UPDATE: Here’s the full trailer for Leprechaun: Origins. I love the original Leprechaun series which is (almost) always highly entertaining thanks to the very talented Warwick Davis. This movie just looks terrible. Not scary, not funny, not worth seeing. When the acting in the trailer (you know, the lines they picked to best represent the movie!) are so bad that Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: Androgynous Marty Jannetty squirt head toy
16 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Sat, 26 July 2014, 02:00 In the late 80’s the WWF released a line of Squirt Head water toys including Marty Jannetty from The Rockers. Is it me, or does Marty look a little (well, a lot) feminine here? I mean, between the soft facial features, the shaped eyebrows, the long hair, and the pink lipstick (!!!) he’s inexplicably wearing, this is one weird Continue Reading...

Headlies: Bray Wyatt Promo Only Heard By Dogs
2 Submitted by Jordan Mishkin on Fri, 25 July 2014, 08:00Miami, FL – Following his loss to Chris Jericho at Battleground, Bray Wyatt directly addressed the crowd during Monday Night Raw. Unfortunately, Wyatt’s voice was so quiet that only dogs were able to hear it. Wyatt, famous for his unique promo style, tries to draw viewers in with by speaking softly and using a varied vocabulary. In recent weeks, his promos have Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: Who (not him) is that masked wrestler? He looks familiar…
11 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 25 July 2014, 02:00No, it’s not Jim Neidhart (despite the similarities). It’s the terrifying masked heel Pooh The Punisher! I found this Pooh The Punisher bean bag toy (okay, so that’s just the name I gave his gimmick) and could only come to one obvious conclusion… He must be the founding member of the Pooh World Order. Hey, all that honey isn’t going to pay Continue Reading...
Induction: Under The Mat – Even Clarence Mason couldn’t defend Diana’s book in court
43 Submitted by Art0Donnell on Thu, 24 July 2014, 20:00
Fenn Publishing, 2001 When a wrestling fan hears the book title, Under The Mat, he or she (probably he) most likely assumes it to be about the shenanigans that happen when wrestlers hide beneath the ring to do surprise run-ins. One might expect to hear funny stories about the time the nWo’s toilet bucket tipped over during a show and Continue Reading...

That’s a full four years before Mike Rotunda came into the WWF with the very similar I.R.S “evil Taxman” gimmick! Do you suppose someone in WWF Creative was a Mad Magazine fan in the late Continue Reading...

You Crappers know how much I love Barry (we’ve even featured his t-shirt in a past Someone Bought This!), but man; if I had gotten this card from some kid in Continue Reading...
Note from Blade: First jobber we ever profiled and arguably one of the greatest. Before I made my selection on who would be the first ever Wrestlecrap Jobber Of The Week, I had to be sure my candidate had the right qualifications, so I pulled out my handy guidebook “Requirements To Be A Preliminary Wrestler In The 80’s-WWF Version.” Lets Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: “Free For All”? Well, you get what you pay for…
12 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Mon, 21 July 2014, 02:00In the mid-90’s, the WWF would air a free match on the Pay-Per-View channel before a Pay-Per-View would start, to entice you to buy the event. They called these free matches “Free For All”. Get it? ‘Cause they were free… for all! What they often were not, were very good matches. This VHS tape put out by Coliseum Home Video Continue Reading...
Classic Induction: Family Matters with the Bushwackers – Cousin Luke, Cousin Butch, and Cousin URKEL??!!
25 Submitted by RD Reynolds on Sun, 20 July 2014, 15:00
Television Show, 1994 Text by Triple Kelly One of the most popular sitcoms of the 90s was a snazzy little series called Family Matters. The character of Harriette Winslow originally appeared on Perfect Strangers as the elevator operator of Larry and Balki’s at the Chicago Chronicle, which in those days…and probably now, was enough for ABC Network to greenlight a spin-off for Continue Reading...
It Came From YouTube: Scott Steiner knows how to have a good time on the job
16 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Sun, 20 July 2014, 02:00The only way this clip could possibly be any better is if Scott was on a Pogo Bal (which they still make!) instead of a Pogo Stick. Those things are awesome! I kind of want to buy one, now....

I love Sid’s promos because he (usually) alternates between whispering, and yelling! Plus, when he yells he always looks like he’s in desperate need of more fiber in his diet....
