PAX East 2016: Dan And Alex Join Kaiju Big Battel

Two of PAX Wrestling's "finest" stepped into the squared circle for their first official "wrestling" match.

Apr. 28 2016

Posted by: Dan

In This Episode:

Kaiju

Episode Notes:

During PAX East, Dan, Alex, Ubisoft's Eric Pope, and free agent Aaron Trites (formerly of Harmonix) had a chance to participate in an all-referee battle royale for Kaiju Big Battel. The rules are simple: get your mustache torn off, get eliminated from the match.

Video footage provided by @EricKanius and @smithinabox from ENC 3000.

PS: Audio on mobile versions should now be working! -Drew

@allodude: That was the coolest bit. Honestly, after watching them prepare, I thought the action was going to look at lot better than it actually did. I remember the glass bottle stunts and superkick stuff being much more impressive.

I said this during Paxamania and I will say it again. The only way this thing can end is with Dan somehow winding up in a match at WrestleMania.

What restaurant is this taking place at? It looks DOPE.

ONCE Lounge and Music hall in Summerville. They opened up their doors at 6:00 and let people go upstairs to get some drinks and socialize for a bit (I was at the table you can see through the door when they were behind the bar). Before we got downstairs to watch Kaiju battle each other for three hours!

It was a dope venue.

@sil3n7: @valeo: @crazybagman:

There's no need to be a blast at parties. Chicks don't dig that, or grown men dressing up and "fighting" each other in a ring for fun. Think of me as the slightly arrogant, indifferent guy, sitting in a corner of the party, meanwhile every lady there is brimming with anticipation that I may show interest in them. Kind of like Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice. With that said, I don't want wrestling to be the cornerstone of my conversation. It'd be detrimental to my image.

I hope that explains my first comment better, without sounding too pompous.

Not to condescend, I’m just so much better than wrestling.

And sarcasm.

(I'm joking, of course! I've just never been a huge fan of wrestling. I don't understand it's appeal, or the correlation between it and gaming. I'm not upset about all the wrestling talk on GB, or this video, but I guess it's all just lost on me.)

It's Wrestling With Shadows, but in the best (and worst) way possible.

I just want to know what was going through Eric and Chelsea's minds as they were filming this.

@Erock Hopefully you were well compensated for being in the middle of that madness with a camera (maybe at least someone bought you a drink).

This kind of thing makes me understand the appeal of Wrestling. This seems like great dumb fun.

And somehow, Alex being followed into the bar as he takes off his mask was something that seemed straight out of a movie.

Giant Bomb, exposing the business since 2016. Great job guys, especially Alex who felt the most animated of this group yay-hoos. Something about that mask seems to bring out the wolf in him. I don't blame y'all for marking the fuck out at the end. This looked like a ton of fun for you guys and it also makes Kaiju Big Battel seem pretty cool in my eyes. Thanks for the video.

Haha well, not a wrestling fan myself but the video was fun enough, looked like a blast too. The sort of thing that makes me "get it" a little bit.

The camera work is pretty accurate to the current WWE style.
