Obscure, strange, and sometimes downright horrible wrestling merchandise that someone paid good money to obtain.
Someone Bought This: The Highlanders figures
3 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 18 September 2020, 02:00It’s a two-pack of The Highlanders figures- one of the most forgettable tag-teams of the 2000’s. Who thought that kids or adults would want to buy figures of these two? Hey, remember when Robbie showed up in the audience of TNA Impact the weekend of Wrestlemania in 2008? We do! 3/27/08. Never forget....
Someone Bought This: WCW Worldwide shirt
0 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 11 September 2020, 02:00Back in 1999/2000 if you watched WCW Worldwide you could email them with a question for a wrestler. If they picked your question, they’d read it on the air and a wrestler would answer it. Better yet, you won a spiffy WCW Worldwide logo shirt! According to Bryan at The WCW Worldwide Blog they were t-shirts with the WCW Worldwide logo Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: Adam Bomb’s bomb!
3 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 04 September 2020, 02:00Remember when Adam Bomb turned face and threw these little Nerf footballs into the audience? LICENCE TO GET THE AUDIENCE’S FAVOR! Actually the fans didn’t care about him anymore as a face than they did as a heel because it was the exact same character. If you weren’t one of the 3 or 4 lucky fans to catch one of Continue Reading...
In 2011 TNA featured this Rob Van Dam shirt on their website as one of their new releases. Wait a minute… RDV? Rob’s Damn Van? Oh, it’s supposed to be RVD! Poor Rob. Even he must not have been as high as TNA’s merchandise designers! They actually did correct it when it went into production. Much better!...
Someone Bought This: AWA and WCW toy rings
2 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 21 August 2020, 02:00This is why you need good artwork that actually represents your product. This is the Remo AWA toy wrestling ring. Look at how small that ring looks on the artwork! It’s as if they’re wrestling in a postage stamp! This is why proper scale is important when drawing things, Crappers. Look at the crowd in the foreground. It looks like Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: One of the lamest figure twin-packs ever
3 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 14 August 2020, 02:00It’s lame heel Marc Mero Vs. boring face Steve Blackman. If I had been an 8 year old in 1997 and I would have gotten these figures I would have been so very disappointed. It’s hard for me to think of two roster members I cared less about than these two....

Someone Bought This: Say what, Warrior?
2 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 31 July 2020, 02:00“Created By Destiny… Bonded By Belief”? What in the hell is that supposed to mean?! It sounds like the world’s worst Krazy Glue slogan! I believe this is a shirt created by Warrior himself and sold by him instead of something WWE made. I don’t think WWE would put a saying quite this stupid and meaningless on a shirt (and Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: Forget Clip-On ties! Try WCW Clip-Ons instead!
2 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 24 July 2020, 02:00These are Bill Goldberg, Sting, and Kevin Nash WCW Clip-Ons. I guess you clip them onto your backpack or something, and if you squeeze them, they say their catchphrase. That will provide entire seconds of entertainment. We all know that the real WCW Screamin’ Superstar is Norman Smiley!...
Someone Bought This: Blade got his, now I get mine…
2 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 17 July 2020, 02:00Oh sure, Blade gets head from Kimberly, but I get head from Kevin Nash. Figures…...
Someone Bought This: Two out of three ain’t bad…
8 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 10 July 2020, 02:00Here we have a three pack of figures- Stone Cold Steve Austin, Dr. Death Steve Williams, and Edge. This reminds me of that song from Sesame Street. “One of these things is not like the other. One of these things just doesn’t belong…” They must’ve put this set of figures together because they had a ton of unsold Dr. Death figures Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: Even dumber than a foam finger…
3 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 03 July 2020, 02:00If you ever doubt the genius of the WWE Marketing Machine… …they actually got people to pay money for a foam representation of Hacksaw Jim Duggan’s 2×4 piece of wood with his face on it! “Did somebody say ‘Wood’?”. “I sure hopesk so!” Get out of here, both of you! ...
Someone Bought This: Hulk Hogan does The Donkey Kong!
3 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 26 June 2020, 02:00Bryan over at The WCW Worldwide Blog found this WCW Hulk Hogan LCD video game on eBay! It’s basically Donkey Kong with Hulk Hogan in place of Mario. So yes, it’s a video game staring a wrestler that has nothing whatsoever to do with wrestling. I absolutely love the text under the screenshots! Read that out loud in your best Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: The WCW Bill Goldberg toy truck looks familiar…
2 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 19 June 2020, 02:00This is a WCW Road Rebels Bill Goldberg toy truck that comes with a Goldberg figure. First of all, Goldberg looks like he’s auditioning for Right Said Fred with that vest/muscle shirt combo outfit… But what the truck really seems to be is a souped-up version of Fred Sanford’s salvage truck from Sanford And Son. “WCW, you big dummies!”....
Someone Bought This: The WCW Sparkle Gun isn’t quite on target…
7 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 12 June 2020, 02:00From 1991 it’s the WCW Sparkle Gun! It makes little sparks at the end when you pull the trigger. You may be asking yourself “What a Sparkle Gun has to do with wrestling?”. And the answer is… Um… I’ll get back to you on that. It would have been a lot funnier if Brian Pillman had used this on the infamous Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: Not just a referee figure- a talking referee figure!
2 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 05 June 2020, 02:00It’s a talking referee figure. I’ll just let the company that made it describe it… Three Counting and Talking Referee Action Figure by Figures Toy Company. Squeeze his legs together and he will throw his arm up and say five different sayings! This goes great with your other wrestling action figures and accessories. Takes 3 LR44 watch batteries (included). Figure Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: Mexican Mad Magazine is awesome!
2 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 29 May 2020, 02:00Crapper Paul S. writes: From the WCW Worldwide blog check out this Mexican edition of Mad Magazine! Wow, La Parka just kicked the crap out of Superman! That’ll teach him for making us all sit through Superman IV! And yet La Parka still couldn’t get a decent push in WCW… Forget Kryptonite! Superman’s real weakness is apparently the deadly folding chair!...
Someone Bought This: This shirt’s so bright, you’ve gotta wear shades!
4 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 22 May 2020, 02:00It’s a very neon WWF Superstars shirt from 1991! This is the kind of shirt you could only get away with wearing in the early 90’s. At any other time it would get you a visit from The Fashion Police....
Someone Bought This: The bootleg Iron Sheik figure looks like someone else…
2 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 15 May 2020, 02:00Someone on the WrestlingFigs forum posted a bunch of 12-inch bootleg wrestling figures including this Not Iron Sheik one. He looks more like Bald Bull from Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out… …which only makes me want it that much more. I bet Nintendo John has one of these bad boys up on his shelf right next to his Punch-Out trophies!...
Someone Bought This: NWO Wolfpack bucket hat
4 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 08 May 2020, 02:00In the late 90’s the NWO was big. They were so big that in 1998 WCW split them into two groups- NWO Hollywood (Black and White) and the Wolfpack (Black and Red). Unfortunately WCW decided to combine the two and that’s how we got this NWO Wolfpack bucket hat. This hat was fashionable in the late 90’s, which says a Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: The Hillbilly And The Hulkster- Tag Team Champs?
4 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 01 May 2020, 02:00This is a set of Hulk Hogan and Hillbilly Jim figures that are supposed to be a tag team (?) that come with the Tag Team Championship belts (?!). I’m pretty sure Hulk Hogan and Hillbilly Jim never tagged together, so they were never the Tag Team Champions (thank goodness!). But the real mystery here is… Why doesn’t this come with Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: It’s time to finger a friend with WCW Finger Fighters!
5 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 24 April 2020, 02:00We’ve covered lots of WWE and WCW thumb wrestling toys before here in Someone Bought This, but today we have something new- WCW Finger Fighters! They call them Finger Fighters even though you use your thumbs. I guess “Thumb Thwackers” wasn’t quite as catchy a name? “Comes complete with RING OF DOOM play board”. Scott Keith aught to sue these people. Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: Val Venis baseball cap
2 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 17 April 2020, 02:00A Val Venis baseball cap with “Venis Envy” plastered across the front of it in big letters. Really?…...
Someone Bought This: The most violent wrestling game I’ve ever seen…
8 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 10 April 2020, 02:00This is a weird one.. It’s the WWF Superstars Wrestling Arcade Game by Helm Toy. The goal of the game is to shoot the wrestlers with the gun to earn points! I guess it’s supposed to be like a throwback to an old-timer Shooting Gallery carnival game, but it just seems kind of morbid and creepy- especially since a decent Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: Need a calculator? Need a mouse pad?
5 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 03 April 2020, 02:00Look what I found! It’s a combination calculator and mouse pad. What a weird combination. Can you imagine using this in College or in the office? Talk about embarrassing… This looks like the kind of cheap gift you’d get for opening a new account at a bank. This is… not as significant a combination of things as when they found Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: A prized signed WCW card
7 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 27 March 2020, 02:00Here’s a an autographed WCW Erik Watts trading card from the late 90’s! You may remember Erik as Bill Watts’ son. Or since you’re a Crapper, you probably remember him as Troy, one half of Tekno Team 2000 with Trevor (Chad Fortune). Okay Crappers, show of hands… How many of you knew that Erik Watts was even in WCW in 1998/1999? Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: WWF Coliseum Video postcards
4 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 20 March 2020, 02:00This is a set of six postcards put out to promote WWF Coliseum Videos in 1993. And boy, do these designs just scream “90’s”! I wonder if anyone actually used these to send a note to someone else? I love the idea of a child writing a note to Grandma with one of these… “Oh look Harold, we got a postcard in Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: This hat gets my stamp of approval
2 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 13 March 2020, 02:00It’s a fashionable banana yellow Lex Luger baseball cap! And it has a stamp on it. Because. you see… he’s the Total Package! Banana yellow is um… an interesting color choice....
Someone Bought This: The Undertaker- zombie, biker, businessman.
2 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 06 March 2020, 02:00This is a shirt from that weird period where The Undertaker suddenly stopped being an undead zombie and started being a bad ass redneck biker. Apparently this was just a phase because he went back to being an undead zombie later. “Deadman Inc”? Well, I guess that makes more business sense than “Deadman, LLC”. You have to protect your assets, Continue Reading...
