Someone Bought This: This WCW Lex Luger toy is tall (and boring)

0 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 24 September 2021, 02:00

Here’s a WCW Lex Luger figure made by Galoob. What kid wouldn’t want to pretend to be Lex, who had all the personality of an empty toilet paper tube? “I’m 14″ tall and ready to brawl”? Isn’t that the line Chris Candito used to land Tammy Sytch? Check out that price tag- I didn’t know that Greg ran a toy store Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: Of all the shirts you could buy at the concession stand, you picked that one?

3 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 17 September 2021, 02:00

From a 1993 episode of Raw, some fan actually bought a long-sleeved IcoPro bodybuilding supplement shirt. Wow, that was $25 well spent, random fan!...

Someone Bought This: Hulk Hogan flies like a kite… because he is one!

1 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 10 September 2021, 02:00

From 1995 it’s an official WCW Hulk Hogan kite. “Flight control reel”. Yeah, good luck controlling this thing with just the string that’s attaching it to the handle you’re holding!...

Someone Bought This: Heidenreich?

Crapper Milan Vasi writes: Hey Paul, so I was at Dollar Tree here in Hamilton,ON Canada ( home of the crappy WWE toys ) and these were fresh out of the box and on the shelf. Featuring Roman Reigns,John Cena, The Undertaker and………..HEIDENREICH???????? ( well Brock Lesnar but my god if that isn’t a HEIDENREICH figure then I don’t know Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: Visit WWF.com and remember to do it with attitude!

0 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 27 August 2021, 02:00

This shirt advertising WWF.com is a primo example of The Attitude Era. I mean really… “Download This!”? I’m picturing a pouty 13 year old yelling that while flipping off his 7th grade English teacher Mrs. Baer just before she sends him to detention....

Someone Bought This: WCW can’t even get simple characters right on trading cards

2 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 20 August 2021, 02:00

This is Mr. Wall Street’s WCW trading card. AKA: Irwin R. Schyster. AKA: I.R.S. AKA: Mike Rotunda AKA: Mike Rotundo. Phew… Anyway, let’s take a look at the back of the card which features a little blurb about him: Wait, “his multi-million dollar inheritance”? Uh, but I thought he made all of his money in the stock market? Hence the name Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: Ken Patera’s unique wardrobe choice for his WWF Magazine cover

0 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 13 August 2021, 02:00

WWF Magazine: Hey Ken! Good news! We’d like to photograph you for the cover of the upcoming WWF Magazine! Ken: Okay, I’ll do it… but I insist on wearing my 1984 Olympic muscle shirt that shrunk in the wash. WWF Magazine: Okay, I guess we can allow that. Ken: and I want to cut up so it shows my nipples. Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: 7-11 and the lazy caricature artist

3 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 06 August 2021, 02:00

In 1985 7-11 put out a series of WWF Slurpee cups including this one featuring Wendi Richter! I know it’s a caricature so it’s supposed to be a little silly and exaggerated, but this really doesn’t look anything like her. Look- this is Wendi Richter: Whoever drew her caricature for the cup… …seems to think she’s an Asian woman with Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: A toy line with the worst possible name

2 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 30 July 2021, 02:00

In 1997 Jakks-Pacific released a line of WWF statues that were pretty unremarkable except for the fact that they were called… “Heroes Of Wrestling”. Gee, what does that remind you of? Okay, so this toy line came out a year before the terrible independent wrestling show (you can read all about that in The WrestleCrap Archives) but I still thought it was a funny Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: Diesel loves the fans, and the fans love his shirts!

0 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 23 July 2021, 02:00

These are two shirts WWE sold during the infamous Diesel face mega-push of 1995 that almost bankrupted the company. Both are hideously ugly, but I especially love the “Smiling Diesel” one because he looks like he’s being forced at gunpoint to smile for the photo....

Someone Bought This: The WCW Nitro Grill referee shirt really eats it!

1 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 16 July 2021, 02:00

Bryan over at the WCW Worldwide blog found this WCW Nitro Grill referee shirt amongst other Nitro Grill stuff, and boy oh boy is it ugly! You’d look really stupid wearing it just about anywhere, including a wrestling show. This shirt would only be useful if you want to look like you work at a Footlocker shoe store. And really, Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: WCW Drink Koozie

2 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 09 July 2021, 02:00

Courtesy of the WCW Worldwide blog, It’s the official WCW Nitro Grill drink kozzie! It will keep your can cool, and make you look cool. Well okay, it will do the first thing, anyway....

Someone Bought This: Hang Stone Cold on your wall and he’ll yak at ya!

1 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 02 July 2021, 02:00

This is a Stone Cold Steve Austin wall decoration plaque thing. And he talks! It has a motion detector and if it senses motion, ol’ Stole Cold will spew out one of his more PG-13 catch phrases. I guess it’s supposed to be some kind of room alarm? Or you can just turn that feature off and press a button Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: Von Erich Warriors comic book

2 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 25 June 2021, 02:00

In 1989 World Class Championship Wrestling pout out a comic book called Von Erich Warriors. It stared… um… the Von Erich brothers. I just love that this thing exists. It’s like The Von Erichs got the mystical powers of The Ultimate Warrior! ...

Someone Bought This: NWA Mello Yello shirt

3 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 18 June 2021, 02:00

It’s an NWA Mello Yello shirt in blindingly bright yellow! This beautiful piece of apparel was released to promote the NWA Mello Yello cans which you’ll remember from the commercial with Dusty Rhodes! Now I want both a cold, refreshing Mello Yello and some old school NWA on my TV again....

Someone Bought This: WCW Curt Henning figure with weird text

3 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 11 June 2021, 02:00

It’s a WCW Curt Henning figure! I’m only posting this for the blurb in the upper right… “Try Button On Back Me!”. Is that like when Eric Bischoff called a move a “Back Leg Front Kick”? Good text placement is important when designing a package, Crappers…...

Someone Bought This: Tote your belongings all around town in this fine NWO tote bag

1 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 04 June 2021, 02:00

FUN FACT: You could get this fashionable NWO tote bag as a Thank You Gift if you pledged $100 to help offset WCW’s massive debt....

Someone Bought This: Hulk Hogan needs the right shoes for court- the tennis court, that is!

0 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 28 May 2021, 02:00

Crapper Drew Bludd writes: I couldn’t find a version of it without the watermark. Looks to be from 1985. What’s Footboy? Is that the best shoe company WWF could get involved with? THEY STILL EXIST! Wow! Who knew Hulk Hogan was an amateur tennis player? HulkHoganBallSmasher.com! I bet that URL’s not taken!...

Someone Bought This: Stone Cold Steve Austin Collectable Plate

2 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 21 May 2021, 02:00

This is one of those collectable plates that you see put out by the Franklin Mint (or in this case, The Danbury Mint). Here’s a closeup of it: And here’s the back: I love how it pretty much says “Don’t eat off this plate because the paint and other stuff might contaminate your food and kill you”. Now that’s badass! Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: Suburban Commando- the shirt!

0 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 14 May 2021, 02:00

It’s a Suburban Commando promotional t-shirt! What’s more, it’s a hideously ugly neon Suburban Commando promotional t-shirt! Oh boy! I love how abstract this is- a large green planet earth with some Monopoly properties on it that are supposed to represent (I guess) the suburbs. What’s that one building supposed to be? A church? Now granted, I haven’t seen the movie Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: The Official Von Erich Family World Class Championship Wrestling game!

3 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 07 May 2021, 02:00

Crapper Sean Bateman writes: I know about the AWA and the Wrestlemania VHS games, which Spoony reviewed, and I did play the WWE DVD game. All three are candidates for Wrestlecrap inductions or Somebody Bought This. But, somebody bought this WCCW/Von Erich game and it was not me. Here is the description for that game: The Official VON ERICH FAMILY Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: WCW Slam Jam cassette tape with awesome theme songs!

3 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 30 April 2021, 02:00

If you were a kid in 1991 and saw this WCW Slam Jam theme song cassette at Mike Angelo’s Music Emporium in the mall, you know you’d gladly pay the sort-of pricy $15.99 they were asking for this baby so you could run home and play it on your cheap, but well-loved Sony Walkman. Yes, this is a tape so good that would Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: WWE Body Cals temporary tattoo stickers

2 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 23 April 2021, 02:00

These are WWE Body Cals temporary tattoo stickers. They say “Stay Hyped” because… uh, I don’t know. “Body Cal” just reminds me of “Booty Call” which gives me a really uneasy feeling… You’re supposed to put them on your face, I guess… and even as a 9 year old I would have known that would make me look really, really Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: Dudley Boyz glasses.

2 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 16 April 2021, 02:00

These glasses are useful if you want to impersonate a Dudley Boy. Or Harry Potter. Or Buddy Holly. Or WrestleCrap Radio’s own Nathaniel....

Someone Bought This: Kevin Nash- now in comic book super hero figure form!

3 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 09 April 2021, 02:00

Bryan over at The WCW Worldwide Archive found this WCW S.L.A.M Force Kevin Nash figure. It’s part of a line of figures featuring WCW wrestlers as super heroes (?!) and comes with a free mini comic book. The other figures in the line were Sting, Bret Hart, and Bill Goldberg. I’m going to assume they looked just as goofy as Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: Yo!

Someone Bought This: The UWF returns, and they have a shirt!

3 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 12 March 2021, 02:00

Crapper Sean Bateman writes: Some guy is bringing Herb Abhrams’ UWF back from the dead and you can buy the merch with the old logo at the UWF’s store. That guy was crazy. Good luck to whomever is starting up the promotion again… They’re going to need it. I kind of like the clashing colors in the logo, actually…...

Someone Bought This: Protect yourself from circa 1985 rain in style!

1 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 05 March 2021, 02:00

From the mid-80’s, it’s a WWF Rain Jacket (or rain coat if you prefer) in eye-catching blue! It includes a hood so you don’t get your noggin wet! It comes complete with an embroidered WWF logo. This is great if A). It’s raining, and B). You want to emulate Sean Mooney’s fashion sense: “This is okay for rain, but I much prefer Continue Reading...
