r/ObscureMedia

Please don't be too harsh if this doesn't really fit, I'm not super familiar with this world of lost/rare media.

I found this DVD at a Goodwill Bins the other day and it basically doesn't exist anywhere on the internet except EXTREMELY depricated websites. You can't find a hard copy to buy on either Amazon or on Ebay. I thought it was really interesting and incredibly unusual subject matter.

Pretty stinkin unusual piece of media that is crazy rare.

I have pictures of it anybody are interested in seeing (since I can't attached them to the post). Has anybody seen anything like this before?

People like to throw the word "Obscure" around when talking about certain Adult Swim shows, which are debatable, but this one certainly takes the cake.

Created by Co Creator of Metalocalypse Tommy Blancha, Mongo Wrestling Alliance is an adult wrestling comedy about a hotshot named Rusty Kleberkuh who joins the MWA after graduating college to avenge his grandfather, who got screwed over by the Booker of the company. Rusty's on a quest to become #1, with the support of his family and friends in the business, they go on crazy adventures and fight the Booker and his henchmen.

Having 10 episodes, 11 mins each, The show aired on the Adult Swim App for free from January to July 2011. Blancha originally wanted a Season 2 with possibly more Wrestling guest stars, but was unfortunately canceled after one season, Ending on a cliffhanger.

If you're a fan of Metalocalypse or Wrestling (mostly wrestling), I'd recommend this show, the episodes are relatively short so you can binge this quickly, The episodes are free on the A.S. website.

Apparently, A.S. called this their 2nd worst show ever made, which I disagree with (There's plenty of worst stuff that aired than this).

It's gotten some laughs out of me, I like the characters, and the Voice acting is surprisingly good. But it's not everyone's cup of tea, and The fights switch to 3D which can be jarring.

A movie based on the comic of the same name by Wildstorm, Disney originally planned to release this film under their Buena Vista Home Video label, until Later that year when Wildstorm was bought out by DC. Not wanting to promote A rival companies IP, the film was scrapped in North America. The film would later see a limited release in Europe by Paramount.

This show's a precursor to Rocky & Bullwinkle in a lot of ways when I think about it: it's about two anthropomorphic animals, one savvy and the other dull-witted, and their multi-part serialized tales where they stumble into and out of a series of increasingly ridiculous situations. It has quite a lot of historical purpose and ran for quite a while: three seasons with 156 episodes between 1957 and 1960, yet it rarely, if ever gets acknowledged by Warner Bros. (no I'm not calling them Skydance and you cannot make me), and recordings of the episodes themselves are in noticeably worn, crappy condition.

I say it's a bit of a hidden gem of a series - go check it out on YouTube or the Internet Archive if you can
