Someone Bought This: Stupid in America, and Banned In Canada!

0 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 14 January 2022, 02:00

Crapper Paul S. writes: So back during the late 90s/early 00s TSN would air RAW on tape delay and occasionally edit out some of the more violent or racier moments. So looking to make a quick buck the WWF released a “Banned in Canada” VHS tape featuring a whopping 2015 35 minutes of uncensored footage of Steve Austin swearing, DX Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: Jeff Jarrett gone horribly wrong!

2 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 07 January 2022, 02:00

This monstrosity of a WWF Jakks Pacific Jeff Jarret figure is apparently a re-painted Owen Hart figure. But he doesn’t really look anything like Owen, either… It’s the all new Terrible Birth Defect Jeff Jarrett toy!...

Someone Bought This: Val Venis Beanie Baby teddy bear

From the Attitude Era, here’s a nice Beanie Baby teddy bear of porn star Val Venis. You know, for kids!...

Someone Bought This: Tiny WWF skateboards?

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

It’s Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker miniature toy skateboards. So if you like A). Wrestling. B). Skateboards and C). Small things …Then I guess this is just the toy for you. ...

Someone Bought This: The Kat shirt

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

It’s a Miss Kitty / The Kat WWF shirt. I find it hard to believe that anybody of either gender cared about her enough to buy a shirt with her on it. Maybe Jerry Lawler bought a few dozen?...

Someone Bought This: Ready To Rumble- The Motion Picture Soundtrack!

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

It’s the soundtrack to the terrible WCW movie Ready To Rumble! Let’s take a look at the songs on it: 1. Get Ready – … 2. Bloodstains – The Offspring 3. We’re Not Gonna Take It – Bif Naked 4. Bawitdaba (Lower Than You Remix) – Kid Rock 5. King Of Rock – Run-D.M.C. 6. Diamond Dallas Page (King Of Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: You’d better Watch-It because Sting is here!

0 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 03 December 2021, 02:00

It’s a WCW Sting “Watch-It” clip-on watch. I guess you could put it on your backpack or something but this really seems more like something an 8 year old girl would buy- all you’d have to do was make it pink and put Barbie on it....

Someone Bought This: The lamest piece of NWO merchandise ever

0 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 26 November 2021, 02:00

Oh yeah, because when I think “Bad Ass Renegade Wrestling Faction” I immediately think “Vending Machine Bouncy Ball”… ...

Someone Bought This: Early 90’s WCW stickers might blind you

1 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 19 November 2021, 02:00

Today we have some WCW vinyl stickers! Wow, look at those uh… unique blindingly bright, colorful backgrounds (hello early 90’s!) and artwork that only vaguely resembles the wrestler it’s supposed to be representing. How hard would it have been to just put some actual pictures of the wrestlers on the stickers? Who decided to put ugly artwork on these instead?!...

Someone Bought This: WCW Thunder crew shirt

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

Can you imagine working your butt off as a crew member for WCW and you get stuck doing it on WCW Thunder; the worst wrestling show on TV at the time? Oh, the shame and humiliation…...

Someone Bought This: Custom Zach Gowen figure.

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

It’s a customized WWE Hasbro figure of Zach Gowen that I found on eBay. Because… I guess someone would want to buy this?...

Someone Bought This: 1991 WBF Bodybuilding Championships shirt

2 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 29 October 2021, 02:00

Wow, I wonder if WWE sold even 100 of these 1991 WBF Bodybuilding Championship shirts?...

Someone Bought This: It’s more than just a WCW belt buckle…

4 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 22 October 2021, 02:00

It’s a WCW Monday Nitro belt buckle toy ring with figures! Look at that crowd they drew on this belt buckle! I’ve never seen a radically diverse crowd like that at any wrestling show, ever! Check out the guy holding the WCW flag! It’s Geraldo Rivera! Who knew Geraldo was a wrestling fan?! So the only way you could really Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: The Rockers rip-off a legend’s trendy fashion style

1 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 15 October 2021, 02:00

I want you to try and tear your eyes away from Shawn and Marty’s teal and white Zebra striped pants (!) and check out those shirts with the awesomely-cheesy Rockers logo. (You can get a replica of the shirt here!). The shirts would have been silly enough as it is, but they decided to go the extra mile and cut chunks out Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: Who says a figure has to look true to life?

1 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 08 October 2021, 02:00

In 1997 Jakks-Pacific decided to release a figure of Sunny. What they didn’t decide to do is make it look anything like her. I mean really, you have Tammy Sytch who at the time was smoking hot and Jakks decides to make her look like the victim of a badly botched plastic surgery! She looks like she’s been killed by Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: Sid Vicious has a real magnetic personality

3 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 01 October 2021, 02:00

Sid can be the master and ruler of that A+ you got on your math test with this WCW Sid Vicious magnet!...

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?

0 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 03 September 2021, 02:00

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

1 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! ...
