 I have no clue who the Triple Crown champ even is anymore (Suwama?) but he wasn't even invited. This is the first time I've ever really gotten a good look at the W-1 championship, not a bad looking belt for a flailing fed that works with TNA.

I still think that the GHC title belt has got to be one of the cheapest, shittiest looking high-level titles ever. I'm pretty sure I like the WWE spinner belt better.

I actually kind of like the IWGP tag belts. Certainly miles better than their WWE counterparts.

One of my favorite Vince things ever is saying "Am I 69 years old? Yes. Am I out of touch? I don't think so" with a straight face when people have been telling him he's out of touch for decades. At least he's fully committed to his delusions.

Found this thread about a week ago and have been chipping away, sad to see I have come to the end [for now]. Anyone got a good collection of obscure classic WWF Logo pics? I LOVE the logo and love seeing it on anything, gaudy blazers, tacky merch and banners. That thing is a beauty. Meanwhile, enjoy a nostalgia filled post about wrasslin toys  poo poo there was an announce table bundle? I thought this was an ingenious idea as bein a dorky kid during this time, hardcore stuff was cool. Especially as nearly every figure came with a weapon.  Then they started coming out with changeable ring-skirts/ropes and even 'actual' turnbuckles which would replace the pre-moulded plastic posts. So goony, but I rememberi t being cool  Jesus christ when I saw this thing on the back of a figure box for the first time I remember goin nuts. The thought of getting to hear music for your figs and to get a vinnie mac fig was awesome. I remember having loads of figs with the little metal plate and thinking aw yeah I can't wait to hear too cools music. Imagine my dissapointment when it only had about 10 configured songs on it (See the images on the box of the wrestlers). Too cool came out to gangrels music   We had a 'wrestling toy shop' pop up in a weird shopping mall (one of those places where folks rent a unit and dissappear forever after time). And it had loads of stuff which blew us away, you think most stores like Toys R Us, woolworths and the like only had a small selection. I loved the ovaltron and again, HAD TO HAVE IT. It wasn't titantron-enabled or electronic, but still fantastic. I believe there was an electronic version around after though. This was on the tail end of me being a dorky kid [2001ish?] but still was brilliant.  Never had but kind of wanted. I never really liked playsets as bits always went missing (although the Jurassic Park compound is the exclusion to this feeling).  Around 98-99 there were these crap figures where the arms and legs didn't bend. I had a taker figure which was 'signed', but it was crap loooking and I couldn't wrestle with him  Thankfully the jakks titantron style figures were commonplace after this crap. I recall all of them looking terrible. Like LJN and Jakks had a baby. Awkward times.  From the same time period as above. I remember some weird poo poo. Sweating figures, bone crunching, and some utter nonsense where the wrestlers would be in big Warhammer style armour and all futuristic mad max poo poo. STOMP I believe it was called. Utter shyte.  For some reason I never got ahold of a table, but always wanted one   I got this one birthday/christmas and I wasn't sure what to make of it. I 'knew' of WCW but this was pre internet and being a kid, anything non WWF was weird! I loved having the stage and trusses. You even got a little ref. For some reason I hated battery operated features as I saw them as gimmicky even back bein a doofus kid. The middle of the ring had a fabric/stretchy cover with buttons underneath. If you held it down it counted 'one, two, three'. I believe there was another button for grunts. The turnbuckles had triggers too for noises. And you could attach a figure to the entrance ramp and slide him down like Taker at wrestlemania. Not sure if there was music, but it was cool as a kid. There's probably some kid [read; man] on youtube doing a full review filmed by a DSLR  On the subject of WCW, I also got these. I think mum and dad got promotions mixed up when shopping for lil simo. These figures had little magnets in their fists. They lock up, and you squeeze the legs to flip them up. Kind of cool I guess, but useless as a kids wrestling figure due to no real articulation. I remember the magnets falling out of their fixings, they were strong magnets though! I got Sting, Buff bagwell and DDP. I thought - who the hell are these guys. They looked so cheap compared to WWF toys.  Not really a toy, but kid related. In the UK we have 'Annuals' which are hardbound books about the size of an A4 sheet of paper with about 50-75 pages give or take? I had 91,92 and 95 [pictured] I wondered where Hulk Hogan was in the 1995 book as everything looked really different, if only I knew. These were basically just bios and stuff that happened in the year. I had no idea what any of it meant, I just loved seeing folks I had never seen before (from my fragmented knowledge, of playing the Genesis wrestling games, watching odd VHS tapes and etc). I think they still make these now?  It was cool to find uncommon figures such as jobbers and women which they did start doing more in 2000+; I remember being chuffed when mum bought Steven richards [RTC] and Stephanie mcmahon. No idea why.  The main rings at the time of my toy period were always poo poo. The ropes would make the posts bend, and they they'd loose their elasticicty. This ring I had had a rubbish steel cage. Basically 4 panels which clipped together using the weakest possible joins imagineable. You could also use it as a COOL CASE TO STORE YOUR FIGURES or weapons. Then came along the hardcore ring [see first pic]. I always hated how the rings were not scaled to the figures. I think that's pretty much all I remember from my time. As goony as it is, I wish some of the poo poo that is around now, I had back in the attitude era Bonus round  They started making full scale rings and with intricate parts like aprons and turnbuckles. Are you kiddin' me. Jealous. But proud to not be a neckbeard wrestling figure goon these days.  They even do/did a scale CELL for the scaled ring. The thing must be fuckin huge! Would of killed for this as a kid. Bet its awkward to play with? Let's give a shout out to the WWF LJN range. I just was on the tail end of these being retailed, I had knowledge of the old 80s,early 90s era thanks to the Annuals and Megadrive [genesis] games.  BIG PIC [2000px Wide] I thought these figs were quirky and they at least pawned off their lack of articulation with 'actions'. Basically twist the torso for a clothesline. Effort. And that's that I guess! edit:[poo poo, this took an hour to compose?]

Good post. I still have that titantron and McMahon action figure in my attic. Probably my favorite toy as a kid. Road doggs theme was the best. Also, that hell in a cell set is awesome. My youngest brother got it when I was in 8th grade or so and I definitely messed with it more than I'd like to admit. You got me feeling all nostalgic now

That gimmick led to him winning a lot of Royal Rumbles and getting some major pushes in my bedroom. I think it was Yokozuna, where his legs were on a spring so he could to AWESOME terrible jumps off the top turnbuckle. Every Royal Rumble would have a spot where maybe Yokozuna got to stay in and fight or jumped out of the ring on his own accord. This is why video games suck. Thanks for the nostalgia trip simosimo.
