Following The Buzzards In The Afterlife! The Unexpected Passing of Bray Wyatt!

Are You F'N KIDDING ME!!!!!! Just days after the passing of "The Funker" Terry Funk,Bray Wyatt passes away.

This was very very unexpected and shocking. We knew Bray was,a suffering from health issues,but no one,and I mean No One,expected him to die. 

Bray Wyatt joined the WWE in 2010 and was called Husky Harris. But years later would be repackaged as the Backwoods Cult Master,Bray Wyatt,leader of the Wyatt Family (one member being the late Luke Harper aka Brodie Lee,who passed away years ago). 

Years after that,he changed gimmicks once again,this time as Uncle Bray,host of the Firefly Funhouse,which was a parody of a Children's Show. However,the gimmick was actually 2 in 1,as Uncle Bray had an alter ego,called The Fiend,a Demonic Wrestler who wrestled in red lights.

But that's not all,Wyatt was part of a Wrestling Family. He was the older brother of WWE Superstar Bo Dallas,the Son of Mike "I.R.S." Rotunda,the Nephew of Barry Windham,And The Grandson of Blackjack Mulligan. 

Bray suffered a Heart Attack at the age of 36. He will be missed.

Update and Taking a Small Vacation (At least till I get a new computer)

Hey there Toonsters,

I thought I give an a quick update. You are wondering why I haven't post anything that much as of late (aside from the Discovery Family Retrospective/Rant, which I was getting to the good part with The Hub), is because of one thing. As you can see, the computer I am using is getting old and getting slow, especially since Windows 8, along with Internet Explorer and Windows Defender, became out of date, ripe for viruses and spyware to crash it. I recently installed Avast to keep the viruses at bay. That is why I didn't reinstall everything in my previous factory reset, especially Pinnacle Studio 16, which is much more advance than Windows Movie Maker. 

Long story short, I will be taking an extended vacation until I get a new computer that has Windows 10 and a Windows Defender that is not out of date. In the meantime, my brother from another planet, Stefan, will carry on until I get back. Don't worry, just like Frosty the Snowman, I may wave goodbye, but don't you cry, I will be back again, very soon. Stay frosty, my friends. Oh, and one more thing. Godspeed to Terry Funk, one of the toughest wrestlers that ever come out of the state of Texas. He may be middle aged and crazy, but he was as tough as they come, especially having rivalries with the likes of Ric Flair and especially fellow hardcore legend Mick Foley. Godspeed, you crazy, old Texas man. Be at peace, Funk Man.

Saraba da (Farewell), for now.

The Big Adventure Ends With A Move To The Big Playhouse In The Sky - R.I.P. Pee Wee

A few days ago,We lost one of the Biggest Icons of the 80's and 90's,Paul Reubens,better known as Pee Wee Herman. Pee Wee died of Cancer. He was 70.

Pee Wee Herman was one of the most Iconic names of the 80's and 90's and many kids and adults from that era enjoyed his work. From his Various Guest Appearances to his Stage Show with the Late Phil Hartman to his hit Children's Show,Pee Wee's Playhouse. He even had 2 Movies - Pee Wee's Big Adventure and Big Top Pee Wee. Though Pee Wee's Big Adventure ended up being the more well known and more commercially successful of the 2. 

I used to Watch Pee Wee's Playhouse a lot when I was a kid,I even had the Action Figures. However,in the Mid-90's Pee Wee had some Real Life "Issues". Despite this,We will all remember Pee Wee fondly,as the fun,child-like man who entertained millions.

We at The Retro Rebellion morn the loss of Pee Wee Herman  He will be missed.

A Jazzy Crooner to the Last - RIP Tony Bennett

Tony Bennett was, without a shadow of a doubt, one of the greatest singers in all of history. Known for his style with Jazz and Pop, Bennett was a swingin' kind of guy. He was not just a singer, but he was a hero when he fought in the final years of World War II.

With achievements such as 20 Grammy Awards, a Lifetime Achievement Award and 2 Daytime Emmys, Bennett was a pop culture icon. So much so, he collaborated and sang with other famous people such as Aretha Franklin, Queen Latifah, Willie Nelson and his last one ever did and did it multiple times in his final years was with Lady Gaga. And yes, he sang with the Muppets a long time ago.

Bennett passed away at the age of 96 after a 7 year bout with Alzheimer's Disease, which prompt him to retire after all these years.

Next to Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett's style of music will live on forever. Godspeed, Mr. Bennett. Be at peace, you old crooner you.

If you want to know the rest of his history, look him up on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Bennett


I will leave you with one of many times he collabed with Lady Gaga. Short but sweet, and you will get the idea of how much a legend Tony Bennett truly is. Until next time, stay frosty, my friends.



This has been a Retro Rebellion Special Report.

Jason's Gallery - Sexy Mai Valentine

Here I am once again to show you my latest artwork, as I perfect my craft in the world of digital art. This time around, we go into the world of Yu-Gi-Oh!, particularly one of my favorite characters besides Yugi, Joey and Seto Kaiba, and it is our lovely Harpy Queen herself, Mai Valentine. Without further ado, BEHOLD! Ms. Mai Valentine in all of her sexiful glory!


If you are wondering what was underneath all that leather, there is your answer! Sexiful to the last!

It isn't perfect, especially trying to make it a little bigger and more clearer, but it is what it is. Speaking of which, here is a comparison between this lovely fanart and the original image of Mai which I used as the basis of it.


If this was done in a magazine, you would easily spot the differences in this comparison.

Hope you enjoyed this one. Hopefully when I do get a better computer (and a mouse that doubles as a pen), It will be perfected to the max. Until next time, stay frosty, my friends.
