Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Lucky us, as Unfair Park found itself this afternoon at the Best Buy on LBJ Freeway and Midway Road, where Jay Lethal (also known as "Black Machismo"), Curry Man and Shark Boy were signing stuff for the interested and attracting the attention of the curious. "These are wrestlers?” one shopper wondered. “Like, with what?” Said one Best Buy-er: “TNA.” Which prompted some laughter and more staring. We had more or less the same reaction.
Turns out, the threesome -- not superheros, shame -- were also promoting their appearance at the House of Blues tomorrow night, for which tickets aren't cheap ($30 to $80, how's that possible?). Interesting theatrics, though, beneath the big box's fluorescent lights: Curry Man, who kept bowing to fans trying to shake his hand or and spoke in terribly phony broken Japanenglish, told Unfair Park he’s going to do a “big power dance” tomorrow night. Because “I bring flavor to, uh, TNA, you understand?” Sure, but do you know where the printers are? Great, thanks. --Courtney Clenney
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
