Plus, the menu was a work of art.

Amongst other things, who wouldn't want to try a 'Broken Finger Sandwich', 'Face Buster Fajita Sandwich' or 'Crippler Crossface Cheesesteak'? Elsewhere on the menu, patrons could pick from amazing choices like the 'Slamboree Swordfish', 'Back-Breaker Beer-Battered Shrimp', 'Big Boy Brownie' and more.

Some wrestlers, like Chris Benoit above, even had their own dishes. There was the 'Booker T-Bone' steak, the 'Figure Four Fajitas', the 'Raven Cajun Pasta' and a quite incredible nWo tie-in called the 'nEw York' (although they f*cked up the nWo style by printing, "NeW York").

If you fancied a drink, the Grill had your wrestling needs covered too. Thirsty fans could sink a few themed cocktails that included the 'Bam Bam Blitz', a 'Bashed At The Beach', the 'Nitroccino' (!?) and the 'Stinger Splash'. What a time to be alive this was.
