Kaiju - a mix of monster movies and wrestling. Add porn into the mix and i'm there.

Stuff Monster's Ball
Stuff, February, 2003

Don't let the wacky costumes fool you. Kaiju Big Battel's wrestlers aren't just art students - they're highly trained athletes, to boot. Actually, on second thought, maybe we let the wacky costumes fool us. You win this round, Kaiju!

Should Mothra and the Rock ever produce a child, what would it look like? Stuff got the answer to this vaguely erotic question when we joined the capacity crowd by the caged ring at Manhattan's Roxy nightclub. Our MC for the evening spun a Wheel of Fortune-like device that eventually stopped on RAT TRAP FIGHT - and coincidentally, the required mouse killers were already set up on the mat. From there, the crowd watched as Silver Potato defended his title against Uchu Chu the space bug, all while said traps snapped around them in the night's main event. With a little help from his friends American Beetle(a patriotic bug) and Los Plantanos Brothers(Cuban fruit), Potato emerged victorious. The crowd cheered him on while wiping off slime that sprayed from the stage. Welcome to Kaiju Big Battel, where the wrestlers are as mean as their blood is green.

This homage to pro wrestling and monster movies was the brainchild of an art student by the name of Randy Borden. In 1994, Borden and his pals decided to dress up in creature costumes and fight one another in mini cityscapes at Boston's Revolving Museum.The phenomenon grew from there, and now Kaiju(Japanese for "mysterious beast") has been spreading the broken-English word throughout the East Coast - with a national tour beginning this year. And as far as a Filter stamp of approval is concerned? Hey any event that features a robotic box beating the shit out of a muscled can of chicken-noodle soup is OK in our book. Speaking of Stuff's new novel Robotic Box Beating the Shit Out of a Muscled Can of Chicken-Noodle Soup will be in book stores this spring.
