These WWF Legends Minimalist Posters Are Pretty Sweet

WWF Legends Minimalist Posters

The only thing we love at UPROXX more than mash-ups and Tumblr GIFs with subtitles across them are minimalist posters. We’ll post a gallery of minimalist posters for anything … comic book characters, Best Picture nominees, video games as movies, anything.

Thankfully a gent with an Etsy shop (BAMItsBernie) has made the minimalist poster craze relevant to my interests by putting together a set of World Wrestling Federation legends pieces highlighting some of the most memorable characters from fake fighting lore and their finishing holds. Some of these are just absolutely glorious, like Koko B. Ware with Frankie on his head or “Ravishing” Rick Rude’s minimalist poster requiring an outline of his entire body because he’s Rick Rude. I would’ve already bought the Andre the Giant one if it said “BUG-EYED HEADBUTT TO THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD THAT MISSES BY LIKE A FOOT AND A HALF” instead of “reverse piledriver”.

Anyway, take a look at these and drop 20 bucks on one if the muse moves you. I’m gonna befriend this guy and get him to make me a WEDGIE poster for Phantasio.

Morning Links Are Good For You

Written by Brandon Stroud / 07.27.11

I am making an effort to get my girlfriend more interested in this website by featuring things like running and “Saved By The Bell”. And also by putting her friends in the headers.

Sports

Nike Running’s Evolution Film: The LunarGlide+ 3 - Is this the one with the “Ecstasy of Gold” remix where LaDainian Tomlinson and Troy Polamalu are born and immediately start running at each other? Because that’s the best commercial of all time, and maybe one of the best films. [Smoking Section]

Peter King Has Very Objective Criteria For Determining The Best Ballparks In The Universe - This reads just as wonderfully and bizarrely as the title. I keep wanting to do a Peter King guest Dugout, but I swear I could never do it justice. The best ballparks in the universe are Camden Yards (for beauty) and Citizens Bank Park (for utilitarianism), end of story. [KSK]

Jimmy Rollins Meets Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka - Speaking of Citizens Bank, I really wanted to turn this picture into a Dugout, but I couldn’t get any farther than Rollins saying “oh man, remember that time you jumped off the cage onto what’s his face, don muraco” and Superfly going “yah bruddah”. I’m about to get okeydoked by these Big Jimmies. [The Wrestling Blog]

Arianny Celeste Kissing a Giant Banana Penis Statue - I couldn’t feature a big picture of this at the top of the links today, and I urge you to think twice before clicking the link. Imagine if Arianny Celeste was giving head to Yao Ming. That’s sorta what you’re getting into. [Cage Potato]

The Best and Worst of WWE Raw 7/25 - Be sure to catch up on pro wrestling during this one time per decade when it starts getting good. The comments sections of these posts are the coolest and most humbling thing ever, by the way, and I wish I had better ways to say thanks. But thanks. [With Leather]

Barack Obama Meets The Stupid Guy Who Needs Attention From The San Francisco Giants - Alternate title, “Brian Wilson Does More With His Suit Than Our President Has Done In Years”. Not sure I’m HARDBALL~ enough to make that title work, so we’ll stick to making fun of my least favorite baseball player. [With Leather]

Try With Leather Free Fantasy Baseball - It’s a free, fun thing you can do that takes two seconds and covers one night, and you can win $300 dollars and there are Kate Upton pictures. I can’t push this any harder, just go sign up for it, please. [With Leather]

Boston Bruins-Themed Wedding Reception - Behold, a wedding full of people who probably have the worst female accent of all time. [With Leather]

Not Sports

John Goodman Joins Community - They’re trying to fill season 3 with my favorite people from the history of television, first Omar, now Dan Conner. I’m going to wake up tomorrow and read “Margaret Farquhar from that square dancing episode of The Wonder Years joins Community”. [Warming Glow]

The Big Lebowski House and 6 Other “On The Market” Film & TV Homes You’re Too Poor to Buy - It’s a John Goodman sort of morning. The next link is “overweight preacher beats escaped convict with enormous tree branch, click to see the gallery”. [UPROXX]

Supercut: Cinema’s Greatest Mirror Pep Talks - I love these and wish I knew how to make them. I wouldn’t have good concepts, either, I’d just make a supercut of every time somebody said “Gump” in Forrest Gump. Then people would stop going to Film Drunk :( [Film Drunk|

13 Things You Didn't Know About Saved by the Bell - To be fair, I knew most of these. So it's like four things you didn't know about Saved By The Bell. Or, if you're a normal person, 13 Things You Didn't Know About Saved By The Bell. [Unreality]
