Characters Introduced

Summary

Grandpa Lou tells the Rugrats that he used to be a wrestler named "Pretzel-Maker Pickles", and that he's going to step in the ring again to wrestle his old rival Conan "The Crusher" McNulty. When Grandpa Lou is forced to watch the kids on the day of his match, he takes them all to see the show. But Grandpa Lou isn't as spry as he used to be, and since the babies now think he's a "struper hero", they try to help him increase his power any way they can! - Description from Klasky Csupo

Plot

Grandpa Lou Pickles (1991) relives his glory days as a wrestler by wrestling his old nemesis, Conan McNulty (Daniel Davis). Can "Pretzel-Maker" Pickles defeat Conan "The Crusher"? The Rugrats think so, as they think that he's a superhero.

Trivia

The bearded wrestler with S.G. on his mask is the tribute to a former Klasky Csupo employee named Steve Gold, who used to be a wrestler before working in the cartoon biz!
Angelica is absent in this episode.
This episode along with its sister episode "Chuckie Collects" premiered on the very same day as the 12th Annual Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards ceremony, as well as the sneak preview for Nickelodeon's newest animated series SpongeBob SquarePants.[1]
- Ironically, SpongeBob would be the very show that later goes on to surpass Rugrats as the longest running Nicktoon yet.

Moral: Cheaters don't win.
