1980s Wrestlers

[Theideafactory]

Like many of my fellow HI members, I grew up in the 1970s - 1980s.

Back then, WWF wrestling was huge, and my friends and I tried to watch all the wrestling shows on TV (and rented videos of the big events like Wrestlemania).

Over the years, I have picked up quite a few autographs of wrestlers from those days.

If anyone else wants to show off their wrestling treasures, please feel free. I will add some more items if people want to see them.

Thanks a lot!

Pete

I used to watch a lot of Stampede Wrestling, Ed Whalen's reactions & commentary were great. I still remember going to the Victoria Pavilion with my buddy in the early 70's to see Dave Ruhl and Sweet Daddy Siki wrestle. By the end of the night we could barely see the ring anymore because of the cigarette smoke in the air. :laugh: Not as theatrical as today's wrestling, but very entertaining.

Any chance you still have the Mr Fuji, Snuka and Poffo 1990 Classic autos from 2020….and maybe want to move them? Please let me know.
Thanks!

Thanks for asking, Don.

The wrestling stuff I have is pretty dear to me so I think I will keep everything for now.

Take care,

Pete

 

[Don Robertson]

All good. If by chance you happen upon any 1990 WWF Classic signed dupes and want to move them please give me a shout. Thanks
