I remember when *Hollywood* Hulk Hogan stood in the ring and declared *Santa with Muscles is blowing away everybody at the box office. One of my fondest memories of WCW.
As a matter of fact, like the New Generation Project Podcast said in their review, Flair should've been playing Ebner Frost, with the scientists being played by Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, and Barry Windham.
No idea why, but I fucking lost it at the Ric Flair cereal bit and the cow with the long hair. xD Awesome video Brian. the stuff with Puppet's pretty interesting too.
Ive been rewatching all of your older videos recently and they age very well, i love this video just as much as i did when it came out. I miss puppet though his channel was deleted by youtube in like 2017 and he never got his channel back
9:24 "Ric Flair turning up right now would save this film!" - Stewart Brookes, the New Generation Project Podcast Also, I would love to see a remake of this by WWE Studios, with Tomaso Ciampa as Blake, Adam Cole as Frost, and Roderick Strong, Kyle O'Reilly, Bobby Fisch, and Taynara Conti as Frost's scientist goons. Just saying.
17:47 Human Cartoon Zane!! I laughed so hard I scared my cat. Keep up the amazing work my friend. Can't wait for the one with Goldberg... already setting up the rope in the tree...not gonna survive that one
I bought the "Wrestlecrap" book and this movie was described in detail. I nearly died reading the description cuz I was laughing so hard I couldn't catch my breath. I eventually got the movie, watched it, and gave it a "meh" review. It was not nearly as insane as I had read.
I can't get over that the voice actor for Alistair from Dragon Age is in this movie. I remember feeling like my mind was blown back when Spoony reviewed this ages ago.
In fairness the movie did deliver on its title...we got a Santa with muscles... 🤷♂ The ending with Adam was brilliant (perfect hammy movie villain accent)! 😆
Let's all appreciate Brian and Puppet's self-sacrifice to give us this review. I almost lost all joy for life watching this, imagine those two... Thanks Brian!
*hears California Christmastime during the credits* DAMN IT, BRIAN! *involuntarily begins hopping in place while waving my arms about* "Ca-li-for-nia Christ-mas-time is just a gol-den state of mind! Chestnuts roasting in the bright sunliiii-" oh God why is this song so FUCKING CATCHY!?!?! D,X
+Wrestling With Wregret Brian, is it fair to say that almost every movie that Hulk Hogan has been featured or headlined in absolutely sucked? 'No Holds Barred', 'Suburban Commando', 'Mr. Nanny', 'Thunder in Paradise', 'Santa With Muscles'... you see where going with this, right? Hogan is a better wrestler than he is an actor, and even that's a stretch at the best of times!
lol I thought they were all good except Santa With Muscles...but I was a kid when I watched them. I mean, if you were looking for them to be something award worthy,then idk what to tell you. It was a silly action comedy starring a wrestler in the 90s in most of them. Those kind of movies were big hits at that time. A lot of them don't hold up today as "good" with that definition,...but that's also like saying that the special effects in the original King Kong suck because you're comparing them to today.It was a different time.
Japanese submarine slammed 2 torpedoes into our side, we were coming back from the island of Tinian, we’d just delivered the bomb. 1100 men went into the water. Vessel went down in 12 minutes. Didn’t see the first shark for about a half-hour. Tiger. 13-footer. You know how you know that in the water? You can tell by looking from the dorsal to the tail. What we didn’t know, was that our bomb mission was so secret, no distress signal had been sent. They didn’t even list us overdue for a week. Very first light, sharks come cruisin’, so we formed ourselves into tight groups and the idea was the shark come to the nearest man, that man he starts poundin’ and hollerin’ and sometimes that shark he go away… but sometimes he wouldn’t go away, sometimes that shark looks right at ya. Right into your eyes. And the thing about a shark is he’s got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll’s eyes. When he comes at ya, he doesn’t even seem to be livin’… ’til he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then… ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin’. The ocean turns red, and despite all your poundin’ and your hollerin’ those sharks come in and… they rip you to pieces. You know by the end of that first dawn, lost 100 men. I don’t know how many sharks there were, maybe a thousand. I do know how many men, they averaged six an hour. Thursday mornin’, I bumped into a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland. Baseball player. I thought he was asleep. I reached over to wake him up. He bobbed up, down in the water, he was like a kinda top. Upended. Well, he’d been bitten in half below the waist. At noon on the fifth day, a Lockheed Ventura swung in low and spotted us and a few hours later a big ol’ fat PBY come down and started to pick us up. You know that was the time I was most frightened. Waitin’ for my turn. I’ll never put on a lifejacket again. So, 1100 men went into the water. 316 men come out, the sharks took the rest, June the 29th, 1945. Anyway, we delivered the bomb.
Holy shit! Hulk is so thin in this movie! And he must be one of the few men who look older with hair. The other one would be Bruce Willis, but I didn't want to mention them both in the same sentence.
The people in this film with small cameos was: Mila Kunis from Family Guy, Adam Wylie from All Dogs go to Heaven 2 and that's it, lastly Aria Curzon who was Ducky in the Land Before Time sequels. *hears IWC groans* Yeah I know right?
Here's a fun piece of trivia - the movie was executive produced by Jordan Belfort. Yes, the Wolf of Wall Street guy. So there's another better movie this can remind you of!
Little known fact - the script was written by Julian Raymond's wife Dory ( Julian Raymond signed ICP to Hollywood Records ) ICP Were scheduled to appear as two thugs in the movie. Shaggy 2 dope went to Jail and J was left on his own to finish the recording of the Great Milenko, thus the cameo never happened.
Pretty sure he's doing an impression of Rimmer from Red Dwarf when he gets infected with the holo-virus. My favorite episode and scene from the whole series BTW.
Man I thought the actor that played Dr. Blight was the same guy that played the manager in Spice World. I was wrong. After looking up the actor, Steve Valentine, I found he has done a lot of stuff. From movies, to games, and tons of TV this guy has been in everything. Good for him.
i'm sure i recognise the piece of music that plays when ed begley jr.'s character walks into frame wearing a hazmat suit @14:57, but i can't remember from where and it's driving me mad!
Watching Nitro on the Network and on 11th November 1996 Hogan tells us some more lies in his promo saying “Santa With Muscles is wiping everyone out at the box office. Francis Ford Copula and Steven Spielberg have been calling me and we’re going to number one for 8 to 10 to 12 weeks!” And I’m glad I don’t have a full bladder like I did when watching the previous weeks promo where Hogan declares that Santa With Muscles is gonna be top of the box office and I nearly legitimately pissed my pants because I laughed so much! I laughed at these comments too but not as hard as the previous weeks because him mentioning Santa With Muscles came out of the blue and this week I had an idea he might say something as Miss Elizabeth came out in a “Santa suit” (well her’s had a skirt you know the ones I mean). I just can get over him saying the movie is “wiping everyone out at the box office” and claiming 2 top directors want to work with him, but then again Hogan did say he once worked 400 days in a year (yes days not times)!
hmm no mention of hulk hogan trying to promote this movie in WCW which was kind of weird since he was a heel who tries to get fan to hate him. So why would people want to watch a movie he is in when they hate him??
I cracked up so hard when they cut to two scientists and say " science, science, science, science science ,science!" That was absolutely hilarious!
"That's a bullshit Christmas tree I'd haul that shit away too" lmao! Good one Puppet! 😂
I learned how to make a souffle from Mega Man 97.
+Corvo Attano This comment made me laugh way too much.
Souffle Man was my favorite Robot Master
capcoms best known mascot, the Blue Bonnet-- er, Bomber...
Mega Man teaches us so much and asks so little!
Mega Man taught me how to slide in 97 the first year I played it
I remember when *Hollywood* Hulk Hogan stood in the ring and declared *Santa with Muscles is blowing away everybody at the box office. One of my fondest memories of WCW.
He was right. I saw it in the theater. Loved it
Ric Flair milk. MOOOOOOOOOOO
MOOOOOOOOOOO
Mhoooooooooooooooooo
Ric Flair turning up for a quick cameo would've save this film.
High flyin, Pasteurizin, wheelin and dealin!
As a matter of fact, like the New Generation Project Podcast said in their review, Flair should've been playing Ebner Frost, with the scientists being played by Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, and Barry Windham.
No idea why, but I fucking lost it at the Ric Flair cereal bit and the cow with the long hair. xD Awesome video Brian. the stuff with Puppet's pretty interesting too.
Congratulations... You finally replaced "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" as my must watch holiday schlockfest...
Ive been rewatching all of your older videos recently and they age very well, i love this video just as much as i did when it came out. I miss puppet though his channel was deleted by youtube in like 2017 and he never got his channel back
I miss puppet too. He was great. It seems like losing the channel kind of destroyed his love for it.
Oh apparently Puppet now works for WWE, that's why the character hasn't been around.
@@medes5597wait what?
@@aztecwrrior1997 the guy who did puppet now works for wwe.
I am 4 years late....but this is everything I needed to see today!
'oh yes I lost the DVD cover...hang on' I died lolol
The scene with the little black kid, was hilarious... considering everything that has happened now. hahahaha
yeah that black kid was racist.
He's just racist to a point.
The puppet was great, made me laugh several times. Great Episode Brian!
He was cute we need more puppets on youtube.
That episode of That 70s Show featured a mere mortal version of Matt Hardy before he was BROKEN and Jeff before he became the OBSOLETE Brother Nero
Brother Foreman.....I KNEW you'd come!!!!
Dana Chappell wasn't a still over Ken Shamrock playing the wrestler that intimidates Red and Eric?
Dana Chappell Dwayne Johnston was also cast in the episode as his father Rocky Johnston.
puppet club 4 life !
Here we are again.
Your holiday reviews have become a yearly tradition for me.
A Christmas Story, Elf, Christmas Vacation, and this review.
The cop near the beginning of the movie is the mayors sidekick in How The Grinch Stole Christmas
Ron howard
Also the best ice cream man ever
Brian -
This was a GREAT episode. Really enjoyable. Thanks.
+Paul Kane Thank YOU!
Can't wait for the next one with Adam, thanks for everything
JonJon2627 dude, calm down
Mila Kunis was on the cast?!?!
it does say Mila Kunis right??!!
Yes she was the brunette kid.
Well, someone has to start somewhere. Kinda funny that as a kid, she went from this to Angelina Jolie's Gia. lol
psychedelikado Glad she survived this movie.
Hey, Jack Black's first noteworthy role was the Neverending Story 3. He somehow ended up being the one saving grace of that movie.
9:24 "Ric Flair turning up right now would save this film!" - Stewart Brookes, the New Generation Project Podcast

No Holds Barred movie review has been blocked.
Yes, I am aware. Hoping to re-upload it early next year! :)
Wrestling With Wregret good!
Jayraj Shelar NNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
kidhandsome64 he already has! It's in the RoadBlock review episode
FYI: Hogan wore that bad hair piece at Halloween Havoc '96 prior to and during his WCW World Heavyweight Title match against Macho Man Randy Savage.
you should do the Goldberg horror Christmas movie.
megaman exe watch to the end
JacobZion lol, I put the comment before I watched it fully.
megaman exe wait Goldbergs Jewish lol
Joe Mixon interesting
megaman exe I liked that movie as a kid
I knew that Puppet cameo was gonna lead somewhere and now here we are.
I bought the "Wrestlecrap" book and this movie was described in detail. I nearly died reading the description cuz I was laughing so hard I couldn't catch my breath. I eventually got the movie, watched it, and gave it a "meh" review. It was not nearly as insane as I had read.
I can't get over that the voice actor for Alistair from Dragon Age is in this movie. I remember feeling like my mind was blown back when Spoony reviewed this ages ago.
Sucks that puppet's channel is gone
rebuilding now on fb and Twitter should be back on Facebook soon
Wait how did his channel get deleted or something like that
I Believe He's Died His Fur Green, & He Goes By the Name Teddi Turnbuckle
Well Christmas IS a birthday party...
When Adam appeared at the end I just went "Oh no!"
xD He's great.
Heeey that Black Swan scene is pretty good
Yeah, but it's not the kind of thing you want to be thinking about when you're looking at a version of Mila Kunis before she even hit puberty.
Claude Gaudette that's where you're mistaken, sir
You sir need psychiatric help.
Steve A don't we all, friend?
Azure Kite Some of us more than others.
In fairness the movie did deliver on its title...we got a Santa with muscles... 🤷♂
The ending with Adam was brilliant (perfect hammy movie villain accent)! 😆
Love “California Christmastime” from Crazy Ex-Girlfriend for the credits!
Let's all appreciate Brian and Puppet's self-sacrifice to give us this review.
I almost lost all joy for life watching this, imagine those two...
Thanks Brian!
didn't santino marella do a shitty Christmas movie too?
Joe Mixon Yes a few years back but I can't remember the name of it. I know it had Larry The Cable Guy in it.
Joe Mixon I think it was Jingle All The Way 2.
Jingle all the way too: Electric Boogaloo.
No that's not it but adding break dancing couldn't have hurt
I can remember what it is lol. But I know I seen it.
You cant remember the name but it was crap......a regular yulelog of shit
17:57 Frost: "Hogan.....I am your father."
Hogan: "NOOOOOO!!!"
Man I love this channel Brain is always cross promoting with other Wrestling TH-cam channeled I can't wait for that Wrestlemania crossover.
The doctor does look quite like the late Rik Mayall.
Please keep Puppet around
wwfwrestlingfan4ever I think puppet is cringe
Breen Machine Face turn in the crock pot
cringeworthy. cringe is what you do.
What happened to Puppet?
He Dyed His Fur Green, & Became Teddi Turnbuckle
*hears California Christmastime during the credits* DAMN IT, BRIAN! *involuntarily begins hopping in place while waving my arms about* "Ca-li-for-nia Christ-mas-time is just a gol-den state of mind! Chestnuts roasting in the bright sunliiii-" oh God why is this song so FUCKING CATCHY!?!?! D,X
Did everyone just forget that Hogan was shooting at the police about 5 minutes before he was supposed to be the hero?
+Wrestling With Wregret Brian, is it fair to say that almost every movie that Hulk Hogan has been featured or headlined in absolutely sucked? 'No Holds Barred', 'Suburban Commando', 'Mr. Nanny', 'Thunder in Paradise', 'Santa With Muscles'... you see where going with this, right? Hogan is a better wrestler than he is an actor, and even that's a stretch at the best of times!
fidielio the rocky movie was ok. may have given hulk false visions of grandeur though.
lol I thought they were all good except Santa With Muscles...but I was a kid when I watched them. I mean, if you were looking for them to be something award worthy,then idk what to tell you. It was a silly action comedy starring a wrestler in the 90s in most of them. Those kind of movies were big hits at that time.

Once again, you have proved to me why your channel is worth subscribing to. Great work, Brian!
14:58 Whats the music?
Fantastic episode. One of your best so far. I was laughing the whole way through
I notice the really cool crazy ex girlfriend reference at the very end there, it really makes my day😂
Orphan child, millionaire, utility belt. This guy is Batman, everybody. Puppet rules 😂😂
When is Finn Balor going to make his movie: Satan with Muscles
Eddie Yi LMFAO
The Extraordinary Satan who can do Extraordinary things

I want a friendship like Hogan and Beefcake. Sad face emoji.
The bazooka part just killed me
8:40 I really thought you were going to say Mike Awesome already fits the spot lol
Holy shit! Hulk is so thin in this movie! And he must be one of the few men who look older with hair. The other one would be Bruce Willis, but I didn't want to mention them both in the same sentence.
1:57 - You mean to tell me that Mila Kunis couldn't even save this movie???
If you're not laughing at the Stranger Things reference at 15:01 you are souless
Pausing this so I can have a watch along with with these guys timing sometimes is Perfect
Great video. That Stranger Things music sting killed me. I was not expecting that. Very clever.
If Tommy Wiseau directed a Christmas movie.
Brian and Puppet had amazing chemistry.
Stranger things theme was chef’s kiss
Adam's Anthony Hopkins impression is pretty spot on
this was amazing hahaha puppet and Zane = best tag team! Then Blampied?!?! best video ever
Adam went straight Mystery Science 3000 on you lol
This just warms my heart, watching reviews on terrible acting during the holidays 🤣
The people in this film with small cameos was: Mila Kunis from Family Guy, Adam Wylie from All Dogs go to Heaven 2 and that's it, lastly Aria Curzon who was Ducky in the Land Before Time sequels.
*hears IWC groans*
Yeah I know right?
This was fantastic. thank you for fun video. I hope you review other crazy movies like this.
Is that hairpiece the same one he used as Dave Dragon in Three Ninjas!?
The exact one
Here's a fun piece of trivia - the movie was executive produced by Jordan Belfort. Yes, the Wolf of Wall Street guy.
So there's another better movie this can remind you of!
Lol at the Stranger Things theme when Frost walks in with the space suit
I remember watching this back in the day and was surprised that "Astounding Andy" from Night Stand was the evil scientist.
Found it 😊 Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Mr Zane, merry Christmas or happy Hanukkah 😚
Brutus Beefcake wanted to use his Booty Man gimmick in this but they didn't want him near Mila Kunis if he did.
Lmao I feel sorry that you had to watch that but this review had me dying of laughter
Little known fact - the script was written by Julian Raymond's wife Dory ( Julian Raymond signed ICP to Hollywood Records ) ICP Were scheduled to appear as two thugs in the movie. Shaggy 2 dope went to Jail and J was left on his own to finish the recording of the Great Milenko, thus the cameo never happened.
probably going to watch this tonight and be purely entertained to say the least hahaha
Adam took over the feed, static played before he appeared and he spoke in a strange way. Is Blampied broken now?
Pretty sure he's doing an impression of Rimmer from Red Dwarf when he gets infected with the holo-virus.
My favorite episode and scene from the whole series BTW.
Styles Bitchley oh, smeg.
Man I thought the actor that played Dr. Blight was the same guy that played the manager in Spice World. I was wrong. After looking up the actor, Steve Valentine, I found he has done a lot of stuff. From movies, to games, and tons of TV this guy has been in everything. Good for him.
Such a great episode.
do a top 8 or 10 of the worst christmas wrestling moments
I left a video midway on my favorite TH-cam channel to watch this....Does that mean W3 is my favorite TH-cam channel now?
Wait...is that Bob from That 70's Show?!
awesome video, I was honestly expecting the puppet to suck the humor out, but he was awesome!
I silently lost my shit when Santa's slay came on cannot wait
bruh I'm dead, they used a gingerbread house for a stunt double hahahahahah
Oh jeez! That's it, who's celebrating Hanukkah with me?
I think Hogan’s spiked hair he rocked in WCW was worse than the hair he had in this movie.
Hulk Hogan's hair always gets me for some reason especially when he had the rug on his head, it's like Bill Murray in Kingpin.
The Ric Flair cow is the funniest fucking thing I’ve ever seen. MOOOO!!
i'm sure i recognise the piece of music that plays when ed begley jr.'s character walks into frame wearing a hazmat suit @14:57, but i can't remember from where and it's driving me mad!
"slow cook that face turn in the crock pot" haha
This video always gets me in the Christmas spirit. Halloween Shmalloween!
Watching Nitro on the Network and on 11th November 1996 Hogan tells us some more lies in his promo saying “Santa With Muscles is wiping everyone out at the box office. Francis Ford Copula and Steven Spielberg have been calling me and we’re going to number one for 8 to 10 to 12 weeks!” And I’m glad I don’t have a full bladder like I did when watching the previous weeks promo where Hogan declares that Santa With Muscles is gonna be top of the box office and I nearly legitimately pissed my pants because I laughed so much! I laughed at these comments too but not as hard as the previous weeks because him mentioning Santa With Muscles came out of the blue and this week I had an idea he might say something as Miss Elizabeth came out in a “Santa suit” (well her’s had a skirt you know the ones I mean). I just can get over him saying the movie is “wiping everyone out at the box office” and claiming 2 top directors want to work with him, but then again Hogan did say he once worked 400 days in a year (yes days not times)!
nice review from you guys here. I'm not gonna lie, I'm looking forward to seeing a review of Santa's slay.
I was waiting this entire vid for somebody to reference Santa's Slay.
The ending payoff, baybay.
best...ending...ever!! you and Adam B. have such great comedic chemistry
hmm no mention of hulk hogan trying to promote this movie in WCW which was kind of weird since he was a heel who tries to get fan to hate him. So why would people want to watch a movie he is in when they hate him??
Brian Zane in 2016: 2016 is full of surprises.
2020-2022: Hold my beer!
0:52 Hogan looks like a weird Sean Connery rip off.
This might be my favorite of your videos.
5:55-6:00 is the funniest part of the video to me.
I miss Puppet 😢
