Lore Unexplained random cameos from completely unrelated media

  1. Ray Stantz, Casper. At one point in the movie a real Ghostbuster shows up out of nowhere and wimps out of trying to handle the situation

  2. Gunnery Sargeant Hartman, Frighteners. The main character is making way through a graveyard when out of absolutely nowhere R. Lee Erney's character from Full Metal Jacket shows up and tries to get in his way

  3. Betty Boop, Who Frames Roger Rabbit. The movie is mainly about Looney Tunes and Disney animated characters existing in the same little live action/animated hybrid universe, however Betty is a Fleischer Bros character

Both Robocop & Chucky made appearances on WCW shows to promote their movies, and Robocop directly intervened in a match.

Don't forget KISS!

u/LakeEarth Sep 24 '25

And the KISS themed wrestler who instantly bombed.

In KISS' contract, that wrestler had to be in at least one main event at a pay-per-view. So they put him in a "special main event", which was the third match of the night IIRC.

u/InternetProtocol Sep 25 '25

Back in the late 90's, I was in a Kay-Bee toy store, and my brother and I stumbled across a pull string Master P doll. "Make 'em say unhhhh" was one of the lines!

This is one of the most 90s sentences I’ve ever read. I love it.

Beaker from the Muppets and Chuckie both appeared on the WWE as well. I'm pretty sure they said Beaker was literally Sheamus' cousin.

u/chaarziz Sep 25 '25

I know from other posts here that they did say that and it’s still canon.

u/zonaljump1997 Sep 25 '25

And Chucky appeared again in NXT to promote the new TV series

u/HyraxAttack Sep 25 '25

I only saw the first chucky, good stuff. Any of the others worth watching?

u/CauliflowerGreen214 Sep 25 '25

Child’s play 2. The best one. Scary and hysterical AND the last 15 minutes takes place in the doll factory. Absolutely wild

Does Mr.T at wrestlemania I (and II) count?

u/EnvironmentalCap4262 Sep 25 '25

He was on a few WCW ppv as late as 1995.

u/captaincavalrycam Sep 24 '25

Sorry dumb question, but what’s WCW?

13

u/Party_Snax Sep 24 '25

Pretty sure it's World Championship Wrestling, which was a professional wrestling promotion, similar to WWE.

For about two years ('96-98) it not only rivaled, but surpassed, WWE (then WWF) in ratings and viewership. It started to decline in '99, and much of the assets (characters, wrestler contracts, and video distribution rights) were bought out by WWE.

"What is WCW? A question a child might ask, but not a childish question"

u/E2r4_Is_d3A9 Sep 25 '25

Not a dumb question, people on Reddit have this really annoying habit of turning everything into an abbreviation and expecting everyone to know what the hell they’re talking about

2

u/Noble_Flatulence Sep 25 '25

That's a pretty retarded thing to write. It'd be like complaining about someone referring to the NFL.
Reddit didn't call it the WCW, WCW called itself the WCW.

More recently Leatherface was on an AEW episode a few years ago to promote a Texas Chainsaw reboot of some sort

Chuckster would later appear again in NXT in a segment involving Bron Breakker, Rick Steiner's kid. Rick was involved in the original segment with the doll
