Super Mario Bros. in Tag Team Trouble!

Inductions – WrestleCrap ·

2024/06/14

Generally when you think of pro wrestling connections to Super Mario Bros., you think of one thing: Captain Lou Albano swinging his arms from side to side because it’s time to go and on do the Mario! Now you may ask why I don’t have an MP3 of that, perhaps thinking I am scared of […]

“The Reject” Shannon Moore

2024/06/11

ECW on Sci-Fi featured a lot of kooky stuff in its early months, from zombies to vampires to exhibitionists. But one of the more authentic new characters who caught viewers’ attention that summer was a punk rock misfit. In a backstage vignette, a distorted guitar riff accompanied the unveiling of ECW’s newest wrestler. Dressed in […]

Tyrus vs. EC3

Inductions – WrestleCrap ·

2024/06/04

Quick wrestling quiz: Who was the most viewed world champion in history? Not Hulk Hogan, despite wrestling Andre the Giant for the largest TV wrestling audience ever. And not The Rock or Stone Cold Steve Austin, both world champions when Raw was at its ratings peak. No, according to Billy Corgan, the most viewed world […]

Regis, Hulk Hogan, and Pikachu Too!

2024/05/31

If you’ve been around this place for any length of time, you know I have different things I fall back on from time to time. You know what I’m talking about, the treasured chestnuts I keep in the back pocket when I personally need a laugh. Stuff like old game shows, dead sites, or sitcoms […]

In the spring of 2021, Kip Sabian got injured and needed surgery, forcing him to put his career on hold. Surgery was a success, now we rebuild. Thanks everyone who reached out ✌🏻🖤 — Kip Sabian 🏴‍☠️ (@TheKipSabian) May 17, 2021 Then, after months of sitting at home, he decided to get back on TV […]

Kathie Lee and Hoda on Raw

Inductions – WrestleCrap ·

2024/05/21

One Monday morning in 2014, John Cena appeared on the Today Show and invited Kathie Lee and Hoda to WWE Raw. It sounded like a bad idea. After all, what possible audience overlap was there between the two shows? How many people in waiting rooms across the country would even remember to watch wrestling that […]

Trish Stratus vs. Stacy Keibler…Bras! Panties!...

Inductions – WrestleCrap ·

2024/05/17

Over the years, I’ve pondered adding new sections to WrestleCrap.com. One idea that always seems to bubble up would be to post things that could never make the air today, things that simply were either a product of their time or didn’t age well. I’ve always decided against doing that, as I could totally see […]

The Musketeer and company

Inductions – WrestleCrap ·

2024/05/14

When you think of ECW’s greatest alumni, The Musketeer would be way, way down the list. In fact, even when you think just of ECW’s greatest alumni whose names sound like candy bars, The Musketeer would still be way, way down the list, somewhere behind David Heath. The Musketeer had wrestled on the indies for […]

Did You Know Bane Was Once a Luchador?

2024/05/03

Probably goes without saying that I’m a HUGE Batman fan. After all, I just did an over two year (!!!) podcast run with none other than Vince Russo as we dissected every single show from the 1966 run of the Batman television show. But while a lot of folks only like the Batman they grew […]

Luke Gallows vs. Sylvester Terkay… vs. Antonio Inoki

Inductions – WrestleCrap ·

2024/04/30

Before Luke Gallows made it big in Japan as part of the Bullet Club, he’d had a rough go of it in the Land of the Rising Sun. In fact, in one of his last matches before his Bullet Club stint, he faced Sylvester Terkay in a match so bad, it got both men cussed […]

Johnny Swinger vs. Barry Horowitz

Inductions – WrestleCrap ·

2024/04/23

One of these days, I’ve got to get on TNA+, if only for a month. It’s like WWE Network, but for TNA, ya know? And notice I said WWE Network, not Peacock. That’s because like WWE’s original streaming site, TNA+ appears to have a working search function. So I can search my favorite TNA wrestler… […]

Hulk Hogan’s Wrestling Shop Gets Paid a Visit by RD...

Inductions – WrestleCrap ·

2024/04/19

It wasn’t fair. It just was NOT fair. I was in Orlando recently for work, and my schedule was jam packed. Booked during the days at a trade show, dinner with clients in the evenings. And yet there it was staring me right in the face as I came into the hotel lobby: Yep, a […]

Sandman vs Sabu – November to Remember 1997

Inductions – WrestleCrap ·

2024/04/16

At ECW November to Remember 1997, The Sandman battled Sabu in an historic match. Think Tables, Ladders & Chairs matches started with the Hardy Boyz, Dudley Boyz, and Edge & Christian? Wrong. It was The Sandman vs. Sabu in a Tables & Ladders match, with chairs thrown into the mix. In fact, the only major […]

Highlights of WrestleMania VHS

Inductions – WrestleCrap ·

2024/04/09

Picture this: The year is 1986. You see this ad for new WWF video tapes, touting WrestleMania for just $19.95. Maybe you’d never seen it, or maybe you’d rented it once but never bought it… …because, even at the special price of $39.95, that was still twelve hours of labor at your minimum wage job. […]

The Great Khali vs. Kane Was a WRESTLEMANIA Match!!

Inductions – WrestleCrap ·

2024/04/05

You’d think after 24 years (we just celebrated our anniversary a few days ago!) we’d be running out of WrestleMania stuff to induct. I mean, a quick check of the trusty ol’ search bar reveals literally dozens of Inductions featuring the so-called “grandest stage of them all”. But still to this day, I am often […]

A meme that spiraled out of control, Veer Mahaan may have been the first “gag” push in WWE history.

Shane McMahon vs. The Miz

Inductions – WrestleCrap ·

2024/03/26

I don’t like to oversell things, but Shane McMahon’s WrestleMania 39 mishap was the funniest thing to ever happen to anybody. Picture this: It’s Night Two of WrestleMania 39. Hosts Snoop Dogg and the Miz stand in the ring to announce the event’s massive attendance. The night before, Snoop had put Miz into an impromptu […]

2024/03/22

Well well well…a quick glance at the calendar shows us that it has been 37 years since the 37th Annual Slammy Awards. Seems to me there is no better time to do a deep dive of the grand finale of that show! You remember that, right? When the entire WWF roster got together and began […]

Ric Flair vs. Hulk Hogan – First Blood

Inductions – WrestleCrap ·

2024/03/19

Tonight’s induction, Ric Flair vs. Hulk Hogan at Uncensored ’99, is one of those matches I thought for sure we’d written about on WrestleCrap decades ago. As it turns out, I’d read about it in Pro Wrestling Illustrated… …in The Death of WCW (which turns 20 this year!)… …and in The Death of WCW: 10th […]
