For years, wrestling fans have debated which was the best mullet of all time worn by a wrestler. I hereby nominate Colorado Kid, an indy worker from the 1990s pictured here. Please help us with a caption and also nominate anyone else who has a better mullet.

We need a caption for this photo. We also want you to guess which wrestler it is. It was a national wrestler with a major promotion in the late 1980s. He was part of a famous tag team and had a famous manager. Not all blurry photos are funny, but something about this always cracked me up, so I'm sharing here at the Potato. Please click on link below photo to add your comment and guess as to who this is...

We really don't know what to say about what this is. It picks up at 1:50 when a wrestler apparently imitating a tree (!?!) comes out to wrestle. Only pictures do this video justice. [Thanks to Kim Hoffman[
Last night I attended the WWE show in Minneapolis, Minn. at Target Center and, much to my surprise, Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, and Mick Foley were mingling with fans in the concourse near my seat. It was quite a juxtaposition that while they were posing for photos, about 30 feet away there was a guy in handcuffs surrounded by a half dozen police and security officers just outside the men's room after a fight which included splattered blood.
If you are at a wrestling event and can snap pictures of interesting fans - dressed up, dressed down, with great home made signs, or anything that makes a picture of them worth sharing - send them to us pwpotato@gmail.com. Click on the link below the pic to comment on this photo.
PWPotato Krazy Neko submitted this video from PWG where Kenny Omega challenged Bryan Danielson (Daniel Bryan) to "the spot that never ends." Omega also finds out Bryan's actual real name, and it's neither Daniel nor Bryan. The crowd breaks into song after they hear his real name. It's all part of a definite match strategy in the end. If you find a video on YouTube that is worthy of a Potato embed, send it to pwpotato@gmail.com. Click on the "continue reading" link below to comment.
I saw this at http://www.WrestlingRecall.com and I had to share it here as it fits. It's "The Most Illegal I've Ever Seen in a Wrestling Match." It's farcical, but pretty funny, too, I think. If you see a funny wrestling video (new or old), send it along to us at pwpotato@gmail.com and we'll share it with everyone. To comment on this video, click on this link: [CONTINUE READING]
