  1. The Waltman photo on the card does indeed look very odd and seems to have no eyebrows (or very little eyebrows)

     

    Here is the pic of the card:

    Just click the 1-2-3 Kid link once there.

     

    I love the Hasbro figures they were fantastic and were just coming in as I got into wrestling in 1990. Remember running my own promotion as a Kid and doing all the events. Great memories.

     

    I still collect Hasbros now and I have most of the figures apart from the Mail Aways and Prototypes which are hard to get hold of or uber expensive.

     

    I have also started to collect the Jakks Classic Series which are SUPERB!

  2. 1) Ricky Steamboat vs. Randy Savage (Wrestle Mania III)The definitive WWF 1980s classic match that stole the biggest show of them all, how could anyone who has seen it ever forget it. Two of the greatest wrestlers of a generation in their prime showing what they can do what can be better then that.2) Owen Hart vs. Bret Hart (Wrestle Mania X)Would have picked Steve Austin vs. Bret Hart at Wrestle Mania 13 or Survivor Series 96 but thats not possible, so this to me stands out as the definitive match for Bret Hart and Owen Hart, 20 minutes of super smooth crisp wrestling with the right man winning in exactly the right way. A real sign of what a motivated Bret Hart could do.3) Chris Benoit vs. Kurt Angle (Royal Rumble 2003)An absolute jaw dropping masterpiece of a match that showed that when it comes to mat wrestling these two men are without a doubt the two best in North America if not the world, super smooth, super inovative, crisp, wonderful wrestling and quite possibly the show case match in Kurt Angle's career which looks to be cut criminally short.4) Steve Austin vs. The Rock (Wrestle Mania X7)The match that brought the WWF's attitude era to a peak, at the biggest show of them all these two men the figureheads of the attitude era blew the roof off with a 30 minute intense brawl that never slowed and had the crowd on the edge of their seat all the way. The definitive match at the definitive show of an entire era of WWF history who can ask more then that.5) Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker (Hell in the Cell 1997)The first hell in the cell and by far the best. Both WWF put in a career performance in a sheer balls to the wall brawl that showed a new side to the WWF product and was one of the bouts that began to usher in the attitude era (also see Steve Austin vs. Bret Hart at Wrestle Mania 13) A match that never gets tired and never fails to be gripping.6) Triple H vs. Cactus Jack (Royal Rumble 2000)Mick Foley in the twilight of his career making Triple H into the new WWF figure head in one long, bloody brutal brawl that tore through MSG. One of the best near falls ever when Foley kicks out of the first pedigree. One of the best brawls I have ever seen and along with the Hell in the Cell rematch a perfect way to wind down a career for one of the sports true legends and a perfect way to make a career for one who will no doubt be a future legend.7) Ric Flair vs. Arn Anderson (Fall Brawl 95)Speaking of true legends, perhaps the sports very biggest Ric Flair and his biggest ally and one of my all time personal favourites Arn Anderson, in the only time they ever locked horns an intense psychology laden drama that show the awesome skills of both me. I could watch any match that these two men have ever been in all day long and watching them wrestle each other is truly special.8) Dynamite Kid vs. Tiger Mask (1st January 1982)The definitive cruiserweight wrestler and the true pioneer of North American cruiserweight wrestling against his favourite opponent. If you love wrestling you can't fail to love the Dynamite Kid. This match really showcases his ability, fast, intense, stiff, crisp wrestling from a true master and perhaps the greatest of all time. When it comes to cruiserweight wrestling no matter what modern match you put in the way, like a famous song said when it comes to these two men no body does it better.9) Rey Mysterio vs. Eddie Guerrero (Halloween Havok 97)The modern variation of the previous match with two cruiserweight pioneers stealing the show. Both men will be remembered as true lucha style legends and two of the only Mexican style wrestler to truly break North America. This is the ultimate advertisment for WCW's Cruiserweight division. While I am not a fan of the lucha style I can't argue against this match, truly fantastic. 10) Hulk Hogan vs. Andre the Giant (Wrestle Mania III)Not a great match, but without a doubt the most epic match of all time. Two icons clashing at the biggest show of a generation, the Austin vs. Rock of its time and deserving a place as one of the most remembered moments in wrestling. It capture the minds of wrestling fans everywhere because at the time it felt like anyone could win. There is a reason that you see clips of this match on many WWF/WWE recap packages because it truly is worth seeing.I can think of a million reasons why I love wrestling and above are 10 very good reasons indeed.
