“The Best “Wrestling Merchandise April 2019
T he Wrestling merchandise column is back again! Along with your submissions, I also scour the internet for what is truly odd, bad, or interesting wrestling merchandise. I’ve done action figures, shirts, and everything else. Marty Jannetty Trading Card Now, I know what you are thinking, “Geek…. this card might have appealed to the female demographic of the 80s, but it is an assault on the senses now.” To you I say “SPEAK FOR YOURSELF!” As far as I am concerned, this card appeals to all demographics. It is timeless, just like Marty fucking Jannetty. He is one half of the tag team specialists known as The Rockers. Who even…

The Best Wrestling Fan Signs March 2019
Wrestling fans are perhaps some of the most creative with their signs. Here are a few of my favorites for this month. Bork Lazer’s a Softie So when you tickle Brock Lesnar, does he also let out a pterodactyl shriek? (see video below) Bret Hitman Fart Look at this fool misspelling Bret Hitman Hart’s name. Everyone point and laugh at them STAR WARS COMMENTARY SIGN Yes he was. That is all. VINCE RUSSO’S SLEEPING HABITS What am I really wondering is how did you come to that conclusion and what exactly do you mean by “Sleeping with,” like Vince and the goats nap together like my cat and I do…

“The Best” Wrestling Merchandise January 2018
The Wrestling merchandise column returns to GeekWithThat.com in a new monthly format. Along with your submissions, I also scour the internet for what is truly odd, bad, or interesting wrestling merchandise. I’ve done action figures, shirts, and everything else. Sting’s Seizure Inducing Hat I am not going to lie to you people, I would totally wear the shit out of this hat. (Adds to Amazon Wishlist) The Road Dogg Jesse James Plush Dog D-Generation X was marketed to teen males, and naturally all male teen edgelords would love a green plush dog. They would have it next to them while sniping me in Call of Duty and then telling me…

My First Wrestling Experience: Royal Rumble 1992
On January 27, 2019, WWE will be hosting its 31st Royal Rumble. It is a Pay Per View that tends to be a favorite among many WWE Fans. For me, in particular, it is special because, through a series of random circumstances, back on January 19, 1992 at home, I watched my first ever wrestling show ever. Yes, it was the Royal Rumble that year. What an introduction this experience was. New Foundation (Owen Hart & Jim Neidhart) vs. The Orient Express (Kato & Tanaka) w/ Mr Fugi This was it. This was my first match. Who brought me in as a fan, none other than Owen Hart himself. He…

Best WCW Theme Songs
The legacy of WCW lives on till this day. While Vince McMahon and managements wants you to think it was completely awful, truth is, there was a lot of good times in WCW. For instance, let us talk about some of their entrance themes. Granted, there were some awful ones like The American Males, “Man Called Sting” and so many more. However, on the flip side, there were some brilliant entrance theme songs that live on till this very day. 5. Ric Flair Technically it is originally from the film, 2001: A Space Odyssey. However, when you hear that theme song in a wrestling arena, you know everything is about…

The Worst Stables of Professional Wrestling
Awhile back, my friend over at the Twitter, Dai, posed this topic about wrestling stables… His followers and other friends of mine came up with some spectacularly bad ones. So let us take a look at some of them 5. Misfits in Action Ugh is the appropriate phrase for Misfits in Action. This was during Vince Russo’s 2nd run in WCW, and they were comically bad. Somehow, the group had the legendary Chavo Guerrero Jr in it, but even he couldn’t save this crap. They all had new names like Lt. Loco, Cpl Cajun, Private Stash, Sgt AWOL, GI Bro, and…. Captain Hugh G Rection. You get it?! The most…

5 Greatest Wrestling Theme Songs As Performed by Wrestlers
Wrestling is weird. Sometimes a wrestler will sing his or her own theme song. Name one other sport that does that. Not only that, but most of the ones that are sang by wrestlers themselves are completely bonkers. While they may be mad, I still freaking love them because of that reason. Here are 5 Greatest Wrestling Theme Songs As Performed by Wrestlers. 5. The Mountie Jacques Rougeau is a freaking legend. Former Intercontinental and Tag Team Champion in WWE, both under two different gimmicks. His run as The Mountie is full of comedy (some of which would not fly in 2018), but it is a classic. The year 1992 wasn’t…

Is WCW New Blood Rising the Worst Wrestling Event Ever?
Ladies and gentlemen, over the last 3 months I have struggled trying to write this review. It probably reads like Vince Russo held me hostage the entire time. I apologize for that. I made it. I watched the infamous WCW New Blood Rising. It is done. I will say this, I will never review a WCW Vince Russo event ever again. “Record Contract Ladder Match” Three Count vs. Yung Dragons This is a 3 team ladder match featuring 3 very talented teams plus Tank Abbott is there for some reason. The winner of the match will determined whether Three Count will still make music or not. Ummm…why does anybody give…

When it comes to Mantaur, Leave the Memories Alone
There’s been some very laughable wrestling characters in the history of wrestling. However, this one that quite often gets referenced, especially by the legendary Mick Foley. We are talking about Mantaur. Who is this Amazing Man known as Mantaur? I looked at the opening paragraph of WikiPedia and it had this to say: “On the January 7, 1995 episode of Superstars of Wrestling, Halac debuted in the World Wrestling Federation as Mantaur, defeating Walter Slow. The Mantaur character was that of a Minotaur who charged, trampled and mooed at opponents. Soon after debuting, he acquired Jim Cornette as his manager.” Hell yeah, he mooed! This was straight up Mystery Science…

Wrestling Shirts You Probably Wouldn’t Wear in Public
Going to a wrestling event is a lot like going to a rock concert with your favorite band. Like at any rock concert, if you can spare 40, you want a shirt supporting your favorite guy. While there has been many classics over the years like Austin 3:!6, the Cactus Jack Wanted shirt, Hulkamania, Rowdy Roddy Piper, and the 9000 John Cena shirts that somehow still sell over and over again, there’s been many wrestling shirts that I personally would not be seen in public. Bobby Roode – Generation Shirt or something Not that I’m well versed on the subject, but to me, this would seem like a graphic designer’s…
