Was incredibly popular in the early 90s, when just about every heel in [[{{Wrestling/WWE}} WWE]] got one.

This is very frequent in Pro Wrestling. Say Promotion A doesn't have enough actual wrestling to fill the entire show, what do they do? Give some wrestler, often a {{Heel}} or a smart mouthed {{Face}}, his own talk show, of course. The talk show isn't really a talk show as much as it is a few chairs, or a couch, in the ring and the host simply runs his mouth.

* In 1986, Adrian Adonis began using an effeminate "cross-dresser" gimmick and began hosting a segment called "The Flower Shop." The violence came when Roddy Piper came to shut the Flower Shop down. After a week of threats against one another, both The Flower Shop and Piper's Pit sets were set up ... and Adonis got a temporary victory by (with the help of Don Muraco and Bob Orton) destroying Piper.

* Beulah [=McGillicutty=] had "Beulah's Box" in ECW.

** Speaking of, that would be Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake's show, The Barber Shop. Its most famous moment was the segment where Wrestling/ShawnMichaels turned heel (by launching Marty Jannetty through the [[SoftGlass glass door]]), and it is this segment that began Michaels' run to the superstardom stratosphere.

* [[Wrestling/JakeRobertsJake "The Snake" Roberts]] hosted The Snake Pit, where the most famous segment was the Honky Tonk Man smashing Roberts over the back after Roberts told Honky that he was not interested in his music. (Interestingly, Wrestling/AndreTheGiant was once a visitor to the Snake Pit, and never showed any fear of snakes.)

** Speaking of, that would be Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake's show, The Barber Shop. Because even though his face was crushed in a windsurfing accident, by God, Wrestling/HulkHogan's best friend was going to be involved in the WWF somehow. While The Barber Shop wasn't particularly remarkable, one segment was: the segment where Wrestling/ShawnMichaels turned heel (by launching Marty Jannetty through the [[SoftGlass glass door]]), and it is this segment that began Michaels' run to the superstardom stratosphere.

* Piper's Pit, hosted by [[{{Wrestling/RoddyPiper}} "Rowdy" Roddy Piper]], was the TropeCodifier in the 1980s and included incidents such as Piper cracking Jimmy Snuka over the head with a coconut, beating up a jobber named Frankie Williams, spraying Morton Downey Jr. with a fire extinguisher, and himself getting Super Kicked by [[{{Wrestling/ShawnMichaels}} Shawn Michaels]].
* In a episode of [[{{Wrestling/ChrisJericho}} Chris Jericho]]'s show, The Highlight Reel, [[{{Wrestling/JeffHardy}} Jeff Hardy]] responded to Jericho's bragging by hitting him with a Twist of Fate. Strangely enough, for all the ridiculous lampshading it gets, the "Obscenely Expensive Jeritron 5000" had yet to be used in a violent confrontation -- until the final edition, where Jericho committed a FaceHeelTurn and sent [[{{Wrestling/ShawnMichaels}} Shawn Michaels]] through it, paralleling a years ago scene where Michaels' singles career took off after he basically did this (with a barbershop window) to Marty Jannetty.

* A show hosted by [[{{Wrestling/Edge}} Edge]], called The Cutting Edge, ended with his guest, [[{{Wrestling/Batista}} Batista]], Power Bombing him in response to Edge taunting him by arranging to have the lights go off in the arena, as if [[{{Wrestling/TheUndertaker}} The Undertaker]] were entering, even though he wasn't.
