Terry Funk Wendy’s Commercial
Wrestling legend Terry Funk left us this week. People inside and outside of the business have been recounting all of the Funker’s best matches and promos from his long, storied career.
Even outside of the ring, Funk made an impact. He was an actor, a singer, and even a Wendy’s hamburger hater. Funk was tougher than a two-dollar steak and that mean, no-good, son-of-a-gun preferred that over the fresh, juicy goodness of a Wendy’s burger. Maybe some fries and a Frosty would’ve have changed his tune. Probably not.
Bobby Heenan on Letterman
He only appears for a few seconds, but Bobby Heenan appeared on David Letterman’s live anniversary show. Listen to that pop! Look at that suit! He didn’t even have to say anything and he got a major reaction. Brain was the best.
Ricky Starks Meets Ryback
Long before he joined AEW, Ricky Starks was just a hapless “arena worker” trying to have a little nosh. Ryback was having none of it, smashed food in his ear (!) and unceremoniously slammed Starks through a table.
That was very rude of the Big Guy. Ricky was just trying to enjoy a tuna sandwich. Perhaps Ryback was confused because the can said “Chicken of the Sea” but there was no chicken in it.

Shawn Michaels Visits MuchMusic
Shawn Michaels paid a visit to MuchMusic in 1996. He talks about winning the Royal Rumble, ladies, and Wrestlemania XII. The interesting thing about this appearance, though, is that HBK talks about coming out on the losing end of a real-life fight in Syracuse. Would you believe it was someone else’s fault? Yeah, me neither.
Too bad he didn’t stick around to appear on Loud and Electric Circus.
Art Donovan On The Tonight Show
NFL Hall Of Famer and WWF commentating legend Art Donovan stops by The Tonight Show.
And, yes, he does actually talk about weight.
Corey Taylor vs Baron Corbin: Part 2
On last week’s It Came From Youtube, the Corey Taylor/Baron Corbin feud ignited. This week, the Mega Mallgoths explode.
The war of words continued as Taylor sat ringside during Corbin’s match. After being poked in the chest by Corbin, Taylor decided to give the not-yet-Constable Corbin a Rick James-style open-handed slap. Eventually, Samoa Joe picked up the win and Taylor went on to make music of questionable quality.
For a company that loves celebrity involvement, it’s kind of surprising that this was never on television. It’s not like WWE has never been involved with metal bands. Maybe Vince prefers Mudvayne over Slipknot.
Corey Taylor vs Baron Corbin: Part 1
Before he was Happy Corbin and before he was King Corbin, Baron Corbin was just…Baron Corbin. He didn’t really have a gimmick other than being a tall guy with tattoos. I guess he was kind of like a bully at the mall, hanging outside Hot Topic, hassling people to listen to his band.
Back in 2015, NXT had some matches at the hard rock/metal Aftershock Festival. Seems that ol’ Bully Corbin didn’t take to kindly to Slipknot‘s Corey Taylor headlining over the black and gold brand. The two jawed back and forth, but sadly, Corbin never got to hand Taylor his band’s demo tape.
