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!
I’m going to go way out on a ledge here and propose a tag-team bout pitting Prof. Neon and Heathcliff against Dr. Forester and TV’s Frank.

This has been a GREAT topic. Now it’s time for some thoughtful reconsideration. I’d like to commemorate Allison Hayes’ FOUR MST appearances with a very special, $250 per ticket Pay-Per-View.
The magnificent Miss H, in a tasteful knock-off of Marinda’s outfit in Deathstalker, wrestling one of the invisible warriors Ator took on so bravely in Cave Dwellers.
For about thirty minutes.

I was going to suggest Jonathon Haze vs Allison Hayes, but Corman already gave us that in “Gunslinger”, when Little Man attacked Erica Page.

Alternately, we could pit Dr. Brandon (Teenage Werewolf) against Yuri (Werewolf). Just don’t let Yuri bring any prehistoric werewolf skulls into the ring.

I think the ultimate battle would be between Lt. Lamont in Space Mutiny and the carnival barker in The Incredibly Strange Things. Admittedly, neither one puts up much of a fight, but they always come back for more.

Mike and the Bots calling the Escape 2000 reporter a vampire becomes marginally ironic…or something…when you take into account that per the IMDB her name is “Moon”…”Moon Grey,” in fact. Which…really sounds more like a werewolf name, now that I think about it. :-)

completely utterly and totally off-topic
I just happened to remember this question that I keep forgetting to ask.
During the Joel years, one of the hallway doors, when opening or closing, made a noise that sounded like “PIZZA!”
What was that all about?
Thank you. :-)

I went back & had a listen, and no, what the door actually says is
“Joel loves movies and sometimes pokes gentle Mr Rogersly supportive affectionate fun at them whereas Mike hates movies and all who love them”.
Huh.
