Crapper Paul S. writes: Up until 2005 Marvel Comics owned the name “Hulk Hogan” and whatever wrestling promotion the Hulkster was working for would have to pay a licensing fee to Marvel. In 1988 Marvel had a little fun at Hogan’s expense. In a short story in Marvel Comics Presents #45 Hogan declared himself to be the “The One, The Continue Reading...

Obscure, strange, and sometimes downright horrible wrestling merchandise that someone paid good money to obtain.
Someone Bought This: Do these WWF sheets and comforter look familiar?
17 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Wed, 25 June 2014, 02:00Okay Crappers! Leave a comment down below if you had this bedding when you were a kid! I know I wasn’t the only one! It was released in 1991 and consisted of a set of sheets with matching pillowcases (pictured below), and you could get a comforter (pictured above). I don’t remember if the sheets and comforter were sold together Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: WWE’s WCW logo baseball cap
12 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Tue, 24 June 2014, 15:28Celebrate (?) the short-lived WWE version of WCW (and of course The Invasion!) with this WCW logo baseball cap I found on eBay. Well, WWE’s WCW logo is slightly less ugly, and way easier to read than the hideous final logo WCW had before the buyout… I’ll say that much for it. But it’s also just as pointy as the previous logo- extra Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: WCW Nitro Girls Swimsuit calendar special manages to somehow be awful
6 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Tue, 24 June 2014, 02:00Early in 1999 WCW aired a Pay-Per-View called “The WCW Nitro Girls Swimsuit Calendar Special” (rolls right off the tongue, does’t it?). That seems like a pretty good deal, right? You pay $9.99 or whatever to see the Nitro Girls frolic about in bikinis for 90 minutes. Well, according to RD Reynolds’ induction, the thing is amply terrible. Yes, leave it to WCW Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: TNA Pigeon Army shirt
13 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Mon, 23 June 2014, 14:04Hey, remember that “Let The Pigeons Loose” shirt that I put up on the site which mysteriously disappeared from ShopTNA.com a day or two later? Well, TNA has now replaced it with something even worse- a Pigeon Army shirt. That design looks kind of, sort of vaguely familiar, doesn’t it? Hmm… Maybe it’s just me. Anyway, the only person who I Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: Learn everything you wanted to know about Cougar Jay on this trading card!
13 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Mon, 23 June 2014, 02:00Crapper Douglas Corti writes: Here’s Cougar Jay, 1988′s biggest Charlene Tilton-manic. Douglas sent in a Trent Knight trading card from this series before. Hey, Cougar Jay’s favorite movie is Robocop! He must’ve been thrilled when this went down! He likes theatrical lighting, black cherry ice cream, and Hank Williams Jr.? Got to give him points for having a diverse set of Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: Shawn Michaels zebra stripe hat
15 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Sun, 22 June 2014, 15:00I found this Shawn Michaels hat from around 1995 on eBay complete Shawn’s name in a heart on the front, and (shall we say) distinctive Zebra stripes on top! I ask you Crappers (as I so often do)… Who is going to buy this?! Most men know they’d look stupid, and… less than masculine in it. Most women wouldn’t wear it because Continue Reading...
It Came From YouTube: Micro League Wrestling game with digital Gorilla Monsoon
12 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Sat, 21 June 2014, 15:00Every game needs a digital Gorilla Monsoon in it. Not just every wrestling game, I mean every video game period....
Someone Bought This: A ripoff rips off something and rips off something else in the process!
5 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Sat, 21 June 2014, 00:12I found this Power Man thing (is it a towel? A flag? A banner?) on the awesome Knockoffs And Bootlegs Tumblr. Oh sure, some might say it’s just a lousy Spider-Man knockoff, but we know better, Crappers! With that banana yellow costume, it’s obviously really a knockoff of WCW’s crime-fighting, web-slinging do-gooder superhero Arachnaman! You may know him better as mild-mannered Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: Ric Flair autographed South Carolina lottery t-shirt and voided lottery tickets
8 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 20 June 2014, 02:00If you poke around Ric Flair’s official website, you’ll see he has an online store where you can buy all kinds of Ric Flair stuff like a $30,000 customized robe (!), and also this t-shirt promoting Ric Flair South Carolina lottery tickets! And look, you can get it autographed for an additional $30! But wait! There’s more! You can also buy Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: The Stro (AKA: The Maestro) pet bowl
4 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Thu, 19 June 2014, 15:00I was browsing around The Stro’s (AKA: WCW’s The Maestro) “Stro Stuff” CafePress Store, and I found this Stro pet bowl! So, for those of you who have a big pet, and are big Stro fans, I guess this is just the thing for you! It will no doubt help your dog “conduct” himself better while eating. Get it? Conduct… Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: Steve Austin Aqua Blaster squirt gun shield
3 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Thu, 19 June 2014, 02:00Just in time for Summer fun, it’s the Steve Austin Aqua Blaster toy! It’s a shield and squirt gun all in one. Hey, my friends and I would have had a blast with this thing when we were kids! It’s still not as cool as a Super Soaker, though....
Someone Bought This: Curt Hawkins’ personal WWE travel bag is selling for how much?
5 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Wed, 18 June 2014, 20:16Among the things that now-former WWE Superstar Curt Hawkins is selling ebay right now is this WWF logo travel bag. And how much is he asking for it? $1,500! Look, I’m sure it’s a nice bag, and a neat collectable because you can’t buy a WWE one in stores. He’ll even sign it for you if you want. I get Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: TNA Let The Pigeons Loose shirt
7 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Wed, 18 June 2014, 15:00Really, TNA? Really?… Only three types of people would ever buy this shirt: 1). Horny, immature men. 2). Stupid, slutty women. 3). This man (or; see #1): (UPDATE! They’ve since replaced this shirt with something even worse!)...
Someone Bought This: Chyna’s book bloated full of bitterness and bitching
20 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Tue, 17 June 2014, 02:00I know R.D already featured Chyna’s autobiography “If They Only Knew” as an induction years ago on the old site (the induction is well worth reading!) but I just had to bring it up again. Think about this for a minute… Somebody decided to let Chyna write a book. May I ask why? It’s selling new for under $3, and used for Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: Hulk Hogan carnival glass mirror
8 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Mon, 16 June 2014, 02:00My buddy Matt over at Dinosaur Dracula (and formerly of X-Entertainment) posted this list of the Top 10 Carnival Mirror Glass he found on eBay and one of them is this fine Hulk Hogan one. It’s the kind of cheap prize you could win at the local County Fair or the State Fair for managing to win one of the rigged Continue Reading...
Someone Bought This: WWE logo towel poncho for kids.
6 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Sun, 15 June 2014, 15:00I came across this WWE logo towel poncho for kids. If you buy this and make your child wear it, then I can only assume that you hate your child and want other children to make fun of them relentlessly....

13 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 13 June 2014, 02:00 This is the epic, timeless, and long-overdue “Tribute To Virgil” issue of WWF Magazine from August of 1993. It was a magical time when Virgilmania was sweeping the world over like some kind of gigantic broom! People just could not get enough of Wrestling Superstar(™) Virgil.

Someone Bought This Classic: WWE Talking Soap
14 Submitted by RD Reynolds on Thu, 12 June 2014, 15:00WWE Talking Soap When RD told me he picked me up something totally ludicrous from WWE Niagra Falls during his recent trip, I was a happy camper. I just love crappy WWE merchandise. What could it be? A part of me wished it was one of those new dumbass HBK teddy bears/lions that are in the new WWE catalog. If Continue Reading...

3 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Thu, 12 June 2014, 02:00OH YEAH! DIG IT! Dig what?! Dig these old school WWF Macho Man Randy Savage sunglasses! Don’t those garish colors just scream “early 90′s!”?! How many of you Crappers had these bad boys? Represent! I bought mine at a WWF house show in ’92 or ’93 and loved ‘em! You can get a similar pair really cheap right here on Amazon!...
Someone Bought This: Be the coolest kid at the skate park with the WWF Hulk Hogan skateboard
8 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Wed, 11 June 2014, 15:00Guess how much the seller on iOffer wants for this Hulk Hogan skateboard… (Because when I think “Hulk Hogan” I immediately think of hot pink and other bright, vibrant colors…). $600! Buy it only if you’re a big Hulk Hogan fan who also loves skating! Or if you’re Shane Douglas circa 1989....

Someone Bought This: Bret Hart is now a Simpsons figure!
7 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Tue, 10 June 2014, 15:00A Bret Hart Simpsons figure is out now based on Bret’s appearance in this Simpsons episode. It looks pretty accurate to me! He’s part of a line of celebrity figures being released in celebration of The Simpsons’ 25th (!) Anniversary. WHOO-HOO! More information is available here. There’s no Amazon listing for it yet but if you find one, shoot me an email and Continue Reading...
It Came From YouTube: The Leprechaun: Origins trailer staring Hornswoggle is here! Lucky us!
20 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Mon, 09 June 2014, 14:05I can’t embed the video, but here’s the trailer for Leprechaun: Origins staring Hornswoggle. I love the original Leprechaun series which is (almost) always highly entertaining thanks to the very talented Warwick Davis. This movie just looks terrible. Not scary, not funny, not worth seeing. When the acting in the trailer (you know, the lines they picked to best represent the Continue Reading...
