The Hulkster Has Fallen On Some Hard Times

 After his family fell apart due to his reality show, Hogan Knows Best, Hulk Hogan had a stint as an announcer on the short lived revival of (the TCM Favorite) American Gladiators. Many of us wondered, what the hell happened to the Hulkster? Besides dating a woman who looks remarkably like his daughter (who he also may or may not be having sex with) Hogan showed up at an upstate New York race track looking remarkably well kept, svelte, and all around sexy as hell. It looks like he traded in his title belt for a slab of of a cow’s leg that he had to poke his own holes into to fit around his stomach.

Beer gut? Check. Skullet? Check. Vintage 80′s Hulkamaniac head band? Check. Iron on transfer of a picture of this impersonator meeting the real Hogan on his leg? Fucking check and mate.

Mr. Perfect’s perfectness

If you read my stuff, you know I have a soft spot for old school wrestling. It was just what you got subjected to when you had an older brother and friends. You learned at a young age what it was like to Bushwhack. You learned how to do the figure-four leg lock. You learned about the hurricane splash, how to jump off the top ropes/couch, and how to also work the crowd. You also learned that Curt Hennig truly was perfect.

He was. Here are a series of clips Mr. Perfect did to show just how perfect he is:

Smackdowns – Ultimate Warrior dominates everything in his path

Here at TCM, we love the Ultimate Warrior. We like the idea you have no clue what he’s talking about half the time, we like the idea he’s from parts unknown, and we like the idea he’s a certifiable bad ass. Of all the wrestlers that ever existed, it’s safe to say that the Ultimate Warrior had to be the most intense and unpredictable. The Honky Tonk Man figured out the hard way.

It was Summerslam 1988 and apparently the Honky Tonk Man was getting a bit too confident/cocky in himself by challenging anyone and everyone to come out and fight him.

The Warrior’s response?

Exactly what I would’ve gone with.

Honky Tonk Man, the Ultimate Warrior just laid an incredible smackdown on your ass.

Wrestling Names

1188312543 5219 Wrestling Names

Wrestlers are notorious for giving themselves incredible names. Need proof? Consider Hulk Hogan, Macho Man Randy Savage, Brutus the Barber Beefcake, the Honkey Tonk Man, and the Ultimate Warrior. If I met someone at work that had a similar sounding name, I’d probably shit myself. But thanks to this web site, I now can (meet people with wrestler names, not shit myself)!

According to the site, Captain Polish’s wrestling name is Gentlemen Gravy. Who knew I had a thing for gravy? Amazing.

Fire up your names and see what you come up with. I spent nearly fifteen minutes inputting friends and family the other day. Ladies, there is a female toggle for you so you can get some diva names.

God I love wrestling.

Real Life Finishers

If you have ever watched wrestling on TV, you will know that each wrestler has their own special “finishing move” to essentially win them the match after it is executed. Some are quite cool. And some aren’t.

Now what if that carried over into the real world, like everyone was born with their own individual finisher. You would only use it when necessary. It would be on your drivers license next to your height and weight. It would be something like this:

Height: 6′ 7″
Weight: 220lbs.
Finisher: The Yarosaurus
Does Not Need Glasses

You get the idea. I bet the question your asking is, “What is the Yarosaurus?” Well, I shall explain. I was born with it so I am the only one who possesses this finisher. It is walking up to someone, punching them in the face, then kicking them in the groin region, picking them up when they are bent over due to the kick and throwing them into on coming traffic. It gets the 3 count every time…trust me.

triumphant Real Life Finishers

Maybe just life in general should be more like professional wrestling. Like when a friend shows up at your house, they have an entrance theme song and video playing in the background. My theme song would be Death to All But Metal by Steel Panther and the video would be me just bitch slapping everyone as I walk down a crowded NYC street. Kind of like the music video for Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve but a hell of a lot more violent. I personally think the world would be a better place. Think about it, 2 countries are in dispute over a piece of land; the next step would be to go to war, correct? Wrong. Have both presidents dress up in their wrestling attire and showdown in the squared circle. The winner gets the piece of land. Now that’s a lot more fun than war.

Also, everyone should carry around a microphone to call people out if they have beef with one another. Here is a real world example: My hypothetical daughter just recently broke up with her boyfriend and he wants her back. So he shows up at our house unannounced, and stands on the front lawn. He breaks out his microphone and starts to call for her to come outside. Little does this douchebag know, she isn’t home. So BAM! On comes my theme song and video and out I come from the front door. The kid shits himself, drops his microphone and runs. “Don’t worry junior, we will meet come Neighborhoodmania 2010″, I say to myself.

There you have it folks, they keys to a better world. Let us know what your finisher/entrance theme would be. Maybe we will meet up and battle.

Great Moments In World History

Some times you just got to highlight a “Great Moment in World History” just because it is the right thing to do. Today’s entry needs no thorough explanation of it’s meaning – at Wrestlemania III, Hulk Hogan slammed Andre the Giant. Don’t remember? Role the clip:

No one ever slammed Andre the Giant. He was unbeatable. The Hulkster was able to do it while pulling just about every muscle in his back in the process. Unbelieveable.
