Considering his minimal role in the WWF, Goldust has had his share of memorable moments over the years. In this clip, the Bizarre One is attacked by Randy Orton and Batista for not giving the whereabouts of Scott Steiner. Not content with merely beating the shit out of him, the Evolution duo threw Goldy into some stray electrical equipment at ringside. The equipment was only there for that one show. Go figure. Goldust survived but somehow developed a hilarious case of Tourette’s syndrome from the encounter. Not surprisingly, this isn’t the only time there’s been a questionable plot point in the WWF.

Wrestling Video of the Week: Goldust’s Shocking Development

This week we have a very special guest host for the Wrestling Video of the Week. No, not Bob Barker, ZZ Top, or former WCW Champion David Arquette. It’s our old friend, Naitch. Take it away, brother:
This week’s classic wrestling video is none other than the introduction of the bad guy, Razor Ramon. From the moment Vince McMahon says, “We take you now to a Cuban immigrant,” you knew it would be epic. But then, Mr. Hall lowered the boom, telling kids not to go to school, pointing out his slick threads and shiny bling, and then flicking a toothpick into our living rooms for the very first time, chico. In his second appearance, he showed us just how tough he really is by stealing a plum from a fruit stand. Speaking of food, where can I get one of those ice cream bars?
Wrestling Video of the Week: Um, What?
Posted: September 16, 2011 by Keith Stone in Slobberknocker, Ultimate Warrior, Undertaker, videos, wrestling, WWF
Here’s a promo featuring six of the weirdest characters in wrestling history. The Berzerker, who used to be known as the Viking and still looks and acts like a viking, and Papa Shango, who would go on to be the greatest pimp in wrestling history, are somehow buddies being managed by Mr. Fuji. Fuji, in his stereotypical tuxedo, finds the affair so entertaining that he can’t help but laugh maniacally the entire time. If that’s not enough, you have the absolutely insane Ultimate Warrior growling and making faces being paired up with the Undertaker while Paul Bearer looms ominously. If anyone can figure out what anyone is saying in this, lemme know.
Wrestling Video of the Week: Hogan-Ultimate Warrior Contract Signing
Posted: September 8, 2011 by Keith Stone in Hulk Hogan, Slobberknocker, Ultimate Warrior, videos, wrestling, WWF“The positive light of the training, the prayers, and the vitamins will prove at Wrestlemania VI that Hulkamania is still the strongest force in the universe.”
Remember the gold old days? When contract signings were done in board rooms instead of in the middle of the ring and ended with a face-off instead of somebody getting hit with the table? WWF President Jack Tunney masterfully presided over the contract signing for the main event at Wrestlemania VI between Hulk Hogan and the Ultimate Warrior. It’s a good thing both parties got dressed up for the occasion and had their lawyers take a look at the contract beforehand. I especially like Warrior’s leather jacket and face paint ensemble. Could there be a worse job in the world than being his lawyer? I don’t think so.
Wrestling Video of the Week: Count Him, Dammit!
Posted: September 2, 2011 by Keith Stone in Good Old JR, Mick Foley, Slobberknocker, Stone Cold Steve Austin, videos, wrestling, WWFThis is the height of wrestling. You start with the WWF’s preeminent personality, Stone Cold Steve Austin. Throw in a little Mick Foley doing his Dude Love thing with a giant stain on his ass. The Undertaker is inexplicably standing at ringside doing nothing until he slams some 80-year-old dudes through the announce tables (ay caramba). Vince McMahon is jacked up on ‘roids as the referee, yet he refuses to give Stone Cold the three-count. And the icing on the cake, as always, is Jim Ross’s impassioned play-by-play. It’s not wrestling if J.R. isn’t calling things. I wish he announced my life:
“Keith Stone crossing the street. AND HE WAS ALMOST HIT BY A BIKE! GOOD LORD, WHAT WAS HE THINKING!? BUSINESS IS ABOUT TO PICK UP!”
Let’s take a look out how ludicrous and awesome the ending is. First, the Dudester hits McMahon in the face with a steel chair even though they’re allies. A sanctioned referee enters the ring to fill in for McMahon and is interfered with by McMahon’s crony, Pat Patterson. Then, Patterson and Gerald Brisco, who theoretically have about as much authority as me trying to call a foul on LeBron James from the crowd, try to count the pin.
That doesn’t even come close to the most ridiculous part of it all. When the Undertaker says adios to the stooges, Stone Cold earns the victory by using McMahon’s own unconscious hand for the 1-2-3. Can you imagine if the Giants scored six points because Brandon Jacobs knocked out Ed Hochuli and raised his arms to signal a touchdown? Oh, I love wrestling.
Wrestling Video of the Week: The Miz Wins the WWF Title
Posted: August 26, 2011 by Keith Stone in Challenge Week, Slobberknocker, The Miz, videos, wrestling, WWFBefore he was WWF Champion The Miz, he was Challenge Champion Mike Mizanin, winner of Battle of the Seasons and The Inferno II. Who would have thought that he would go on to be in the main event at WrestleMania? It still pales in comparison to competing against Jeremy in the candle-holding Inferno.
Wrestling Video of the Week: Great Ovation For RoboCop
Posted: August 21, 2011 by Keith Stone in Robocop, Slobberknocker, videos, WCW, wrestlingI have no idea what’s going on here. I would say RoboCop’s stint in WCW was the most bizarre ever, but I don’t want to disrespect David Arquette and Jay Leno. RoboCop might not even be the best part of this video. First, you have Sid in a tuxedo for some reason, which is great. Kudos to Sid for making the Wrestling Video of the Week for two weeks in a row. But how about a young JR with some solid play-by-play throughout the whole escapade? I felt Sting’s pain as he was trapped in the cage but when his friend RoboCop rescued him, my soul smiled. That’s all good old JR.
Wrestling Video of the Week: The Shockmaster
Posted: August 12, 2011 by Keith Stone in Shockmaster, Slobberknocker, videos, WCWSting and the British Bulldog needed a partner for their upcoming 6-man tag team match. The wanted somebody who would shock the world and, oh boy, he did. Forget the fact that Shockmaster looks like a gay stormtrooper for a sec. That may be the most inauspicious entrance since the Mets lost 120 games in their first season. The guy can’t even break through the wall without falling. How’s he going to beat Sid? The best part may be when the stormtrooper helmet falls off and he puts it right back on like nothing happened. Also, great job by Flair talking shit in the background.
Wrestling Video of the Week: Ted DiBiase Basketball
Posted: August 5, 2011 by Keith Stone in Slobberknocker, Ted DiBiase, videos, wrestling, WWFThe Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase is a generous guy. He even offered to give this young man $500 if he could dribble a basketball 15 times. Sounds easy enough until DiBiase kicks the ball away. The poor kid looks so disappointed. Even more disappointed is probably his mom in the background. Could’ve bought a lot of groceries with that money. Also, I could never tell if having Virgil as a manservant was racist. Anybody know?
Wrestling Video of the Week: Mr. McMahon Wins the Royal Rumble
Posted: July 31, 2011 by Keith Stone in Slobberknocker, Stone Cold Steve Austin, videos, Vince McMahon, wrestling, WWFVince McMahon spent weeks training for the 1999 Royal Rumble. After being beaten all over the Arrowhead Pond including the bathroom, yes the bathroom, Mr. McMahon emerged at the announce table. When his nemesis Stone Cold Steve Austin was left standing as the final competitor, it was McMahon vs. Austin for the umpteenth time but Mr. McMahon had the Corporate Champion on his side.
