Earthquake John Tenta Serves Up His Specialty – QUAKE...

2024/03/08

When Vice announced they were going to be doing a Dark Side of the Ring featuring “Earthquake” John Tenta, a lot of folks were left scratching their heads. Count me among them. The producers reached out to me for my thoughts, which made sense – I was very blessed to call John my friend in the latter […]

Nikki A.S.H.

Inductions – WrestleCrap ·

2024/03/05

Like any good superhero, Nikki A.S.H. has an origin story. [Ed.: This is the last time the phrase “good superhero” will appear in this induction] In 2021, after a long absence and an even longer stretch of irrelevance, Nikki Cross began a winning streak of sorts. First, she “beat” Rhea Ripley in a Beat the […]

Gable Steveson’s Debut

Inductions – WrestleCrap ·

2024/02/27

Ever since the NCAA started allowing its players — I mean, student athletes — to actually make money on the side, WWE has been calling dibs on amateur talent left and right. Without a doubt the biggest name to sign with WWE while still in college has been Gable Steveson, who in 2021 became the […]

You Think Kazuchika Okada is Great? Say Hello To His...

Inductions – WrestleCrap ·

2024/02/23

As I write this, Kazuchika Okada is one of the hottest free agents in pro wrestling today. The Japanese sensation announced earlier this year he was leaving New Japan Pro Wrestling and it is seemingly clear he’s going to wind up in either WWE or AEW, the latter of which he’s already appeared in on […]

Rob “Gronk” Gronkowski

Inductions – WrestleCrap ·

2024/02/13

With another Super Bowl in the record books, it’s as good a time as any to revisit the not-brief-enough WWE run of Rob “Gronk” Gronkowski. On paper, it was a match made in heaven. After all, Gronk is a 6’6” future NFL Hall of Famer… …and if there’s one thing Vince McMahon loves more than […]

The Rock is in 3D…and Now YOU Can Own Him, Thanks to...

Inductions – WrestleCrap ·

2024/02/09

Not sure if you’ve noticed, but THE ROCK IS BACK! And apparently we’re either supposed to be really happy about that or very angry about it, either in real life or in some wacky angle or shoot or something. I dunno. What I do know is there’s arguably no better way to celebrate The Great […]

Adam Rose and the Rosebush

Inductions – WrestleCrap ·

2024/02/06

WWE’s Rosebush segments (starring Adam Rose) were a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it phenomenon in every sense. First, they ran for only three weeks. Second, each episode was just a minute long. And third, if you’d kept your eyes open for those sixty seconds and forced yourself not to blink, it wouldn’t have made watching the segments any more […]

The Disco Ladder Match

Inductions – WrestleCrap ·

2024/01/30

When you hear the phrase, “Disco Ladder Match”, a lot of questions come to mind. Namely, did Vince Russo book that in 1999, or was it 2000? But amazingly, not only did it not feature Disco Inferno……it wasn’t even in WCW, but the UK’s All-Star Wrestling. Having watched plenty of British wrestling, I’ll give you […]

CM Punk in AEW

Inductions – WrestleCrap ·

2024/01/26

Pyrrhic victory (noun): a victory or goal achieved at too great a cost. I almost, almost, posted the featured image, the title, and that definition and nothing more. It really does sum up the saga of CM Punk’s AEW tenure in so many ways. Because make no mistake about it – this company getting the […]

James Mitchell’s NWA Samhain Coke Party

Inductions – WrestleCrap ·

2024/01/23

James Mitchell’s live cocaine shenanigans proved one of wrestling’s costliest mistakes ever. And it all went down at a pay-per-view event called NWA Samhain. As in, What in Sam Hain were they thinking? Going into the NWA Samhain event, the NWA* and its owner Billy Corgan** were riding high off the news that they’d finally […]

A Very Clowny WrestleMania – Doinks, Dinks, Lunas,...

Inductions – WrestleCrap ·

2024/01/19

WrestleMania X has long been heralded as one of the greatest Manias of all time. It started with the incredible Bret vs. Owen Hart match, featured Shawn Michaels and Razor Ramon in a classic ladder match, and ended with a big celebration as “The Hitman” lifted the WWF title belt in victory. By golly, it […]
