A Christmas Story 2: Subtitled: “Ralphie’s Quest to Get Him Some”
26 Submitted by RD Reynolds on Sat, 07 December 2013, 02:21Direct to Cash Grab Release, 2012 Text by RD Reynolds Like many of you, my holiday season isn’t complete without at least one viewing of A Christmas Story. I mean, with the goofy 24 hour showings, how can you NOT watch it? It’s almost like TBS is seeing if you can watch it in various chunks, kinda like a puzzle, then Continue Reading...
Induction: Master P and the No Limit Soldiers – Rap is Wrestlecrap
48 Submitted by Art0Donnell on Thu, 05 December 2013, 20:00WCW, 1999 In the summer of 1999, facing lagging ratings, WCW attempted to stay relevant by reaching out to the music industry. Before bringing in KISS and Megadeth to perform live on Nitro, Bischoff and company tried their hand at cross-promotion with hip-hop. Of course, “cross-promotion” was more or less a code word for “we’ll pay you money to hog Continue Reading...
Induction: Saturday Morning Slam Thanksgiving Pie Eating Contest – Sugar Rush! Sugar Rush! Sugar Crash…
19 Submitted by RD Reynolds on Mon, 25 November 2013, 19:30WWE, 2012 Ok, took me a few weeks to make a hard decision: I’ve decided that going back and reviewing all the Saturday Morning Slams that I missed back before we relaunched the site is a fool’s errand. It ain’t gonna happen. The reasons are myriad, but honestly, it’s primarily due to the fact that every report I did was Continue Reading...
Induction: The HLA Match – As believable as Mrs. Doubtfire, and almost as sexy!
26 Submitted by Art0Donnell on Thu, 21 November 2013, 21:00WWE, 2002 September of 2002 was without a doubt the gayest month in WWE history. It seemed that every show that aired that month was designed to make viewers say out loud, “This is so gay!” Gay, that is, meaning literally homosexual. If we here at Wrestlecrap wanted to express that something was being embarrassingly stupid, we wouldn’t stoop so Continue Reading...
Induction Special: The Commitment Ceremony Revisited- I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Billy
29 Submitted by Art0Donnell on Thu, 14 November 2013, 21:00WWE, 2002 As part of a three-part induction special, I have decided to revisit the Billy & Chuck wedding, which bridges the gap between last week’s HLA induction and next week’s induction of the HLA match. The original induction of Billy & Chuck’s commitment ceremony is available rightchere for Crappers with access to the Archives. Have you heard of the Continue Reading...
Induction: HLA – 2 Girls, 1 Cup… of Crap! Uh, Wrestlecrap.
64 Submitted by Art0Donnell on Thu, 07 November 2013, 20:00WWE, 2002 WWE is no stranger to publicity stunts. Whether it be the “sale” of Raw to Donald Trump, the “Battle of the Billionaires,” or basically any angle involving Donald Trump, Vince McMahon has been known to make desperate grabs for mainstream media attention, typically at the expense of regular viewers who watch his programming in spite of (and not Continue Reading...
Induction: The Haunting of Roddy Piper: Adrian’s Revenge
25 Submitted by Art0Donnell on Thu, 31 October 2013, 20:00Biography channel, 2013 A lot of wrestlers have “personal demons,” and Roddy Piper is no exception. In the rowdy Scot’s case, though, they’re not the kind of demons you can get arrested for if the cops pull you over and find them in your car. No, these are bona fide ghosts, and if you don’t believe me, just ask professional Continue Reading...
Induction: 2011 Halloween Divas Battle Royal – AJ Gives Nerds The World Over a Geekality!
37 Submitted by RD Reynolds on Thu, 31 October 2013, 09:302011 I am pretty sure if I decided to make it a Halloween tradition to induct every stupid Divas costume gimmick match, I’d have material until the end of time. I mean, really, they have these things every year, right? But 2011 was different. Muppet-tastically different. Ah yes, the glory days of the infamous guest host era of Raw. What Continue Reading...
Induction: The Executioner: The Effluence of Execution
22 Submitted by Art0Donnell on Thu, 24 October 2013, 20:00WWF, 1996 Executioners are a dime a dozen in wrestling. Since time immemorial, promoters running low on talent, ideas, or both have slapped black masks on wrestlers and trotted them out to the ring for a quick loss to their babyface stars. On the very first Monday Night Raw, for instance, perennial jobbers Duane Gill and Barry Hardy donned the Continue Reading...
