Crapper Third String Point Guard writes: If musicians of different genres got together as one in 1985 to record “We Are the World”, the WWF’s heels and faces came damn close to breaking kayfabe by collaborating on this Wrestlecraptacular version of the ’60s classic “Land of a Thousand Dances.” I’ll leave it up to my fellow Crappers to add their Continue Reading...

Obscure, strange, and sometimes downright horrible wrestling merchandise that someone paid good money to obtain.
Someone Bought This: This Sid Vicious shirt is “hard” to beat.
10 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Sun, 23 March 2014, 18:00Straight from the always amazing WCW Worldwide blog comes this.. um… unique WCW Sid Vicious shirt from the early 90’s. I’m not a peter gazer (ahem) or anything, but it’s pretty obvious he was drawn with a visible erection. Also, for some reason he’s posing on Pride Rock from The Lion King… Maybe Sid is just waiting for Rafiki to Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: WCW Talking Mad Caps Soda Toppers featuring Sting and Goldberg
5 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Sat, 22 March 2014, 02:00These are WCW “Talking Mad Caps Soda Toppers” featuring Goldberg and Sting (both of whom look like they’re about ready to take a Trust Fall). They’re the “safe and fun way to drink from soda cans”! Gosh, I didn’t know that drinking from a soda can was so dangerous the way I’ve been doing it my entire life. What exactly is Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: Sting blow-up doll
10 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Thu, 20 March 2014, 02:00Here’s another gem from the WCW Worldwide blog! It’s a Sting blow-up doll (?!). Now, I could go for the easy joke about what this doll looks like… But, I’ll leave that up to you Crappers. Instead, I’ll mention that Sting’s freakishly tiny head reminds me of this scene from Beetlejuice featuring Papa Shango’s late Uncle Hermie Shango:...
Someone Bought This: Fake NWO shirt
10 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Wed, 19 March 2014, 18:00We all know there’s only one New World Order in wrestling. Uh well, okay that isn’t quite true, but when you think of the NWO logo, you think of this: Not that lame logo up there. You could buy this fake NWO shirt and… well, I don’t know why you’d want to buy it (except to support WrestleCrap.com thru Amazon, of course!). Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: Big Bully Busick v-neck shirt
3 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Mon, 17 March 2014, 18:00Nick Busick (who wrestled in WWE as WrestleCrap inductee “Big Bully” Busick) has a nutrition website where he sells protein bars in various flavors, and also this Big Bully v-neck t-shirt which you can order here from Nick’s site. Now if only he sold a glue-on handlebar mustache and bowler hat to go along with it…...
Someone Bought This: Steiner Brothers shirt parodies a horror movie classic
14 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Mon, 17 March 2014, 02:00 I found this early 90’s shirt parodying Frankenstein referencing Scott’s “Frankensteiner” finisher on the WCW Worldwide blog and just had to share it with you, Crappers. I’ve got to give WCW’s merchandising department credit for being pretty creative here- I’d have totally bought this one! It’s ironic that it’s Scott who became the unstoppable monster freak later on…...
Someone Bought This: Hello Kitty New Japan Pro Wrestling t-shirts
13 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Sat, 15 March 2014, 18:00Crapper Robert Coot sent in this news article about New Japan Pro Wrestling selling Hello Kitty crossover t-shirts. You can buy this one here: Or you can buy this one here. This is the understatement of the year, but man; Japanese culture sure is weird. I bet they’ll sell out in no time. Rumored plans for a TNA/Mr. Sparkle crossover Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: WCW’s Raven t-shirt will make you look ignorant
17 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 14 March 2014, 02:00 Again from the WCW Worldwide blog, here’s a Raven t-shirt. The front is fine. Nothing too interesting there… But let’s take a look at the back of the shirt: So what’s the problem? The line in Edgar Allan Poe’s poem “The Raven” is: Quoth the Raven “Nevermore”. Plus, they forgot to put the quotation marks around “Nevermore”. It would Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: “I’m A Paul Heyman Baby” bib.
5 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Mon, 10 March 2014, 02:00If you buy this “I”m A Paul Heyman Baby” bib for your baby then: A). You have too much disposable income (why not buy access to The WrestleCrap Archives instead?), and B). You can expect your baby to grow up bouncing checks much in the same way he bounces his rubber ball now....

Someone Bought This: Buy some time with Buff Bagwell
25 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Wed, 05 March 2014, 14:00I saw this on Lords Of Pain and just had to preserve it here: Earlier we posted a clip of Marcus “Buff” Bagwell appearing on Showtime’s Gigolos show. Bagwell is now working as an escort for the Cowboys4Angels.com website, which partners with the Showtime show. Bagwell’s rates are $800 for two hours, $1,550 for four hours, $3,000 for overnight, $4,500 Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: The WCW Hotline is slightly less expensive than your house
16 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Wed, 05 March 2014, 02:00 I was browsing through the excellent WCW Worldwide blog and I came across this WCW Hotline ad from a later issue of WCW Magazine. Whoa, it cost $1.69 a minute?! That’s crazy! It says the average call lasts 5 minutes, but let’s assume you’re going to spend at least 10 minutes listening to the hotline because Mark Madden is just that Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: Buff Bagwell looks special. Maybe it’s Maybelline?
8 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Mon, 03 March 2014, 02:00Crapper Micah sent in this t-shirt with a very uh… unique picture of Buff Bagwell. He’s wearing so much foundation that he reminds me of Doink The Clown’s clown white makeup for crying out loud! Seriously, if Buff was wearing any more makeup he’d be a shoe-in finalist on RuPaul’s Drag Race. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that). Even Johnny Continue Reading...

It Came From YouTube: Hulk Hogan finds a hot date to take to his restaurant
7 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Thu, 27 February 2014, 11:14You know, between this commercial, and this other commercial featuring Jimmy Hart that we’ve featured in the past; I’m really starting to wonder some things about The Mouth Of The South… CrossDressingJimmyHart.com! I bet that URL’s not taken! But if it is, I really don’t want to know… On the plus side, Jimmy is probably a more interesting and smarter date Continue Reading...
It Came From YouTube: Brock Lesnar Vs. Torrie Wilson in what kind of match?!
7 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Wed, 26 February 2014, 13:03Crapper E-Squared writes: The thing that always got me about this commercial is how on earth is a guy supposed to compete in a “bra and panties” match, with a woman at that. I really would not want to know if he is already in his wrestling attire. 😉 Other than that, I think the standout part of this commercial Continue Reading...

11 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Mon, 24 February 2014, 02:00Crapper Micah writes: You know why this commercial is only 30 seconds long? Because that’s exactly how long you could have fun with these. Yeah… “Hey kids, stick your thumb right up Hulk Hogan’s poop chute!”.

I’m on it! I love that someone took the time to customize a Barry Horowitz figure. I’m sure he’d be best friends with R.D’s custom Gooker figure.

It Came From YouTube: Suspiciously old kids in WWF LJN figures toy commercial
7 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Tue, 11 February 2014, 02:00Crapper Little Louie P (a.k.a. The Doctor of Style) writes: In commercials, it’s a common trick by toy companies to cast kids who are older than the toy’s target audience. However, LJN was really pushing the envelope with this one. I bet an hour after posing their action figures for the camera, these two kids were buying their weekly Clearasil Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: In memory of R.D’s WWE Niagara Falls Cup
19 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Sun, 09 February 2014, 17:54We’ve experienced a loss in the WrestleCrap family today. No; not the loss of a person, but the loss of a very important thing that was very much a part of the bedrock of WrestleCrap Radio. Today I saw a Tweet from R.D Reynolds that broke my heart. It’s the kind of thing you never want to read. I knew Continue Reading...
