Someone Bought This: Oh, a Wise Guy, eh?

0 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 24 May 2019, 02:00

In the late 90’s at the height of D-Generation X’s popularity, they decided to release the DX Wiseguyz– a set of figures featuring Triple H, The New Age Outlaws, and X-Pac dressed up as as 1930’s gangsters. They even put them on the cover of WWF Magazine in suits! Um… Why? I mean DX was cool. Gangsters are always cool. Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: Stand up for Law, Order, and fashionable headwear!

6 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 17 May 2019, 02:00

It’s a Big Boss Man baseball cap! I just now noticed that the handcuffs in his logo are shaped like the letters “Co.” which is the abbreviation for County (as in Cobb County, Georgia)....

Someone Bought This: This Rockers shirt reminds me of something…

5 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 10 May 2019, 02:00

I especially like this Rockers shirt because it looks like the Title Card to a wacky 80’s cartoon- “The Adventures Of The Rockers”! You expect them to team up with the Scooby-Doo gang solving mysteries in a van, and then they’d all dance to some generic rock music at the end. I bet Shawn would totally score with Daphnie, leaving Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: Mankind is here with Chef Boyardee Ravioli!

0 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 03 May 2019, 02:00

This was too weird not to uh.. “borrow” for SBT, Crappers! User dgnr8 on The Wrestling Figs collector’s forum made a post in this thread about all the promotional cardboard cutout standees he owns, including this one! It’s a promotional standee of Mick Foley / Mankind shilling for Chef Boyardee Beef Ravioli! Imagine that you’re staying overnight at this guy’s Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: Cutting hair is thirsty work!

1 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 26 April 2019, 02:00

It’s a Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake drinking glass! Brutus is looking kind of bloated here, isn’t he? Of course, the only thing you can really drink out of it are those fruity mixed drinks with the little paper umbrellas. “Ooo! I sure could usk one of those drinks from that glass featuring that sexy barber fella, there…” That’s enough out Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: Sting’s in trouble, but help is on the way!

4 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 19 April 2019, 02:00

Robocop in WCW was pretty ridiculous on it’s own merits (of course we’ve covered that in The WrestleCrap Archives) but even moe ridiculous is the over-the-top (dad!) ad copy they came up with for this Capital Combat ’90 ad. For extra fun, read it in your best “Movie Trailer Voice-Over Guy” voice as if it’s the most important thing in the Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: WCW luggage tags will help make you look stupid in public

5 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 12 April 2019, 02:00

They actually made WCW Sting and Goldberg luggage tags. Okay, picture this. You’re at the airport baggage carousel… …desperately trying to find your suitcase amongst the dozens circling by. You walk up to an airline employee and say “Excuse me, can you help me find my bag? It’s the black one with the luggage tag of a mime on it!”. Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: This shirt is unbelievable… for all the wrong reasons

5 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 05 April 2019, 02:00

“Unbelievable!” (said in Vince McMahon’s awesome bombastic voice) was WWE’s slogan during the failed “New Generation” era where they trotted out a bunch of new wrestlers and characters that nobody cared about. “Unbelievable”… as in “I can’t believe how terrible the WWF is these days”. And for some reason they decided to put the slogan on a shirt in unbelievably Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: Bill Goldberg Yo-Yo

1 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 29 March 2019, 02:00

This is the WCW Bill Goldberg Sleeper Yo-Yo. I assume they call it that because much like The Witch’s poison apple from Snow White, Goldberg’s formulaic, by-the-numbers matches were always guaranteed to lull you into a deep sleep....

Someone Bought This: WrestleMania XI cap

5 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 22 March 2019, 02:00

WrestleMania XI was not a very good show… in fact it was probalby the worst WrestleMania of all time. But WWE made this baseball cap anyway because they thought someone would want to remember it. Why is the logo in teal?...

Someone Bought This: A trading card for the ladies…

1 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 15 March 2019, 02:00

I was looking through the 1991 Merlin WWF trading cards on The Wrestling Trading Card Collector’s Site and that’s when I saw this! A Marty Jannetty trading card. But not just any Marty Jannetty trading card. A Marty Jannetty trading card where he’s doing his best to look as sexy and smooth as humanly possible laying on some rocks by Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: Custom Man Mountain Rock figure with the most important accessory

0 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 08 March 2019, 02:00

I found this custom Man Mountain Rock figure at WrestleToys.com. It’s better than the Hasbro custom one we featured earlier because this one does come with WWF logo guitar as illustrated! But sadly no crown. King Man Mountain Rock! Oh, what a wonderful world it would be if he had been crowned King of the WWF! Man Mountain Rock, what do Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: Undertaker and Steve Austin Stovepipe hats

2 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 01 March 2019, 02:00

I don’t care how big of a wrestling fan you were in the late 90’s, you would not be caught dead wearing either the Stone Cold Steve Austin or The Undertaker Stovepipe hat in public unless you were a 10 year old boy who just bought it at a house show....

Someone Bought This: Norman The Lunatic loves his teddy bear, and you can too!

1 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 22 February 2019, 02:00

Before Mike Shaw was Bastion Booger, before he was Friar Ferguson, he was Norman The Lunatic in WCW. That was his entire gimmick- he was a stereotypical “crazy guy” who escaped from an insane asylum and (of course) had wild, crazy hair and was still wearing his asylum-issued outfit. Oh yeah, and he was managed by Teddy Long, playa! Norman Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: Adam Bomb “Bomb Squad” shirt

4 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 15 February 2019, 02:00

Adam Bomb was a heel whose gimmick was that.. um. .. he survived a nuclear explosion (or something). Then he turned face, threw little Nerf football “bombs”… …into the audience, and got his own “Bomb Squad” t-shirt. I guess his fans were called The Bomb Squad? I don’t really remember that, but whatever....

Someone Bought This: WCW Nitro Girls dress for your little girl (?)

2 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 08 February 2019, 02:00

Bryan over at The WCW Worldwide Blog posted a 1998 WCW Merchandise Catalog. WCW Nitro Girls dresses for little girls. Now, someone please correct me if I’m wrong but the entire purpose of the Nitro Girls was to give guys something to oogle in -between matches. I can’t imagine that too many 6 year old girls A). Watched wrestling or B). Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: El Gigante shirt

4 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 01 February 2019, 02:00

I know this isn’t a very high-resolution image but I can’t find anything better (please shoot me an email if you have or find a better scan of this!). Look in the upper right corner! It’s an El Gigante shirt! I bet WCW sold a cool dozen of these! It’s neat (in a “I can’t believe someone bought that!” sort of Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: Stone Cold Steve Austin is a guy you can really bank on… and bank in!

6 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 25 January 2019, 02:00

Today we have a talking Stone Cold Steve Austin “Superstar Sound Bank”. I assume he talks when you give him money. Just like someone with big important information in a crime drama movie! This is the kind of cheesy, fun toy I would have begged for if I had been 7 or 8 in The Attitude Era....

Someone Bought This: WCW LCD wrist watch game, and flasks!

6 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 18 January 2019, 02:00

This WCW catalog page from the early 90’s has all sorts of stuff on it. Look! It’s one of those LCD wristwatch games! The games almost always barely playable and you could hardly see the tiny screen. but they gave you something to do during 5th Period Study Hall when you wanted to avoid doing Algebra homework. This is what Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: Unreleased WWF Superstars cereal box featuring a tag team that licks ’em all!

2 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 11 January 2019, 02:00

Crapper Another Dave writes: Ran across this this morning- an unreleased WWF Superstars Cereal Box featuring the Bushwhackers! Because I know when I’m trying to keep food down there’s nothing like looking at Luke and Butch! Oh yes! Thinking about Luke and Butch licking random fans sure makes me want to grab a nice bowl of second rate wrestling themed Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: Buy a Cactus Jacket from Cactus Jack!

3 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 04 January 2019, 02:00

Bryan over at The WCW Worldwide Blog found out that in 1994 Mick Foley ran a short-lived mail-order Leather Jacket catalog (!). Mick offered leather jackets for both men and women. Unfortunately there wasn’t much interest in the jackets and the business closed down pretty fast. I don’t know much about leather jackets but they look nice to me. Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: No Holds Barred- The shirt!

4 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 28 December 2018, 02:00

If you’ve read R.D’s induction of No Holds Barred (and if you haven’t, you ought to) then you know the movie is… shall we say…. somewhat flawed. But Vince McMahon must have thought the movie would be really popular because the WWF put out this t-shirt featuring a drawing of Hulk Hogan (as Rip!) glaring at an enraged Zeus. Hulk looks like Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: Santa Hollywood Hogan Christmas ornament

4 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 21 December 2018, 02:00

Santa Hollywood Hogan is here and he has presents! Oh yes, it’s a NWO Hulk Hogan Christmas ornament! I’d like to think he’s like The Grinch and he’s just in the middle of taking Christmas gifts away from kids and families. Because that’s how Hollywood Hogan rolls, brother!...

Someone Bought This: Sin Cara and Scooby-Doo figures

5 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 14 December 2018, 02:00

A few years ago there was a WWE/Scooby Doo “WrestleMania Mystery” crossover cartoon movie. Here’s some figures of Sin Cara and Scooby-Doo, together at last. Can’t you just picture Sin Cara out at 6 AM taking Scooby out for walkies? The real mystery is why anyone would want this particular combination of figures. Oh-Ho-Ho-Ho!...

Someone Bought This: Funky Texas Tornado logo shirt

2 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 07 December 2018, 02:00

This circa late 80’s/early 90’s WWF Texas Tornado Kerry Von Erich logo shirt has some of the weirdest color choices I’ve ever seen on a wrestling shirt: Blue, orange, red, and black/white?! I can’t decide if I hate it because of the contrasting colors or love it because it’s so cheesy. A giant red tornado coming at you would be Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: The Road Warriors love their Zubaz!

3 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 30 November 2018, 02:00

The Road Warriors (AKA: The Legion of Doom to you WWF fans) love their Zubaz pants! Why? Because they’re flashy, and comfortable, and Zebra stripes never, ever go out of style! What’s not to love? And now, enjoy a gallery of Hawk and Animal in Zubaz: UHHHHHHWhatAZubazRush.com! I bet that URL’s not taken…...

SOMEONE BOUGHT THIS: Fly Fishing Mike Rotundo Autographed Photo

2 Submitted by RD Reynolds on Sun, 25 November 2018, 19:24

As discussed on WrestleCrap Radio…I never thought he’d top that Captain Mike shirt where he had a giant head popping out of a boat, but he sure tried! This was apparently out of the 1988 DANGER ZONE calendar, and if anyone is looking to get me a Christmas present, this would look great hanging up in my living room....

Someone Bought This: Chyna’s second dumbest shirt

1 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 23 November 2018, 02:00

“Chyna Syndrome”? (Insert obvious STD joke here). Well, this isn’t quite as embarrassingly stupid as her Va-Chyna shirt, but it still doesn’t make any sense. It’s a reference to the movie The China Syndrome about a reporter who uncovers shady goings-on at a Nuclear Power Plant. So is this shirt saying that Chyna is a Nuclear-Powered Diva like Nuclear Man Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: A Smoking Gunns poster as big as the Grand Canyon!

3 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 16 November 2018, 02:00

YEE-HAW! This gigantic 24 x 36 poster of The Smoking Gunns poster is not only awesome, but rare! It was only available in the WWF Catalog and at live events so you know it’s a true collectable. It’s a great way to show what a big fan you are of the world’s greatest cowboy tag team of the 90’s (okay, so I Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: Shane McMahon WCW Jersey and the Invasion WCW logo shirt

3 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 09 November 2018, 02:00

When WWE bought WCW and did The Invasion angle, it um… didn’t go very well. In fact, it won the 2001 Gooker Award right here on WrestleCrap! The Invasion was lead by Shane McMahon and a handful of ex-WCW wrestlers who were mostly mid-carders. The wrestlers all wore this shirt with a new WCW logo: Well, it’s better than the Continue Reading...
