They made a name for themselves by consistently touring over the United States. Rather than signing with a known label, they initially decided to found their own, Chunksaah Records (named after their long-time friend Timmy Chunks), but are now releasing their albums on Epitaph Records.
The Bouncing Souls are one of the best selling and longest lived of the punk bands from New Jersey, following the legacy of previously successful punk bands Adrenalin OD and the Misfits.

They don't quit until they are fully satisfied and they play with heart, ready to take on anyone. The final chorus, with its multiple repetitions of "Ole," reminds us that soccer is something to be enjoyed, and the energy and enthusiasm conveyed in the song is infectious.

@ChrisCrossThaRealistGaming hmmm let's see
1. Crowds in ROH chanted Ole and in NXT
2. Both have white skin and red beard
3. Both have same wrestling boots
4. Have the same moves
So obviously, Sami Zayn isn't El Generico. Most likely Kevin Owens or Serpentico
Matthew L
Rest In Peace El Generico: 1984-2013, he died saving the orphans from the Cartel like a true hero
The Moldy Cheeseburger
He ain't dead. There was a picture floating around the internet that Sami Zayn met his senpai, El Generico.
