“This is what the world has been waiting for!” says Tony Schiavone about the Rock and Roll Express Fan Club. Seems like a bit of a stretch, but maybe the world really wanted four newsletters a year, life-size standees, membership cards, and a copy of Ricky’s single. I’m sure those would all go for a pretty penny on eBay today.

Some older wrestling fans may be more familiar with Pierre Carl Ouellet’s run as Jean-Pierre Lafitte, evil, jacket-stealing pirate or from his run as one-half of The Quebecers. In recent years, PCO remade himself on the indies as a wild and violent madman, doing all sorts of stuff.

At a Beyond Wrestling show, PCO was taking on MJF and required a little bit of help from D. Destro. Namely, 10,000 volts of help.

We’ve seen car batteries used in wrestling before, but using a battery to help a wrestler “hulk up” is definitely a new one for me. Don’t forget to check his oil and change his air filter, Destro.

Like many retired wrestlers, Jake The Snake Roberts has his own podcast. But do those shows have their legendary hosts watch honest-to-goodness Wrestlecrap? No, they do not (unless they do, then please send it to us!).

Join Jake, along with his co-host Marcus DeAngelo, as he experiences the wonders of the Chamber of Horrors, The Yeti, the Monster Truck Sumo Match, and so much more. It’s a snake pit full of laughs to relive some of this craptacular nonsense.

Need to spice up the Toronto Indycar race in the early 2000’s? Who ya gonna call?

Val Venis, Rhyno, and Scotty 2 Hotty!

Bob Holly must’ve been busy that day. Or maybe he wasn’t Canadian enough.

The Doctor of Style Slick wanted to be Andre the Giant’s manager so bad and Andre was having none of it. Maybe a parking lot ceremony would have worked instead.

If managers still got stuffed into car trunks, Raw and Smackdown ratings would be through the roof.

When aliens invade the planet, who are you going to call to save the day? The Avengers? The Avengers Of Justice?

No!

You call retired wrestlers! With former grapplers like Glacier, Larry Zbyszko, Ron Reis, and Ernest “The Cat” Miller, The Unbreakable Bunch and Earth just may have a fighting chance.

Wait, Haku and Stan Hansen are here too?

Alright, we’ve got nothing to worry about. We’ll be fine. To Haku!

Ozzy Osbourne is once again going into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, this time as a solo act. The Ozzman is no stranger to professional wrestling as he appeared at Wrestlemania II in the corner for The British Bulldogs. No doubt, he and Matilda, exchanged managing tips. I can practically hear “Throw a (bleeping) dropkick, Dynamite” now.

During that first “Vince is gone, Triple H is in charge” stutter step, Hunter’s influence could be felt on War Games: Survivor Series. Not only did they shell out the money to use Black Sabbath’s classic “War Pigs” but they even got Ozzy Osbourne himself to appear in the hype video.

Hopefully, we get more of this now that we’re in the Paul “Triple H” Leveque era. If Finger Eleven wants to come out and play “Slow Chemical” for a returning Kane, I’d be into it.

Back in 1998, Mick Foley stopped by Gallagher on TSN. It is very Canadian and I love it. The Mickster stops by as WWF Champion to answer some questions and have a good time. He even talks about Halftime Heat!

I’ve been out of the loop for a while. Do fun shows like this still exist or is it all just sports clowns and blowhards yelling at each other?
