diction battle to the death, or when one can no longer form a complete sentence.
The wrestling women from “Racket Girls” vs the catfighting castaways from “Spider Island” vs the brawling brides of “Manos” in an all-out cage match free-for-all!!
The pervy, knife-wielding cowboy from “Thing That Couldn’t Die” vs the pervy, knife-wielding porn addict from “Sinister Urge”.
Russo-Finnish Bra and Panties Match:
Louhi
vs
Baba Yaga
For the prestigious Wicked Witch of the Wild North Championship!
First 1500 in attendance gets a Birdleg Tree bobblehead and a Sampo!
Everyone else gets a barf bag!
Don’t forget the Bolarians! Or else they could be cheerleaders.
For the GLOW Champeenship Women’s Wrasslin’ Belt (hubba hubba) – Silver Morgan vs Livia the Witch
The GLOW undercard because Servo desperately wanted it – Tanya vs Leslie (In Mud)
Time filling superstar against jobber match – Steve Reeves Hercules vs The One they call Tim
For the InterMonsternental Belt – Gorgo vs Godzilla
Finally, your main event – The Brute Man vs The Indestructible Man
I’ll go with Babs from “…spider island” vs. Peaches from “Racket Girls”. A must see on any fight card.
Let’s not forget the midget wrestling bout: Toby from The Corpse Vanishes Vs. Imp from The Undead.

The Young Couple from “Are You Ready For Marriage” vs. Gilbert from “A Case of Spring Fever” –

Nicki Minaj vs. Cardi B, oh wait.
Cheesesteak vs. Hercules
Valaria vs. Natalie from Werewolf in a Battle of the Accents
