It Came From YouTube: The Mountie gets propositioned by a guy in jail
6 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Thu, 21 March 2013, 09:48After The Mountie lost a match to The Big Bossman at SummerSlam ’91, he was thrown in jail. See, the implication here is that he’s about to get forcibly sodomized by his effeminate leather-fetishist cellmate which is apparently supposed to be really funny because The Mountie is a bad guy and therefore he deserves it (um, or something). Oh, Those Continue Reading...

It Came From YouTube Classic: Cowboy Bob Orton’s Hat Gets Eaten
2 Submitted by RD Reynolds on Wed, 20 March 2013, 10:00It has been a joy getting to watch the old UWF reruns on ESPN Classic this week.

Someone Bought This: Michael Buffer WCW figure
8 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Tue, 19 March 2013, 19:36It’s a WCW Michael Buffer action figure from ToyBiz.
