In Kaiju Big Battel danger can happen.
For the vast majority of sane readers the opening sentence to this article makes almost no sense. Worse yet, the syntax is wrong. But it is the perfect summary of Kaiju Big Battel, a rambunctious combination of pop culture parodies that lampoons a broad range of subjects and provides a delightful spectacle.

What is Kaiju Big Battel?

Kaiju is the term for the Japanese giant monster movies, like Godzilla, Rodan, and Gamera. Now I am sure you've wasted many brain cells watching these cinematic classics created by men wearing huge foam rubber suits waddling through miniature cardboard cities.
Now imagine combining it with Smackdown.
Oh yeah.
Kaiju Big Battel is the creation of Boston area art students who have made a hilariously compelling, cartoonish extravaganza that skewers both American and Japanese culture simultaneously. The website and literature is filled with 'Engrish' and the running storylines and many of the characters are parodies of pro wrestling. During the bouts, most of the characters are introduced with Japanese language videos. And the major villain has his minions hand out literature that mimics religious pamphlets.
The combat occurs in a steel cage among cardboard buildings. Sometimes helium balloons are placed inside the buildings, flitting upwards when the buildings are flattened in the brawl. The combat is reasonably athletic, with flips, throws and the less cumbersome monsters leaping from the top of the steel cage. Sometimes the action even goes out of the ring The immediate area around the cage is the 'danger zone.' Spectators there can expect to be sprayed with toxic waste or battle debris. The last fight I attended one of the danger zone spectators (a petite and very attractive lady) was taken hostage by one of the bad guys.
The cast of characters are far more colorful than any the WWF can create. The ringside announcer is the aptly named Louden Noxious. The main villain is Doctor Cube, who wears a white cubic helmet with a frowning visage that resembles an embittered smiley face. He creates grotesque minions (who, like the sinister Doctor, wear surgical scrubs) and has a menagerie of monsters who do battle with the various heroes, rouges and oddballs of the league.
The actors do not break character. At one point later in the evening, I leaned over to look at a discarded prop- a toxic waste barrel used by one of the monsters. The referee (himself a major character) yelled out, "Don't touch it. It's toxic waste." Before the show Cube's spastic minions staggered through the audience handing out his literature.
Their latest battle was at the BCA Cyclorama New Years Eve. When I arrived with my friends at 9, there was a fair sized crowd milling about. The last KBB event I attended (the 'Roxy Ruckus') had, according to local media. over 1,000 crammed in. This event seemed much smaller and I would be surprised if there were over 500.
Before I describe the battle I want to briefly digress to voice a complaint. The schedule read complimentary beverages from 9-10. So we waited in line for your booze. The organizers handed out tickets to be exchanged for the alcohol. (If you wanted more than you had tickets, you could pay cash.) As you can well imagine people swarmed the bar and customers up front ordered multiple drinks. Naturally the time ran out long before many people who had been waiting patiently in line could be served. They should have honored tickets for those who had been waiting in line, or enforced a limit on drinks per person. That was poorly planned.
So much for the complaint. On to the spectacle.
