I just watched an episode of Prime Time showcasing a card from France in 1988. A great show full of old school wrestling matches. Also, I know you and your taste for wrestling isn't conducive to slower paced matches.

Just put them in a lot on craigslist or ebay. Someone will be hyped to get a deal and youll be hyped to get them off your hands. Cut your losses. Sell ones individually that fetch above MSRP. These threads are depressing. Can you people quietly quit the hobby and not drag the rest of us into it? We didnt buy you too many figures. You and your own addiction did that. Because I'm a sad, lonely human being that literally has no one in my physical life that understands my absolute obsession with professional wrestling or my deep seeded need for figures as a substitute for human companionship, but I recognize the ethical inconsistencies with my addiction and desperately want some form of advice. Blunt enough, for you?

I've simply acquired too many figures, and have to cut back, but most of my figures aren't worth selling or I just don't want to part with them. Does anyone else have stories of cutting back to make room for more figures, quitting collecting, selling figures etc. that they'd like to share?

Does anyone have any advice on Gutting the Triple H figure and replacing his legs? If I can find a way to customize it, then the all of them except Mankind will be on my want list. My only dilemma right now is that I have yet to build a ring, and my room is honestly a little crowded with rings. I guess some of them have got to go.

The fact that the network even exists is still INSANE to me. I've been a subscriber since day one in 2014, and I don't understand how WWE is making money when before they had a chance of at least 10 million people paying 40$ or more per home to see their Pay-Per-View Events. Now people can see all of their content for only 120$ a year. Why in God's name would any wrestling fan not want the network? There's literally something for EVERYONE who enjoys anything that happens in a wrestling ring. I used to buy all of the DVDs I could before the network, but now I can't justify buying any of them, and I don't understand how WWE DVDs are even profitable to WWE or to the second hand sellers/fans selling off their DVDs for various reasons.

Seth Rollins Dean Ambrose Bret Hart Big Show HBK Ric Flair Due out in the Spring of 2018. If true, I'm excited. Well there goes potentially 60$ out of my wallet. I hate how much I like these things.

How does the modern audience perceive wrestlers in the Cruiserweight/Junior Heavyweight division? The question prompting my question is below. "If Finn Balor, who does not weigh over 200 pounds, can be considered a legitimate threat to the Primary/World championship, then who's to say any of the cruiserweights can't become world/universal champion?"

What are some interesting facts about different matches, programs, events etc. that you've noticed, but were not acknowledged by WWE commentary or the discussion panels?
I thought of this after realizing that Austin Aries had to wait 17 years to perform in front of the Wrestlemania crowd. I understand that fact is debatable in terms of its importance, but I for one felt quite happy to finally see Aries get to wrestle in front of the largest crowd of his career after putting forth so much effort.
Any interesting facts or observations anyone would like to contribute?

Aries and Neville are going to put on a clinic in their Submission match. They tied for the best pure wrestling match of the night at WrestleMania with Jericho vs Owens.

Cesaro & Sheamus' reaction there is EXACTLY what's wrong with the way this company books heels.... these guys spent months dominating the tag division, they are two of the strongest guys on the roster, and have had a hell of a year in the ring.... but they get put in a cage match and they start acting like chicken-crap heels, all scared and pissed off they should have stared the Hardy's down and been like " yeah boys, we doing this" Exactly. Sheamus and Cesaro are heads and shoulders above both Matt and Jeff in terms of strength and toughness. The reaction you suggested makes the most sense. My first thought upon hearing Matt's announcement was "Matt and Jeff are in trouble."

You missed a couple of the less popular eras. 1963–1979: WWWF. 1979–1982: Transition. 1982–1993: The Golden Age. 1993–1997: New Generation Era. 1997–2002: The Attitude Era. 2002–2008: Ruthless Aggression Era. 2008–2013: PG Era. 2014–2016: The Reality Era. 2016–Present: The New Era. Based on the active Championship Title Belts at their respective eras, I pick the Ruthless Aggression Era and PG Era. Thank you. Someone who appreciates the other periods as well. I personally would have killed to have worked in the transition period. Many of wrestling's most ingenious bookers and workers were still alive, so there was plenty of opportunities to learn the business at the highest levels and preserve the methods that worked for the last 4 decades. Secondly, I would kidnap Terry Bowlea and cut off one of his legs from the knee down. That way he doesn't become the guy to ruin pro-wrestling. Finally, I buy into WWF and hopefully get hired as a booker.

WWE survives on a combination of nostalgia from when it used to better, stealing other company's stars and ideas, repeating successful storylines an embarassing amount of times, reality television and a complete lack of self awareness. As long as Triple H and Stephanie keep up this formula it will still be successful. John Cena and Nikki Bella's transgender male to female daughter will be doing lingire photoshoots and wrestling comedy matches with a 75 year old Candice Michelle while a hologram of The Rock in his prime hosts Wrestlemania. You can quote me on that. WHY DID YOU TYPE THAT!?!? YOU JUST GAVE THEM THE FINAL PAYOFF OF JOHN CENA'S CAREER!

We saw Andre try to give us a Hogan one last time before hanging it up.
The night was without question a sight to behold in a mixture of positive and controversial occurrences. But nothing can compare with watching the constant of our universe. The truest warrior of us all, lumber back into the darkness from whence he came.
After 27 years raging against the dying of the light. The master of darkness has marched into the night.

Thanks for tagging me! I'll have my ring post up soon! I'd recommend buying cooling racks and metal snips and making guardrails.

How many times have you watched a match, entrance, interview, observed a program/angle where you observed something that could have been simplified or traded for a simpler option that could've gone over significantly better?

Hello everyone! I recently bought John Cena and Brock Lesnar RETRO figures since I couldn't in good conscience play with 20 year old figures that deserve to be preserved. Moving on! I find them quite enjoyable, even compared to basics and elites, they have their own unique charm which I feel justifies my desire to have a small roster of them. I'm planning on building a 14 x 14" ring for them, but I wanted some thoughts on interesting accessories for them. Any custom ideas or suggestion of manufactured items is appreciated. I'll post pictures of the ring as I build it.
I would also like to say how I missed being a part of this great forum.

I had this same idea, but my execution wasn't a 10th as good as this. Great job!
