Induction: Hunter Hearst Helmsley – Bow down to the king (or just curtsy)
41 Submitted by Art0Donnell on Thu, 26 June 2014, 19:30
WWF, 1995-1997 Believe it or not, there was a time when Triple H was under-appreciated in the WWF. The man born Paul Michael Levesque was brought into the Federation under an embarrassing gimmick like a common grappler and not the King of Kings. That’s because, before he was Vince’s Only Begotten Son-In-Law, he was just another solid worker jobbing to Continue Reading...
It Came From YouTube: Sing Along With 3 Count!
6 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Thu, 26 June 2014, 16:503 Count and their awesome theme song came up in the comments for R.D’s The Nitro With No Wrestling induction (if you haven’t read it yet, what are you waiting for?!) so I felt obligated to post it here (complete with custom TurnerTron!). Kudos to WCW for actually setting out to make something funny and clever that turned out… funny and clever! Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: TNA Six Sided Ring play set
11 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Thu, 26 June 2014, 15:00TNA is bringing back the Six Sided Ring because they’re desperate to re-live the glory days of the promotion and don’t care about the wrestlers’ safety the fans demanded it! In celebration of that, here’s the Six Sided ring play set for your figures. Does not come with newly-crippled and angry wrestling figures. I bet the ropes in this toy ring Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: West Texas Rednecks Rap Is Crap World Tour ’99 shirt
8 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Thu, 26 June 2014, 15:00 I found this West Texas Rednecks Rap Is Crap ’99 World Tour Shirt on eBay. Yes, wrestling’s most awesome country music group featuring the late, great Curt Hennig did get their own shirt! (I can’t believe WCW booked these guys as heels, and the No Limit Solider dorks with Mr. HOOTIE-HOO Master P. as faces. What a typical WCW Continue Reading...
Classic Induction: WrestleMania Challenge – Hulkamania Battles Donkey Kong, Brother!
11 Submitted by RD Reynolds on Thu, 26 June 2014, 15:00WWF, 1989 Text by Forest George; You can check out his website here and his Myspace page here! I kind of miss the good old days of my childhood. I really mean it! I mean back when I was a mark and I could really enjoy wrestling, and envy the kids who had the Nintendo gaming system and the Wrestlemania arcade game. In retrospect, Continue Reading...
It Came From YouTube: Hulk Hogan has a special message for the U.S World Cup soccer team
7 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Thu, 26 June 2014, 14:12The one and only reason I’m posting this is because Hulk sounds unusually lethargic and tired here, like he can’t really muster up the energy to do the typical Hulk Hogan promo. Maybe even he’s bored with the standard Hulk Hogan promo! Or maybe he’s just not much of a soccer fan? Hmm… “CUT!” “I need a nap, brother!”....

Someone Bought This: Hulk Hogan Vs. The Incredible Hulk in an epic battle of The Hulks!
8 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Thu, 26 June 2014, 02:00Crapper Paul S. writes: Up until 2005 Marvel Comics owned the name “Hulk Hogan” and whatever wrestling promotion the Hulkster was working for would have to pay a licensing fee to Marvel. In 1988 Marvel had a little fun at Hogan’s expense. In a short story in Marvel Comics Presents #45 Hogan declared himself to be the “The One, The Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: WWE’s WCW logo baseball cap
14 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Tue, 24 June 2014, 15:28Celebrate (?) the short-lived WWE version of WCW (and of course The Invasion!) with this WCW logo baseball cap I found on eBay. Well, WWE’s WCW logo is slightly less ugly, and way easier to read than the hideous final logo WCW had before the buyout… I’ll say that much for it. But it’s also just as pointy as the previous logo- extra Continue Reading...
It Came From YouTube: Giant Silva vs The Great Khali
13 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Tue, 24 June 2014, 15:00Crapper Paul S. writes: It’s a real life War of the Gargantuas as two colossal wrestlers face off in New Japan Pro Wrestling. In one corner we have the future Great Khali! In the other we have former Oddity and occasional Pride fighter Giant Silva! It’s literally one of the biggest matches ever and 100% Puroresucrap!...
Someone Bought This: WCW Nitro Girls Swimsuit calendar special manages to somehow be awful
8 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Tue, 24 June 2014, 02:00Early in 1999 WCW aired a Pay-Per-View called “The WCW Nitro Girls Swimsuit Calendar Special” (rolls right off the tongue, does’t it?). That seems like a pretty good deal, right? You pay $9.99 or whatever to see the Nitro Girls frolic about in bikinis for 90 minutes. Well, according to RD Reynolds’ induction, the thing is amply terrible. Yes, leave it to WCW Continue Reading...
It Came From YouTube: Macho Man plays baseball with a kid because he cares!

Someone Bought This: TNA Pigeon Army shirt
17 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Mon, 23 June 2014, 14:04Hey, remember that “Let The Pigeons Loose” shirt that I put up on the site which mysteriously disappeared from ShopTNA.com a day or two later? Well, TNA has now replaced it with something even worse- a Pigeon Army shirt. That design looks kind of, sort of vaguely familiar, doesn’t it? Hmm… Maybe it’s just me. Anyway, the only person who I Continue Reading...

Douglas sent in a Trent Knight trading card from this series before. Hey, Cougar Jay’s favorite movie is Robocop! He must’ve been thrilled when this went down! He likes theatrical lighting, black cherry ice cream, and Hank Williams Jr.? Got to give him points for having a diverse set of Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: Shawn Michaels zebra stripe hat
18 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Sun, 22 June 2014, 15:00I found this Shawn Michaels hat from around 1995 on eBay complete Shawn’s name in a heart on the front, and (shall we say) distinctive Zebra stripes on top! I ask you Crappers (as I so often do)… Who is going to buy this?! Most men know they’d look stupid, and… less than masculine in it. Most women wouldn’t wear it because Continue Reading...
It Came From YouTube: I.R.S teaches Tatanka (BUFFALO!) a valuable lesson when receiving a gift
14 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Sun, 22 June 2014, 02:00The lesson being… Always pay your gift tax when you get a gift like a ceremonial Native American headdress. See? I.R.S was just looking out for Tatanka’s (BUFFALO!) best interests....

20 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Sat, 21 June 2014, 15:00Bobby Heenan retires as a manager and passes Mr. Perfect on to “Coach” John Tolos. Coach was AWFUL with his stupid annoying whistle, and he was thankfully gone about 2 months later. The only other thing he did was manage The Beverly Brothers....

Someone Bought This: A ripoff rips off something and rips off something else in the process!
5 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Sat, 21 June 2014, 00:12I found this Power Man thing (is it a towel? A flag? A banner?) on the awesome Knockoffs And Bootlegs Tumblr. Oh sure, some might say it’s just a lousy Spider-Man knockoff, but we know better, Crappers! With that banana yellow costume, it’s obviously really a knockoff of WCW’s crime-fighting, web-slinging do-gooder superhero Arachnaman! You may know him better as mild-mannered Continue Reading...
It Came From YouTube: 2 weird WCW World War 3 commercials
5 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 20 June 2014, 15:00Crapper Paul S. writes: Just a flat-out bizarre ad for WCW’s World War III PPV. Any idea who this guy is? And has the stress of trying to follow a three ring 60 man battle royal shattered his sanity? Wow! So if you watch WCW, it will turn you into that guy? Brilliant marketing strategy! The second commercial is just Continue Reading...
Columbus, OH – WWE dedicated this week’s edition of Friday Night Smackdown in Columbus, Ohio to the memory of former WWE Superstar JTG. A number of wrestlers were released last week in an event many have dubbed “Black Thursday”. While some of the releasing were expected, the loss of JTG hit many by surprise. A candlelight memorial was held in JTG’s Continue Reading...

Induction: Kane vs. Edge – Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twenty times, shame on me.
27 Submitted by Art0Donnell on Thu, 19 June 2014, 20:00WWE, 2010 Glen Jacobs has spent most of his wrestling career as a guinea pig for the writers’ most idiotic ideas. First, there was his stint in Smoky Mountain Wrestling with a name based on terrorist Ted “Unabomber” Kaczynski (albeit before he was identified and caught… and while he was still blowing people up). Then, there were his runs in Continue Reading...
