Sting 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.

Classic Video of the Week: Do the Urkel

Posted: August 12, 2011 by Keith Stone in Steve Urkel, videos

When I was in high school, we always had rooftop parties where people spontaneously broke out into choreographed dances. My father, Carl Winslow, was a cop in Chicago and also starred in Die Hard. OK, none of that is true but I can honestly remember watching this episode of Family Matters and trying to mimic all the dance steps.

Kids today don’t realize how popular Steve Urkel was back then. I could watch Urkel break stuff all day. In fact, I can’t remember another TV character as popular since then and yet Urkel and Family Matters still feels forgotten. It was a great, funny show with heart, at least for the first few seasons until it got too gimmicky.

And I hope Jaleel White still has a ton of money and got a ton of ass. The kid is talented. He deserves it. And he can ball, even when he’s wearing suspenders.

The 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?

This week, we celebrate Bubba Smith, who passed away at the age of 66. The former #1 overall NFL draft pick and Super Bowl Champion is possibly most well-known for playing the gentle giant Hightower in the Police Academy movies. You might like Mahoney or the guy that made sound effects with his mouth better, but you can’t discount what Hightower brought to the table. Here he is scaring a few Citizens on Patrol, including a young David Spade, and a special bonus video just because I felt like it.

Vince 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.

Next week, Eastbound & Down Season 2 comes out on DVD. Kenny Fucking Powers may in fact be the greatest character in TV history. He has the cock of a python and the mind of a scientist. Kenny was also recently named the motherfucking CEO of K-Swiss. Here is his story plus a bonus video courtesy of Ashley Shaeffer BMW. Stevie Janowski ain’t so bad either.

CM Punk beat John Cena this Sunday to win the WWF Title as he rode out into the sunset. I’m not sure if he’s coming back but for the past month Punk has made wrestling more compelling than it’s been for a while. Here he is winning his first Title, as Mr. Money in the Bank cashed in his opportunity right after Edge took a beating from Batista.

They don’t make TV shows like Fresh Prince of Bel-Air anymore. While the Carlton Dance is immortal, the Apache Dance is underrated. When Will and Carlton go to Las Vegas to become men, Carlton becomes addicted to gambling and loses all his money. The only way the boys can afford to make it home is by entering a talent show. Enter Will the Thrill and Boogaloo Shrimp.

John Cena has been taking shots at his WrestleMania XXVIII opponent The Rock over the past couple of weeks. Well, the Rock noticed and released a video in which he tore Cena to shreds for everything from being a hypocrite to having lame fans. It’s classic Rock. Nobody can incorporate “bloated transvestite Wonder Woman” into a rant better than he can. It also looks like he’s coming back to Madison Square Garden, where he had his first match, for Survivor Series. This feud is really getting personal. As Jim Ross would say, “Business is about to start picking up.”

The ESPY’s are this week. It’s an underrated event and there’s always one or two seriously funny moments. In 2008, Tiger Woods won the ESPY for Best Male Athlete. His acceptance speech was given by an unexpected proxy.
