"Just Clap Your Hands"

[JasonIK75 · 10/10 · 6 April 2016]

This is the kind of fun video we'll never get to see again because WWE doesn't have great gimmicks/characters anymore. Back in the 1980s, we had the Iron Sheik (before he deteriorated into a profanity-spewing meme-generating caricature of himself), Rowdy Roddy Piper (at his most intense and funniest), Nikolai Volkoff (at his unmusical best), the Junkyard Dog, Don Muraco, Mr. Fuji, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, Freddie Blassie, George "The Animal" Steele, Randy "Macho Man" Savage, Hillbilly Jim, Jesse "The Body" Ventura, Captain Lou Albano, Uncle Elmer, SD Jones and Koko B. Ware, and it was back when Vince would let himself be silly like he does here. If you're like me and you were around for this era, it's a great trip to a bygone era. If you weren't around, you don't know what you missed. It's notable for the fact that Hulk Hogan wasn't involved, and there had to be a very good reason for Hulk Hogan not to be part of something in 1985 WWE.

Hoots!

Even if you are not a fan of wrestling, you can laugh along with this one. They are all having a blast and you feel it in this vid.

WWF (not the pandas)

Yes, I actually bought the wrestling album (yes, an actual vinyl album, as this was before CDs) back in the 1980s, and I loved Land of a Thousand Dances as performed by the celebrities of the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, not to be confused with the World Wildlife Fund). So may celebrities, and they really get into the spirit of the song, and thankfully you can still watch it on the internet and sing along with much gusto with Jesse Ventura (who later became governor of Minnesota), George "The Animal" Steele (who later became a pastor), Captain Lou Albano (who was in the Goonies R Good Enough video).
