June 13, 20187 yr comment_5853041 The episode of Quantum Leap where Sam jumped into a wrestler from the 50s where it was either implied or stated that title matches were shoots. Also had Terry Funk guest starring too.
June 13, 20187 yr comment_5853046 Not sure if Wendy's should be a positive example when we talk about non-cringeworthy social media engagement. I mean, corporate profiles behaving like real people and cracking jokes (Wendy's and IHOB's debate about burgers comes to mind) is somewhat disturbing. Netflix does the same, and the Brazilian branch has this ultra-woke approach to twitter that sometimes is ultra embarassing. They are really smug for unpaid interns. Random Question: what is the best "wrestling themed" episode of a TV show? The Its Always Sunny episode with Piper pops into my head right off the bat. Obviously Vader on Boy meets world is classic. I saw that Always Sunny episode three or four times before I realized that the guy Da Maniac is wrestling at the beginning is Don Frye. Yep its the Sunny episode. Or the Family Matters where Carl and Urkel fight the Bushwhackers, who start shooting when they find out Carl is a cop.
June 13, 20187 yr comment_5853047 I like the episode of Ren & Stimpy where Mad Dog Hoek and Killer Kadoogan wrestle the Lout Brothers. Stimpy cuts a money promo at the end of the episode.
June 13, 20187 yr comment_5853050 I like the episode of Ren & Stimpy where Mad Dog Hoek and Killer Kadoogan wrestle the Lout Brothers. Stimpy cuts a money promo at the end of the episode. Love this episode. If I ever wrestled it would be as Killer Kadoogan.

June 14, 20187 yr comment_5853063 The first Piper episode of It's Always Sunny was a blast, but I always got a kick out of the Futurama episode where Bender joined the Ultimate Robot Fighting League. Bender adopting a Gorgeous George gimmick and going by "Gender Bender" was great, but The Foreigner was just the fucking best. "I'm not from here! I have my own customs! Look at my craaaaaazy passport!" *nuclear heat ensues*
June 14, 20187 yr comment_5853066 Also from the animation division, King of the Hill S01E22 "Bobby Slam". Bobby tries out for wrestling under the mistaken belief it will be like what he sees on television. When he and best friend Connie must face off for the last spot on the team (Khan: "Take old playmate down hard and fast"), they avoid any hurt feelings by having a worked match with chair shots, airplane spins, etc.
June 14, 20187 yr comment_5853067 Always Sunny, Ren & Stimpy, Futurama...all great choices. None of them touch South Park's exploration of redneck theatre.
June 14, 20187 yr comment_5853068 The south park episode when the kids start their own promotion and run it like its the theater and are wildly successful is pretty great too.
June 14, 20187 yr comment_5853069 Always Sunny, Ren & Stimpy, Futurama...all great choices. None of them touch South Park's exploration of redneck theatre. Beat me to it... I just remembered that when I saw someone mention King of the Hill. That episode was brilliant.
June 14, 20187 yr comment_5853127 That 70s Show with Ken Shamrock wearing an afro and the Rock portraying his father. Ernie Ladd got a cameo.
June 14, 20187 yr comment_5853139 There was a Three Stooges where Curly had to replace a wrestler who looked like Action Bronson. I don't know if it was good, but it was something.
June 14, 20187 yr comment_5853144 That 70s Show with Ken Shamrock wearing an afro and the Rock portraying his father. Ernie Ladd got a cameo.That's one of a handful of episodes where Red and Eric bond. It also triggered my nerdom when it aired because of the territorial lines.
June 14, 20187 yr comment_5853173 The South Park wrestling episode is hilarious. Nothing has ever summed up the Attitude Era better.
June 15, 20187 yr comment_5853278 Sometimes I watch these old shows and all I can do is look at how dirty the mat is and be horrified.
June 15, 20187 yr comment_5853296 Bubbles from Trailer Park Boys as Trailer park wrestler The Green Bastard was fun too.
