A look at some truly bizarre and strange WWF, WWE and WCW bootleg wrestling merchandise thats been released over the years; Hulk Hogan action figures, John Cena T-Shirts, knock-off wrestling rings and loads more.
Also includes a look at official merchandise that's a little questionable (such as AJ Styles' TNA shirt, a Hornswoggle official finger ring and more)

I remember when I was kid, I bought one of those 4-pack bootleg mini-wrestler sets. I don't remember 2 of them but the other 2 were knock-off Buff Bagwell and RVD figures. Buff surprisingly looked decent. Had the black tights, hat and everything. RVD had a blonde mohawk and a blue singlet with the letters "SVD", so I just decided to call him "Sid Van Dam"

You mean your Wom?

[@DimJongUn]

2:15, Holy hell,I had that camera! I was 8 and it was my first camera (bought at the Sears Outlet Store, so clearly not in high demand). I thought it was so cool at first, but then Hulk Hogan's picture was in the bottom corner of every pic. I paid with my allowance to get that damn 110 film developed at Costco, only to see Hulk ruining my pics. I finally decided to take the thing apart and was able to remove that stupid slide. You brought back memories with this vid!

[@captainjonty]

1. That was legitimately god damn hilarious 2. Please for the love of god make more of these videos! 3. I want that fighting puppet and I’m going to find it

[@TheLarryburns84]

that puppet is actually oddly common, the sucky part is they're almost always broken when they do show up

[@whobitmyname]

I totally called the Jericho doll. Sometimes I just... know... things. Also, that 25 Cent Man is just magical... the scraggly facial hair, the broken look in his eyes, the knee holes, the untucked shirt piece, the jacket that looks like he sold his sleeves for wine. I want one.

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

Bossman looking all sad like his wife Then left em.😂

[@monkeybone1080]

God I love bootlegs. Sometimes they're good for a laugh, and other times they're genuine quality (like my statue of Mecha Frieza) would genuinely be interested in seeing more of this in a part 2 or more!

[@fattomandeibu]

If you ever decide to do this for hours, I'll be watching. Absolutely "top class" stuff.

[@enterthehat]

I hurt my stomach laughing at this stuff. You gotta do more!

[@SpaceQuack]

I think we can all agree "the incredible fella" belongs in Wrestling Bios own hall of fame . .. amazing 😄😄

[@mangrove]

That was made by Obvious Plant, who makes a lot of hilarious stuff and posts them on Instagram and Facebook.

[@tranquilo6897]

That Stone Cold giving the stunner on the Razor Ramon figure looked like the Toxic Avenger.

[@timomajere]

Ohh Lordy. I remember so many bootleg video games from like Nintendo cartridges back in the day, I kind of hope this video covers a few. Thanks for the videos and the run through the fields of nostalgia. 13:25 Looks like Hogan's missing finger could be a 'shocker' of a tale to tell. 15:05 It's discount Jim Duggan.. HooOoOoO!

[@emilylouise614]

I wonder if it was the finger poke of doom finger and it just exploded from the force of the poke 🤔

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

They still do those handhelds today At Walmart with nes games.

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

And why is bossman so depressed?😂

[@PedroBenolielBonito]

2:20 I HAD THAT CAMERA!! The Turtles one. Neither my mother nor my 6-year-old self expected it to have a randomly occurring, floating watermark added to every photo (as in, it never stayed in one place - I notoriously remember one appearing right on top of somebody's face.) There turned out to be a bypass/workaround that removed the watermark and just made it a regular camera with a cool design (which I then used for several more years), but yeah...that first roll of film was almost completely spoiled by the gimmick.

[@matthewrosenthal753]

This definitely needs part 2. This was hilarious 😂

[@joshthemediocre7824]

I always go to garage sales in the summer, every once in awhile i'll come across some wrestling figures with some bootlegs mixed in. I always buy them if they're cheap enough just for a good laugh. Last summer i came across an original Hasbro Hulk & Ultimate warrior figures that i had as a kid and they were still in the box for $1 each, i couldn't get my money out fast enough..some figures are funny but some remind me so much of my childhood. Good stuff man.

[@89Wrathchild]

I absolutely require a second video on this. This was too funny.

[@joejupiter4138]

My favorite authentic action figures were the ones that sweat, from WWF around 2000 or 2001. You fill them with water, push a button, and the water gets squeezed out through little holes all over their bodies. Such a weird gimmick. But what was better was the sculpts. Every wrestler was super jacked up with huge bulging muscles and big popping veins, and they were all posed in this sort of standing squat with their arms reaching out and their faces comically enraged. It looked like they were dropping some extremely painful poops.

[@patrickhein6986]

In 1991 or 92 I bought a Bootleg T-Shirt from The Undertaker on a Fair. He had RED Gloves on that instead Gray but I didn´t care. I bought that Knock-off because a Official Licenced T-Shirt was too Expensive for me back then. On the next Fair my Father bought my little Brother an Official Marty Jannetty T-Shirt. Man was I jealous! Not because it had Marty on it, it was because it was Official. My little Brother knew that and Boy, that little Fu***r wore it with Pride in Front of me. 😂

[@SuperNovaDwarf]

Ah! I remember the OGO. The original goof order. Darn. Almost forgot about them.

[@PedroBenolielBonito]

1:15 'The Incredible Fella' AKA The Irish Hulk. Also, we're looking at bootleg wrestling figures, and Bios resides in the British Isles...yet resident cheap-bootleg-figure expert Dr. Ashens is nowhere to be seen. (Seriously, a collab between these two over Poundland wrestling figures would MELT MY BRAIN.)

[@peterq1978]

my intial thought is they were attacked by a Werewolf befor Steve Blackman came in to destroy it.

[@honestdave]

Imagine trying to explain those t shirts to non fans😂

[@broken123kid4]

i found some these in a store in texas like a john cena tna puzzle and other products their still selling them here in texas

[@smutjunkies559]

I love bootlegs because growing up we always got toys from the swap meet and just assumed it was all legit. Only later did we find out what bootlegs actually were. Now there's even a market for bootleg stuff. Love it!

[@allindignantmusic]

Big Show and Undertaker fought on an episode of ECW for the ECW title when Show was champ, so that shirt made kind of sense at 6:03.

Somewhat off topic...the saddest sight is going to the "toy" section at a Rite-Aid. I'll always see 2-3 WWF action figures that you know have been sitting there for a few years.

A bit surprised by how few Macho Man figurines there were. I believe I only saw one in this video.

[@chero666]

That Ahmed figurine looks like an unused New Jack concept

[@BainesMkII]

@13:55 That is a Baltard head, or at least a modified derivative. Baltard is a character from the Galaxy Warriors toy line, which was a knock-off of He-Man toys and Frank Frazetta artwork. The information about Galaxy Warriors is a massive rabbit hole in the world of bootleg toys, as not only were the figures repeatedly recycled into into different releases and even entirely different genres (like wrestling figures), they also ended up being bootlegged by others. If you think it is a weird head design, the original Baltard was apparently copied from Frank Frazetta's (does a quick Google search) "The Swamp Demon".

[@pathutchison7688]

Took me an hour to watch this cuz of delirious laughter. Thank you.

[@roundhouse2176]

Laughed seeing The Incredible Fella in the intro, but then I went down a rabbit hole and learned about what Obvious Plant actually is.

That Ultimate Warrior bootleg figure at the start actually copies the classic Jakks bone-crunching action Warrior figure's head. And that Hollywood Hogan steals the old Hasbro Adam Bomb noggin.

[@clint4951]

*Robert Cop* (Robocop) should be on this list. Classic knock-off, and still part of WWE canon.

[@jdixon390]

Same, I see a lot of bootleg action figures from dodgy toy stalls, as a kid I loved the WWE Micro Aggression figures and there's some companies that keep releasing their own type with a new ring set and new accessories and I love them.
