Weapons! Flipped Cars! Blurred Out Chaos! Nobody Does Road Rage Brawls Quite Like Long Island

ECW! ECW! ECW!!! That reference may go over the head of some of the younger readers who never witnessed the glory days of ECW when Sandman used to beat motherfuckers senseless with a kendo stick like these two mamalukes appeared to do. But it was absolutely glorious, even when it became the more corporate WWE version.

Man I miss watching ECW. Not just because the gratuitous violence and sexuality transformed me from a boy into a man. But I miss the absolute bonkers crowds that lost their shit for R rated entertainment that felt realer than anything else in wrestling.

Which takes me to my point of this entire blog. I didn't realize how much I missed watching Long Islanders fight until I saw that video. People from there would always bring more brutality to the party like ECW thanks to the glorious concoction of an overcrowded island full of traffic, overpriced houses, cold winters, and full-blown lunatics that would unironically call it Strong Island. 

I feel like we've covered plenty of ridiculous brawls across the country over the last few years as America slowly but surely goes to hell. But Strong Islanders are just built different (😤) to the point I didn't even bat an eyelash watching multiple kendo sticks come out while enough carnage unfolded that I forgot there was a car casually sitting on its side during the entire brouhaha. I admittedly did giggle a bit however watching this dude smoke a butt while trying to keep the peace over a fence shortly after the news blurred out some of the fracas taking place.

So welcome back to the blog, Strong Island. I hope to see more from you during the next 2-3 months as seasonal depression really tightens its grip on our brains to go along with the requisite extra anger towards random strangers that has been popping up around the world the last few years.
