Unlicensed wrestler homages in other media

Also if you're into old school 2-D fighting games, there's a chance at this point you know about MUGEN, which is an open source engine where people take characters from basically every fighting game ever and put them in a blender. It's a pretty neat hobbyist game/program but you do have to put work into it because you have to download all the characters, stages etc yourself.

 

Someone did a CM Punk in that. I actually haven't seen too many other wrestlers done in that which is, in a way, pretty surprising.

Don't know where else to put this, but it occurred to me while watching MX Express & Ernie Ladd vs RnR Express & Duggan from Mid-South.

 

I really hope Will Ferrell's character in Talladega Nights is named after Ricky Morton and Bobby Eaton. I'm just going to assume that it is.

More to do with being a NASCAR thing than a 'rasslin thing though.

 

I mean using your logic Ricky Bobby could be for Ricky Steamboat & Bobby Heenan just as easily. ;)

Stony logic. Let me have my pipe dreams. :)

 

And Ricky Morton/Bobby Eaton are about 50,000 times more Southern than Steamboat and Heenan.

Reading this thread for the first time, and I find all the Tiger Mask ripoffs to be especially hilarious, considering that TM was a live-action adaptation of a cartoon character in the first place.

 

 

HOWever:

 

Alex (Street Fighter): Hulk Hogan

What, this guy is supposed to be Hogan?

I don't see it, at all. He looks more like a blonde Rambo than anything else.
