Weird Crazy WWF Merchandiser, Brother

[@shanester1832]

I was watching wrestling in the late 80s & my dad walks through. "Ric Flair?!? That guy's still wrestling?" He was on Rogan a few months ago talking about his recent match. Still going 30 years after he was "too old" I was way into it for a few years and that was it. I did see a few of the A&E bios and they're good. The one with Ray Mysterio was fantastic and I knew nothing about him. A cage match for the custody of his son? Hell yeah!

[@brianknapp6215]

Flair had his "Final Match" in July 2022... probably WILL be his last- since It's come out he suffered a _heart attack_ while wrestling it.

[@shanester1832]

@brianknapp6215 I knew he wasn't regularly going at it and it was a stunt event but still, he still did it. On Rogan he was teasing maybe one more. He doesn't need to, he's got all his little weed products he's making money from.

[@brianknapp6215]

@@shanester1832 Flair should have retired a _decade_ ago... at least he's gotten to see his daughter Charlotte find success and notoriety in the "family business"!

[@Shiftygism]

Ric had his trunks pulled down every house show, it was a recurring bit!

[@ChrisSuperDude]

Funny enough, his daughter did the same spot a few years ago. Except she did it by accident.

[@3Storms]

Those wrestling buddies sold pretty well, and were somehow a hit for whoever made them.

[@NintendoSuperstar93]

I watched a little bit of wrestling here and there as a kid, but not much. When I did watch, my favorites were Stone Cold Steve Austin and Sting (when he had the whole gimmick where he looked like The Crow).

[@qualityserviceexperts9996]

That "police officer" was Big Bossman and he was billed from Cobb County!

[@brianknapp6215]

I still can't wrap my head around the appeal of the cartoon _Hulk Hogan's Rock 'N Wrestling..._

[@shanester1832]

I watched it. I don't really remember the premise, but it was unusual that these "enemies" were sometimes friends in cartoon world. It was at its peak with all the name brand stars. They could've done anything; pillows, toothpaste, Saturday morning cartoons & breakfast cereal.

[@ciscodeer9094]

I had the WWF wrestling buddies, my favorite was the Ultimate Warrior, God I abused that thing so much that it had holes, my mom threw it away.

[@brianknapp6215]

As long as you didn't "abuse" the holes...

[@ciscodeer9094]

@@brianknapp6215 LOL nope I didn't it was just dirty.

[@spankynater4242]

I was a fan of Southwest Championship Wrestling, but never of WWF.

[@BoshiYoshi]

My brother and I had wrestling buddies and we also both had one of those tv trays! Yes we wrestled the wrestling buddies on the trampoline and yes we hit each other in the head with the tv trays.

[@candacecherry2846]

My friend hade it all

[@frankierivera5451]

Why did your friend hade all of these? 😂

[@shanester1832]

Random wrestling story I never have reason to tell. Probably 6th grade at a small town wresting event, lower tier circuit stuff. Me & friend stood on a table at the back of the building for a better view. We're watching, not that exciting. Suddenly a deafening explosive sound popped off. It was the sound of that particle board table snapping in half and us falling to the ground. Everybody was looking at us, even the wrestlers, still in grapple mode, staring at the 2 idiots. Pure distilled embarrasment.

[@ThatJunkman]

Funny

[@tperson8347]

Lovit. :) I'm imagining one of the wrestlers in a headlock and they're both staring at you guys. :)

[@shanester1832]

@tperson8347 I stood up with fresh shock & confusion and see hundreds of people in a fairgrounds auditorium all staring at us. The wrestlers were in a tie up position, standing with their hands on each other's shoulders/necks both paused their intense struggle to stare at us. Time stopped. It was like a scene in a movie.

[@tperson8347]

@@shanester1832 Hahah! :)

[@UndrAttack]

Can confirm the Ultimate Warrior does not currently have hair like that.

[@chuckdawg1999]

Because he died 10 years ago. Look up the story behind his last days, it's inspirational.

[@Shiftygism]

That's not a banjo, that's a 2x4! 'Hacksaw' Jim Duggan!! Hoooooooooo!!!!

[@qualityserviceexperts9996]

That Fuckin Junkman 😂

[@fakereality96]

Hilarious video! I had some of the stuff especially multiple wrestling buddies. It was fun stacking the couch cushions on top of each other, and jumping into them from off the back of the sofa with my wrestling buddy I was pretend wrestling. Good times!

[@kevcox5585]

That video is utterly hilarious 🤣🤣 Wresting playing Ice Hockey with a kid wearing a helmet for no explicable reason 😂 I used to love The Royal Rumble - remember that RR when Rick Flair came out first and won 😂😂 I gotta say Ultimate Warrior was my favourite wrestler. He was the king. RIP 🙏

[@ChrisSuperDude]

I know you were doing a big regarding Demolition/Insane Clown Posse, but funny enough ICP are actually highly involved in wrestling they did a lot of stuff for WWF in the 90s, and even owning their own promotion: Juggalo Championship Wrestling.

[@ThatJunkman]

did not know

[@ScottAskins-t3n]

Hello Junkman😃

[@tperson8347]

I'm the same way, I didn't like boys trying to wrestle with me. I never really got into wrestling too much, but if I could at least get into the old stuff a little bit. I still can't get over Mr.T teaming up with Hulk Hogan in the ring. I caught myself really getting into it. I was legitimately excited about the match. It was a fun time. :) I had that thumb wrestler figure with the white shirt and the red knee pads. I have no idea where I got it. :) Thanks for the video

[@richardmcbride2220]

You should wrassel Pixel Dan 😂

[@ThatJunkman]

yes!

[@JohnSwindells-zm4sq]

I had a blow up doll that came in a brown paper bag and that squirted in my face.until I popped it with my cigarette and It went flying around the room.Great fun for all the family.Thanks Junkman.😅

[@TranceMasterJack]

She loved you.

[@keithpayne701]

I remember watching the WWF cartoon but I was never into wrestling. Only now do I watch the old matches, interviews and documentaries on KZbin.

[@opuscrap4322]

I still have my Hollywood Hulk Hogan Bashin' Brawlers wrestling buddy. (He needs a hot dog) Did Pickie Haggart become a wrestler?

[@DaBigCheeso]

WELL LEMME TELL YOU SOMETHING JUNKMAN! YOU NEED TO FEEL THE POWER OF HULKAMANIA FLOWING THROUGH YOUR VEINS, BROTHER!

[@michaelrussom6463]

I remember these as a kid. I thought they were cool, even though my dad explained to me that it's fake. I saw that chicks reaction to a wrestler in the highlander movie and I thought they must be cool. As amused as I was, I only had 1 or 2 figures. I'll pass on the spray figures 🤣🤣🤣. I did like slim jims and the commercials. If you ask me, teen boys have it good now with co-ed wrestling. But, that's just an opinion 😂😂😂😂😂😂🙊😭

[@peterparker6584]

All that wrestling merchandise and not a single Sergeant Slaughter insight?

I was waiting on the trampoline story😂

I figured I had told it before

[@2Face1209]

Enjoy the videos, can tell u were a star wars/ Hot wheels kid lol keep up the good work

[@rallyrobx7604]

I just saw they still sell wrestling buddies. As a forty-six year old man I find this silly and would never order one for myself. I definitely ordered the Ultimate Warrior buddy for my daughter. What do you mean she does not like wrestling?

[@Vexer-rl9fq]

The only reason I clicked on this video was hoping to get the chance at seeing Ric Flair's a$$. Thank you JM!
