There is a diaper commercial from the early 2000s with babies crawling around and "The Power" by Snap is playing. Notably the "it's getting, it's getting, its getting kinda heavy" part. My wife mentioned this to me years ago and wanted me to find it. I vaguely remember it, but we cannot find evidence of it outside of a couple old message board posts with people off-hand referencing it from 15 years or more ago.

Am I the only one who lived most of my life thinking Gangrel was a European Champion at some point? Because that seed was in my head for the longest time. I'm trying to remember if Smackdown on the PS1 had him as the default European champion, but I think it may have. That'd explain it, if so. I read the original post about how I could have sworn Gangrel was Euro champ and I was like yeah me too. Then I thought maybe that memory was from a PS1 game, then I scrolled down and saw your post But I'm still not sure if that was the case, could be a double Mandela Effect.

My wife has said she appreciates all nerdy aspects of my life, except wrestling. Probably because he first thing she watched with me WWE-wise was that Orton/Wyatt match at Wrestlemania where the pictures of grubs and stuff kept being projected on the mat. She said "I don't get it. Why did that happen? Aren't they just supposed to be fighting? This isn't believable, This is stupid. You are smart, why are you into this?". I had no good explanation in that moment.

My wife, who is 11 years younger than me had no idea the Osbournes was ever a thing. That being said, she is a big hard rock fan and only knows his music. I remember when the Osbournes show was so huge, at least around where I was at the time, there were lots of people that only knew him from that or maybe had heard in the press that he bit the head off of a bat, but didn't know much about his music.

Couple of memories sparked from seeing these: -My cousin was at my house when we were 4-5 years old and had his Rambo action figure. We were watching TV and he had Rambo's head in his mouth the whole time we were watching TV and the black paint of Rambo's hair came off. He started bawling because Rambo was now kinda bald, so my mom took a sharpie and colored back in the hair. About 10 minutes later we were watching TV some more and he had Rambo's head in his mouth again and Rambo got bald again and now my cousin had sharpie all over his tongue. -Seeing the police academy one, I had a few of those and on this one, whose pants fall down and you see his underwear, my other cousin thought it'd be funny to drawn brown marker on his butt area which I never could fully get off:

"Wrestlemania: the Musical" MAKE THIS HAPPEN! I had to post this one, and may update from time to time. I think a Battle Royale or a PPV is happening? The big, red machine Kane applied the clamps to Shane McMahon's testicles. The clamps were also attached to a car battery. Shane was handcuffed and defenseless against the crowd. He was bleeding and shouting, "F**k No!" 1) *Ken Norton Jr. pulls Randy Orton's hair* 2) *Spud breaks off Vince McMahon's rib* 3) Ric Flair flips Shawn Michaels out of the ring while holding him 4) Hogan hits Lex Luger, giving Flair his greatest victory 5) Edge performs the Rough Ryder tag in between HHH's consecutive pinning and using the motion of the pin to drop HHH from the top rope 6) HBK evades a Death Valley Slam that leads to an incredible fall from high above the ring 7) Rey Mysterio sits atop the nWo roof, holding his Magnum 8) HBK explodes into the crowd of over 10,000 New Zealanders, jumping into the crowd at high speed and hopping around in the air, performing a high flying double leg to the ring 9) The Undertaker goes crazy as he delivers a low blow 1) Rey Mysterio comes out for a ring dive, stabbing the crowd and high fiving fans, the slow motion video is part of a promotion called Hard Knock 2) Rey Mysterio springs 3) Man Mountain Rock 1) He cracks a giant dent into the ring and immediately calls the time 2) The Undertaker tries to powerbomb and eat a bite out of Undertaker's nuts but the hit is I would love to see this. Some reason thinking of Rey springing off the top rope and just a random cut away to Man Mountain Rock just standing there before cutting back to the ring having a crack in it just makes me laugh.

As immature as Vince is in his 70s I can't imagine how obnoxious he must have been in high school.

Even though it was set 20 years before my high school years, it is the closest I ever saw my high school friends and life depicted on TV.
I've got a question for you...do you want to be Stud or a Super Stud?

I kinda think its weird that I go to flea markets and thrift stores all the time and NEVER see any 80s-early 90s Coliseum Home Videos. If I do see VHS tapes its usually the late 90s Stone Cold comps or DX or PPVs circa 2001-02 like Invasion.

The crowd organically on their own decides that it really enjoys doing a funny dance to Fandango's music, so WWE gets 60ish, un-hip, company man Jerry Lawler to get in the ring to try and try to non-organically get the crowd to "do the Fandango" and kills it dead.

Real Life directed by Albert Brooks. Made 20+ years before reality TV really took off and parodied it to a tee.

As someone who consumed as much wrestling as possible in the 90s. I swear he wrestled on every other episode of Main Event, WCW Prime and Worldwide. Hate to hear of his passing.

I thought that since Jimmy Hart managed so many Canadians (Harts, Rougeaus, Mountie, Quake, Bravo), he must be Canadian himself (I guess I forgot about the Mouth of the South nickname). Also, not me, but a friend of mine was convinced Howard Finkel was a former wrestler due to the "fink" nickname. I was the same about Fink. I thought everyone involved in wrestling had been a wrestler. I thought Mean Gene was called that because he had been a bad guy wrestler in the old days. I also used to think any time one wrestler was in a movie or TV show then there would be a lot of wrestlers in that movie/show. Probably because I would watch Thunder in Paradise and there always seemed to be other wrestlers than Hulk on there. I thought Keith David must have been some old wrestler I had never heard of when I saw They Live.

Not a movie, but the most uncomfortable thing I remember as a teen was watching Whose Line Is It Anyway? With my mom, who is very puritanical to say the least, and we were both enjoying the episode and laughing together which usually didn't happen since any offensive thing would have her telling me to change the channel. Anyway, there was the game with Colin Mochrie in front of the green screen doing a news report, but this time it was just sexy women in bikinis coming in and out of the water. It seemed to go on forever while I just knew she was going to be mad and say I shouldn't be watching that. She actually didn't tell me to turn it off or anything, she just got up and left and never said anything. But the whole time they were showing that I was holding my breath and probably blushing.

I can probably count on one hand the number of times my wife and I wanted to watch a specific movie and actually found it free to stream. Especially if you want to watch a specific holiday movie around a holiday. Oh, the crappy sequels of whichever movie are always there, but never the one we actually want to watch. I'll never stop buying physical media for that very reason.

Yes, I had some, I never wanted to mess them up, so I didn't scratch them, which ruined the whole reason for having them.
