INDUCTION: Abdullah vs. Zeus – The Human Wrecking Machine Gets Butchered!

1 Submitted by RD Reynolds on Thu, 23 June 2022, 20:00

WWC, 1990 I am man enough to admit when I’ve made a mistake. On old man social media a few weeks ago, I asked for some horrible matches to induct. While I can quickly point out the most craptastic characters and storylines in wrestling, I sometimes draw a blank when someone prompts me for a stupid match. I can’t explain Continue Reading...

Headlies: Absolutely Nothing Happened This Week

1 Submitted by Jordan Mishkin on Mon, 20 June 2022, 08:00

New York, NY – For the first time in recent memory, nothing of interest happened in the world of professional wrestling. Despite multiple live shows in various promotions, it was just a boring week. Amazingly, the past seven days were totally unremarkable. No Superstars were unceremoniously released. There were no rumors of unhappy wrestlers threatening to jump to another company. Continue Reading...

Induction: The first Casino Battle Royale – All Elite WrestleCrap

21 Submitted by Art0Donnell on Thu, 16 June 2022, 20:00

AEW, 2019 Two weeks ago, RD emailed me with a special assignment: WrestleCrap’s first-ever induction from AEW. Apparently, a lot of people out there think we’re somehow biased in favor of All Elite Wrestling. While that’s plainly false, it was up to me to put such rumors to rest. But what from AEW was bad enough to warrant an induction Continue Reading...

INDUCTION: The Helmet Match – Stampede Wrestling Is FINALLY Inducted!

14 Submitted by RD Reynolds on Thu, 09 June 2022, 20:00

Stampede Wrestling, 1981 For over a year, I’ve heard the same complaints about us never inducting something from that “other” promotion. Some have claimed we never will due to some errant notion that we don’t ever see anything wrong there, or that we are on someone’s payroll behind the scenes. I think today’s induction will show that we’re listening Continue Reading...

Induction: “Wrestling (It’s a Laugh)” – WrestleCrap, 1930s style

19 Submitted by Art0Donnell on Thu, 02 June 2022, 22:20

Theatrical short, 1937 If there’s one thing I love to do on this site, it’s dig up old, old wrestling. A Superman wrestling episode from 1952? A women’s wrestling movie from 1951? Nah, I said old wrestling. Wrestling from back when Mae Young was a rookie. Wrestling from back when World War I wasn’t called that yet. It’s good fortune that Continue Reading...

INDUCTION: Tony Atlas vs. Ted Arcidi – Who’s Up for a Ten Minute Test of Strength?

16 Submitted by RD Reynolds on Thu, 26 May 2022, 20:00

WWF, 1986 The term “hoss fight” gets thrown around a lot these days it seems, but in reality, such a thing is nothing new in pro wrestling. In fact, it’s what the business was largely built upon – two giant meaty men clobbering each other with reckless abandon. And truth be told, we are pretty fortunate with what we get Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: Dok Hendrix 8×10 publicity photo

0 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 24 June 2022, 02:00

It’s a circa 1995 Dok Hendrix promotional 8×10 photo! I love the idea of some 10 year old asking Michael Hayes to sign this in 1995 simply because the lines for The Undertaker and Bret Hart were too long at the autograph signing before the house show....

Headlies: Cody Rhodes Learns US Healthcare System Is The Real “American Nightmare”

1 Submitted by Jordan Mishkin on Mon, 13 June 2022, 08:00

Cheval, FL – WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes has learned the hard way that the true “American Nightmare” is the United States healthcare system. Rhodes, who competed in a five-star main event against Seth Rollins while injured, underwent surgery this past weekend on a torn pectoral muscle. The surgery was a complete success and Rhodes is at home resting comfortably. Despite Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: You have the right to wear this stupid shirt!

It’s a Right To Censor shirt! Until I found this I had no idea one ever existed. This is one of those shirts where I can’t believe more than maybe 7 people actually bought it! Notice it says “Anvil” on the tag in the back? Jin Neidhart- Honorary RTC Member!...

Headlies: PPV Delayed After Keys Are Locked Inside Hell In A Cell

Rosemont, IL – Last night’s WWE “special event” was delayed for over two hoursl after the keys to the Hell In A Cell were accidentally locked inside the cell. After setting up the ring and lowering the steel structure, two referees locked the cell door. All appeared to be well, until they stopped halfway up the ramp. Dread swept over Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: This Jim Ross figure has issues…

It’s the rare “Caffeine Overload Jim Ross” figure! Look at those eyes! Also look at his glasses that he stole from Ralphie from A Christmas Story! Perhaps Jim is just impersonating Jim Cornette in that one picture? You know the one… Yeah, that one. According to his jacket, his favorite show is not “Raw Is War”, but “War Tony” whatever Continue Reading...

Las Vegas, NV – After their match at Double Or Nothing, AEW star Hook gambled away his teammate Danhausen in a game of blackjack. The Diametrically Opposite Duo hit the blackjack table to celebrate their first pay-per-view match together. Or, more accurately, Hook went to play blackjack and Danhausen appeared from beneath the table. “Hit me. Hit me. Please hit Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: What time is it? Time to get a new watch!

1 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Fri, 27 May 2022, 02:00

It’s a really cheap Hulk Hogan watch! This is the kind of little trinket you’d get for 25 tickets at Chuck E. Cheese, or something you’d find at the bottom of Froot Loops! I bet the batter wasn’t replaceable either, so once the battery dies, it’s worthless! I bet WWE charged $25 for this piece of junk! (And yes, I Continue Reading...

Boston, MA – AEW President Tony Khan attempted to win over WWE Superstar Sasha Banks after she walked out of this week’s Monday Night Raw. Wearing his best button-down shirt, pressed khaki shorts, and tie, Khan went over his plan. “Okay, Big T. You can do this,” Khan told himself. “You’re great. You’re wonderful. Everybody likes you.

Someone Bought This: Akeem The African Dream Hasbro figure

It’s a WWF Hasbro action figure of Akeem The African Dream. AKA One Man Gang in an incredibly stupid, racist gimmick. Like, what kid at the time could have possibly been a fan of the Akeem character and wanted this figure?...

Induction: WWE’s Colonel Sanders – Original or Extra Crappy?

8 Submitted by Art0Donnell on Thu, 19 May 2022, 22:01

2016-2018, WWE In 2015, KFC re-cast the role of Colonel Sanders after the death of their original founder (in 1980). The company’s commercials featured a string of guest Colonels, from country music’s Reba McEntire… ….to Seinfeld’s Jay Greenspan. While this author felt that simply giving some random person the title of Colonel was a slap in the face to Harland Continue Reading...

Headlies: Darby Allin’s Spine Asks For Release From Darby Allin

Seattle, WA – AEW star Darby Allin’s spine made a surprise request to be released from Darby Allin. Following his match with Jeff Hardy on Dynamite which saw him land back-first onto a row of chairs, Allin’s spine is calling it quits. Citing years of physical misuse and neglect, the complex system of bones, muscles, and nerves has reportedly had Continue Reading...

Salem, MA – AEW Superstar Chris Jericho was found guilty of practicing witchcraft during a trial this past weekend. Judge John Hathorne V, a direct descendent of one of the justices from the Salem witch trials, presided over the case. “Mr. Jericho, you have been accused of practicing witchcraft,” announced Hathorne with a bang of his gavel. “Your dabbling in Continue Reading...

It’s a toy version of the WWF blimp that used to fly around Pay-Per-Views in 1995! I believe it had a Stri-Dex Medicated Pads logo on the other side if you’re curious. You’d be surprised at how little I have to say about a stupid blimp toy. Then again, maybe not…...

Animated Movie, 2017 My son is something of an animation aficionado. Don’t get me wrong – he’s a kid of 2022, preferring to watch a 15 second YouTube video over a two hour movie, but he knows his stuff. While he doesn’t love every animated flick, he has a pretty incredible knowledge of when films were made, what they were Continue Reading...

Headlies: Jacksonville Jaguars Select Bray Wyatt No. 1 Overall in 2022 NFL Draft

Las Vegas, NV – The Jacksonville Jaguars shocked both the football and professional wrestling worlds Thursday night by selecting Bray Wyatt as the number 1 overall pick. The raucous crowd stood in silence as Wyatt spider-walked across the stage. Terrified, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell threw a Jaguars jersey at Wyatt and ran off stage. Shaking Shad Khan’s hand, Wyatt smiled Continue Reading...

Someone Bought This: Bad WCW bedding artwork

It’s a WCW pillow case! Okay, we’ve got Buff Bagwell, Sting, Bill Goldberg, Macho Man Randy Savage, and… uh… Who’s that last guy supposed to be? Diamond Dallas Page? Did the person who drew that ever see DDP? “Ooooh Yeah!”? Did Randy Savage pay the artist to stick his catchphrase haphazardly in the middle there?...

Induction: McCinsey’s Island – Hulk likes turtles

8 Submitted by Art0Donnell on Thu, 28 April 2022, 22:36

Movie, 1998 It’s mind-boggling to consider that this website launched before some of the wrestlers we watch on TV were even born. And while we don’t take lightly our role as the internet’s arbiter of what is and isn’t crap in pro wrestling, many readers take it way more seriously than even we do, thoughtfully weighing in on whether this Continue Reading...

INDUCTION: Canvas Back Cat – Garfield Grapples to the Delight of No One

21 Submitted by RD Reynolds on Thu, 21 April 2022, 20:00

Cartoon, 1992 Sometimes I question if I get a bit too obscure with the inductions I pen, and this is definitely one of those times. While children of the 80s and 90s remember Garfield, I sincerely doubt most anyone else does. I mean, the last major item featuring Garfield was a pretty horrible movie in 2004, which by my count Continue Reading...

Induction: Viking Raiders vs. Street Profits – What a Viking stupid match

8 Submitted by Art0Donnell on Mon, 18 April 2022, 20:00

WWE, 2020 The second the War Raiders showed up on Raw as the Viking Experience, they could never be taken seriously again. My only explanation for this unforced error is that Vince heard the name “Ebony Experience” during Harlem Heat’s Hall of Fame speech, and a light bulb went off in his brain. Or an aneurysm. Either way, the intimidating Continue Reading...
