A look at some truly bizarre and strange WWF, WWE and WCW bootleg wrestling merchandise thats been released over the years; Hulk Hogan action figures, John Cena T-Shirts, knock-off wrestling rings and loads more.
Also includes a look at official merchandise that's a little questionable (such as AJ Styles' TNA shirt, a Hornswoggle official finger ring and more)

Buff surprisingly looked decent. Had the black tights, hat and everything. RVD had a blonde mohawk and a blue singlet with the letters "SVD", so I just decided to call him "Sid Van Dam"

I thought it was so cool at first, but then Hulk Hogan's picture was in the bottom corner of every pic. I paid with my allowance to get that damn 110 film developed at Costco, only to see Hulk ruining my pics. I finally decided to take the thing apart and was able to remove that stupid slide.

    2:20 I HAD THAT CAMERA!! The Turtles one. Neither my mother nor my 6-year-old self expected it to have a randomly occurring, floating watermark added to every photo (as in, it never stayed in one place - I notoriously remember one appearing right on top of somebody's face.) There turned out to be a bypass/workaround that removed the watermark and just made it a regular camera with a cool design (which I then used for several more years), but yeah...that first roll of film was almost completely spoiled by the gimmick.

    My favorite authentic action figures were the ones that sweat, from WWF around 2000 or 2001. You fill them with water, push a button, and the water gets squeezed out through little holes all over their bodies. Such a weird gimmick. But what was better was the sculpts. Every wrestler was super jacked up with huge bulging muscles and big popping veins, and they were all posed in this sort of standing squat with their arms reaching out and their faces comically enraged. It looked like they were dropping some extremely painful poops.

I always buy them if they're cheap enough just for a good laugh. Last summer i came across an original Hasbro Hulk & Ultimate warrior figures that i had as a kid and they were still in the box for $1 each, i couldn't get my money out fast enough..some figures are funny but some remind me so much of my childhood. Good stuff man.

    In 1991 or 92 I bought a Bootleg T-Shirt from The Undertaker on a Fair. He had RED Gloves on that instead Gray but I didn´t care. I bought that Knock-off because a Official Licenced T-Shirt was too Expensive for me back then. On the next Fair my Father bought my little Brother an Official Marty Jannetty T-Shirt. Man was I jealous! Not because it had Marty on it, it was because it was Official. My little Brother knew that and Boy, that little Fu***r wore it with Pride in Front of me. 😂

    @13:55 That is a Baltard head, or at least a modified derivative. Baltard is a character from the Galaxy Warriors toy line, which was a knock-off of He-Man toys and Frank Frazetta artwork. The information about Galaxy Warriors is a massive rabbit hole in the world of bootleg toys, as not only were the figures repeatedly recycled into into different releases and even entirely different genres (like wrestling figures), they also ended up being bootlegged by others. If you think it is a weird head design, the original Baltard was apparently copied from Frank Frazetta's (does a quick Google search) "The Swamp Demon".
