Who in the heck is Captain Sponge Fun? Either the worst superhero ever or the worst corporate mascot ever. Probably both honestly. This is seriously one of the weirdest products I ever saw advertised in a wrestling magazine and that covers a lot of ground. I'm sure you can imagine.
The funniest thing about all of this is that when I was a young sprat reading wrestling magazines and such I totally wanted this. I was such a dork. What stopped me from getting it? The fact that it cost 29.95! 30 bucks for a large rectangular sponge with an image of a wrestler printed on it. I can't imagine that many dudes pulled the trigger on this..
I've looked around a bit and haven't been able to even find a picture of what this actually looked like. That leads me to believe that no one bought this or that the dudes who did buy it beat it down so bad that no examples of it have survived until today...
If you read the fine print you learn that the wrestler on the sponge is called Dick Dare. If I ever become an indie wrestler I'm totally gonna use that name, or if I become an indie porn dude.. That'd work too...
UPDATE! Within a few hours of this post hitting the world wide web good friend of mine Stuntman Mike tweeted me this pic...
so there you have it.. an actual pic of Dick Dare The Wrestling Sponge.. what a world we live in..
