Someone Bought This: It’s raining men, hallelujah!

2 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 24 January 2020, 02:00

As you’ve probably been able to figure out by now, this is a WWF umbrella featuring Hulk Hogan and the Ultimate Warrior. I have nothing funny or interesting to say about it. I just thought it was kind of a unique piece of merchandise....

Someone Bought This: King Mabel promotional photo

1 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 17 January 2020, 02:00

In 1995 WWE pushed talentless slug heel Mabel to the moon and had him win the King Of The Ring which is how we got this 8×10 promotional photo of King Mabel. I will say that his “crazy eyes” look is… um… unique. I can almost hear him say “You ate the last Twinkie?! You must die!“. What kind of name Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: Triple H’s bad hair day

Crapper Will Fluker writes: i cant believe that someone bought this when i saw this Triple H figure, HIs hair looks like a Dragon Ball Z character. Hey, you’re right!...

Someone Bought This: The Dragon will fire up your wardrobe!

2 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 03 January 2020, 02:00

I don’t care what anyone says… Fire-breathing Ricky Steamboat was awesome! Even if the dragon outfit did kind of look stupid and make him look like those venom-spitting dinosaurs from Jurassic Park. JurasscSteamboat.com! I bet that URL’s not taken…...

Someone Bought This: Clear your nose with the help of Jimmy Hart!

1 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 27 December 2019, 02:00

You always knew that Jimmy Hart was a little snot and now you can put a little snot on him with this Official Jimmy Hart handkerchief! “Official” as opposed to all of those unofficial bootleg Jimmy Hart hankies, I guess… I bet Gorilla Monsoon had one of these just so he could blow his nose onto “that annoying little pipsqueak”....

Someone Bought This: ECW Hard Core Cafe shirt

1 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 20 December 2019, 02:00

“ECW Hard Core Cafe”. Because nothing says “hardcore indie fed” like parodying a trendy corporate restaurant logo that’s been mass marketed to millions of people....

Someone Bought This: WCW Bret Hart cereal

2 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 13 December 2019, 02:00

It’s WCW Bret Hart cereal! Just add milk to hear Snap! Crackle! Whine! Warning– Cereal my lose its direction and float aimlessly around without purpose. Geez, I haven’t seen a cereal box that pink since Cap’n Crunch’s Punch Crunch. (Does come with effeminate sailor hippo as illustrated). Pfft, our own gay sailor’s straight brother’s Sweet Crunch cereal is way better! “That Punch Crunch Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: This WWF knit cap has one major flaw…

3 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 06 December 2019, 02:00

Here’s a WWF knit cap from the late 80’s. And do you know what makes it WrestleCrap worthy? That stupid yellow and black poof ball at the top! It just makes the hat look so dumb! “OOOOH I hates poof balls!”. If you wore this hat to school as kid you deserved to be pelted with snow balls....

Someone Bought This: Scott Hall’s secret career ambitions finally revealed…

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

It’s a Scott Hall figure with a Sting mask. I’m sure this is referencing some angle I’ve long forgotten about… But I prefer to just pretend that Scott Hall decided to leave the NWO and become a Mime to entertain children at birthday parties. SayHelloToTheBadMime.com! I bet that URL’s not taken!...

Someone Bought This: Owen Hart “Enough Is Enough” shirt

If I may quote Weird Al’s song Word Crimes: You should never, Write words using numbers, Unless you’re seven, Or your name is Prince...

Someone Bought This: WCW’s got balls… Baseballs, that is!

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

I found WCW Goldberg and Sting baseballs! Because we know the strong connection the tWCW and baseball have always had. Er, wait a minute… Anyway, they’re the kind of collectible baseballs that you aren’t supposed to actually play with. You’re just supposed to look at them. But these look really ugly, so I wouldn’t really recommend looking at them. So Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: Wah! No one understands Sting!

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

WCW Worldwide Blog owner Bryan was sent this unreleased WCW Sting shirt from the artist who drew it. It was going to be made to promote the Sting/Hollywood Hogan match at Starrcade ’97. I’m really torn with this one, Crappers. On one hand, the artwork is very nice and I like the black/white/grey/purple color combination the artist went with. So Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: Finally you can add The Booger Man to your Hasbro figure federation!

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

Some awesome, creative person made a custom Bastion Booger Hasbro figure! It features the Body Avalanche move, which looks more to me like he’s pounding on the table demanding dinner. Boy, Bastion’s “signature” on that backing card is a lot tidier than you’d expect from a guy named Bastion Booger, isn’t it? It’s almost as if it’s a font and not his Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: WCW/NWO hat pins

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

Today we have a pair of WCW hat pins featuring the Bill Goldberg and NWO Wolfpack logos. Oh, I don’t know about these, Crappers… When I think of hat pins, I think of those frilly decorative pins Minnie Pearl or your Grandma would put in her fancy straw hat before going to Sunday church services… …which doesn’t exactly jive with the whole Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: Big Bully Busick gets a big trading card!

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

From the 1991 WWF Merlin trading card set comes this Big Bully Busick card! Oh sure, he might have only been in the WWF for about 6 months, but he had a big enough impact to get his own trading card! And of course it features manager of frequent WrestleCrap inductees Harvey Wipplemen! I’m sure this card was the real Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: Blind your kids with the WWE Kids magazine!

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

A few years ago WWE produced a WWE Kids magazine for kids aged 6 to 14. And they apparently felt it was necessary to use as much neon and clashing colors as humanly possible on the cover of each and every issue of the magazine. Why? TO MAKE IT EXTREME!!!! A Smackdown Vs. Raw game is “The Best Video Game Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: It’s Ric Flair… or maybe not

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

This is a vintage Ric Flair shirt. At least, it’s supposed to be Ric Flair. But it looks more like Greg “The Hammer” Valentine to me. See? Stop! Hammer Time! Do you guys see the resemblance too, or am I crazy? And I would totally pay more money for a vintage Greg Valentine shirt!...

Someone Bought This: A signed New Rockers photo- a real collectable!

1 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 27 September 2019, 02:00

DJ Mike Check submitted this from his private collection of Rock ‘n Roll memorabilia. It’s not just an 8×10 photo of The New Rockers, it’s an autographed 8×10 photo of The New Rockers! Yes, Marty Jannetty and Leif Cassidy both graced this photo with their signatures! “Keep Rockin’? Oh, I will, Marty. I will....

Someone Bought This: 45 minutes of Sable? Nooooo!

5 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 20 September 2019, 02:00

In 1998 WWE put out a VHS called “Sable Unleashed”. Okay, I admit that this SBT has to do with my personal preferences, but this is a 45 minute video focusing on Sable- the least interesting Diva of the era. She isn’t attractive in the face or body (“Silicone parts are made for toys!” -Sir Mix-A-Lot). She has all the Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: Terrifying Captain Lou Albano caricature shirt

2 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 13 September 2019, 02:00

From 1986 it’s the Captain Lou Albano caricature shirt.. GAH! That is horrifying! He looks like a deranged, possessed Cabbage Patch Kids doll trying to kill someone in a horror movie! And for some reason, whoever drew this decided to put him in a suit better suited (see what I did there?) for Ted DiBiase. Let’s take a look at the definition Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: Tatanka! Tie-Dye!

3 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 06 September 2019, 02:00

It’s a tie-dye (?!) Tatanka shirt! It seems really weird that there’s a tie-dye shirt for Tatanka of all people. Is he secretly a hippie Indian? Aren’t tie-dye shirts supposed to be vibrant and colorful? You know, like this one! Tatiana’s Tie-Dye shirt is just sad and boring! Between the black and white picture of Tatanka and the muted, dark colors, this Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: Steve Austin “Bad To The Bonz” shirt

1 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 30 August 2019, 02:00

Here’s the Stone Cold Steve Austin “Bad To The Bonz” shirt. “Bonz”?! Is that pronounced “Bons” like “Bon-Bons”? Oh! They mean “bones”! Because spelling things wrong is cool! I know that’s supposed to be a rattlesnake skeleton, but it really just looks like a magnified sperm to me. “Spermy 3:16 says I just fertilized your egg!” “Aw, what a wastesk Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: WCW Erasable Pens help you fix-up your mix-ups!

5 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 23 August 2019, 02:00

Let’s face it, if you’re booking WCW in the late 90’s, odds are you’re making a lot of mistakes! So you probably don’t want to use a proper ink pen to write out the weekly booking. Fortunately for you, we have this pair of erasable pens featuring Bill Goldberg and Kevin Nash. So when you change your booking plans an hour before Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: Make Hulk Hogan fly to amuse your dog

5 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 16 August 2019, 02:00

It’s a Hulk Hogan Frisbee! Oh, wait no… I’m sorry- “Frisbee” is the legally protected trademark of some other company. This is a Hulk Hogan “Radical Flying Disc”. Whoa! it’s radical, dudes! Please don’t sue me, Frisbee people. It’s not my fault your products aren’t radical. I like that it advertises you can “Do tricks and stunts” with your dog Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: A Disco Inferno shirt? Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!

3 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 09 August 2019, 02:00

Yes, Disco Inferno got his own shirt. Okay, I guess that makes sense- he was pretty over with the crowds at one point. But that was mostly because of his awesome theme song more than anything else. I think I preferred him as a one-note John Travolta ripoff rather than the uber-annoying clueless “white guy pretending to be street” schmuck gimmick Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: He rides a motorcycle?

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

It’s Kane! And he’s… on a motorcycle? Okay, I suppose that looks cool, but I don’t remember ever seeing Kane on a motorcycle on TV before. Maybe he took lessons with Paul Bearer after he killed The Undertaker’s parents? Or maybe The Undertaker decided to be the bigger man and teach him how to ride! They also released figures of Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: Hasbro shows a little skin(ner)

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

All right! It’s an action figure of Skinner! I just love that someone at WWE and someone at Hasbro came together and collectively decided that “Yes! We need to make an action figure of Steve Kern as swamp-dwelling Skinner! The kids will love it!”. In case you’re wondering, the “Gator Breaker” move they so proudly advertise on the package is where Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: WWF TV View ‘n’ Color

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

From 1990, here’s the WWF TV View ‘n’ Color*. You put the slides into the magnifier “TV viewer” and then you can color some of them in. At least I think that’s how this thing works. It seems like it’s probably one of those cheap toys that doesn’t actually work like it’s supposed to. I love the vintage Toys ‘R Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: WCW playing cards

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

For those who have said that WCW wasn’t playing with a full deck toward the end, today we have a set of WCW playing cards from 1999. I wonder who’s on the Joker card?...

Someone Bought This: WWF Attitude “Show Me Your Puppies” shirt (sigh…)

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

This is a fine example of the worst of the worst of the “edgy” Attitude Era merchandise. Jerry Lawler loved to Oogle the Divas and got way, way too excited by their breasts. Or, as he called them “puppies”. In a really annoying, screechy, way-too-excited voice. And he’d call them that again and again and again… WWE decided to Continue Reading...
