Before we get into this video, I just want to mention that these are cartoons that are
not affiliated with the WWE but have featured WWE wrestlers with their voices so no Camp
WWE or Hulk Hogan’s Rock ‘n’ Wrestling. With that all clear, here are “5 WWE Wrestlers
Who Appeared In Cartoons”.
“Listen up maggots!” Sgt. Slaughter became the first real-life personality to feature
as a character in the animated series, G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero. The loud-mouthed
American badass is described as the “toughest of all the Joes” and is depicted as having
superhuman strength and endurance. In fact, in one episode he was able to fend off dozens
of Cobra troopers just by himself. Slaughter’s character was first introduced in the episode,
“Arise Serpentor Arise, Part 1”, and he served as a drill instructor, just like he
did in real-life…Fun-fact! His character was so popular that several Sgt. Slaughter
action figures were made and these figures went on to become the most successful G.I.
Joe toy character.
The late great “Macho Man”, Randy Savage, made an appearance in an episode of Dexter’s
Laboratory back in 1996 as the muscular, teal-coloured… “Macho Man” called “Rasslor”. Rasslor
is an intergalactic wrestler with godlike strength, who would travel from planet to
planet challenging the most powerful fighters. In the episode, “Dial M for Monkey: Rasslor”,
Rasslor arrives at Earth and challenges all of Earth’s superheroes, the Justice Friends,
in a contest of “strength and skill” and if no-one can beat him in a wrestling match,
he will destroy Earth. Rassler defeats all of the superheroes until Monkey is left. After
putting up a fight, Monkey is defeated, however, does not give up despite getting beaten all
the time. Rassler admires Monkey’s tenacity and so decides to spare Earth. The episode
ends with Rasslor shouting, “Oh Yeahhhhh!” the famous catchphrase that we all loved hearing
the Macho Man say.
The Rattlesnake, Stone Cold Steve Austin made an appearance in the animated series, Dilbert
which ran for only two seasons from 1999 to 2000. In the episode, titled “The Delivery”
Austin is a judge presiding over a court hearing… you can already sense where this will end
up as we already witnessed Austin as a doctor. In the episode, Dilbert gets pregnant with
the child of a cow, a hillbilly, Robot DNA, 17 engineers, an elderly billionaire and an
alien… rather f*cked up I know… and each try to claim custody of the child. After Austin
is introduced as the judge by a news reporter, he makes his way to the courtroom and delivers
a stunner to the news reporter and does his usual trademark things like drinking cans
of beer and sticking up his middle fingers. It is a pretty funny watch, if you haven’t
seen it already.
The Nature Boy, Ric Flair guest starred in a 2011 episode of the adult animated Family
Guy spin-off, The Cleveland Show. The episode, called “BFFs” saw Cleveland take his friends
on a camping trip in an effort to bond with them. The camping trip is hosted by none other
than The Nature Boy, Ric Flair, who yells his signature catchphrase, “Wooooo!” in
pretty much every segment he is involved in. It is just so hilarious to watch, especially
when Flair incorporates his catchphrase with the word, “Canoe” when he says “Now
put on your wigs and have fun in your Canooooooo!” It’s so funny, you will have to watch it
yourself and see!
The Hit Man, Bret Hart made a cameo appearance in an episode of the Simpsons back in 1997,
called “The Old Man and the Lisa”. In the episode, Mr. Burns becomes bankrupt and
asks for Lisa to help him become rich again. Bret Hart purchases Mr Burns’ mansion and
complains that the place smells like “old man’s stink”. He then calls Mr Burns “a
pitiful, pencil-neck geek!” Hart was very insistent that his character would wear his
trademark pink wrestling attire in the episode. Hart said, “It’s so cool
to be a part of a show that makes people laugh really, really hard.”
