Crapper Brian writes: While looking up information about the Disney Adventures Magazine with Hulk Hogan, I stumbled upon this little gem. I’m not 100% if this was just for Hogan because one of the listings has Big Boss Man, Ultimate Warrior, Mr. Perfect, Barbarian, and Bobby “The Brain” Heenan It’s a picture book titled “A True Champion (An Adventure with Continue Reading...

Obscure, strange, and sometimes downright horrible wrestling merchandise that someone paid good money to obtain.
Someone Bought This: Hulk Hogan is on the cover of Disney Adventures- and he’s not alone!
15 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Wed, 07 May 2014, 02:00If you’re of a certain age, you probably used to read Disney Adventures Magazine in the 90’s. Here’s the August 1991 issue with Hulk Hogan holding a dinosaurs head the cover and it says “Dinosaurs And Hulk!”. If you’re like me, you’re asking “What in the name of Barry O are they talking about?!” Well, since I don’t have this Continue Reading...

It Came From YouTube: Lazer-tron- a gimmick based on an 80’s toy gun!
8 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Mon, 05 May 2014, 02:00Poor Hector Guerrero… Before he was The Gobbledy Gooker, he was Lazer-Tron in the NWA! The gimmick was based on a popular gun toy called Lazer Tag made in 1986 by Worlds Of Wonder (the same company who made Teddy Ruxpin). The game came with two guns and two targets. You and your friend would grab the guns, and put Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: You can appear with The Undertaker or Bret Hart in a cheesy photo
8 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Sun, 04 May 2014, 02:00 Crapper Louis Izzo writes: A few months ago, I sent in pictures from an issue of WWF Magazine, Summer of 1993, which advertised a weird plaque of WrestleMania IX that would have your name in the marquee. I couldn’t imagine anyone spending money on such an odd looking piece of merchandise, but then I saw this in the November Continue Reading...
It Came From YouTube: When you hear this song, Linda McMahon is coming to spice things up!
5 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Sat, 03 May 2014, 02:00You may know this song as the WrestleMania song from WrestleMania: The Album (buy your copy today!), but true wrestling fans know that if you take out the vocals and all the sound clips, it magically becomes Linda McMahon’s theme song! Thus ensuring that if you hear this instrumental, you’re sure to be in for some fine robotic “emoting” and Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: WCW Talking Sting Mug
6 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 02 May 2014, 02:00Bryan (who runs the awesome WCW Worldwide blog) found this goofy WCW Talking Sting Mug (?!). Here’s what he wrote about it on the blog entry: Featuring classic Stinger quips like “UGHHH…” and “I’ll be back”!! Yeah, that just about sums it up. I guess when Sting isn’t threatening the NWO, or constipated, he’s impersonating Arnold Schwarzenegger? This is one of Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: The Nasty Boys know how to look tough in their own t-shirt
8 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Wed, 30 April 2014, 02:00Another gem from the WCW Worldwide Blog, it’s an early 90’s WCW Nasty Boys t-shirt. Because nothing says “Dangerous, street-tough punks” like an acid-washed t-shirt. This shirt would go perfect with some vintage early 90’s acid-washed jeans and a jean jacket. Oh yeah, and a mullet. Then you’ll be all set to conquer Nastyville in style!...
Someone Bought This: TNA Willow Golf Umbrella
15 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Sat, 26 April 2014, 02:00Crapper Benjamin Trecroci writes: Or at least they think someone will buy it. Wow, it’s not just an umbrella, it’s a golf umbrella! I didn’t think it was possible to look any dumber playing golf, but if you bring this thing with you onto the golf course, then fore-gat about it!

Induction: Barry Didinsky – Life’s a pitch, and then you buy an Undertaker jean jacket
58 Submitted by Art0Donnell on Thu, 24 April 2014, 20:00WWF, 1995 Hulk Hogan. Steve Austin. D-Generation X. The nWo. What do they all have in common? All of them generated huge merchandise sales. Also, unfortunately for Vince McMahon, none of these entities were wrestling in the WWF in 1995. So what could a promoter do when none of his stars were exactly raking in the cash at the merch Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: The Giant Gonzalez Hasbro figure is amazing and it can be yours!
20 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Thu, 24 April 2014, 05:26I stumbled upon this Giant Gonzalez Hasbro figure on Amazon. Here’s a picture of the Amazon listing: Several things crossed my mind immediately when I found this wonderful figure: 1.

Someone Bought This: A WCW Pen
11 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 18 April 2014, 02:00Crapper Sean Bateman writes: At least it is better than the cologne WCW hocked And look who made the pen… “PARKER!” I wonder if this is the same pen Eric Bischoff used to sign all those useless loafs to bloated guaranteed contracts? Or maybe it’s the one Jamie Kellner used to sign the papers to remove WCW from the Turner Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: WCW Hog Wild Denim Vest
13 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Thu, 17 April 2014, 02:00Crapper Sean Bateman writes: On eBay, this vest will set you back $150 plus shipping Ah, yes… Because nothing says “I’m a tough biker” like a denim vest with a purple and gold wrestling Pay-Per-View logo on the back....

It Came From YouTube: The Ultimate Warrior fights a giant snail so you’ll buy a Ford!
11 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Sun, 13 April 2014, 13:00In 1987 The Ultimate Warrior (then known as “The Dingo Warrior” in World Class Championship Wrestling) appeared in a series of commercials for “Westway Ford” which is a Ford car dealership in Texas that is still in business to this day. It’s “Snail Damage III”? So they’ve had a problem with snail damage at least twice before? What happened?! There just Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: WCW Thunder Bill Goldberg shaped memory card for your Playstation
13 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Sun, 13 April 2014, 02:00Crapper Paul S. found this Bill Goldberg shaped memory card for your Playstation promoting the WCW Thunder game (which we’ve covered before) on the excellent WCW Worldwide blog. Unlike the real Goldberg, I bet this memory card can remember not to punch a non-gimmicked limousine window. (Okay, I guess that joke didn’t make a lot of sense…)...
Someone Bought This: A private wrestling session with Nicole Bass! Includes lifting and carrying.
11 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 11 April 2014, 02:00Bodybuilder Nicole Bass had a short stint in the WWF in the late 90’s that wasn’t very memorable except for the fact that it introduced many of us to her… unique look, voice and physique. I’ve got to hand it to her, she certainly stood out amongst all the other female wrestlers! She couldn’t cut a promo or wrestle to Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: WCW rebooted 14 years ago today and made a t-shirt to celebrate!

It was 14 years ago on this very day that WCW “rebooted” with a special episode of WCW Monday Nitro. You can read CRZ’s recap of the episode Continue Reading...

It Came From YouTube: Listen to Randy Savage’s “Be A Man” album!
2 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Wed, 09 April 2014, 02:00Yes, now you can listen to “Macho Man” Randy Savage’s “Be A Man” album in its’ entirety! This one will never come close to topping Hulk Hogan’s album in my book. Randy’s album is nowhere near as cheesy or fun....
It Came From YouTube: Shawn Michaels’ theme song as sung by who? (No, not Jim Jim Neidhart)
11 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Mon, 07 April 2014, 02:00Crapper Christian Grimmett writes: This is an unused version of Shawn Michaels theme. That may sound ordinary, but listen to the singer. Doesn’t he sound.., Familiar? Of course, it’s not confirmed, but a lot of people have picked up on the singer sounding suspiciously like good ol’ Vinnie Mac. I guess I’ll leave it up to you. I’m 99% sure Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: Wrestlemania V Shirt
10 Submitted by Jordan Mishkin on Sat, 05 April 2014, 15:00Normally, the Big Cheese writes Someone Bought This, but I’ve left a trail of Reese’s Pieces leading from his computer to the woods so I can take over. Remember BC, if you get lost, you can always find East by staring directly into the sun. The title “Someone Bought This” is appropriate because this Wrestlemania V shirt belongs to me, Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: The Hulk Hogan Fit Kit is great! Just ask Hulk Hogan.
9 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Thu, 03 April 2014, 02:00Hulk Hogan does what he does best by shilling for his Fit Kit which looks like it includes a bunch of stuff you could buy at your local GNC or Mom and Pop health store for a lot less money. Hey, it even has a cookie!...

Someone Bought This: The M.U.S.C.L.E Hard Knockin’ Rockin’ Ring
21 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 28 March 2014, 02:00My buddy Matt over at Dinosaur Dracula did an article on the M.U.S.C.L.E Hard Knockin’ Rockin’ Ring.

You can read more about them here. The ring let Continue Reading...
