Obscure, strange, and sometimes downright horrible wrestling merchandise that someone paid good money to obtain.

Someone Bought This: Santa Hollywood Hogan Christmas ornament

4 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 21 December 2018, 02:00

Santa Hollywood Hogan is here and he has presents! Oh yes, it’s a NWO Hulk Hogan Christmas ornament! I’d like to think he’s like The Grinch and he’s just in the middle of taking Christmas gifts away from kids and families. Because that’s how Hollywood Hogan rolls, brother!...

Someone Bought This: Sin Cara and Scooby-Doo figures

5 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 14 December 2018, 02:00

A few years ago there was a WWE/Scooby Doo “WrestleMania Mystery” crossover cartoon movie. Here’s some figures of Sin Cara and Scooby-Doo, together at last. Can’t you just picture Sin Cara out at 6 AM taking Scooby out for walkies? The real mystery is why anyone would want this particular combination of figures. Oh-Ho-Ho-Ho!...

Someone Bought This: Funky Texas Tornado logo shirt

2 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 07 December 2018, 02:00

This circa late 80’s/early 90’s WWF Texas Tornado Kerry Von Erich logo shirt has some of the weirdest color choices I’ve ever seen on a wrestling shirt: Blue, orange, red, and black/white?! I can’t decide if I hate it because of the contrasting colors or love it because it’s so cheesy. A giant red tornado coming at you would be Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: The Road Warriors love their Zubaz!

3 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 30 November 2018, 02:00

The Road Warriors (AKA: The Legion of Doom to you WWF fans) love their Zubaz pants! Why? Because they’re flashy, and comfortable, and Zebra stripes never, ever go out of style! What’s not to love? And now, enjoy a gallery of Hawk and Animal in Zubaz: UHHHHHHWhatAZubazRush.com! I bet that URL’s not taken…...

SOMEONE BOUGHT THIS: Fly Fishing Mike Rotundo Autographed Photo

2 Submitted by RD Reynolds on Sun, 25 November 2018, 19:24

As discussed on WrestleCrap Radio…I never thought he’d top that Captain Mike shirt where he had a giant head popping out of a boat, but he sure tried! This was apparently out of the 1988 DANGER ZONE calendar, and if anyone is looking to get me a Christmas present, this would look great hanging up in my living room....

Someone Bought This: Chyna’s second dumbest shirt

1 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 23 November 2018, 02:00

“Chyna Syndrome”? (Insert obvious STD joke here). Well, this isn’t quite as embarrassingly stupid as her Va-Chyna shirt, but it still doesn’t make any sense. It’s a reference to the movie The China Syndrome about a reporter who uncovers shady goings-on at a Nuclear Power Plant. So is this shirt saying that Chyna is a Nuclear-Powered Diva like Nuclear Man Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: A Smoking Gunns poster as big as the Grand Canyon!

3 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 16 November 2018, 02:00

YEE-HAW! This gigantic 24 x 36 poster of The Smoking Gunns poster is not only awesome, but rare! It was only available in the WWF Catalog and at live events so you know it’s a true collectable. It’s a great way to show what a big fan you are of the world’s greatest cowboy tag team of the 90’s (okay, so I Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: Shane McMahon WCW Jersey and the Invasion WCW logo shirt

3 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 09 November 2018, 02:00

When WWE bought WCW and did The Invasion angle, it um… didn’t go very well. In fact, it won the 2001 Gooker Award right here on WrestleCrap! The Invasion was lead by Shane McMahon and a handful of ex-WCW wrestlers who were mostly mid-carders. The wrestlers all wore this shirt with a new WCW logo: Well, it’s better than the Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: A degenerate doggy!

3 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 02 November 2018, 02:00

In 1999 The New Age Outlaws were really popular. So was D-Generation X. So, WWE decided to release this Road Dogg plush bulldog. It’s neon green, and it’s got ATTITUDE! You can tell because it’s wearing sunglasses like Poochie! Because nothing says “degenerate bad ass” like selling a stuffed plush dog toy of yourself to kids. It kind of looks Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: It seemed like a cool shirt at the time…

4 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 26 October 2018, 02:00

Someone bought this D-Generation X… And that “someone” was uh… me. But I can explain! Picture it… Sicily, 1924… Oh wait sorry, wrong story! Picture it… It was 1998. I was 17 years old. The Attitude Era was in full swing. D-Generation X was all over TV and had been doing some very funny skits. Oh yeah, and they had really Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: Watch Out! This Scott Steiner toy has something to say!

1 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 19 October 2018, 02:00

It’s a Tuff Talkin’ Scott Steiner figure! He talks both to himself, and other Tuff Talking figures! This would be a lot funnier if he said some of the bat crap crazy things he really said in WCW and TNA over the years. I wonder if we could hack him to say “Math is hard!” like those talking Barbie dolls Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: Tammy gets generous with her autograph

5 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 12 October 2018, 02:00

I found this chair on eBay autographed by Tammy/Sunny, and WOW! I mean, look at this! She didn’t just sign the chair, she practically wrote her resume on it! Did she have a few hours to kill and an entire pack of fresh Sharpie markers when they asked her to sign this?! I’m surprised she didn’t include her measurements, Social Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: Stone Cold Steve Austin’s jacket is a real manly color!

6 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 05 October 2018, 02:00

Stone Cold Steve Austin is a real man’s man! He’s the toughest of the tough! He’s a true bad ass! And nothing says “Manly Man Tough Guy Bad Ass” like a satin jacket with powder blue sleeves and piping! Oh well, at least it has the Evil Red-Eyed Skull logo on it- that helps balance things out a bit, doesn’t it? Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: A very “early-90’s” style Sting hat

3 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 28 September 2018, 02:00

This is very um… vibrant WCW Sting baseball cap from 1990. “Fatal Encounter” sounds like the name of a bad Hair Metal band from 1985. Or you know, a WWE Pay-Per-View. I honestly don’t think they could have legally released a hat this ugly and garish in any year other than 1990!...

Someone Bought This: Let your kids climb on John Cena’s comfy lap and.. wait, what?!

3 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 21 September 2018, 02:00

Today we have a John Cena inflatable chair. The chair is designed so that your kid sits on John’s “lap”. That’s… kind of creepy. Combine that with how John’s face is kind of in the shadows looking all evil and this chair is really starting to freak me out…...

Someone Bought This: The most forgettable tag team of the 90’s got a trading card?!

3 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 14 September 2018, 02:00

I was browsing through the awesome Wrestling Trading Cards database site and I came across this gem. From a 1995 WWF Magazine comes this Tekno Team 2000 trading card. I love that they got their own trading card despite only being in the WWF for like 4 months and doing absolutely nothing of note in that time. Tekno Team 2000 were Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: A shirt fit for any beefcake in San Fransisco

4 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 07 September 2018, 02:00

It’s a shirt featuring Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake carrying a gigantic pair of novelty scissors while wearing his Chippendales Dancer bowtie and pink zebra striped tights. If you wear this shirt it will defiantly get people talking about you, but probably not for the reasons you want… “I getsk my hair cut by Brutus all the time! He has such a gentle, Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: A Big, Nasty, Wart-Infested wall decoration

3 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 31 August 2018, 02:00

The Giant wins The Pennant! The Giant wins The Pennant! The Giant wins The Pennant!...

Someone Bought This: G1 Special in WrestleCrap Part 2

4 Submitted by RD Reynolds on Fri, 24 August 2018, 12:00

A Wrestlecrap Guide to G-1 Climax Shirts by Paul Sebert Welcome to part two of Wrestlecrap’s look at New Japan’s G1 Shirts. Yes the annual tournament isn’t just a grueling competition, it’s also a cash cow in which the company churns out a mountain of merch. It’s a magical time when even the lowliest underdog can get his own gear. Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: The King Of The Ring chair is full of (your) hot air!

0 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 24 August 2018, 02:00

In 1997 you could get this adult-sized inflatable King Of The Ring chair. And how much was it? $70.99?! For a novelty wrestling Pay-Per-View chair?! Take off the King Of The Ring and WWF logos and this looks like the kind of trendy piece of crap they’d sell at Spencer’s Gifts for 15 year old girls....

Someone Bought This: Ahmed Johnson has a really tiny…

1 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 17 August 2018, 02:00

…head. Apparently Ahmed just had an unpleasant run-in with the Voodoo Priestess from Beetlejuice! That’s still a more pleasant experience than working for WCW was....

Someone Bought This: The Summer Sizzler tour shirt is just awesome

1 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 10 August 2018, 02:00

It’s the WWF Summer Sizzler tour shirt from the mid-90’s! And look close… It’s the WWF New Generation logo wearing sunglasses! How cool, and edgy, and adorable (?)....

Someone Bought This: A WWF New Generation Cap- but not for your head

5 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 03 August 2018, 02:00

We’ve covered WWF and WCW Pogs in the post, and now we have a 1995 WWF “New Generation” cap (which I guess is the same thing as a Pog?).. This is made by Panini. You may remember Panini as being the company who made all those Sticker Books. I’ve never played Pogs so I don’t know how to use this thing Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: G1 Special In WrestleCrap

6 Submitted by RD Reynolds on Wed, 01 August 2018, 20:00

A Wrestlecrap Guide to G-1 Climax Shirts Hi my name is Paul Sebert, and I’ve been a wrestling fan since childhood even writing a (a frankly terrible) wrestling column for college paper during the Monday Night War years. In more recent years I’ve been something of a contributor to this website, submitting many candidates to Paul Kraft’s “It Came From Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: Pitch ’till you win and get some Hulk Hogan and Steve Austin carnival glass!

4 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 27 July 2018, 02:00

I’ve written about a fantastic piece of Hulk Hogan carnival glass that Matt over at Dinosaur Dracula found in the past, and now I’ve found more! These are the kind of tacky, but somehow really interesting (in cheap knockoff sort of way) prizes you could win at carnivals and State Fairs after you somehow manage to win at one of the rigged games. Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: The Chris Jericho “Wanna-Bee” t-shirt is bee-yond lame!

10 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 20 July 2018, 02:00

Today we have the Chris Jericho “Wanna-Bee” shirt. It has a dead bee on it (because Chris apparently hates “Jumpin” Jim Brunzell and B. Brian Blair for some reason). So he added an extra “e” to “Wannabe” and put a picture of a dead be on the shirt, because… Uh… Take it away, Spice Girls! If you wannabe fashionable, just stay Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: Sunny’s autobiography- you really can judge a book by its cover!

5 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 13 July 2018, 02:00

A few years ago Tammy “Sunny” Sytch released an autobiography. Hey, is that bird crap on the cover? Oh, it’s supposed to be a shattered windshield. Well, her life has kind of been like a car crash I guess… Hey look, there’s a typo on the back cover blurb! “The original WEE Diva”? Is it too much to ask that a Continue Reading...
