I was reading one of Brian Bayless’ excellent recaps of an old episode of WWF Championship Wrestling on Scott Keith’s blog and one of the matches from this particular episode featured some guy I had never heard of before- “Judo” Joe Black! Since Brian helpfully linked to video of the match, I had to re-post it here. “Judo” Joe is Continue Reading...

It Came From YouTube: Rob Bartlett is the King of Schlock And Roll on an early episode of Monday Night Raw
6 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Wed, 06 November 2013, 09:19Infamous early Raw announcer and funny man Rob Bartlett (he really is funny- just not on this show) decided to dress up like Elvis Presley on the March 1st, 1993 episode of Monday Night Raw. Why? Because it’s wacky, that’s why! He proceeds to eat on camera a lot (because Elvis over-ate and got fat, you see…), and later gets pied by Doink The Continue Reading...
It Came From YouTube: WWF Beauty Pageant Super Bowl ad
3 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Wed, 06 November 2013, 06:21From Super Bowl XXXIV in 2000, here’s a WWF ad featuring… Beauty Pageant contestants. Beauty Pageant contestants who start randomly wrestling each other. Because… um… ATTITUDE! That’s why! YEAH!!! (No, I don’t “get it” either). When asked for comment on this commercial, Stubby said “Those girls having missing teeth is great!” he exclaimed with a wink, but without further explanation....

2 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Wed, 06 November 2013, 03:35Crapper Sean Bateman sent this in and writes: At least Triple H’s acting was better here than in The Chaperone and I didn’t know that Cena uses Johnny Cage’s gear from Mortal Kombat Hey, and John Cena finally turns heel! That ought to shut the whiney smarks up!...
It Came From YouTube: Tank Abbott beats up Mark Madden and terrifies us all in the process
10 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Wed, 06 November 2013, 01:10Q: What’s worse than hearing talentless unfunny hack Mark Madden on commentary when watching WCW Monday Nitro? A: Seeing him half-naked after Tank Abbott inexplicably beats him up and strips off his shirt! Eww… Thanks a lot, WCW! The problem with trying to get Tank over as a heel doing this is that nobody watching WCW particularly cared about Mark Continue Reading...
It Came From YouTube: The Creatures Of The Night have gifts for The Undertaker
11 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Tue, 05 November 2013, 20:56During The Undertaker’s forgettable epic feud with Kama in 1995 over his stolen urn (which Kama had melted down in a chain), two mysterious gothic Undertaker fans would appear at ringside with gifts for The Undertaker including a black wreath. They must have bought the gifts from the Bed, Goth, And Beyond catalog. These gifts apparently gave The Undertaker special Continue Reading...
It Came From YouTube: The most exciting Eric Bishoff footage you’ll ever see
12 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Tue, 05 November 2013, 12:28The specifics of the storyline here escape my fragile memory, but Eric Bischoff was forced to do menial grunt work under kayfabe WCW President Ric Flair, including putting up the WCW Monday Nitro ring. Yes, they actually spent time showing this on Nitro instead of.. you know… showing wrestlers wrestling. Apparently; somebody thought that Flair making Bischoff his plaything, and Continue Reading...
It Came From YouTube: Lord Alfred is ecstatic about WWF video games!

16 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Sun, 03 November 2013, 02:28Papa Shango puts a voodoo curse (!) on The Ultimate Warrior causing him to double over in discomfort as his stomach is suddenly in intense pain!

It Came From YouTube: Jim Ross turns into Angry Jim!
12 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Sun, 03 November 2013, 02:21From the March 1st, 1999 episode of Monday Night Raw, Jim Ross turns into Angry Jim right before our eyes as he turns heel for the second time and sics Dr. Death Steve Williams on poor Bart Gunn. At least this was better than his first heel turn back in 1996 when he brought the fake Razor and Diesel in…...
It Came From YouTube: A Barry Horowitz TitanTron video? You’d better believe it, buddy.
7 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Sun, 03 November 2013, 00:29When veteran jobber and all-around quality wrestler Barry Horowitz got his own t-shirt and push in 1995, he also got his own theme music to go along with it. His theme music was the traditional Jewish song Hava Nagila because… well, Barry is Jewish and I guess they decided to emphasize that with his theme music for some reason. It’s a pretty Continue Reading...
It Came From YouTube: Sensational Sherri attempts to seduce The Ultimate Warrior
13 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Sat, 02 November 2013, 23:19At the 1991 Royal Rumble Sensational Sherri tries to seduce (?!) The Ultimate Warrior into giving her man Randy Savage a title shot. I wish he’d actually reacted positively to her advances. Then we could’ve had a series of Sherri/Warrior date vignettes. How WrestleCraptastic would that have been? Oh well. The Warrior’s reaction to Sherri’s pleading and flirting is pretty Continue Reading...

A few things here… 1. This is one of the only times I can think of where Bobby Heenan really did much of anything to actually help one of his wrestlers he was managing. 2. I didn’t think anyone climbed ropes at Continue Reading...
It Came From YouTube: All hail The King! King Hacksaw Jim Duggan, that is!
6 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Sat, 02 November 2013, 22:19King Duggan is such a happy King! How cool would it be to live in a Kingdom ruled by King Duggan? He just seems like a guy who knows how to have a good time. He’s not like that angry, scowling King Mabel. I bet he’d throw awesome Royal Kegger Parties! Okay, so I admit I’m mostly posting this just Continue Reading...

It Came From YouTube: Mike Tenay serves up some piping hot Voodoo Chili on commentary
10 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 01 November 2013, 22:11I know… “Voodoo Chili?” you’re asking yourself. “What in the name of Stubby is Mike Tenay talking about?!”.

10 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Thu, 31 October 2013, 14:10From the August 23rd, 1999 episode of WCW Monday Nitro, KISS performs lip-syncs (I suppose they’re cartoony an theatrical enough that somebody thought they’d fit in on a wrestling show) and reveals The Kiss Demon!

7 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Thu, 31 October 2013, 12:03Crapper Ezenwa Anyanwu writes: J.R. sits down for an interview with Music Geeks….and for 8 minutes proceeds to make me laugh from top to bottom. Not only is he jabbing the interviewer rather subtly, but the snark and dry wit is off the page. You’d swear that as soon as he was forced into retirement due to his love of Continue Reading...
It Came From YouTube: After-show Raw hi jinx from Steve Austin and Chris Jericho!

It Came From YouTube: Vader is very hard on himself after yet another loss
8 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Mon, 28 October 2013, 12:26Poor Vader. I feel kind of bad for the guy, here. I guess the losing streak was really getting to him and he just kind of lost it on live TV. Still a pretty funny thing for him to say, though… and that’s why it’s WrestleCrap!...
