I felt that it was long overdue, but better late than never. Anyway, looking at this video REALLY dates the song AND the video. The Rock was well in character with how he was in 2000 and it just really takes me back.
Plus, this song was a total gimmick, especially considering how popular The Rock was back then. Not that the song was bad, however.
I have no idea who the rapper is (not my kind of music) but I can say without hesitation that it sounds really stupid.
Let’s all celebrate America’s independence the Lex Luger way – by laying on an American Flag pillow while wearing an American flag shirt while hugging ANOTHER American flag pillow.
Bruce Prichard might have been pretty awesome at playing the annoying, insincere sleazy preacher Brother Love, but this is still a stupid, one-note character that got on everyone’s nerves in a hurry.
The worst part is that they’d extend his interview segments to like 15 or 20 minutes at a time!

What wrestling fan couldn’t resist a “Dr. Death Steve Williams Oatmeal Pina Colada” cookie? Particularly in one with less appealing packaging than found at your children’s bakesale.
This commercial also mentions a new cookie coming soon called “The Herbie” which I can assume is covered in a white dust that isn’t powdered sugar.
But can they compete with WWF Superstars Oatmeal Cookies?

I was thinking about Missy Hyatt today, for some reason, and wondered why she never went to work for Vince in the WWF.
Well, it turns out – she did. Her Wikipedia page says:
“While still under UWF contract, Hyatt was contacted about working for the World Wrestling Federation. Vince McMahon wanted Hyatt to replace Rowdy Roddy Piper and his segment, Piper’s Pit, with a new segment called “Missy’s Manor.” “Missy’s Manor” segments were taped on March 21 and 22, and April 23, 1987. The show was a disaster, and McMahon asked Hyatt to become a Federette, which were the ring girls shown at pay-per-views. She thought the role was beneath her, and she went back to the UWF.”
Here is one of the, uploaded by Missy herself, with guest Adrian Adonis.
Wow… Watching this is it any wonder these segments never made it to air?

There are times I love old wrestling.
This is not one of those times…
Like people thought this was ok to put on TV… in the 80s. Really…
Wow…

There are three things noteworthy about this video from 1972:
- Andre The Giant is looking svelte.
- Andre does a tombstone piledriver.
- The announcer calls it a tombstone, nearly two decades before The Undertaker used it. When you factor in that it’s a Japanese announcer calling it an English name, you’ve got to figure that it was invented elsewhere and that the name “tombstone piledriver” dates back even earlier than this.
What do you want on your Tombstone? Huh huh huh…

From the Wrestling Gold DVD set featuring Dave Meltzer and Jim Cornette swapping wrestling bear stories!
I love their commentary! I could listen to Dave and Jim all day!
“Frantic Motions” is my new favorite euphemism. That would make for a great band name!
Yes folks, whether you want a wrestling bear or a wrestling Baer, we’ve got it all here at WrestleCrap!
