[1991-03-10-WWF-Wrestling Challenge] Gene Okerlund and The Bushwhackers at Toys 'R' Us

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

The Bushwhackers are pretty damn annoying, so this was the worst of them all.

You knew we would eventually get a Bushwacker skit at Toys R Us.

Okerlund is still utterly without shame. The Bushwhackers are the first babyfaces at Toys R Us not to treat Mean Gene like dirt, which I guess is nice. Just as we can't pin WCW's Omni fetish on Bill Watts, we can't blame The Rock for bullying fellow babyface announcers.

Butch is trying to find a Luke squirt head. I’m not familiar with squirt head toys. Luke, hiding in the toys, squirts Gene in the eyes. Too bad it wasn’t acid.

Pretty annoying but still good hyping of the merchandise. I wonder how many Hulk Hogan autographs there really were in the stores.

[garretta]

This would have been better if the Bushwhackers had been a bit quieter, but if they had been they wouldn't have been the Bushwhackers.

 

I wondered why Gene was holding the side of his neck until he pulled Luke off of the shelf. Those squirt heads must have been awfully small, because I never saw what Luke was doing; I just kind of guessed that he was squirting Gene with them (why else would they be promoting squirt heads otherwise?)

 

Mean Gene doing at least a partial Bushwhacker Bounce is a sight every wrestling fan should see once before he or she dies.
