Crapper Paul S. writes: Thought the Hello Kitty New Japan shirt was something? Check this shirt featuring Tetsuya Naito being managed by none other than Astro Boy. Also here’s a T-shirt for last year’s G1 Climax featuring Kinnikuman whose toyline was brought to the US twice under the name M.U.S.C.L.E in the 1980s and later “Ultimate Muscle” in 2002.

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...

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!
7 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Thu, 10 April 2014, 02:00Another treat from the WCW Worldwide blog, This is a t-shirt (sold at the event, I assume) to commemorate a special episode of WCW Monday Nitro that took place on April 10th, 2000.

It Came From YouTube: Ultimate Warrior Slim Jim commercial
2 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Wed, 09 April 2014, 17:32Aside from his promos and unforgettable matches, this was always one of my favorite Ultimate Warrior memories- his Slim Jim commercial!

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 very first WrestleCrap dessert?
4 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Thu, 03 April 2014, 13:00I was browsing around The Official MoonPie Site (yes, such a thing exists). I saaw that they have a feature called “My MoonPie” where you can make and order a customized MoonPie box with any photo you want on the box filled with those delicious, delectable treats! The idea is for you to use a photo of you, or your friends, 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. For those of you Crappers who have never heard of them, M.U.S.C.L.E (which stood for “Millions of Unusual Small Creatures Lurking Everywhere”- how cool is that?!) figures were small PVC figures of intergalactic wrestlers. You can read more about them here. The ring let Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: WCW Magazine ad with more of Ralphus than you’d ever want to see!
8 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Tue, 25 March 2014, 02:00From the WCW Worldwide blog, it’s an ad for WCW Magazine featuring Ralphus’ bare ass. Oh yeah, this certainly makes me want to fork over my hard-earned money for this magazine! Presumably Raalphus had the magazine handy not to read, but just in case he ran out of toilet paper. That would certainly be a better use for it…...
It Came From YouTube: Land Of 1,000 Dances video
10 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Mon, 24 March 2014, 02:00Crapper 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...
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

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: 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...
