  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Hogan would make one final attempt at big screen stardom in 1996, although its theatrical release was very, very limited, with the astonishingly bad Santa With Muscles, a movie that rivals Santa Claus Conquers the Martians for the worst Santa themed holiday movie ever made. JESUS CHRIST, YOU WOULD PRETTY MUCH HAVE TO BE ANALLY VIOLATED WITH A GARDEN WEASEL OR BE GIVEN A COLONOSCOPY BY EDWARD SCISSORHANDS TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING MORE PAINFUL THAN EXPERIENCING THIS ABOMINATION!!! {{[[[Note From Ed]] Note to self| increase Foy's lithium dosage - Ed}}]

I was pretty stunned to see the infamous "Santa rape" scene in the Warrior Christmas Special but that would not be the first nor the last time Santa took it full in the ass from the pro wrestling industry...

This is a 1996 comedy about greedy health guru named Blake (played by Hulk Hogan) who had gotten amnesia and ended up thinking he was Santa Claus. He ended up helping to save an orphanage from supervillain Ebner Frost.

Tropes used in Santa with Muscles include:


  • An Asskicking Christmas
  • Amnesiac Liar
  • Badass Santa
  • Easy Amnesia: Blake got hit on the head once and forgot everything. He hit his head again and ended up remembering who he was.
  • He's Got a Weapon!: "Look out! He's got a candy cane!"
  • Identity Amnesia
  • Made of Explodium: The crystals in the caverns below the orphanage — although they apparently switch to being made of implodium at the end of the film, whereby they seem to form some sort of vortex that sucks the orphanage into it.
    • It also needs to be pointed out that while we're told that the crystals are horribly unstable and will blow up at the slightest touch, at the climax Black and Ebner have a Sword Fight with them, smashing the highly explosive crystals together for several minutes with absolutely no effect at all.
  • Terrified of Germs: Ebner Frost the Big Bad, to the point where his Mooks spray every room he walks into with disinfectant first.
