The Heart Throbs

Inductions – WrestleCrap ·

2025/02/14

This Valentine’s Day, let’s look back on a team you probably forgot even existed: Romeo and Antonio, the Heart Throbs. Admittedly, when one thinks of forgettable tag teams, the Heart Throbs don’t exactly spring to mind… …which proves my point, really. Obscure as they are, once upon in a time, in a land called Ohio […]

Goldust On Conan O’Brien (Not Literally, But Pretty...

Inductions – WrestleCrap ·

2025/02/07

It’s crazy for me to think that Dustin Rhodes is not only still involved in pro wrestling, but appears to be lined up for a feud with one of the top heels in the business as I write this in MJF. I sure as heck didn’t have that on the bingo card in 2025. As […]

The CM Punk-Jack Perry footage

Inductions – WrestleCrap ·

2025/01/31

In WrestleCrap’s first 23 years, no Gooker Award winner ever pulled off a repeat. That said, it’s been something of a running joke to speculate about it. Hornswoggle came close, but his wins were two years apart, and for two different programs. Both Heel Michael Cole and Heel Dixie Carter were so overbearing, we imagined […]

Uncle Elmer is Back…in a Special Double Dip INDUCTION!

Inductions – WrestleCrap ·

2025/01/24

I’ve found over the years when I start down the path for one article on the site it’s not at all uncommon for it to lead to something else of a similar vein. So if you aren’t jonesing for a double dip induction featuring one of the worst in-ring wrestlers I’ve ever seen, well, all […]

The Bushwhackers’ Kangaroo

Inductions – WrestleCrap ·

2025/01/17

There’s an unwritten rule on WrestleCrap that we don’t induct the Bushwhackers. Sure, they were goofy. Sure, their matches sucked. But they were there to entertain the kids and warm up the crowd, and they delivered. That said, there’s no rule against inducting stuff involving the Bushwhackers, like say, Heroes of Wrestling or Four Doinks […]

INDUCTION SPECIAL: Raw on Netflix Google Searches!

Inductions – WrestleCrap ·

2025/01/10

Not sure if you heard, but Monday Night Raw has moved to this streaming platform thing called Netflix. Really, it’s true, that actually happened. I know they were keeping it very hush hush, but this actually occurred, this past Monday in fact as I write this. You’d think they’d beat us over the head with […]

Vote for the Very Worst in Wrestling – the 2024...

Inductions – WrestleCrap ·

2025/01/03

Another year, another twelve months of crappy wrestling. That’s a lie of course, as this past year was pretty darn good by my estimation. But…but…rest assured, there were plenty of stinkers too. Like there ever won’t be right? So it’s time to determine the winner of the 2024 Gooker Award! You want WWE mishaps? You […]

Holiday in Handcuffs

Inductions – WrestleCrap ·

2024/12/25

Fox Family Movie, 2007 Quick note from RD: With the amazing response the new/old WrestleCrap.com has been getting, some of you newer folks may be asking why on earth there’s an induction that has nothing to do with wrestling this week. The answer for that is simple – for the last 20+ years, my final […]

Rad Radford was a grungy-looking individual.

CHRISTMAS INDUCTION SPECIAL: Ten Santa Claus Hotlines...

Inductions – WrestleCrap ·

2024/12/20

It’s that time again….CHRISTMAS BABY! My absolute favorite time of the year and as you all know, I always take the spot for my last new induction on the calendar and fill it with an induction of something very non-wrestling related, that being terrible Christmas movies or TV shows of years past. I’ve done it […]

The Black Tie Brawl and Chain Match!

Inductions – WrestleCrap ·

2024/12/13

Heard recently that Conrad Thompson is bringing back Starrcast next year for the All In show in Texas and all I could do was smile. I know some folks don’t like Conrad, but he’s always been so nice to me, just a super guy all the way around. I was part of his first Starrcast […]

Wresting is hard. And no one made it look harder than David Flair.

Gobbledy Gooker – CHAMPION!!!!

Inductions – WrestleCrap ·

2024/11/27

Despite having a ton of it, I don’t keep much wrestling memorabilia out these days. I mean, I have wrestling magazines, videogames, albums, cards and tons more. Hulk Hogan Thunder Mixer? Of course. The original Katie Vick outfit? Yep, still have it. But again, very little on display. In fact, the sum and total of […]

Lenny and Lodi

Inductions – WrestleCrap ·

2024/11/22

In wrestling, some gimmicks fail because they’re ahead of their time. But instead, I’m going to talk about Lenny and Lodi. In the summer of 1999, Lenny Lane and Lodi, two WCW journeymen, started getting close. Lodi, formerly of Raven’s Flock, showed up to Lenny’s matches with a new look… …and bailed Lenny out. Lenny […]

WCW Nitro Grill Grand Opening Party – Home of the...

Inductions – WrestleCrap ·

2024/11/15

I’ve told you all before about how I was actually one of the few that was able to visit the WCW Nitro Grill. The short-lived restaurant was part of the Excalibur hotel in Las Vegas, and yeah, I went there with Mrs. Deal to check it out. Don’t believe me? Yep, there’s your proof. Zero […]

Vader vs. Kane – Mask vs. Mask

Inductions – WrestleCrap ·

2024/11/08

This week’s induction is about a match with incredibly high stakes. Well, high stakes for one guy, and some of the lowest stakes of all time for the other. Back in February ’98, Kane had sidelined Vader, hitting him in the head with a cartoonishly large wrench. Of course, the big man hadn’t really gotten […]

INDUCTION SPECIAL: Rating Every WCW Halloween Havoc...

Inductions – WrestleCrap ·

2024/10/31

When I think about the things I miss most about WCW, the wackiness they always brought us every October would be near the top of the list. We got goofy matches, oodles of Elvira commercials, and WrestleCrap galore. But more than anything, we got my favorite annual wrestling event ever: HALLOWEEN HAVOC! It really didn’t […]

Vampiro, The Canadian Vampire in Night Warrior

Inductions – WrestleCrap ·

2024/10/25

With Halloween approaching, it’s time to look at a movie that’s been making the rounds online as of late. Like Nosferatu and Dracula before it, this movie features a vampire—a Canadian vampire, in fact! The 1993 Mexican film, Vampiro, guerrero de la noche, dubbed into English alternately as Vampiro: Warrior of the Night and The […]

Earl Hebner vs. Nick Patrick: The InVasion Reaches...

Inductions – WrestleCrap ·

2024/10/18

Not sure what the story is, but of late I’ve been getting a ton of questions about the infamous InVasion storyline that took place after the WWF bought WCW in 2001. All I can think is that even now, nearly a quarter century later (!!!), people are still ticked about how badly Vince and his […]

Kwee-Wee

Inductions – WrestleCrap ·

2024/10/11

Back in 2000, like many wrestling fans, I had nothing but contempt for WCW. My brothers and I would watch Nitro only around 8:55, in those last few minutes before Raw came on. But that was still enough time to catch one fan’s sign, reading, “WWF is a joke”. “WCW however, which features a wrestler […]
