Wrestling legend Jushin Thunder Liger could do just about anything and that includes throwing out the ceremonial first pitch at a baseball game. Unfortunately for Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters mascot Frep The Fox, Liger’s throw is a little too inside.
Tempers flare and the two colorful characters have an impromptu match, complete with chops and surfboards. It may not be Nolan Ryan vs Robin Ventura, but it’s still a good little scrap.
Jake The Snake Roberts has previously suffered through some Wrestlecrap and is back for more. This time he watches and reacts to Ric Flair in an insane asylum, Janitor Jim Duggan, David Arquette as WCW World Champion, and more.

George Lowe, the voice behind Space Ghost, passed away recently. For many late-night television viewers, Space Ghost Coast-to-Coast was a bizarrely funny cartoon/talk show that directly influenced countless off-beat and strange shows that would eventually make up Adult Swim.
But did you know that Macho Man Randy Savage was Spacey’s grandpa, Leonard Ghostal? It’s true! Mach, sporting a big, bushy grey beard, even interviewed Raven Simone. Sort of. Kind of. The show is a little hard to explain, so just watch for yourself. Oh, yeah! Dig it!
It has been a year since Sting retired from professional wrestling. While seemingly no one ever truly retires in wrestling, Steve Borden has stayed away from the ring since his final match in AEW.
