I didn't get a ring till I was 7, & it broke after only like 2 weeks cuz someone stepped on it. I usually just used a pillow or some Legos to make a ring |

I was probably 10-11 when the first good Hasbro set came out. Got Ultimate Warrior and Hulk Hogan first, but eventually got the whole first set. When I was sixteen, I gave my entire collection to a girl that I liked's little brother (probably 50 figures plus). Then I started over and got to about 60 figures before selling them all at a yard sale. I have a friend that does custom figures too. When I was working as a ref on the indy scene, he made a few of some of the indy guys and they were pretty good.

I took apart an old phone to get the bell out of it and screwed it down on the little plastic table that jutted out of the actual wwf ring for the authentic "Ding-Ding" lol. I also ran matches with the wrestlers mixed in with TMNT figures and Police Academy figures. It's amazing what a child can come up with when locked up in a room just to avoid the dysfunction happening within the household... |

Haha that’s brilliant man, I also used some of the TMNT cast. April was my Miss Elizabeth lol I also used the Dick Tracy figures as managers. That was the one thang that Hasbro sorely lacked on. It’s a shame be because I can easily picture what a Hasbro heenan or jimmy hart could have looked like.

Mine was the Big boss Man who had dropped to a babyface Mid carder by this point. He beat the Macho King randomly after hitting a boss man slam... I still to this day don’t know why I didn’t have savage kick out before 3?! I had him drop the title about 2 weeks later at the survivor series to WCW Galoob newcomer Ric Flair lol I remember the storylines of my childhood federation more than I should. |

My first I can remember was Boss Man, his knees didn't bend and his arms where spring loaded so he could kinda throw people. I never had a title though, and my cousin had just about everyone else and the ring.
EDIT: That might be wrong, I had Hogan and George Steele in those big rubber toys that could flex around but didn't actually have joints. |
