They were in our corner shop for a bit and we all went bad for them. WWF wrestlers stuck all over the park and bus stop. As a 7/8 year old, I remember rummaging through my pockets and pulling one of these stickers out. My old man caught a brief glimpse of it, and as a wry grin spread across his face, asked proudly if it was a playing card with a naked lady on it. The look of disappointment on his face when I pulled it back out to have Davey Boy Smith stare back at him. Edited January 27 by Wretch Quote

King Mal the Glorious Posted January 27 Posted January 27 I don't think I had any of those sticker books but I vividly remember the gum stickers. Had loads of them from 10p mix ups. Quote
Merzbow Posted January 27 Posted January 27 I recall my mum having the 1991 blue sticker book that she weirdly treated like a sacred relic that was kept up high, I think she was deathly afraid I'd fuck it up and put the stickers in wrong. Twat. WWF must have been huge in Germany in 1995 because they not only had the Diesel Merlin stickers but also a Panini collection the same year, these seem to be pretty damn rare compared to the other lot.

TibBo Posted February 16 Posted February 16 Had no idea what an amazing athlete Gorilla Monsoon was in his day! Came 2nd in the NCAAs & the AAU championships in the unlimited weight class for Wrestling. Held multiple records for shotput and high-jump/track & field. Could do the RVD split-leg jump and touch his toes! Mental! Will you stop.... being so good at everything Quote

The kids went back to the comic shop yesterday and while nosying about, I found the 1995 WWF Sticker Album (It was complete for £50 for anyone wondering.) I have absolutely no memory of ever having seen it before, certainly not at the time when you just didn't see anything from the WWF at all in the shops apart from the magazine. Not sure if it was actually on sale in shops but I had this and had to hand in a voucher cut out of the paper to the off licence down the road to get it. I got one packet of stickers with it and spent the rest of 1995 trying to find literally anybody else in the entire city selling the stickers, which no fucker did. Quote

It's during Warrior's feud with Dino Bravo - Bravo "picks him out" from the front row of the audience. Quote
