I can't remember if it was an episode of Power Rangers in Space or Turbo, but Carlos was playing the WWF Superstars arcade game at the youth center.

And just as I read this thread, I click onto a Cracked article about celebrities with embarrassing second careers that namechecks Hulk Hogan's pasta restaurant (reasonable), then Hacksaw Jim Duggan, and then has an entire entry dedicated to a loans company Ric Flair leant his image to.

Los Angeles Angels have been playing "Time to Play The Game" when their closer comes out Triple H's theme song has been getting fairly popular as of late in sports. I know the New Jersey Devils were using it as their opening song during the playoffs this year and I've heard other baseball players use it as well. I think Travis Hafner might have used it like 5 years ago(I know he's a big wrestling fan). I might have heard it during this year's NBA playoffs as well.

One of the main characters of "Kokoro Connect" (an anime airing this season) is a huge professional wrestling fan. One of his articles for his club's paper is on the history of the brainbuster. Their clubroom (at school) even has a poster of the Undertaker.
I instantly fell in love with this anime.

The Nickelodeon show "My Brother and Me" had a lot of wrestling references, including one episode that opens with Dee Dee and his friends watching a WCW show circa 1993. Yeah, it's a tag match with Harlem Heat versus either Stars & Stripes or a squash match against some jobbers. I can't remember which. You can also clearly hear Jesse Ventura on commentary in what you see of that match (I believe this is all from the episode "Dee Dee's Haircut"). Also in one episode their sports reporter dad reminisces about covering a "battlle of the figure-four leg locks" match between "Nature Boy" Ric Flair and Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, which makes sense since the show is based in North Carolina so he could've covered matches the Crocketts ran in whatever the local arena would be (would sports sections of papers still cover pro wrestling by the time the '80s rolled around?). After this years NBA Finals SportsCenter did a "Top 10 Big 3's" and among the list you'd find the usual suspects, The Miami Heat, "Murderers Row" from the New York Yankees, the Big 3 from The Boston Celtics from the '80s, the Big 3 from the Boston Celtics that won the 2008 NBA Title, etc. But one unexpected "Big 3" they mentioned was Hogan, Hall, and Nash from the nWo. They were either in the top 10 or an "honorable mention".

In one episode of Supernatural, a character dressed up as a luchador, and referenced Andre the Giant.

I love the Thanksgiving episode of cheers where they guys don't want to eat until the football game is over and Diane catches them watching wrestling. Then they promptly change it back to football. It's been a while since I've seen it but I think it was a WWF Hogan match.
I saw Jay Mohr do stand up this past weekend and he mentioned a time he took acid with a buddy and his buddy was playing a wrestling tape where the good guys always won so they wouldn't get bummed out.

I was at a minor league baseball game in 2007 when catcher Francisco Cervelli used Stone Cold Steve Austin's theme music as his walk-up song. A few years later when he debuted with the Yankees, I remembered him as "the Stone Cold guy."
MLB Network's Sean Casey (an admitted huge wrestling fan) clotheslined two guys and mentioned bodyslams and suplexes when demonstrating a fight for a home run ball.
Family Guy made a Randy Savage reference during one of its cutaway scenes. They also made a joke about the famed "Andre the Giant" portrait.
Full House made two surprising references to the WWF, including one where Kimmy claimed to have declined tickets to WrestleMania so she could celebrate her birthday with D.J.

In that annoying new KFC commercial with the old guy and the teenager arguing over mashed potatoes and gravy vs. mac and cheese, the old guy decides to start the fight with a waist lock, which the kid deftly countered with a headlock in a reversal right out of Smackdown vs. Raw, and it ends up with the old guy putting the kid in a shitty Boston Crab that looks like when Jericho puts on the Walls and lets the guy get to the ropes.

"Psych" is chock full of references. In addition to Cena, Miz and Mickie James guest starring in episodes, the characters have name dropped Koko B. Ware, Nikolai Volkoff, the Iron Shiek, JYD, Duggan and Iron Mike Sharpe. Plus there was one episode where Shawn and Gus were watching the Royal Rumble.

Watching HIMYM, they talk about Ted's facetious ex and show a flashback of her saying she was only joking about getting WMIII tickets, and then cuts to Marshall dressed as the Ultimate Warrior, saying he was too, then Lily bursts in as Hacksaw. Was a little out of the blue! Let's not forget Jason Segal's hilarious turn as Andre The Giant on SNL!
