DEJ Experience District
Ask the Experience: DEJ guys field questions about Holly, chowder, best pants
Jul 8, 2008 - 1:14:21 PM


By Dusty, Eric, Jeremy & Kevin, the DEJ Experience

Alright, we DEJ clowns are back with another Ask the Experience. There was a bit of a drought in our "Official Ask the Experience" thread on the PWTorch.com VIP Forum, so please feel free to get inside our heads, learn a little bit more about us, and see if we know as much as we claim to by asking us questions either in that thread or by e-mailing us at theaudioexperience@gmail.com. And if you think our sense of humor is stupid here, just listen to The Audio Experience!

Harold2K8 asks: what is man chowder

Dusty responds: I am a big fan of ordering clam chowder with my dinner when I go out to a fancy smancy restaurant. (Fancy smancy in Fond du Lac meaning anything above McDonald's.) I can only assume man chowder is a delicious blend of clam chowder and manliness. Manliness, of course, being the gasoline that makes the world run. Or something.

Eric replies: First off, we had to use this question as-is: No capitalization, no punctuation. That, combined with the content of the question, was just too much to pass up. To answer your question, I hear Ashley is taking some time off...

Jeremy answers: Man chowder is what makes the world go around. If there was ever a shortage we would all suffer unless we were dead already and then it really wouldn't matter to any of us I suppose. (Editor's note: Damn, this stuff really must make the world turn, if two of us answered that way. Get George W. Bush on the phone at the G8 Summit; I think we've solved global warming!

Kevin's response: That is just short hand for Manhattan Clam Chowder. I'm not a fan of Manhattan Chowder because I prefer the New England variety of chowder. If I were making some Manhattan Clam Chowder, I'd use some Quahog clam, browned bacon, finely chopped onion, finely chopped celery, chopped bell pepper, diced carrot, minced garlic, bay leaves, dried oregano leaves, sprigs of fresh thyme, crushed red pepper, potatoes - peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes, chicken stock, a can of whole tomatoes, chopped parsley leaves, Freshly ground black pepper and salt.

SteveMHW asks: What are your favorite Bob Holly matches? It just dawned on me that this stellar athlete has been on the main roster for 14+ years, and I was wondering if he's had many memorable matches/moments to show for it.

Dusty responds: The following is a list of all the good matches Bob Holly has had in his career:










Eric replies: Look, you're talking to a guy who brags about winning a WWF Racing Team T-shirt on the WWF 900 Hotline trivia game. You're talking to a guy who had Bob Holly's mullet in middle school. You're talking to a guy who wouldn't wish unemployment on anyone. Except Bob Holly. He must have something on Vince McMahon. Or else McMahon owes him money. For as much of a "bad-ass" as this piece of garbage is, you never hear about him being a good influence or locker-room leader backstage. Heck, he has so much respect that rookies steal and wreck his rental car, knowing all they're gonna get is a punch in the face. Oooooh. All of that being said, my favorite Bob Holly match is my butt and his face. Which is weird, because he has buck teeth. You figure it out.

Jeremy postulates: My favorite Bob Holly match would be that one where the crowd is half dead. Or it could be the one where he uses the Alabama Slam on his opponent only to lose. Actually, it could be the one where he wears too tight of trunks and has forgotten to dye his hair that a week. Wait, I know, it is the one where he.... OK, you get the point. My favorite Bob Holly match will be his last match. Hopefully ending with him being squashed by a cross-dressing man with the use of a butterscotch sucker to the temple.

Kevin's response: My favorite match he was involved in was when he was defeated by his ex-partner Bart Gunn in the Brawl 4 All tournament. Nothing like seeing a bully get a beating he deserves that pleases me more.

A Pair of Pants asks: Which wrestlers had had the coolest tights or pants ever in the business? Don't tell me anything about trunks or the abomination that is Brutus Beefcake cut-ups. I just wanna know your opinion on pants so I can tell where you stand.

Dusty responds: Brutus' tights make him look like he survived a Three Mile Island nuclear disaster! Yeah, Gorilla, you think he used his scissors on his trunks before the match?! To answer your question, though, it's a tie. Win goes to anyone who has ever wrestled in Zubaz.

Eric replies: I always appreciated Diamond Dallas Page wrestling in Guess? Jeans. This started happening after Kimberly the Diamond Booty Babe Doll took her $13 million she won playing Bingo (well, $6.6 million, after DDP started spending it) and ran. DDP was broke and despondent, and he sold his wrestling tights just to get by. The next time we saw him, he was wrestling in a pair of Guess Jeans, complete with Mom Ass. This, of course, led to the Mysterious Benefactor angle that has never been solved, but the Guess Jeans would appear more frequently than necessary for a man who had a money mark backing him.

Jeremy says: There is no doubt that while in the WWF, Rick Rude had the greatest tights in the history of the business. He had his own face on them at one point. Later on they would change as he went after different titles. Who can forget having Jake "The Snake" Roberts' wife's face on them? No one, and I mean no one, had or will ever have better tights. As far as trunks go, does Mickie James' skirt-and-tights look count? If so, hubba hubba, daddy like.

Kevin's response: I don't know about the best pair of pants ever, but currently Armando Estrada has no peer for the quality of his pants. They're a nice pair of plain black slacks that are accented nicely with slim belt loops and a white belt. His accompanying boots that have a white bib near the pant cuff are perfect along with the black trim around the outerparts of the boot. They are always pressed and nary a wrinkle to complain about. They aren't too baggy or too long. As a final note, you can't go wrong with the simple color combination of black and white because it never goes out of style and certainly matches.

TimorousVince asks: Here's a question - I canceled my subscription to the Torch about 10 months ago. Here we are a year later, and the Audio Experience still doesn't have it's own little sub-forum. Why not? I signed up for a single month, telling myself that if this does not occur within the next 30 days, I will once again cancel. This is not so much a question as it is a demand, I guess.

Dusty responds: The solution, Vince, is to send an email to Wade and let him know the only reason he is receiving a check from you for the month is because of the DEJ guys. And if you ever decide to re-up again, do it again. And tell your friends to do it. And so on. I'm dead serious.

Eric replies: I'm not trying to toot our collective horn, and I'm just going to piggyback off Dusty's answer: We've seen more times than you can count on one hand people say they subscribe to the Torch because of us. That's very flattering. Perhaps recognition from The Man himself with our own message board zone would flatter us to the point of making us blush. Keep e-mailing Wade, and maybe someday we'll turn a bright shade of red.

Jeremy answers: As Donita Sparks once said, "We are down with the people on the lateral movement." Really, we have no idea. So, demand all you want; the fate of our zone rests in the hand of everyone's favorite psycho vegan, Wade Keller. In between soy lattes and strained cucumber soup with a dash of pine needle hash, he can get back to your request through e-mail. Feel free and contact him at pwtorch@gmail.com. So good luck and start the movement strong, my friend.

Kevin's response: Ask the powers that be. We've been asking the same question for the same length of time. Thank you for your continued support.
