What did you do when you got new character figures of guys you already had??
For example, if you had Ax, Smash and Crush in the tag division, and you got Repo Man and Hawaiian Crush, did you retire Demolition and not use them, or did you consider them all to be different people??

Well I will be honest, I was a kid when hasbros were around and when it came to having Demo Crush and Hawaiian Crush I wouldn't used Demo Crush. But in cases like Smash to Repo Man, well I was a little too young to realize that it was the same guy, so yes there were times where Repo Man wrestled Demo Smash.

I treated them as separate entities.

I seem to remember one time pulling a water balloon over one of my Hogans' head to make him a generic masked wrestler. Wasn't quite Mr. America

I never got repo as a kid, nor the HBK Shawn. When he turned I just used my Rockers version as a heel. Come to think of it I don't think I got the Hawaiian Crush either. Damn Australian shops!

I barely used Rocker Shawn after I had that awesome HBK figure, but don't remember having much else in the way of new gimmicks. Only because they were tough to find, I don't think I ever saw Kona Crush or Repo in stores because I would have got them.
I preferred Warrior 2 over 1, Macho 1-2 and DiBiase 1-2 I would alternate, Hulk 1 over 2 but 3 over them. For any not mentioned I didn't have the other releases or only had the 1st release.

Depended on the character. If I got a new Warrior, Hogan, Macho Man, Hart or another guy with multiple figures I would use a different version everytime. However with Crush and Smash I'd usually go with Demolition version to fued with LOD.

Most of the time I never realized one was the same. I just played with them and enjoyed it

When the yellow cards came out, I told my Nan I didn't need HBK but Father Christmas brought him anyway and my Rockers Shawn Michaels became 123 Kid.

When I originally played with my Hasbro's, I'd didn't know Smash and Repo Man were the same guy. I did have my favourite for characters that had multiple figures, for example, Warrior #2 as he did the gorilla press and was the best of the Warriors, in my opinion, of course. Also preferred Macho Man #1.
I remember me and my friend drawing a green mask on 'El Matador' to make him 'Man of War' Also Montoya, though...

Rocker Shawn became a chubby jobber just named Bill. Never had Demolition Crush, but Kona Crush would regularly team with Ax and Smash in 6 man tags. Had 2 Samus before getting a Fatu, so second Fatu was Sionne, and the 3 Headshrinkers were regular opponents for the 3 Demolition.
Also at one point had 2 Akeems, who naturally became a tag team of The Akeems. They were basically The Headhunters. Crazy brawls with Rocksteady & Bebop

"Chubby jobber named Bill"! Great memories. I also remember some of my wrestlers taking on other figures, such as MOTU etc. Great stuff.

Also at one point had 2 Akeems, who naturally became a tag team of The Akeems. They were basically The Headhunters. Crazy brawls with Rocksteady & Bebop Awsome, I had at least 2 maybe even 3 (can't remember) Doinks and I would do the sneak attacks and switches when he faced Crush. I had even cut out a hole in the bottom of the ring under the announce desk for the extra Doink to hide out. With Crush, I don't think I would ever have Kona and Demo version in use at once. I can't remember about Repo, I actually don't think I knew he was Smash at the time. But for some reason me and my friends all had heard Smash was Doink. So, I painted my extra Smash figure in Doink paint at some point before the official figure came out. Also had a 2nd Marty Jannetty singles figure with Shawn's head put on to make a cooler looking Rockers set.

How strange, I wonder why/ where that rumour began...

I remember when I got my Hogan #3 figure, I turned Hogan's #1 & #2 into a heel tag team of imposters called "Hulkamania". Their entrance music was the theme from Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n' Wrestling cartoon. They defeated the Bushwackers in the opening content of one of my PPV's before the story line was dropped.

Its the reason why i have 36 feds, so crush and smash demolition is in the fed wwf 90-91, repo man and kona crush in fed wwf 92-93, evil crush if i buy it or find it will be in my fed wwf94-95.
I dont use the same guy in a same fed Another example: Tugboat : fed wwf90-91 Typhoon jakks: fed wwf92-93 Shockmaster : fed wcw92-93 Typhoon hasbro: fed wwf94-95
