Calm down man, you was not doing any of that, you just wanna fit in with the commenters. Well i DON'T idc what ppl think about me. It didn't make me laugh that hard so enough of the exaggeration from you and the 30 others!💯👇🏼Now
My wife was looking at me like like I was some kind of lunatic as I was cackling to this video. Tears were literally coming from my eyes. Please do this again
I remember when I was kid, I bought one of those 4-pack bootleg mini-wrestler sets. I don't remember 2 of them but the other 2 were knock-off Buff Bagwell and RVD figures. 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 honestly hope that whenever we see someone get stretchered out during Reliving the War in the future, Bios now simply says that the promotion "Gave First-Aid a Bed".
2:15, Holy hell,I had that camera! I was 8 and it was my first camera (bought at the Sears Outlet Store, so clearly not in high demand). 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. You brought back memories with this vid!
1. That was legitimately god damn hilarious 2. Please for the love of god make more of these videos! 3. I want that fighting puppet and I’m going to find it
God I love bootlegs. Sometimes they're good for a laugh, and other times they're genuine quality (like my statue of Mecha Frieza) would genuinely be interested in seeing more of this in a part 2 or more!
My dad had the hogan camera and the only reason I know is because he used it the day I got baptized. One hell of a way to remember a moment with an image of the hulkster imprinted into the bottom right corner.
I totally called the Jericho doll. Sometimes I just... know... things. Also, that 25 Cent Man is just magical... the scraggly facial hair, the broken look in his eyes, the knee holes, the untucked shirt piece, the jacket that looks like he sold his sleeves for wine. I want one.
Ohh Lordy. I remember so many bootleg video games from like Nintendo cartridges back in the day, I kind of hope this video covers a few. Thanks for the videos and the run through the fields of nostalgia. 13:25 Looks like Hogan's missing finger could be a 'shocker' of a tale to tell. 15:05 It's discount Jim Duggan.. HooOoOoO!
I always go to garage sales in the summer, every once in awhile i'll come across some wrestling figures with some bootlegs mixed in. 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.
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.
@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".
Somewhat off topic...the saddest sight is going to the "toy" section at a Rite-Aid. I'll always see 2-3 WWF action figures that you know have been sitting there for a few years.
1:15 'The Incredible Fella' AKA The Irish Hulk. Also, we're looking at bootleg wrestling figures, and Bios resides in the British Isles...yet resident cheap-bootleg-figure expert Dr. Ashens is nowhere to be seen. (Seriously, a collab between these two over Poundland wrestling figures would MELT MY BRAIN.)
Same, I see a lot of bootleg action figures from dodgy toy stalls, as a kid I loved the WWE Micro Aggression figures and there's some companies that keep releasing their own type with a new ring set and new accessories and I love them.
omfg i loved it. part 2, 3, and 4 plse. Maybe even make it a series showing everything you can eventually. i know i'd watch them all. the commentary with everything just makes it so much better. tyvm for the vids
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. 😂
That Ultimate Warrior bootleg figure at the start actually copies the classic Jakks bone-crunching action Warrior figure's head. And that Hollywood Hogan steals the old Hasbro Adam Bomb noggin.
I wish I would have bought those IWC bootlegs when they were in stores. They are an officially unproduced WWF Hasbro series. When Hall and Nash left, on top of the lines declining sales, titansport abandoned the line but the factory decided to release them independently.
On the plus side, some of these bootleg figures make for great reference if one wishes to make some fictional wrestlers for a future wrestling video game
I would give just about anything to be a fly on the wall to hear your initial, first impressions. The shrieks, the laughter, the profanities must be absolutely hysterical!😅
I have the Steve Austin garden gnome. I ordered the Rock gnome too, but when my package came in the mail I received a note in the box saying that The Rock gnome was out of stock and my card had been refunded. I think I paid $3 each when they were on a clearance sale on WWE shop. The Austin gnome is still on my back patio 11 years later. 😂
Wrestling Bios and the humorous comments he incorporated into this video is Amazing.. Please post another one of these if you could it would be much appreciated..
Totally had a friend that owned the vibrating Giant action figure growing up. He might of had the Hollywood Hogan one too. I definitely remember the Giant though.
DUDE! PLEASE MAKE MORE OF THESE!!!! I nearly whizzed my pants at your reactions to these 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
im in tears
Chris benoit's face...
@@sick_rich i lost it at that
@sick_rich that was pretty epic, but then again so was the entire video
@ozzmosis6544 I was crying and had to pause, great video!
The WCW vibrators killed me 😂😂😂
I imagined a teenage boy assuming his big sister must be into wrestling, since she keeps borrowing his action figures.
Lmfao I had Giant and Hogan and my prima loved 2 play wit them now I get why dam..
The WTFness of it lol
@@paulgibbon5991some girls probably actually did that before.😂
No wonder they took em off the market you know why?😂
Absolutely 1000% need a part 2, 3 and 4 based on this.
I had to pause on more than one occasion cus I was laughing so hard. Actual crying laughing 😂
Dude I laughed so hard at this, your delivery on each item is spot on. You’ve got a new series on your hands here.
Calm down man, you was not doing any of that, you just wanna fit in with the commenters. Well i DON'T idc what ppl think about me. It didn't make me laugh that hard so enough of the exaggeration from you and the 30 others!💯👇🏼Now
I would love to see more! This is pure gold!
My wife was looking at me like like I was some kind of lunatic as I was cackling to this video. Tears were literally coming from my eyes. Please do this again
You mean your Wom?

Rob's long lost brother?
Nice!
the incredible fella 😂🤣
The best one 😂
😂😂
Which is just a custom card for a real Hulk figure.
Don't make me happy you would like me when I'm happy the incredible fella 😂
Looks like the Rock, Brock Lesnar and the Jolly Green Giant had a love child and spit that guy out
That jose lothario shirt is absolute GOLD!!
I honestly hope that whenever we see someone get stretchered out during Reliving the War in the future, Bios now simply says that the promotion "Gave First-Aid a Bed".
"A $50 Hornswoggle ring" is one of the funniest wrestling things I've heard all year 😂. Wrestling can be shot TF out sometimes
Who the F* would buy that??
The 50$ World Heavyweight Championship one looked fantastic though.
@@J0nny_Ch1mp0 a hornswoggle
Fanatic or die hard fan.

3. I want that fighting puppet and I’m going to find it
that puppet is actually oddly common, the sucky part is they're almost always broken when they do show up
I would love for someone to ask for HHH to sign that action figure box with the handle bar mustache 😂
OMG! As a kid my mate legit had that "OGO" Hogan knock-off figure! 😂😂
When youre OGO
Youre OGO 4 LIFE
That's not Hogan that's dereck Logan.😂
Why is big bossman so sad though?😂
Hogan would bury Ogo brother 😂😂
@@Chuck_EL lol.
The John Xina dress really got me. Gold!
3:56 Okay the Sable and Mero one is incredible. Mero’s eyes are trying to escape his head! 😂
Something out of Celebrity Deathmatch!

Bossman looking all sad like his wife
Then left em.😂
If you ever decide to do this for hours, I'll be watching.
Absolutely "top class" stuff.
I hurt my stomach laughing at this stuff. You gotta do more!
9:25 SUNGOLD!!! And that's unmistakably the Galaxy Warriors body sculpt! GALAXY HOLE CROSSOVER CONFIRMED!!! QUICK, GET PHELOUS IN HERE!!!
Ohh Lordy. I remember so many bootleg video games from like Nintendo cartridges back in the day, I kind of hope this video covers a few.
Thanks for the videos and the run through the fields of nostalgia.

15:05 It's discount Jim Duggan.. HooOoOoO!
I wonder if it was the finger poke of doom finger and it just exploded from the force of the poke 🤔
They still do those handhelds today
At Walmart with nes games.
And why is bossman so depressed?😂
This definitely needs part 2. This was hilarious 😂

That Stone Cold giving the stunner on the Razor Ramon figure looked like the Toxic Avenger.
I think we can all agree "the incredible fella" belongs in Wrestling Bios own hall of fame . .. amazing 😄😄
That was made by Obvious Plant, who makes a lot of hilarious stuff and posts them on Instagram and Facebook.

I absolutely require a second video on this. This was too funny.
my intial thought is they were attacked by a Werewolf befor Steve Blackman came in to destroy it.
That Ahmed figurine looks like an unused New Jack concept
We need more of these, both for bootlegs and for official merch.
Imagine trying to explain those t shirts to non fans😂
I would buy these Knock Offs just to show this actually existed
This was a super fun video! I'd love more of this stuff!
Somewhat off topic...the saddest sight is going to the "toy" section at a Rite-Aid. I'll always see 2-3 WWF action figures that you know have been sitting there for a few years.
OMG thanks for the laugh man. Was having a rough day.
I don't think I've ever laughed this much at a UA-cam video. Your one-liners were amazing!!!
I remember a lot of these figures in cheaper dollar type stores. Luckily I was too young to care about how cheap they were
Bootleg merchandise? That doesn't work for me, brother...
Ah! I remember the OGO. The original goof order. Darn. Almost forgot about them.
13:21 In other words Hogan & Warrior's match at Halloween Havoc 1998.
1:15 'The Incredible Fella' AKA The Irish Hulk.
Also, we're looking at bootleg wrestling figures, and Bios resides in the British Isles...yet resident cheap-bootleg-figure expert Dr. Ashens is nowhere to be seen.
(Seriously, a collab between these two over Poundland wrestling figures would MELT MY BRAIN.)
The bootlegs are cheap but the commentary is PRICELESS!! 🤣🤣🤣
9:38 You can't catch me, brother. I'm the Gingerbread Dude!
Laughed seeing The Incredible Fella in the intro, but then I went down a rabbit hole and learned about what Obvious Plant actually is.
Keep the content coming man ! I appreciate you tons
Same, I see a lot of bootleg action figures from dodgy toy stalls, as a kid I loved the WWE Micro Aggression figures and there's some companies that keep releasing their own type with a new ring set and new accessories and I love them.
Big Show and Undertaker fought on an episode of ECW for the ECW title when Show was champ, so that shirt made kind of sense at 6:03.
A bit surprised by how few Macho Man figurines there were. I believe I only saw one in this video.
Omg my face is hurting from laughter 🤣🤣🤣 Plus you're commentary is awsome!
omfg i loved it. part 2, 3, and 4 plse. Maybe even make it a series showing everything you can eventually. i know i'd watch them all. the commentary with everything just makes it so much better. tyvm for the vids
Embarrassing! Not a single action figure with chin lock action
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. 😂
That big boss man at the end looks like Walter from Big Lebowski.
Honestly this could be a terrific and terrifying series I would love to see more
*Robert Cop* (Robocop) should be on this list.
Classic knock-off, and still part of WWE canon.
You’re getting way funnier, brother!
Hope this develops into its own series! Don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard 😂
That Ultimate Warrior bootleg figure at the start actually copies the classic Jakks bone-crunching action Warrior figure's head. And that Hollywood Hogan steals the old Hasbro Adam Bomb noggin.
Remember that time you said "we don't want CM Punk". And then he returned to a huge pop anyway?
That was awesome
I wish I would have bought those IWC bootlegs when they were in stores. They are an officially unproduced WWF Hasbro series. When Hall and Nash left, on top of the lines declining sales, titansport abandoned the line but the factory decided to release them independently.
i found some these in a store in texas like a john cena tna puzzle and other products their still selling them here in texas
Blackpool was the place to go for knock offs.
Aquatic S.T.O.M.P. Owen is the absolute worst thing ever. It's like the one action figure I absolutely could not tell who it was supposed to be
It's like going back in time to Dollar Stores and seeing their knockoffs knowing who they were mocking
I could watch a series like this all day. Your stuff always makes me laugh Bios, but this was next level comedy. Well done. 😂
Thanks I wasn't expecting to laugh this hard at midnight 🤣
10:47
No joke, I have that exact same bootleg Razor figure! I remember buying it from Dollar General, when I was a kid. Still have it to this day! 😂
On the plus side, some of these bootleg figures make for great reference if one wishes to make some fictional wrestlers for a future wrestling video game
It’s 1:37am and I’ve got tears rolling down my face, this is hilarious
LMFAO!!! I lost it at the end with the “Hogan just got home from the Bar two-pack” 😂😂😂😂 I’m still laughing. Hilarious.
Sting looked constipated on that face paint package. 😂😅😂
One of your funniest videos to date. Had me laughing in tears. Your descriptions and reactions were excellent. Hope you make another episode sometime.
Took me an hour to watch this cuz of delirious laughter. Thank you.
With the bootleg action figures, you can make jobbers or new stars out of them.
sorry watching this and my boy points at one of the figures 'I want this for Christmas'😂😢
I would give just about anything to be a fly on the wall to hear your initial, first impressions. The shrieks, the laughter, the profanities must be absolutely hysterical!😅
I would wear a Bret screwed Bret shirt.
Stone Cold 2000. That’s just Jeff Jarrett and Vince Russo.
This is hilarious. If you decide to do more of these, I am 100% onboard.
My favorite was seeing Robocop knockoffs at dollar stores back in the day, called "Robertcop."
I have the Steve Austin garden gnome. I ordered the Rock gnome too, but when my package came in the mail I received a note in the box saying that The Rock gnome was out of stock and my card had been refunded. I think I paid $3 each when they were on a clearance sale on WWE shop. The Austin gnome is still on my back patio 11 years later. 😂
4:51 You know the moms were buying those toys for themselves
I don't know what is more janky, the original wrestling merchandise or the knockoffs.
Couldn't stop laughing through this mate! Please make more
Wrestling Bios and the humorous comments he incorporated into this video is Amazing.. Please post another one of these if you could it would be much appreciated..
Now we get to the good part. Growing up my folks bought me bootleg wrestler as a kid and theres a few that got me laughing thinking about it
We want part two!!!
@@icharneboeses1899You beat me to it 😆
As others have said, DO MORE OF THESE......this was amazing...funny and informative!
I’m disappointed the Shawn Michaels bootleg shirt doesn’t have “Tell ‘em Tri!” on it
Bro I DEFINITELY had that vibrating Luger and Giant as a kid, as well that STOMP aquatic Rock hahaha.
I let out a powered maniac bellow watching this.
We need a part 2 bro the hidden references from your commentary and ofc the figures made me laugh so ducking hard 😂
I love the gnomes, can I still get one? 😂
This is great
I'm literally gasping for air laughing so much
Totally had a friend that owned the vibrating Giant action figure growing up. He might of had the Hollywood Hogan one too. I definitely remember the Giant though.
The Andre the Giant figure at the end was less 'Andre' and more 'El Nombre.'
I love bootlegs too, DBZ and StreetFighter figures from Mexico in particular! 🤘
