The Legends of Wrestling - Classy Freddie Blassie: Listen, You Pencil Neck GeeksClassy Freddie Blassie was universally acknowledged as one of the most hated heels in wrestling history. Freddie really knew how to antagonize the fans how to get heat. Death threats were frequent, enraged fans stabbed him twenty one times, and he was even doused with acid.

Classy Freddie Blassie was universally acknowledged as one of the most hated heels in wrestling history. Freddie really knew how to antagonize the fans -- how to get heat. Death threats were frequent, enraged fans stabbed him twenty-one times, and he was even doused with acid. Undeterred, Blassie just took the action up a level. He reveled in being the heel. It was commonplace to see him biting his opponents and then spitting out their blood. Blassie would routinely file his teeth during interviews. His matches in Los Angeles' Olympic Stadium brought him to the attention of Hollywood. Freddie's style and unpredictability made him a natural for the medium, and he became one of the biggest draws in the wrestling business. In the early '60s, he was invited to wrestle in Japan. Blassie both horrified and mesmerized sedate Japanese society.At seventeen, Freddie made his wrestling debut in a carnival. Unhappy with his choice of occupation, his family persuaded him to get a real job, and for a while he worked as a meatcutter. But after serving in the Navy in World War II, Freddie returned to wrestling. Here he picked up his catch phrase: pencil neck geek.
Early in his career, Blassie wrestled for Jess McMahon, and would later work for both his son, Vincent James McMahon, and his grandson, Vincent Kennedy McMahon, the current owner of World Wrestling Entertainment. (TM) When his days in the ring ended, Classy Freddie Blassie became the manager of heels, transferring to a whole new generation of wrestlers the style, moves, and ring knowledge that had made him a legend of wrestling.
Released just prior to his death, Legends of Wrestling: Classy Freddie Blassie contains vibrant tales of his days in wrestling with the likes of Hulk Hogan, Killer Kowalski, and the Iron Sheik. He frankly chronicles his dealings with the wrestling fraternity and the promoters, even recounting the infamous boxer vs. wrestler match with Muhammad Ali, who was managed by Blassie.
His out-of-the-ring stories are equally compelling. Freddie details his countless sexual exploits, and his three marriages. He reflects on the cult status that he gained after his song Pencil Neck Geek rocketed to the top of the Dr. Demento Show play list. He recounts his touching relationship with comedian Andy Kaufman, who cast him in Breakfast with Blassie -- an underground classic in which Blassie uttered: What the hell ever happened to the human race?
Added to this edition is an epilogue, recounting Freddie's last days and his unforgettable funeral.

Best karaoke speaker!
Style: X3206 with One Woofer, Style: X3206 with One Woofer
I was looking to buy a karaoke speaker and all were underpowered or overpriced. This went on sale ~100 and for that price it is THE perfect karaoke speaker.
It has dual mic inputs for duets, (4) voice effects, voice echo. Each mic had it's own volume adjustment, there's also adjustment for echo, bass and treble. These are all knobs which i like a lot. The volume is push button which i don't like and would have preferred a knob also . Still, it's a lot of fun for karaoke!
What I Iike a lot is the line out. Why? If I feel it needs more power, I can connect to any other speaker with a 3.5mm input. To me this is better than TWS systems that only pair with the same model(s).
Speaking of power, it is ok for the size and price. It will sound good indoors at your home or backyard. It may not be the best for a larger hall. But it does have that line-out jack that will let you connect to (almost) any other speaker you want.
What I have found lacking so far is the battery life. Fully charged, it was used over BT connection for music at ~50% volume for maybe 1.5 hours with lights and for podcasts at ~15% volume, no lights for 6 .5 hours before it died. So the 14 hour claim must be an exaggeration or only under very specific conditions.
Also, bass is adequate, but it's not a 'booming' bass but you can tell it's there. Overall volume is good but will also depend on the device connected.

Great for Karaoke Nights and Small Parties!
Style: X3206 with One Woofer, Style: X3206 with One Woofer
We used the speaker for a recent get-together with around 30 people, and it did not disappoint. The karaoke features and mic input were a big hit, and the party lights added a fun touch. It's super easy to use, and the sound quality—especially the deep bass—is impressive for its size.
One thing I really appreciated is the audio-in and audio-out options. If you have a DJ setup, it's super convenient to connect the speaker directly to your deck—no hassle at all. Bluetooth connection took a bit longer than expected to pair, but nothing too bad. Once connected, it worked smoothly the whole night.
Great buy for anyone looking for a solid party speaker with versatility!

Terrible sound quality and bass
Style: X5206 with Two Woofers
Sounds cheap, didn’t come with a charger, and the bass does not vibrate at all, so I bought got a jbl 110 the next day. The jbl is a thousand times better, the bass blew me away, and the sound is very high quality. Don’t waste your time and money on it get a jbl

Turn me up turbo
Style: X3206 with One Woofer
I bought this for my performances assuming well of the brand (I’m a musician). My biggest complaint is that I wish it were louder. There have been performances where they’ve asked me to turn the volume up and surely enough it’s already at its loudest volume 🥴. The battery life is pretty good, it’s never died on me and I’ve had 4hr gigs before. The light is also a nice touch (and can turn on and off per your request of hitting a button). It makes a sound when you turn it on and off which can also be muted if you can catch it in time. Pretty easy for me to carry from place to place. Im not sure I’d recommend it to a musician but depending on what it is you need it for- it’s truly not bad. For the price it’s pretty average and until I can invest in a louder option, it gets the job done pretty okay.

Not bad
Style: X5206 with Two Woofers
A good speaker, wish it connect to my tv without an audio cord. But the sound is not bad. It’s good for the price.
