Best mention of Wrestling...

[Guest kingkamala]

I was just listening Weezer-El Scorcho and they say something like"Watching Johnny Grunge give New Jack a leg drop through a table" I of course marked out. What are some other cool mentions of wrestling in mainstream media.

[Guest eiker_ir]

i was watching dismissed.......................................................................

..............................................................

 

 

and there was this guy who kept saying stuff like "Wooooooo!", "if ya smeeeeeeeeeeelll what the rock is cookin'!". "and thats the bottom line cuz i said so....", "i'm a 60 minute man and something more"(did flair said this, i'm not sure)

 

 

i'm done

[Guest WrestlingDeacon]

Anything about being a 60 minute man is Flair.

 

One time on Space Ghost Coast to Coast they had Randy Savage playing his grandfather. Zorack was talking trash on him and he said, "I'm going to whip you like Wahoo McDaniels in a cage match."

[Guest razazteca]

real world or road rules had a alcoholic wrestling mark that would get drunk and refer to himself in the 3rd person like THE ROCK

 

Redman & Methodman made a video with a wrestling in it.

Goddamn...as many times as I've listened to that song, I've never noticed that before. Both wrestlers in question suck, but that's pretty cool.

What? That's the best part of the song. Besides, of course, from the opening, 'Goddamn you half-Japanese girls'. I love that.

Not to sound like a dick (okay, I completely want to sound like a dick), but the exact line is "Watchin' Grunge leg drop New Jack through a press-table". I hear Rivers was an ECW-mark back in the day.

 

As for best wrestling mentions. I remember during this kids-game show up here in Canada called "Uh-Oh" on YTV, this kid did the Buff Bagwell 'skipping and swinging arms' dance as he celebrated. Funny stuff.

[Guest Will Scarlet]

The other day I was flipping through the channels and came upon some French movie. There was guy in a hospital bed or something, and he was watching wrestling on tv. I cannot remember who was wrestling. I want to say Owen Hart and the Godwinns, but I cannot remember. Anyway, they are going through a rather serious scene(I think.) in the movie, and in the background you can hear Jim Ross going all "This is a slobberknocker! BAH GAWD!" and his usual mannerisms. I just found it pretty funny.

One of the better ones is from Natural Born Killers.

 

Rodney Dangerfield is watching wrestling (Tatanka vs. some jobber from about 93) and is yelling for the jobber to kick the damn injin's ass (or something to that effect, probably with more obscenities).

 

And there's always Big Daddy where the little kid tells the court that Adam Sandler tought him how to do the sleeper like Chief Jay Strongbow.

[Guest Spaceman Spiff]

From Newsradio (might not be the exact quotes)

 

Dave: "Bill's writing a book about his life"

Jimmy: "Oh, like that really big guy. what's his name?"

Dave: "Andre the Giant?"

Jimmy: "No, the one that's not dead."

Dave: "Hulk Hogan?"

Jimmy: "That's the one!"

[Guest Jack Tunney]

Back in the day on "Salute Your Shorts" there was an episode where Donkey Lips and Sponge were training for a wrestling tournament.Then Budnick says something like,"that isnt wrestling,wrestling is Sgt. Slaughter vs. The Atomic Werewolf".

 

And there was this SNL skit where Jim Breuer was imitating Ric Flair.(I think it was Jim).

[Guest The Superstar]

On TMNT II, when Rhezar and Tokka appear one of the turtles says "Hey, didn't we see them on Wrestlemania?" or something to that effect.

[Guest DawnBTVS]

Malcolm in the Middle's intro has Bret Hart putting a guy in the sharpshooter

[Guest DerangedHermit]

And there was this SNL skit where Jim Breuer was imitating Ric Flair.(I think it was Jim).

Unfortunately, it was Chris Kattan....

[Guest bob_barron]

The Ric Flair impression was awful but Farley was a hoot as El Nino.

 

El Nino is Spanish for...the Nino!!

[Guest dpac]

that guy is chris benoit

[Guest DerangedHermit]

The Ric Flair impression was awful but Farley was a hoot as El Nino.

 

El Nino is Spanish for...the Nino!!

That is why Kattan should be shot, and why Farley wasn't COMPLETELY horrible.

 

Speaking of other wrestling and SNL stuff (within the past few years)...the Hulk Hogan Show (on the Anthony Edwards episode from '96). That kicked ass.

[Guest IDrinkRatsMilk]

once on Full House, Kimmy Gibbler said she had tickets to Wrestlemania 6. she also said it was in Cleveland, and this was around 93 or 94, so not totally accurate

[Guest Jericholic82]

Actually that Real World wrestling mark, is actually tarining to be a wrestler with UPW as we speak, I belive he has worled a few shows already.

 

BTW, "The Hulk Hogan Show" was hilarious.

 

El Nino challenging Ric Flair, need I say more

 

My fav was "El Asso Wipo" on MadTV.

[cawthon777 0]

That was Breur, not Kattan.

[Guest Ravenbomb]

Groundhogs Day, Murray gives the engaged couple wm tickets, unfortunately, given the year it was probably WM9

 

ICP has tons of them (powerbombs into thumbtacks, Yokozuna splash, etc.)

 

Hey Arnold, helga said 'it's not everyday *forgotten name* wrestles Haystacks Calhoon!'

 

Boy Meets World had quite a few

[Guest Incandenza]

The B-side of the new Talib Kweli single, "Waitin' for the DJ," is called "Guerilla Monsoon Rap."

[Guest Midnight Express83]

There been alot of rap songs with wrestlers talked about....

But Ghostface wins with carrying the Big Gold Belt in his videos.

 

Second coolest is me at this Pizza joint next to my job and they had the TV on some Italian channel RIA International. They were coving "football" on the news and they showed a guy doing the spinaroonie after a goal.

 

BTW:cawthon777 shrink your damn sig. It is fucking annoying moving everything to the fucking right to read.

[Guest Special K]

ICP's best wrestling tidbit is in 'Santa is a Fat Bitch' The whole song during the chorus, after they rap a line it is repeated in a very high faint voice in the background. Except for once, where it says "ooooo..... my UNDERtaker" in perfect Bearer voice. It's easy to miss, but really funny.

 

From what I've heard, hardcore rappers seem to love Lex Luger.

[Guest Incandenza]

If only we could convince gang members to drop the gats and start using the Torture Rack.

[Guest Special K]

Suddenly the image of a video where they all start singalling for the torture rack cracked me up.

[Guest Incandenza]

Think of the drop in inner city violence! Instead of gunshot victims, we'd have a bunch of guys with sore ribs.

[Guest Special K]

There would be a huge rise in motorcycle accidents though, as people would try to get the metal plate of death in their forearms.

[Guest kingkamala]

Anyone remember the episode of Boy Meets World where Corey gets to manage Vader in his match against Jake Roberts but forgets to go to Topanga's 16th birthday party, oh the hilarity. Anyway this match between Roberts and Vader that they were showing was I think King of the Ring 96 cause Jake Roberts got no offense in.

Big Pun in his song "It's So Hard" has one of the greatest lines I've ever heard:

 

"Iced out like DiBiase."

 

That is SOOOOOOOOOOO sick...
