We’ve covered the WWE’s failed football league the XFL in an induction before here on WrestleCrap, but this book “Long Bomb” explains just how Vince McMahon came up with the idea, what went so very, very wrong with the league, and why it only lasted one season. It’s out of print, but used and new copies are readily available on Continue Reading...

Obscure, strange, and sometimes downright horrible wrestling merchandise that someone paid good money to obtain.
Someone Bought This: Hulk Hogan Costume That Makes One Fan Incredibly Angry…I Think
19 Submitted by RD Reynolds on Sat, 19 October 2013, 09:00I was just looking for a Halloween outfit, and stumbled upon this: No big deal, right? Just a Hulk Hogan kids costume. But it gets an rather inexplicable TWO-STAR Review (two stars????) from kenny in livingstone, nj! And I quote: “kenny (livingston n.j) 3/11/2013 10:24 PM bully ray did not really win at lockdown. strip the title and give it back Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: World Wide Cheesehead Championship Belt
22 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Wed, 16 October 2013, 07:49Being “The Big Cheese” Paul Kraft you’d better believe that I know cheese when I see it. I mean that both figuratively, and literally with this World Wide Cheesehead Championship Belt I found! It’s made by a company called Foamation. They make those Cheesehead cheese wedge hats you see at Green Bay Packers games. I guess it would be useful if Continue Reading...

16 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Tue, 15 October 2013, 02:37Crapper Chris found this beautiful and stunning (okay, it’s really neither of those things but I wanted to class the joint up a bit) Steve Blackman gold trading card on eBay and writes: I have a hard time believing this weird all gold collectors card of The Lethal Weapon Steve Blackman is a real thing. I mean, I know I am Continue Reading...
With the good Lord above as my witness and I am NOT making this up, I thought this said “Future Endeavored.” With it being the Knockouts division, which has been absolutely leveled as of late, you can understand my confusion. I am still confused by one thing, though – why does this bib appear to be absolutely filthy? Are they Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: Ric Flair… in Boglin form!
1 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 11 October 2013, 00:00I found this Boglin clone of Ric Flair on this blog and had to share. I bet the Boglin is better at managing his money, though. He probably doesn’t have a string of ex-wife Boglins, either… I bet he ate them. Happy Halloween, Crappers!...
Ever wanted to put your left cheek on Miz’s face, or have Great Khali staring at your taint? Got a couple hundred bucks in your pocket? Then this eBay auction has your name all over it! (Unfortunately, your name is sucker.) ...
Someone Bought This: Neon entrance from early WWF “Monday Night Raw” episodes

And so, to acomplish they did the most logical, obvious thing… They bought this horribly ugly, garish, and loud neon entrance set decoration featuring about 9 different, clashing colors and the good old Continue Reading...
It Came From YouTube: The Four Horseman shill for Vitamins
5 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Wed, 11 September 2013, 00:00The Four Horseman reveal the amazing secret to their great wrestling ability… VITAMINS!

It Came From YouTube: Hulk Hogan’s Punch-Out! Erm.. I mean “Main Event” video game review
12 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Tue, 03 September 2013, 08:54This is a review of Hulk Hogan’s Main Event for the Xbox 360. It’s basically a bad Wii Punch-Out clone with some minimal Hulk Hogan branding sprinkled over it. Do everything Hogan says, or you lose. You have no control over your destiny. Just like in the TNA locker room, brother! On the other hand, it’s cheap… so if you Continue Reading...

10 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Sat, 31 August 2013, 23:03Crapper Sean Bateman sent this in and writes: A John Cena LCD watch for $2 at a dollar store? You gotta be kidding me. One of those watches has to be at least $15 at Walmart or at Target That looks like something you’d get for 500 tickets at Chuck E. Cheese, or maybe free in a box of Boo Berry. You can’t see me, but Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: TNA wants how much for an X-Division Championship belt?
3 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Thu, 29 August 2013, 17:44That’s a nice X-Division Championship belt, isn’t it? Do you know how much TNA wants for it? $2000! You think I’m joking? Now, to be fair; it looks like the belt isn’t just a “replica” belt, but an actual copy of the real X-Division title made from the same materials as the real deal (no, not The Real Deal- nobody Continue Reading...

5 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Wed, 28 August 2013, 13:11Here’s Joe Gagne’s review of “Body Slam! Super Pro Wrestling” on the Intellivision. I’m mostly posting it because I just love the names of the wrestlers on the game’s roster. The game is apparently surprisingly good with some pretty innovative gameplay, despite the wrestlers looking like they came out of Nickelodeon’s “Doug” cartoon....

5 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Sun, 25 August 2013, 21:13Crapper Scott Lowry sent this in and writes: You will dig this. Fisher Price toys has this line called Imaginext which is basically the modern version of the Adventure People line from the 70’s-80’s. It includes pirates, knights, ninjas, DC superheroes and Spongebob Squarepants. They just came out with blind-bag Imaginext figures that are generally pretty cool, but don’t exactly Continue Reading...

4 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Wed, 21 August 2013, 19:41Paul over at Infomercial Hell covers two print ads Hulk Hogan did for an erectile disfunction pill, and a prostate health pill. I’ll let Paul talk about the ads themselves.

Someone Bought This: WWE takes out a $31,000,000 loan to buy a jet!
11 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Mon, 12 August 2013, 18:27WWE just took out a $31,000,000 loan to buy a brand spankin’ new jet. I wonder what was so wrong with their old jet?

Oh well, at least now Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: WWE is now selling a Wyatt Family Sheep Mask. Oh, the irony…
17 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Thu, 01 August 2013, 08:05The irony of the WWE selling this mask to hordes of fans based on a gimmick of like-minded cultists who are all about group-think (while still claiming to be individuals, of course) spouting mindless nonsense is simply stunning. “We here in the WWE Marketing Department think you fans are a bunch of mindless sheep, and we’ll prove it by mass-marketing this sheep Continue Reading...

3 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Wed, 31 July 2013, 00:00Presenting a very uncomfortable moment from SummerSlam 1993 showing what happens when a fan calls the SummerSlam Hotline and gets the “privilege” of being put live over the air to ask a wrestler a question.
