I had so much of that stuff as a kid. I think I had almost every Hasbro figure up until the last series or two. I vividly remember doing an entire storyline where IRS tied Tatanka in the ropes and destroyed his ceremonial head dress (which I made out of construction paper) before seeing the same drat thing happen on TV two weeks later. Blew my mind. The Hasbro figures have to have been the best ones they did. The LJN ones were these huge rubber monstrosities and the Jakks ones were alright and I had a million of those as well, but something about the Hasbro figures was just so on point. Maybe something to do with the figures actually having different molds/body types? Man. That poo poo ruled. drat YOU, TOYS! drat YOU, CHILDHOOD!

Blew my mind. I had the LJN ones as a kid, and while they had no articulation, those fuckers could take a beating and you never had to worry about accidentally breaking one. Had the ring too, and ended up creating my own little fed with titles and supercards. I'm also not ashamed to admit that the name I used for my fed, I still use for my main brand in the WWE2K's universe mode.

They all wound up with weird half-hands with metal wires sticking out of their bodies. So many fingers and noses lost

Purple masked Kane looks pretty cool, he probably would have looked pretty good if he wrestled in those colors.

They had a scale Elimination Chamber, DX had a whole segment about it during Christmas. They actually had a smaller version before that with their smaller bounce rings, but a chamber for the scale rings was like massive.

incredible bear posted:Oh hey you took a picture from my childhood. The Macho Man was kind of annoying to play with because he basically had wings sp was tough to do DDTs or anything with. I can only imagine the number of times I made the Rockers fight Demolition for the tag belts. Jake the Snake was usually defending the championship against the Million Dollar Man. Five year old me had good taste.

Rusev's ability to improvise, his selling of long-sustained attacks, and his work ethic has really won me over. I'm gonna be sad when he loses to Cena.

This is adorable, and only helps my view of Rusev as a giant sad teddy bear being forced to be mean. Red jacket arrived for my Nakamura cosplay. Not sure on the wig will need some styling but still...YEOH!!

I thought Lana was amazing from the get go, and Rusev was just another Umaga, but I am really rooting for him now. When he does the foot sell, and especially when the flag mucked up on raw and he went nuts. A few weeks back when Henry and Big show beat him up, he should of got babyface sympathy

I would pay thousands of pounds to see Nakamura vs Triple H in a Tokyo Dome/Wrestlemania level setting. Not even for the match (which would probably own) but for the entrances.

I mean, she married one, but she only ever cosplays as the videogames and she seems to like the My Little Ponies which everyone knows aren't animes. This rabbit hole runs deep.
