When she wasn’t doing whatever it was she did in TNA, Brooke Hogan sang. And what better way to celebrate the Fourth Of July than hearing the Hulkster’s daughter since the American and Canadian national anthems during the 2004 Stanley Cup finals? It’s what our Founding Fathers would have wanted.
You know what? She does a good job! Eat your heart out, Rockin’ Robin.
Here’s a fun throwback: Eddie Sharkey‘s Pro Wrestling Camp VHS. It doesn’t exactly get off to a great start as “Wrestling” is misspelled at the very beginning, but we do get interviews, mullets, and the finest music Cinemax After Dark has to offer.
Get ready to hit the gym, stretch properly, and tuck your chin when you bump. If it worked for the Road Warriors, Ravishing Rick Rude, and, uh, The Warlord, then Eddie Sharkey’s Pro Wrestling Camp is for you!
Did you know there was a rap video for Total Nonstop Action?
Judging by the number of views and subscribers, TNA probably didn’t know either!
Too bad they couldn’t get Kurt Angle to throw in a few bars.
Sure, a WCW lottery game from Kansas is a fun little oddity from a time when pro-wrestling was white hot, but the real gem from this commercial is seeing four wrestlers fight it out while dressed like old ladies.
We’ve got Bam Bam Bigelow, Konnan, Billy Kidman, and Perry Saturn doing their best Grandmama impression in the squared circle. It’s amazing that with all of the bad gimmicks and angles at that time that we never got a version of this stable on Thunder.
Before he needed his patented Blow Away diet, Playboy Buddy Rose had himself a little fashion show on Portland’s Two on 4. Buddy didn’t want to strut his stuff alone, though. He’s joined by Mega Maharishi, which eagle-eyed wrestling fans will recognize as the future Colonel DeBeers. We even get Roddy Piper, uh, dogging Buddy with some pointed insults.
So what do you think? Did Buddy Rose and Mega Maharishi have what it takes for the the catwalks at Fashion Week? Should Maximum Male Models look to them for inspiration? Either way, we need more wrestlers on local daytime talk shows modeling their gear.
In 1993, WWF Champion Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji visited “Late Night” with Conan O’Brien.
Highlights include the crowd cheering the defeat of Hulk Hogan, Yoko no selling everything, and Fuji being Fuji.
Have you ever seen a promo go completely off the rails?
Oh, sure. You may think Sid’s “We’re live, pal” promo or Jumpin’ Jeff Farmer go off the rails, but they have nothing, nothing, on the Voodoo Cane.
It seems that manager Mark Manson (dressed as the world’s funkiest magician) has a special voodoo cane so powerful that it causes announcer Bob Luce to laugh hysterically while Pepper Gomez looks bemused. Even Manson breaks by the end. The Boogeyman’s smoking cane can’t hold a candle to this magical instrument.
Has this ever been on Botchamania? Mrs. Deal, get Maffew on the phone!
