It Came From YouTube: Bobby Heenan is literally a weasel-faced goof!
5 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Tue, 18 February 2014, 15:45In the mid-90’s WCW would sometimes have “All Nighter” events showing classic NWA/WCW matches hosted by WCW announcers “live”. Bobby Heenan (supposedly) fell asleep during one of these events and the other guys drew a weasel nose and whiskers on him. They proceeded to laugh as if this was the funniest thing in the world. Isn’t this something that college Continue Reading...
It Came From YouTube: It wasn’t The Shockmaster’s fault that he fell (really!).
5 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Mon, 17 February 2014, 19:55Jim Cornette explains on Steve Austin’s podcast how it wasn’t The Shockmaster’s fault that he fell during his grand debut entrance. We can thank WCW’s set construction crew (and maybe Ole Anderson himself) for this memorable moment. Poor Fred. I can’t help but feel bad for him. Not only did he not know about the huge support beam that was Continue Reading...
It Came From YouTube: Goldust no more (for a little while, anyway).
15 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Mon, 17 February 2014, 02:55Dustin Rhodes burns his Goldust outfit because he’s sick of being Goldust (or “The Artist Formerly Known As Goldust”, or whatever). So, he starts to talk like a preacher- rambling on and on about how “he” is coming back soon. Who is “he”? Well, it turned out “he” was Goldust when Dustin became Goldust again a few weeks later because Continue Reading...
It Came From YouTube: Hulk Hogan and Sgt. Slaughter in a Radio Shack ad you probably haven’t seen yet

Slaughter and a bunch of other 80’s icons; but here’s a different spot featuring just Hulk and The Sarge… and they’re getting along just great (well, mostly…)....

4 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Sun, 16 February 2014, 18:00Crapper Paul S. writes: In which Monty Brown invents the word “Hippophant” and brings so much joy to the world. Monty’s re-working of Jimi Hendrix’ “Hey Joe” was awesome. Great interview!...
It Came From YouTube: Mini Vader! Mini Mankind! Mini LaParka! And mini interest…
13 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Sun, 16 February 2014, 02:43In 1997 WWE thought the fans wanted to see midgets. So they gave us a lot of these midget matches like this one at the 1997 Royal Rumble featuring Mini Vader, Mini Mankind, and Mini LaParkita. The only interesting thing about them is that Sunny refereed most of them. She was the only thing worth watching in any of them....
It Came From YouTube: Bobby Heenan teaches you the proper way to work out!
6 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Sat, 15 February 2014, 02:08Crapper Avi Krebs writes: After shamelessly watching the Rock N’ Wrestling Episode posted on Wrestlecrap, I decided to watch another. I stopped after the first minute because I wanted to send this clip into you. It’s your friend and mine, Bobby the Brain Heenan, looking fairly spry in 1986. In true Brain fashion he shows us how to pump some Continue Reading...
It Came From YouTube: Paul Fisher is a lot like Kurt Angle (in so far as they’re both male).
10 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 14 February 2014, 02:05Crapper B. Amoda writes: Judo Joe? Bah! At least he might have been trained at some point. Fisher appears to have never stepped through the ropes prior to this match. Not only can’t he run the ropes, he can’t even lock up correctly. Hey, I think Paul is a great wrestler! You’d have to be nuts to disagree with me! Continue Reading...
It Came From YouTube: William Regal gets reminded of his past
5 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Thu, 13 February 2014, 16:56Crapper Christian Grimmett writes: This is from an episode of Superstars from William Regal’s hometown. The production crew play a little joke on him… It’s hilarious how he reacts, at one point he tries to scowl, but ends up making himself laugh again. Outstanding! I love his smirk once he realizes what’s going on. This is a good excuse to Continue Reading...
It Came From YouTube: WWF Toyota commercials from the 80’s
7 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Thu, 13 February 2014, 02:35Crapper Paul S. sent these commercials in and writes: Here’s some wacky Toyota commercials from the 1980s that apparently ran on Australian television featuring different wrestlers- Iron Shiek, George “The Animal” Steele”, Paul Roma, Steve Lombardi, and S.D Jones, I love The Iron Sheik doing the triumphant jump at the end of his commercial! YEAH!...
It Came From YouTube: Behold, the awesomeness of Power Uti!
9 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Wed, 12 February 2014, 02:00Crapper Third String Point Guard writes: As the YouTube clip suggests, this is from Pro Wrestling USA, February 1985. Those who have read Mick Foley’s Have a Nice Day probably remember Power Uti, Nigeria’s answer to Hulk Hogan, he who scared crooked military cops into playing it straight by shouting “I am Power Uti, the Nigerian heavyweight champion!”, and bullied Continue Reading...
It Came From YouTube: “Tell Me A Lie”- A sappy ballad for Shawn Michaels
10 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Tue, 11 February 2014, 19:55This is “Tell Me A Lie”- the syrupy, overwrought dramatic ballad WWE produced for Shawn Michaels in 1995 because he was going to have to “retire”. Here’s some trivia for you- the song is sung by Fonda Feingold (and despite the song being a sappy pile of goo, she does quite a nice job singing it I must say)....
It Came From YouTube: Suspiciously old kids in WWF LJN figures toy commercial
7 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Tue, 11 February 2014, 02:00Crapper Little Louie P (a.k.a. The Doctor of Style) writes: In commercials, it’s a common trick by toy companies to cast kids who are older than the toy’s target audience. However, LJN was really pushing the envelope with this one. I bet an hour after posing their action figures for the camera, these two kids were buying their weekly Clearasil Continue Reading...

3 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Sun, 09 February 2014, 06:24Crapper Paul S. writes: Here’s something you might use. Larry Zbyszko introduces his new sidekick Mr. Go the highly visible ninja. Anyway Go the Ninja was originally played by the very good Japanese wrestler Ryuma Go but his stint in the AWA was short lived. The gimmick was unceremoniously handed off to Steve Olsonoski and suddenly Mr. Go went from Continue Reading...
It Came From YouTube: Stevie Richards’ theme sounds familiar…
7 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Sun, 09 February 2014, 02:00Crapper Drew sent in these videos of Stevie Richards’ them song, and “Love Dump” by Static-X. He writes: This might be a stretch because the main metal riff is a little, say.. generic? But, in the same way DDP’s WCW theme was just a ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ knock off – wasn’t Stevie Richards last WWE theme just ‘Love Dump’ Continue Reading...

Lieutenant Commander Riker and Terry Funk in the same TV show!

I don’t know which I like more- Steve’s intense promo (hey, give him credit- he’s really trying here which is more than I can say for a lot of the current WWE roster) or that colorful, garish-colored UWF logo we see at Continue Reading...

9 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Thu, 06 February 2014, 19:00Crapper E-Squared writes: I can’t think of how many times Jericho stated arm bar as one of his holds. Also, when is the arm drag considered a “hold”? One of my most favorite segments in the history of wrestling. Chris is just awesome here....
It Came From YouTube: Don Muraco multitasks by wrestling and eating at the same time!
8 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Thu, 06 February 2014, 02:18Crapper Sean Bateman writes: Two things I learned from this gem 1) He should have pulled the jobber up at the count of two so he could continue his meal 2) Mr. Fitness II and the Midnight Rose should do this during a match, but with the Shake Weight Wow! This is my kind of wrestler- he can wrestle (and Continue Reading...
It Came From YouTube: Jimmy Hart wrote his own WCW theme music so it has to be good, right?

Here Continue Reading...
It Came From YouTube: The Chris Hamrick bump
10 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Tue, 04 February 2014, 17:00Crapper Jim Venzke writes: Are you familiar with the Chris Hamrick Bump? I enjoy watching Dolph Ziggler’s matches because he takes some pretty sick bumps. But he has nothing on this one. I’ve probably watched this one 100 times and it’s never failed to crack me up. Wow! Never seen that before, but it got a laugh out of me. Reminds me Continue Reading...

It Came From YouTube: Kurt Angle and Bob Backlund go together like Peanut Butter and Jelly
4 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Mon, 03 February 2014, 02:56Crapper Drew submitted this and writes: The pairing of Psycho Bob Backlund (a few years removed from his dumb Presidential candidate storyline) and All American heel Kurt Angle was a no-brainer. With his ankle lock and now Backlund’s cross-face chicken wing – Angle could now make his opponents submit with two dreaded finishers. But I think old Bob was wearing Continue Reading...
