Yes those where fun back in the day

Does anyone remember the WF thumb wrestlers? We had quite a few championship matches with the school bus seat serving as the wring with those back in the day and quite a few wrenched, sore thumbs to show for it. I still remember one kid's 'Iron Sheik' figure getting tossed out the bus window onto the top of the bus while moving that made him start crying. The bus driver stopped in the middle of the road until we got it back with a broom he had.

He deserves his good fortune. Class act.

Greg was one of the guys back in the golden days that always did great mic rants, and always busted his ass to give everyone a good show. Seeing him now, he seems like a really nice guy. He looks healthy and I'm glad to see some attention being paid to him. He deserves it. He's also an excellent storyteller, and has an interesting and honest outlook from his time in the business. Thanks for all the great matches Greg.✌

Hell yeah, he is! My dad said he was a good friend too.

I actually remember seeing it advertised in the catalog when I was a kid! And then wondering why it never came out.

My brother and I collected the 1st generation Star Wars figures when we were kids, the ones that came out right after A New Hope first hit theaters. We played with them until the arms fell off, some got lost in the back yard, some got eaten by our dog. all of them lost long ago. Every once in awhile I'll stop by come collectibles shop or convention and see those exact same figurines selling for hundreds of dollars! If I only knew then what I do now... I still would have played with them until the arms fell off, but I would have bought a second one stored and intact in the original packaging and waiting for my retirement!

in the late 70s and early 80s i was a kid playing with action figures, in 1990 i graduated high school and immediately started collecting action figures i have thousands of figures now. if i sold all those figures i would not have any amount of money that would change my life, everyone and there dog these days have seen a story or 2 on their local news or in a magazine about some action figure selling or being worth a ton of money and now everyone beats themselves up over getting rid of their childhood toys. trust me if you still had your childhood toys you would not be able to retire off of them or anything. sometimes there are figures that are pretty valuable but those are super rare and generally were not commercially available or were some sort of mistake that quickly got recalled, usually they are some sort of prototype that never actually got released. either way when you go into some over priced comic store or something and see the figure you had as a kid sitting in the display case marked $200 dont go freaking out, thats probably a perfect still carded figure first of all, second of all just because it is marked that high doesnt mean anyone is actually going to buy it which is why it is sitting there in the first place.

If you had all the original Star Wars toys in the box though you could pay for your kids college at a decent state university though.

Half of those Hasbro figures I owned needed to have limbs superglued back on eventually. Those were not the most durable toys. My Davey Boy Smith figure had a deformed ankle because he was left in the car with the sun shining on him, and the plastic on his foot melted and then hardened again.

Must be such a strange experience to have been around that kind of history constantly and not recognizing it's value in the future at the time, let alone being the direct subject of it.

We're getting an official one in January 23 on Mattel Creations.

Chico Santana right from the start never knew the value of a collectibles. That is why Rick Martel left him to be beaten up by The Brain Busters.

I thought that green IC belt was/is beautiful. I remember that match with GV and TS.

Greg says Hasbro like Marlboro! Lmao

Had the toys as a kid but I've got a little setup bought a wwf Hasbro ring now it's a memorial basically if someone passes away I'll buy a beat up figure that was clearly loved I don't do new I like things to have history & put them in the ring on my shelf it's the only wrestling memorabilia I own anymore apart from my tattoos but some are relics from the 90s like my south park Terry Funk SO 1998 could never get it covered.

I wasn't a huge Greg the hammer Valentine fan back in the day. He was a heel. I grew up in the 80's with Hulkamania. I loved Hulk Hogan. Fast forward to being an older guy now. I love Greg way more than Hogan. It's just how life works I guess.
