The Reverend Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I always thought that Hogan water pistol thing made him look like a toothless old vagrant. The hand looks like he's going to break out into a bit of self abuse in a park bush like one too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Reverend Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Is that blue sticker album with Watrrior / Hogan on the cover a European version of the black cover version we had here in the UK? It was the first one that came out and also had the Superstars logo. I've never seen that blue version before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Jock Knew Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Fucking hell. My parents must have donated a small fortune to WWF via merchandise. From those pics alone, I had: Â - Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior Wrestling Buddies - Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart and British Bulldog pin brooches - WWF Super WrestleMania and WWF Raw on the SNES - Replica WWF title belt - The Bret Hart/Undertaker Merlin sticker albums. - The WWF duvet set (easily the most nostalgic of those pics for me ) - Countless Hasbro figures and issues of WWF Magazine. Â Oh well. At least it wasn't money wasted as I'm still a wrestling fan in my 20s! Oh, and I'd definitely wear that nightmarish Hogan jacket out to a club if I could get my hands on it.

MoistVaj Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Thanks Ian for that tremendous post, brings back a lot of memories. Â Looking at them, the first thing I feel is the fact I was a spoilt little shit as I've owned a good 75% of the merchandise there. I never ever saw that awesome duvet set though, that is magnificient. I had to make do with a Super Mario set instead. I had all of those pin broches except the Warrior one. The only other stuff on there I can't remember owning is the caps and the Hogan and Warrior jackets. I also remember having a Warrior and Hogan bath salts set thingy from Superdrug, then when I'd finished those off I had a Bret Hart and Big Boss Man one too. Vividly remember owning that clock, and the L.O.D pencil case as I'd mentioned previously. Obviously all the games were classic if a tad awful gameplay at the time, I used to just leave the character selection screen on the theme musics and then strut around my bedroom to the entrances. Tragic. Â I remember some other trading cards aswell as the gold ones, I think these ones were made by Merlin, would have been rougly 91/92, and you bought the entire set from Woolies in one plastic casing, it was just a picture of the wrestler with his name written underneath in a matching or relevant colour to his gimmick or ring attire, they released a couple of packs like it because I remember in one set Slaughter was a heel with the title belt and in the next pack he was with the USA flag. I reckon there was about 50-70 cards in a pack and they were reasonably thick, but I can never find them on Ebay, they had no stats or info on the back of them from what I can remember.

CavemanLynn Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Good gawd, this thread has made me so happy and sad - happy with nostalgia reliving all this stuff, but sad knowing that it'll probably never be so good again. Â I ended up daydreaming at work, and now wish somebody would do a reboot of the old WWF Wrestlefest arcade game. WWE Allstars tried but just didn't cut it - I want fat stiffly-animated brightly-coloured sprites, nothing but signature moves, and the ability to have about a dozen guys onscreen at once. And no f***ing mo-cap! Â *cries* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vice Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Here's some pictures of vintage merch I've hunted down through various websites. Cheers for that awesome post! Â Anyone able to post those scans of the merchandise pages from early-90s WWF magazines I've seen on here a few times? Â These? I can't view that, as it's asking for a password. But I mean the old-school catalogues that had the likes of the purple Macho Man shades T-shirt and Stephanie in a Rockers (I think) T-shirt, etc. Â EDIT - Found a load: Â http://www.flickr.com/photos/29383094@N04/...57606611149013/ Â http://www.flickr.com/photos/26725653@N05/...57606611372483/ Â http://www.flickr.com/photos/26725653@N05/...57606613637141/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Fucking hell Ian, I'm gonna have a big wank over those pictures later. Â Is that Ultimate Warrior badge the same picture he's got tattooed on his arm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members WWFChilli Posted June 16, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted June 16, 2011 I had the duvet, also had the curtain's that went with them. Â One of the late 92/early 93 WWF Mags (I'm sure it was Flair on the cover) came with a silver WWF block logo badge. I wore that fucker proudly on my uniform, like I was a primary school Sean Mooney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digforvictory Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I'll never forget being at my nana's and watching my aunties bulldog go mental and rip my hulk hogan wrestling buddy to pieces. I was absolutely gutted, the immortal Hulk Hogan killed without any warning. I never forgave that dog. I'm pretty sure that this was a common event with people, dogs for some reason did not like Wrestling buddies. Â Luckily my Ultimate Warrior one survived, I think I've still got it at home. I always thought it was just Warrior and Hogan that you could get but I'm sure I've seen a Macho Man one. Does anyone know if there were more? Â That post by Ian is mint, it's the sheer colour of it all that draws you in. They knew what they doing with us didn't they? How could a kid resist any of that?

Dirty Eddie Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I still have that Ring Announcer's Microphone (pictured above in the big post from Ian). I think it still kinda works too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Rob Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Colt Cabana's podcast with Curt Hawkins talks about how he and Zack Ryder collect WWE merchandise, and also mentions a room at WWE HQ full of old merch that contracted guys can go and take whatever they want.
