Mine would be the night my wife went to Toys R us and called me excit3d and said that they had the debut Mattel line. She literally bought me one of everything. I had a ring and all the figures first night they were put out. Just kicked a$$.

It would have to be the year "Santa" got me the Jakks Hardcore ring for Christmas. Before then, I was using a secondhand version of the original blue Hasbro ring and my collection of Power Rangers to conduct my matches, but this gift was a game changer. Didn't receive any other figs besides the Jim Ross and Earl Hebner that came packaged with the ring but my excitement wasn't dampened. I was satisfied having JR superkick Earl in cowboy boots until my mother took me to our Kmart to pick up one of Jakks's glorious three-packs (Rikishi, Rock, and street clothes Triple H). She bought me another three-pack not too long after that (a Team Extreme with ladders), and as they say, the rest is history.

It's funny, I own about 95% of every character ever made by Jakks or Mattel and yet I have hardly any christmas memories in terms of wrestling figures. I've only gotten them as a gift on Christmas ONE time and it was three figures in my stocking. My brother got me the three pack (BCA) with Cactus Jack, Dude Love and Mankind. So he wrapped them individually and put them in my stocking. I remember I was pretty pumped for those figures. At the time my collection was pretty new and only had like 10 figures (Austin, Andre, Undertaker, Val Venis, Shamrock, Bossman, Road Dogg, Billy Gunn, The Rock and Goldberg I think were my first little bunch of figures).

My first figures for Christmas were the WCW OSFTM figures. I got the Nash-Giant and Sting-DDP 2 packs and the singles of Hogan, Hall and Flair. We had also gotten the PS1 that year but I didn’t care, I just wanted to use the box as a ring

My memories are cloudy but I think it’s when I got the LJN style Ricky Steamboat in ‘86 or ‘87. No other toys mattered after that.

Christmas 1992, I opened a box to find the WWF Hasbro Collector's Case which was awesome, but then when I opened the case itself, inside was Jim the Anvil, Warlord, Virgil and the Mountie!! My dad had found them on a trip to Canada the week prior and grabbed them for me. I had no idea they even existed at that point! Opened another package and it contained Earthquake and Typhoon! Was very excited as I could never find those guys anywhere!

I remember getting the Attitude ring with launchers, the Off The Mat 4 pack w/ belts(weird figs, but at least you got the main belts), and the Reload Metallica CD, must've been 1998? I remember around the same time, I delivered newspapers, so I'd spend Saturday-Sundays watching MST3K, WWF Superstars/WCW Worldwide while rolling and bagging papers and taking 15 minute BCA breaks every now and then.

Way too many to name but opening Jakks BCA series 1 was pretty awesome.

Back around 1990, I got a hasbro ring with a ton of figures. Somewhere I still have a picture of me with the ring, with two figures inside, with the rest standing on the apron surrounding the action.

Only have one memory of getting wresting figures on Christmas. Got the first TTL entrance and some figures that I cant remember exactly which. I remember asking for Jakks Smackdown series 5 Kurt Angle (his first figure ever) and the Ministry Undertaker from that set but didnt get them

Christmas 1991 I remember having a good chunk of the Hasbro WWF line under the tree, including my favorite wrestler, Jake "The Snake" Roberts. My son i'm sure had a good Christmas memory this year as he flipped out when he found that "Santa" had left him an AJ Styles this year.

way back to Hasbro days for me. Ireland hadn't got the Hasbro figs yet but my Ma squared it that my Auntie Anna brought them for me from the U.S. when she was coming home for Christmas.
She brought all of series 1 of Hasbro and the Galoob WCW ring. She gave me Demolition & The Twin Towers when she landed and the rest were under the tree.
F*cking UNREAL. I was blown away........

The WWF Hasbro Jake the Snake was the first wrestling figure I ever owned, my brother got it for me (with our parents money) for my birthday when I was 10 because he new I was afraid of snakes... Still have that figure to this day.
