Life's a drag for Eva...

Bryan Burnett | 16:49 UK time, Thursday, 10 January 2008

Tonightā€™s show takes in everything from Early Morninā€™ Rain to The Wee Small Hours. The theme is ā€˜parts of the dayā€™ and itā€™s been suggested by Kenny in Glasgow. Weā€™re getting lots of stuff in, so get in quick if you have a suggestion. Leave a comment on the blog or send me an e-mail if you like.

Several people have asked for Barry McGuireā€™s 1965 protest song, Eve of Destruction. I always thought that Eva Destruction would make a good ā€˜dragā€™ name, which funnily enough is the one branch of showbiz Iā€™ve not tried my hand at yet.

Sadly, a quick internet search reveals Iā€™ve been beaten to the name. It seems that Miss Eva Destruction is one of Americaā€™s top lady wrestlers! She claims to be a ā€œSuper Heel, Brawler & Power Wrestlerā€ who has, according to her website, ā€œthe power of a big woman, and the agility of a gymnast.ā€ Mind you if she'd been described as having "the power o' a big wumman" then I would have been really afraid!

I have now wasted a fair chunk of my afternoon looking at lady wrestling sites and have learned that Eva doesnā€™t even have the best name. Others who can be found grunting and grappling in the ring include Erotica Dā€™Vine, Hollie Wood, Violet Flame and my new favourite lady wrestler, Miss Allison Wonderland.
