Thanks for the link. My son has really enjoyed watching this short.
hahahaha, I followed your link to the short and found this link to a REAL Tow Mater Monster Truck if you guys haven’t already seen it. Pretty funny!

We saw a bunch of these toys this morning at Target. Cute, but not worth the price! $15.99 each for the punching McQueen & Mater — OUCH!
Nice, fun, and funny short. I liked it. But, just wondering, will they make Captain Collision? I hope so. Aside from I Screamer and Rastacarian, he was one of my favorites. I also hope they make the announcers, too.
Are they going to make Captain Collision and the announcers?
Love it. I swear it seemed too “short”. I guess we have officially chalked this one up as our second favorite to Tokyo Mater and REALLY look forward to the toys. I have seen the big punching Mater and McQueen at TRU, but want to hold out for some more scale type versions. Glad we were able to DVR it. By the way, I love using technology nouns as verbs… 🙂
Yes we also taped it DVR style. We have the DVR series manager set to automatically record every Maters Tales episode so that we have them all on DVR. Just wondering why they haven’t shown Heavy Metal Mater here yet? Why would they make one short in a different language and not show it here but show the other 6 out of 7?
Anyone know why they have only made Heavy Metal Mater in French thus far?
(MET: it’s in English on Itunes UK and I believe available to watch in English on Disney UK).
I still want to know where the diecast 1:55 toys are from “El Materdor”!!
Now that all 7 shorts have aired will these shorts finally be on iTunes in the USA now? I hope.
Just watched it with the kiddies and they want a re-run. My 3 year old was so happy to see this short. Will it air again anytime soon? Thanks and goodnight.
(MET: Not for a while, they might post it on the Disney Channel website, we’ll let you know if they do so).
Too funny Sandy. We just watched as well and John ( 6 year old son) made me replay it twice.
I have to admit I had serious reservations about going down this wrestling route but I was pleasantly suprised.
It was alot of fun. I want that referee pitty and the Mia and Tia were really cute. “Wanna Kick them
ladies”. LOL. I like when they make Mater a ladies truck.
The new releases from this short should provide much playtime for the children.
John got a really big kick out of Mater as a little kid, the referee pitty and more.
The Tormentor- The wrastler of disaster- just too much. I beleive Pixar and Disney have done a great job entertaining the children again. As well as some big kids too.
I think our digital cable on-screen guide showed 2 more airings on Sunday…
How can we Europeans watch the video?? Maybe YouTube tomorrow?
