I used whatever i could find. I remember setting up a bunch of plastic model cars to try and make a replica of the Over the Edge 1998 entrance way. The most work i ever put into an entrance way was for Summerslam 2000 ppv. It took me 3 days to make it and my sister threw it away before the ppv. Thats sucks about her throwing it away before the ppv. But how awesome was it, when you would work on your own entrance like that. I always loved working on entrances or using various light up toys to give lighting effects to my entrances. It was awesome. It was made out of an old box that i painted black with the old wwf logo in the background.

Did anyone else accumulate so much grapple gear that you used random stuff for backstage setup? I remember using a spare announce table in the gorilla position.. I also remember using the steel cage from the attitude ring and the oil barrels and printed out raw is war signs as an interview area.

I did the same thing.I remember having 5 announce tables in my first collection. I would use my spare cage parts for entrance setups at ppvs.I also had enough ladders to make a replica of the King Of The Ring 1999 Entrance.

I even remember my grandma helping me superglue straws together which we then covered with black fabric to make that back dark tunnel leading to the tron. Ahh BCA memories.

I even remember my grandma helping me superglue straws together which we then covered with black fabric to make that back dark tunnel leading to the tron. Ahh BCA memories. That's awesome. As a kid, I never really took the time out to make creative entrances. Besides using the Titan Tron playset, I would use cage pieces from the OSFTM WCW Ring and Jakks Attitude Ring, along with various Jakks accessories/weapons. More power to those of you who did think creatively and would go all-out with your entrances; I felt like a grand wizard just by assembling a few poorly-constructed breakaway cardboard tables for my figures. Still, the simplicity of it all is what made it enjoyable, not necessarily needing a fully-detailed real scale arena set-up.

Yeah.. Lets just say Ive always been a huge fan of accesories and playsets .lol. If they werent made at all by toy companies.. then I wouldnt be as much of a collector as I am if that makes any sense.

I tried to make every ppv i did in my fig fed feel like it was a Wrestlemania.
I remember setting up 3 rings in the middle of the floor for my world war 3 ppv.It must have taken me all day to make sure everything was in the right spot.
The main event was a 60 man battle royal and the winner became the new wwf champion.I would randomly draw a name from the pile and that superstar would enter the ring.Some how i got mixed up and had the Patriot end up winning the match.The next night on Raw i had Shane Douglas beat him in a quick match for the title.

^ Hahaha, the Patriot wins by accident ![:P](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/tongue.gif) Here's a thought - has anyone ever ret-conned things from their fed? For example, like fallbrawl was saying, had an "accident" that you would go back and re-enact? Or maybe you'd just let it go, and use it to progress a storyline? Like for example, let's say you were having a royal rumble. If you wanted Undertaker to throw out Shawn Michaels, but somehow your hands fumbled and Undertaker got thrown out. Would you let it happen and be like "Undertaker was eliminated too! Good God Almighty!" or would you go "back in time" and re-do the spot? I guess I'm wondering how fallbrawl managed to "accidentally" have Patriot win ![:P](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/tongue.gif)

I had many accidental happenings when playing with the BCA figures. Example was Christmas Day 1999. Edge vs. HBK for the WWE Title. I had it that Edge and HBK were faces and HBK was mentoring Edge. At the Halloween Day Show, HBK beat Edge to retain the IC Title in a friendly match. Well, HBK ended up going heel and winning the WWE Title, thus giving a feud with him and Edge. Edge faced HBK for the WWE Title on Christmas Day Show in a cage and when he superplexed HBK off the cage he landed on his leg awkwardly. Now clearly if it was real life, Edge would be injured. So I had Edge win the title anyhow, only to lose it the next day on 'Raw' to Triple H in a match.
So yes, even when I would mess up a spot with my figs and the guy landed wrong, I still portrayed it as a f*ck up and the guy was indeed injured. I never tried to ignore things or re-do spots. I was true to the figures and the action they put their little plastic bodies through! haha

But when Kane went to throw the Patriot out his leg got caught on the top rope and Kane fell to the floor. While the Patriot was hanging on for dear life.lol.

Well, in that case, it obviously meant more to The Patriot. ![;)](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/wink.gif) What about in the case of injuries? Did it have to be a legit figure injury for your BCA figures to be "written out of storylines" or would you make up random excuses to replace them with a new figure (what with there being so many repaints and new sculpts in the BCA line)?

That I did do from time to time. The one I remember most was "injuring" Undertaker (from the WMXIV box set) and building up to his return, which would take place whenever the new wave hit and I finally got the superior figure from Superstars 7.

That reminds me of how I would do Royal Rumbles. I would write down every particepants name on little strips of paper and put the in the dumpster that came with the Daily Bugle playset. I would randomly draw the names out as I would have my Royal Rumble. There would be a few wrestlers that I would send in a predetermined times for storyline purposes, but most would be completely at random. One cool thing that I would to is the Royal Rumble Wild Card match. I think WWF did this one year with HHH vs Duke Droese. When wrestlers would draw their numbers, there would be 28 numbers and 2 blank papers. The 2 wrestlers that drew the blank numbers would wrestle in the opening match of the night. The winner would then enter the Royal Rumble at number 30 and the loser would enter at number 1. I did this every year, and wish WWF would have kept doing it.

If I did something and then afterwards wish either I hadn't done it or had done it different, I just left it how it was and kept rolling with it. I knew it was just me playing with them, but I did it like it would insult my non existing audiences intelligence if I had pretended it didn't happen or redid something lol Well, in that case, it obviously meant more to The Patriot. ![;)](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/wink.gif) What about in the case of injuries? Did it have to be a legit figure injury for your BCA figures to be "written out of storylines" or would you make up random excuses to replace them with a new figure (what with there being so many repaints and new sculpts in the BCA line)? most of the time if I was getting a newer version, they would be written off tv for awhile, but sometimes i would just switch them, depending on if i had the patience to wait on playing with the new figure or if I wanted to make a big deal about them coming back looking different. I remember running a storyline where Vader had injured his knee and used the Steve Austin knee brace on my Vader from then on.

I always played all of my ppvs "LIVE".I would never redo anything.
I remember writing HBK out of my storylines when the leg fell off my series 2 figure.He then came back one year later to fued with Goldust.
I wrote the Undertaker out of my storylines when the series 7 one came out.I wanted to do a big return for him so i made him lose a buried alive match to Steve Austin.3 months later Undertaker made his return when he attacked Austin before his wwf title match with Sid.

A couple of old adverts I thought might be of interest... ![](http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a332/lego_customs/th_advert1.jpg) ![](http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a332/lego_customs/th_advert2.jpg) Click them for the full sized image. Edit: It looks like Photobucket has scaled the pictures down quite a bit, the original versions are large enough to see everything in clear detail.
