WWE, 2005-7 Nelson Frazier has worn many hats during his years with World Wrestling Entertainment.

Induction: Double Dare’s Super-Slop-O-Mania – Still more mature than Punk’d
16 Submitted by Art0Donnell on Thu, 06 February 2014, 21:00Nickelodeon/WWF, 1989 With two former wrestlers like Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan handling announcing duties for years in the WWF, constantly at odds, don’t you find it odd that they never squared off in the ring to settle their differences? Why, Michael Cole was barely a year into his insufferable jerk persona before he and Jerry Lawler had a series Continue Reading...
Induction: Heel Dixie Carter – 2013 Gooker Winner (Winner Turkey Dinner)!
121 Submitted by RD Reynolds on Thu, 30 January 2014, 22:11Impact Wrestling – 2013 I remember years ago when TNA was in its infancy, folks would email asking if I thought there would come a day when they might ever nab the ‘coveted’ Gooker award. I found it unlikely at the time, but not for the reason you may think. I mean, it wasn’t that the company never put forth Continue Reading...
Induction: WWE Wrestlers on Punk’d – So named because “Jackass” was already taken
27 Submitted by Art0Donnell on Thu, 23 January 2014, 21:00MTV, 2003-2007 MTV has been connected with wrestling for years, ever since the Rock ‘n’ Wrestling Connection of the mid-80s.

Induction: Mad Bull – Proof Heath Slater’s been jobbing since before he was born
22 Submitted by Art0Donnell on Thu, 16 January 2014, 21:00TV movie, 1977 The late Alex Karras was no stranger to the Wrestlecrap. It was he, after all, whose “Mongo” character in Blazing Saddles was the namesake of Horseman Steve “Mongo” McMichael. Less famous was the 1977 TV movie, “Mad Bull,” where Karras played the title role of Iago “Mad Bull” Karkus. Since this was the seventies, not everyone was Continue Reading...

I mean, yeah, you may have missed it (it wasn’t like the company beat you over the head with its impending arrival for months on end), but I sure didn’t. With such a monumental event upon me, I decided to go Continue Reading...

Induction: The 1999 Royal Rumble – Even Stone Cold used this match as a bathroom break
51 Submitted by Art0Donnell on Thu, 09 January 2014, 21:00WWF, 1999 Vince McMahon won 1999′s Royal Rumble. … … No, this isn’t the shortest induction ever; I’m just getting that obvious bit of information out of the way right now, lest you think that’s the only reason why this match is Wrestlecrap. No, there are certain circumstances under which a non-wrestler can win a big match, and the red-hot Continue Reading...
Induction: The WWE New Year’s Eve Toast: AJ and Dolph are Poopy
27 Submitted by Art0Donnell on Thu, 02 January 2014, 21:00WWE, 2012 It was New Year’s Eve, and WWE’s power couple, Dolph Ziggler and AJ Lee, had promised an in-ring celebration to ring in 2013. Of course, there was no way that this segment would go off without a hitch, especially with the two hosts wearing this: This should have set off alarms for everyone watching. After all, when was Continue Reading...
Induction: Del Río Runs Over Santa Claus – GTA: North Pole
26 Submitted by Art0Donnell on Thu, 26 December 2013, 21:00WWE, 2012 The holidays are a time when WWE encourages its viewers to spend quality time with their families, preferably by turning off the TV altogether. Either that, or they figure that people aren’t concerned with TV wrestling around Christmastime, so why put on a half-way decent program when nobody is watching? Of course, back in, say, 2000, the “nobody” Continue Reading...
