Look what I found! It’s a 12″ U.K Hacksaw Jim Duggan U.S.A Picture Disc! It features 3 versions of “U.S.A”: Extended Club Mix Techno Mix Album Version Yes, I get the irony of this being a U.K exclusive (somebody call Alanis Morissette!) I’m getting a fantastic image of Hacksaw up in the DJ booth at a nightclub spinning these three versions Continue Reading...

It Came From YouTube: Toot! Toot! It’s Tugboat’s theme song!
4 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Tue, 05 August 2014, 02:00It turns out that all you need to make a theme song is a tugboat horn sound effect, and a sweet late-80’s Casio keyboard with a functioning Demo button. Poor Fred Ottman. Between the whole Shockmaster incident (which again, wasn’t his fault!), and having to listen to this lame theme song every night for months at a time while doing Continue Reading...
***Cancelled*** Meet Art0Donnell at Baltimore’s King of the Ring Night
2 Submitted by Art0Donnell on Mon, 04 August 2014, 12:00Tonight’s event is cancelled due to technical difficulties with the computer to be used. It may or may not have been the one Terri Runnells used in the early ’90s to help Michael Wallstreet win matches. Thursday, August 14th is King of the Ring night at Baltimore’s Windup Space. This month’s theme is 1989. We’ll be literally hanging from the Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: This is a dream matchup?
12 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Mon, 04 August 2014, 02:00I stumbled onto this wrestling magazine from the late 90’s and the cover made me laugh. Roddy Piper Vs. Steve Austin is a dream match? Who thought this was a dream match?! Yeah, I don’t know either, Mr. Mountain Rock! “Revenge”? Revenge for what?! Did Steve steal Roddy’s newspaper? Did Roddy let his dog poop on Steve’s lawn? Inquiring minds Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: Finally you can throw your sticky balls right at Hulk Hogan’s face!
7 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Sun, 03 August 2014, 02:00Yes, you can do just that thanks to the miracle of velcro, and the Hulk Hogan Safety Target Set. Oh sure, it’s not as rewarding as lobbing a sharp-tipped dart at Hulk’s forehead, but I guess this is okay, too… And check out Hulk’s forehead! Yes ladies, finally, we have proof that Hulk is in fact a “10”! Ooh la-la! Actually, Continue Reading...
Note from Blade: Greatest jobber tag-team ever. Stay gold, Pony Boy! In the history of pro wrestling there has been countless masked tag-team menaces. Generic “assassins,” “executioners,” and “gladiators” have filled the sport for decades. There is one team however that will live on in infamy long after all the masked men have hung up their hoods for good. Yes, Continue Reading...
It Came From YouTube: Bryan and Vinny talk about Pacman Jones in TNA
4 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Sat, 02 August 2014, 02:00I know we inducted Pacman Jones already, but this was too good not to post. From August 2007, Bryan and Vinny talk about the complete and total disaster that was Pacman Jones TNA run as it was happening!

Headlies: Stephanie McMahon Participates In “Scared Straight” Program
5 Submitted by Jordan Mishkin on Fri, 01 August 2014, 08:00Miami, FL – WWE Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon met with a group of at-risk girls at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center for the state’s “Scared Straight” program. McMahon, who was recently arrested for striking former WWE Diva Brie Bella, discussed prison life to the girls in a frank and blunt manner. “I don’t care who you are or Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: Hillbilly Jim’s chart-topping single
9 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 01 August 2014, 02:00Here’s the single for Hillbilly Jim’s classic song from The Wrestling Album “Don’t Go Messin’ With A Country Boy”. I like the reflective, content look on Jim’s face on the picture sleeve. He’s probably content because he just got done having a grueling, exhausting wrestling match with his trusty hound dog Bubba on a soiled mattress. (eww….). AManAmongMen.com! I bet Continue Reading...
Induction: The Piñata on a Pole match – Vince Russo, pendejo extraordinario
56 Submitted by Art0Donnell on Thu, 31 July 2014, 20:00
WCW, 1999 One advantage WCW always had over WWF was its cruiserweight division. Sure, the WWF had a light heavyweight division, but it paled in comparison to WCW’s, in terms of both match quality and roster depth. Just look at the WWF’s Light Heavyweight Title tournament from 1997 – they needed ringers to fill most of the spots in the Continue Reading...
It Came From YouTube: Mick Foley is a sensitive and caring man
2 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Wed, 30 July 2014, 02:00Crapper Sean Bateman writes: You gotta love storytime with Mick Foley I can’t add anything to Mick’s awesome story to make it any funnier, so I shall just bow out. Wait a minute! Vince McMahon eats Chinese takeout? I never pictured him as the type. Now I want to see video of Vince with chopsticks eating out of a takeout Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake foam clippers are a cut above the rest!
24 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Tue, 29 July 2014, 02:00These Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake foam hedge clippers erm.. I mean “scissors” were sold at WWF live events in the early 1990’s. The scissors even let you move the blades together! These were the perfect gift for the young aspiring barbers (or gardeners?) in the WWF audience! The image used above is courtesy of RadWrestling.com’s Foam Finger section (check out all the Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: WWF Power Squirts squirt gun toys
9 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Mon, 28 July 2014, 02:00Yes, with the WWF Power Grip Squirts toys you can really pretend that your favorite wrestlers are spitting at each other like camels! What fun! They actually look more like over-sized PEZ candy dispensers to me....
Headlies: WWE’s stringent no-urine policy continues to outrage fans
11 Submitted by Art0Donnell on Sun, 27 July 2014, 12:00Since 2008, WWE has attempted to project a more family-friendly image to earn a TV-PG rating and appeal to a wider demographic. Among the changes the company has instituted, such as milder language and a ban on chair-shots to the head, one policy has vexed long-time fans more than any other: the total ban on urine in matches. Gone is Continue Reading...
It Came From YouTube: David Arquette IS El Asso Wipo!
3 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Sun, 27 July 2014, 02:00Crapper Cameron Archer writes: I loved David Herman’s original El Asso Wipo (English: The Ass Wiper, The Wiper [WWF]). The masked Argentinian had a definite moral code – babies and priests were out, but everyone else could expect for El Asso Wipo to break their backs like so, with his knee. Señor Bag of Crap ended the sketch with his famous gimmick. El Asso Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This Classic: Canadian Koko B. Ware Shirt
13 Submitted by Blade Braxton on Sat, 26 July 2014, 15:00Canadian Koko B. Ware Shirt Here’s a great t-shirt I found for sale. After all, when I think of all-time great Canadian wrestlers in the WWE Hall of Fame, I think of Bret Hart, Stu Hart and… Koko B. Ware? Oh Canada, My home and native…birdcage??...
It Came From YouTube: The Leprechaun: Origins trailer staring Hornswoggle is here! Lucky us!
36 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Sat, 26 July 2014, 15:00UPDATE: 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...

1 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 25 July 2014, 15:00The Rock appeared on Jimmy Fallon a few days ago and explained just how he got so ripped for his new movie Hercules! He did it with the help of an old exercise tape featuring The Fungo Brothers!...
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...
Someone Bought This: Mad Magazine’s WWF Magazine cover parody from 1987 manages to predict the WWF future correctly!
21 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Thu, 24 July 2014, 02:00Straight from Doug Gilford’s Mad Cover Site here is the back cover to Mad Magazine Issue #272 from July of 1987 featuring Harold “The Killer Accountant”. 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...
Someone Bought This: This Barry Horowitz trading card is a true collectable!
14 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Wed, 23 July 2014, 02:00From the 1990 Classic WWF trading card series comes this Barry Horowitz card. Remember, this was a full 5 years before he actually got a push from beating Skip. 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...
It Came From YouTube: M-I-C… K-E-Y. Why? Because he’s a wrestling fan!
11 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Tue, 22 July 2014, 02:00This special It Came From YouTube goes out to long-time Crapper Randall B., the biggest Disney fanatic on the face of the Earth!

Here’s an alternative YouTube link for it: Without spoiling the cartoon, all I’ll say is that Mickey is one very lucky rodent! Of 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...
