"STEP INTO MY JUNGLE, B*TCH!"
I've made one previous passim mention of Superbeast. Out of the ring, in human form, Rob Steele's actually quite a nice guy (he fronts a skew-metal band called Süperbëast; it's unclear how much of their popularity is bleedover from the XWF). In the ring, with a tusked muzzle and cloven hooves, he's the Corpsegrinder, the Lord of the Dead (both of which have been the titles of Süperbëast albums, albeit the former was spelled Korpsgryndrr), the Nova with No Heart, the kind of gladiator who would have the catchphrase that opened this post.
After filming of the spot, Rob suggests they go over to Juggz and get the nova-size plate of buffalo wings, but Gary the production manager points out the potential for a kayfabe breach, given that the two are currently being put over as bitter enemies.

stolisomancer once used this incident to explain to me the sports-entertainment concept of "selling" a move, which I'd seen referenced in various mostly-MOT-related contexts (like a mention that Raccoon City no-sells Jill's escape in PJ's BioDread's infamous "Nemesis", or a gag in which jameshoward's altered ego the Multimediocre Knight oversold a punch so hard he exploded).

[Aberrant] Rob "Superbeast" Steele hits Duke "Core" Baron with a dumpster in a segment filmed for Monday Mega-Massacre to set up an angle for May's Hong Kong Karnage pay-per-view.
