'Classy' Freddie Blassie appeared on an episode of The Dick Van Dyke Show called "The Twizzle".

It's not a "wrestling episode" but he throws down Dick Van Dyke.

There was a syndicated sitcom in the late-80's called "Learning The Ropes" that starred the late Lyle Alzado as a teacher who moonlighted as a wrestler. It featured then-NWA stars such as The Road Warriors, Jimmy Garvin, and Steve "Dr. Death" Williams.

The Bernie Mac Show - although one episode featured a high school wrestling match w/ Jordan on the wrestling team, Stone Cold Steve Austin appeared in that episode.

Triple H also appeared in another different episode as Bernie's neighbor that gets harassed by Jordan's practical jokes, only to join up with Bernie at the end of the episode telling Jordan "Hey Jordan: It's time to play the game!" and Jordan ends up scared senseless. :lol:



Non-sitcom shows:

The A-Team - it was a either a late S3 or early S4 episode that had Hulk Hogan guest star as a wrestler on there.

Alvin and the Chipmunks - Theodore wrestled a bigger guy named Ivan the Terrible.

Super Mario World - Mario and Luigi wrestled against two of Koopa's minions and one of his Koopalings tried to rig the match by rigging underneath the ring.

Petticoat Junction -- I believe it was a wrestling match involving a very strong guy who worked as a plumber, discovered by Uncle Joe. The Bradley sisters tossed mattresses down from upstairs outside the windows for a practice area. One of the color seasons.

Night Court
2.17 "Battling Bailiff" (1985)
- Bull decides to become a wrestler and leaves his job to pursue his dream.

Full House
8.32 "Michelle Rides Again (1)" (1995)
- Former business partners Jesse and Joey have the opportunity to appear on live television with professional wrestlers, but this is hardly the type of material they are used to working with. The extent of it is basically the two just mock wrestle in the living room.
