New Member, Must Send First,
Stopped in at Dave & Adams today and saw they had a stack of these in on clearance. Great product so I had to grab a box, especially since it now seems difficult to find new Leaf hockey products in stores.
So happy I did, lots of "vintage" autos here for a "vintage" rasslin' fan :
First, getting this out of the way, my nomination for "most likely to be used to start a campfire" auto:

Ricardo Rodriguez
This was actually the last auto in the box. This piece of flotsam would make me mad if I wasn't so much happier with the rest of the box!
Moving on to the good stuff, in order of the way they came out of the box, because I'm not sure I can pick a favorite! :

Rocky Johnson! I was pretty pumped with this. Legitimate trailblazer in the sport of wrestling, and WWE Hall of Famer!!

Dan "The Beast" Severn! What a great picture, this should be in the dictionary under the word "Accomplishment". Someone at the shop who didn't know wrestling saw this photo over my shoulder and said "Wow, he must be good!"
Next, probably my favorite, just for the CLASSIC "CHAMPION" pose :

Nick Bockwinkel (RIP)! Another wrestler who inspired so many after him. Also WWE Hall of Famer.
This last one really made my face light up, what memories of this guy I have, Hard to think of anyone he DIDN'T wrestle, and I love the action shot :

Go Harley! Unscrew his darn head off!!
I remember a story about Harley Race. In WWF he won the "KIng of The Ring" Tournament, and then wrestled as "King" Harley Race there, wearing purple and gold trunks and boots emblazoned with a crown, until leaving to return to NWA/WCW. When he first appeared back in NWA, he was still wearing the crown trunks. This was dismissed in color commentary as being because "He is a really big fan of the Sacramento Kings".
Well, there we are, I loved it!!
EDIT - Just realized when looking the post over, the Alberto Del Rio photo is reversed! LOL!! The printing on the championship belt is backwards in the picture!
