**It was a huge hit on the Hit the Ropes website, so we decided we would bring it to the folks of Bleacher Report, just in case you might have missed it.**

There is nothing like needing something and realizing you have to get up out of your home and head over to the nearest Walmart. Fear not, though, as the local department store can lend itself to viewing many interesting folks.

The influence of professional wrestling can be seen throughout the world, and Wal-Mart can't escape the tendrils of pro wrestling. So, thanks to the wonderful people at PeopleofWalmart.com, HTR has decided to bring to you, "When Pro Wrestlers Become People of Wal-Mart."

Be sure to check out the People of Wal-Mart website, as it is chock-full of hilarious pictures of Wal-Marts throughout the nation. With that, let us begin the fun.

walmart,large woman,gold,goldust,shiny suit

Initial Thoughts:

Goldust, eat your heart out.

Dustin Runnels has got nothing on you sista!

This is why there are no long title reigns in wrestling anymore. Nobody wants to hold on to the gold.

wwe,hogwins,hog farmer,walmart,overalls

Initial Thoughts:

Holy crap! It's Henry O. Godwinn.

Anybody remember when Hunter Hearst-Helmsley got "slopped" after the Arkansas Hog Pen match? That's what happens when you break kayfabe, Triple H. 

Hey, where's Phineas I. Godwinn and Hillbilly Jim?

dx,army,fatigues,camouflage,walmart

Initial Thoughts:

Someone call Sgt. Slaughter; I think we have someone who went AWOL.

She was the true winner of that Diva Search contest a few years ago when they had to run the obstacle course.

Go back and watch that DX entrance from SummerSlam, I believe we saw her in the tank with the boys.

wwe,walmart,walmart,finlay,hornswoggle,lucky charms,irish

Initial Thoughts:

My name is Finlay and I love to...buy teen comedy DVDs???

Finlay isn't looking very "fit" anymore.

When it comes to young Hornswoggle, sir, you ARE the father!

wwe,walmart,kool-aid,mvp,mark henry

Initial Thoughts:

With the PG programming, the WWE has gotten another kid-friendly sponsor.

Hey Scott Hall, isn't this ride, Just...too...sweeeettttt! (No, not really.)

So this is how Mark Henry and MVP get to the arenas now.

walmart,face paint,kabuki,sting

Initial Thoughts:

I wondered why Sting doesn't paint his face as much anymore.

Hiroko , where's Kenzo Suzuki? "You cheer on Kenzo Suzuki to the vic-to-wee!"

I'm thinking she got Mr. Fuji really angry earlier.

walmart,wwe,the great khali,indian

Initial Thoughts:

I'm telling Ranjin Singh that you're cheating on him with another translator.

The Great Khali, huh! You're not so great. You can't even drink milk with lactose in it.

I'm sorry, Khali, Wal-Mart sells a lot of things, but you won't find wrestling talent there.

 

dx,wwe,walmart,jackets,hbk,hhh

Initial Thoughts:

I've got two words for ya...That's tacky!

If that lady isn't careful, she'll get a Superkick like that little girl did.

Even when they aren't on WWE television, DX finds a way to shamelessly plug their merchandise.

rattlesnake,rattlesnake,wwe,stone cold steve austin,walmart,depends,stunner

Initial Thoughts:

And that's the bottom line, because my barber said so.

How do you want your hair to look? WHAT!? How do you want your hair to look? WHAT!? Your hair? WHAT!? To look? WHAT!?

Will we see "Stone Cold" Steve Austin guest host an episode of RAW? Depends.

hulk hogan,walmart,walmart,wwe,tna,pythons,hulkamania

Initial Thoughts:

Money wasn't the only thing that Linda took in the divorce.

Whatchya gonna do brutha, when the Hulkster has 11 items and still gets into the 10 items or less lane?

I don't think this is what TNA expected when they signed Hulk to come onboard.

wwe,kane,katie vick,undertaker,walmart,necrophilia

Initial Thoughts:

Katie Vick anybody?

Hey, Kane, this guy wants to boink your ex. You gonna do something about that?

If this guy succeeds in accomplishing that desire, then all those souls the Undertaker took might not be resting very peacefully.

Walmart,wrestling,parking lot,brawl

Initial Thoughts:

Is that Vladimir Kozlov on the right?

This is a true parking lot brawl. First person to slam their opponent on the hood of the Ford Ranger and drive them into the produce aisle wins.

Is it just me or does this look like a TNA house show?
