And I've added little blurbs about the people featured on the radio show. Here's what I've got...
For the purpose of WCR kayfabe, they are not referred to as "characters" here, but as real people.
---
The show features an assortment of weekly correspondents. The current regular cycle of correspondents are:
*"Angry" Jim Ross - Famed commentator Jim Ross calls up each week and always appears to be angry about something. This would either an event of that week's wrestling programming and/or his dissatisfaction with his sex life.
*Mike Check - The show's current TNA correspondent, Mike Check is a middle-aged radio DJ who rambles on about events of his radio career and treats the show as an actual radio station (WWCR The "Whacker"), even segueing into music tracks that RD and Blade regularly express their displeasure at.
*Sir Alec Heineken - A dignified British gentleman, saddled with the unfortunate task of presenting the Fan Fiction Theatre segment, which featured stories that would be the polar opposite of dignified.
---
I would like some help with the detailing of all the original characters and impressions in the history of the show. It can be our little project.
And I'm aware of the WrestleCrap Wiki that keeps track of the radio show history. But this is for the official Wikipedia page.

Is it blocked from editing? Last time I checked it was blocked because of some vandal going around saying that Wrestlecrap is a website about Fruity Pebbles or something.

Using kayfabe on wikipedia is a bad idea. I'm only using kayfabe here. The Wikipedia page will display the truth in all it's kayfabe-busting glory. Is it blocked from editing? Last time I checked it was blocked because of some vandal going around saying that Wrestlecrap is a website about Fruity Pebbles or something. You have to be a registered user. That's how I was able to do it. OK. I've added a blurb about Stubby. --- *Stubby - A foul-mouthed ventriloquist's dummy. A former TNA correspondant, Stubby is one of the few people to have survived their tenure in that role, although he was badly burned and assumed dead for weeks after an attempted murder by Mrs. Deal. --- |

Will BM Punk or the Ratings Reaper get any love? No no, we need Huey! Yes. That man's voice and evil laugh used to terrify young Blade. His WCR workrate is questionable though. He seems to only want to work during the fall. I'm gonna demand he "bring it" during this week's episode. |

At the moment, I'm just putting the current regular roster of guests (Angry J.R., Mike Check, Sir Alec Heineken and Stubby) and impressions. Laugh track details and other characters will come later on.
EDIT: I've edited the recurring joke section slightly. Here's the new version (work in progress)...
---
=== Recurring jokes ===
* The TNA correspendent - A recurring joke on the radio show in recent times has been the consecutive deaths of the program's line of fictional [[Total Nonstop Action Wrestling|TNA]] correspondents, a position filled by everything from robots to ventriloquist dummies, and even a TNA super fan. The current TNA correspondent is radio DJ Mike Check.
* Trolla-brand products - This recurring joke refers to the use of fictional Trolla brand technology for the various segments on the show. This includes the Fax-Trolla for Obscure Wrestling News, the Horse-Trolla for Mickie James and Francine news, and the Draft-Trolla for the yearly WrestleCrap draft show. The brand's "origins" can be traced back to the late 80's where a lost episode featuring a "teenage" RD and Blade had them using a faulty Hulk-Trolla.

Come on guys, help a brother out. I can't do this on my own forever.

OK, here's what the WrestleCrap Radio section looks like at the moment... (I'm breaking WCR kayfabe here. It's just too hard to keep it straight): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WrestleCrap#WrestleCrap_Radio--- WrestleCrap Radio: In August 2005, WrestleCrap introduced a podcast called WrestleCrap Radio. Typically Reynolds and columnist Blade Braxton discuss their personal lives, make jokes that may or may not relate to current wrestling (or wrestling at all), and rarely discuss news items from the wrestling industry. On occasion interviews with guests from within the wrestling industry are broadcast such as their interviews with Vince Russo and Lance Storm. Recurring gags: *The ad copy - Introduced by the ghost of Lord Alfred Hayes (a soundbite of Hayes saying "Promotional consideration paid for by the following"), this gag refers to the humourous ad copy often sent to WrestleCrap by one of the show's sponsors, AngryMarks.com. A recent version has had RD read the ad copy as Jeff Foxworthy. *The laugh track (and other soundbites) - This refers to the soundbites used on the show, depending on what RD is appropriate for the situation. If he finds a joke particularly funny, he will play a soundbite of Krankor from the Japanese series Planet Prince. If he finds that a joke is particularly poor, he will play a soundbite of either chirping crickets or a modified version of the fail sound from The Price Is Right. If he finds that a joke is particular dirty, RD will start playing generic porn music. Other soundbites on the show have included Weird Al Yankovic, Stewie Griffin, Susan St. James, Alex Wright and the theme from Crue Ball. *The 12 listeners - This refers to RD and Blade's assumption that due to the quality of the show, the show only has 12 regular listeners. This is also used as the secondary punchline of an obscure joke RD and Blade might have made (eg. "Of the 12 listeners who listen to this show, about half of one got that joke!"). *www.obscurereference.com, I bet that's not taken! - One such gag, www.bignippledvampire.com (referring to former ECW and TNA wrestler Shelly Martinez), has actually become a real website, although it's still under construction as of this time. *The TNA correspendent - A recurring gag on the radio show in recent times has been the consecutive deaths of the program's line of fictional TNA correspondents, a position filled by everything from robots to ventriloquist dummies, and even a TNA super fan. The current TNA correspondent is radio DJ Mike Check. *Trolla-brand products - This recurring joke refers to the use of fictional Trolla brand technology for the various segments on the show. This includes the Fax-Trolla for Obscure Wrestling News, the Horse-Trolla for Mickie James and Francine news, and the Draft-Trolla for the yearly WrestleCrap draft show. The brand's "origins" can be traced back to the late 80's where a lost episode featuring a "teenage" RD and Blade had them using a faulty Hulk-Trolla. The show features an assortment of impressions and original characters created by RD and Blade. The current regular cycle of characters are: *"Angry" Jim Ross (Blade Braxton) - An impression of famed commentator Jim Ross, in which the running gag is that he is always angry about something. This would either an event of that week's wrestling programming or yet another running gag, his dissatisfaction with his sex life. *Mike Check (RD Reynolds) - The show's current TNA correspondent, Mike Check is a middle-aged radio DJ who rambles on about events of his radio career and treats the show as an actual radio station (WWCR The "Whacker"), even segueing into music tracks that RD and Blade regularly express their displeasure at. *Sir Alec Heineken (Blade Braxton) - A dignified British gentleman, saddled with the unfortunate task of presenting the Fan Fiction Theatre segment, which features stories that would be described as the polar opposite of dignified. *Stubby (Blade Braxton) - A foul-mouthed ventriloquist's dummy. A former TNA correspondent, Stubby is one of the few people to have survived their tenure in that role, although he was badly burned and assumed dead for weeks after an attempted murder by Mrs. Deal. Unlike the other characters on the show, Stubby is actually real, as there are several photos at the WrestleCrap website of Blade posing with a ventriloquist dummy. Impressions featured on the show have included Bill Cosby, Jeff Foxworthy, Miss Elizabeth and Dixie Carter. --- I will add more gags and older (deceased or otherwise) characters as I go through nearly 4 years worth of podcasts (pf which I've downloaded every single one). |

Fixed.
Today, I've added the current segment lineup, and added The April Fools Show to the Recurring Gags section.

BOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! They took away half my work!
They've left only the shows segments listed.
Here was what I was going to put on the page, until the Wiki Nazis deleted most of it...
---
Lee Marshall (Harry Simon) - An impression of former AWA, WCW and WWF ring announcer Lee Marshall, the character is portrayed as being oblivious to the demise of WCW, and believes that he is still presenting 1800-COLLECT Road Reports from a local Nitro party. This character has only appeared on the 2006 and 2007 April Fools show.
John Thomas (Harry Simon) - A representative of fictional credit card company Chase Meridian MasterCharge, who is attempting to collect overdue credit card payments from Braxton, often relating to pornography purchases. A running gag whenever he appears on the show is that he mispronounces Braxton's surname as "Brakes-town".
Scott Epstein (Derek Burgan) - A no-nonsense attorney, who in his only appearance on the show threatened to sue WrestleCrap on behalf of Sonny Onoo, who felt he was being discriminated against on racial grounds by virtue of not being inducted on the website.
Nathaniel Edward Rodham-Davis (RD Reynolds) - A nerdy TNA superfan, he was a former TNA correspondent. Nathaniel would speak in an extremely fast and squeaky voice and annoy Reynolds and Braxton to such an extent that they would often hang up on him during his segment. He was murdered by Mega-Trolla on the 2008 Christmas episode.

And find out the identity of DJ Q-Tip, or whoever that guy was at the first 2009 show.

Wiki hates information on its pages, it has to be as useless and general as possible.
