I remember having a ladder match between Billy Gunn and Al Snow for the Hardcore title.I would use two pieces of string that i thumb tacked to the ceiling and i would put a key chain on the end to hold the belt. During the match the thumbtack gave way and the belt fell down. This was during one of my many ppvs. I had al snow pickup the belt and win the match.
I also remember having the bright idea of having Stone cold come to the ring riding in the back of my monster truck RC car. I had the truck sitting backstage with my other figures. As austin's music hit it drove thru the entrance to the ring. I did not realize that i was so close to the other figures. HBK's hand got caught on the back bumper and i ended up dragging him to the ring (he was ok).The bad part was i was saving that HBK for him to make his offical return the next night on raw. I just added him to the storyline between Austin and Undertaker.

I do remember using a crane attachment that came with my Spiderman Daily Bugle playset on a couple of occasions.

I used to try the weirdest things just to see if they would work. Most of the time i would put tape under the ring just to make sure it would not slip around while having a match.
I would also cut the wwf logo off the packages and use them as either ringskirts or as part of the entrance way.
I used cardboard spray painted either blue or black as the mats on the floor.

I thumbtacked belts to the ceiling as well. One of my most elaborate contraptions and final time I played with my wrestling figures, I made a swinging cage platform held to the ceiling, just like Cage of Death 5. The platform had around 30 strings attaching it to the ceiling and it seemed like with every bump, one of them broke free. It took about 3 days to get it completely set up, for a 10 minute match. In the end, only like 4 cords were still hanging.

I always wanted to have my cage hang above the ring but never did. I also went into what i thought was Great Detail when setting up a ppv arena.
I remember taking 3 different cages and making a 3 tear cage.The bottom cage fell apart during the match and the entire cage fell. Mankind ended up in the 3rd row. I ended up having Mankind win the match and wwf title. He lost it the next night on Raw to Kevin Nash who jumped ship from wcw.

I've thought about starting a fed again (after many failed attempts), but it has nothing to do with WrestleMania this year. This time lol it would be based on active competitors from the WWF in the year 1996. Basically, any WWF wrestler that was around in '96 in some capacity qualifies. Excluding personnel figures, my roster consists of 33 names, including the likes of: Ahmed Johnson, Bret Hart, Brian Pillman, British Bulldog, Crush, Diesel, The Executioner, Farooq, Flash Funk, Goldust, The Godwinns, The Headbangers, HHH, Jeff Jarrett, Jerry Lawler, Justin "Hawk" Bradshaw, Mankind, "Wildman" Marc Mero, Mark Henry, Owen Hart, Razor Ramon, Rocky Maivia, Savio Vega, Shawn Michaels, Sid Justice/Vicious, Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Sultan, Ultimate Warrior, The Undertaker, Vader and Yokozuna. Guys like Billy Gunn and Road Dogg who hadn't established a BCA-ready gimmick by the end of '96 aren't being considered. I don't know what all I would be doing with the fed, meaning if it will text-based or an actual figure fed (pic fed is REALLY doubtful), but my first big PPV/event would probably look like this: 1. Farooq & Crush (more like The APA than The Nation) vs. Sid & Ahmed - Grudge Tag Team Match 2. Owen Hart & British Bulldog vs. Razor Ramon & Savio Vega (a.k.a. "The Bad Guyz") - WWF Tag Team Championship Match (Finals of a Tag Title Tournament?) 3. Yokozuna vs. Vader - Some sort of gimmick match (Bodyslam?) 4. Hunter Hearst Helmsley vs. Rocky Maivia - WWF Intercontinental Championship Match 5. Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Brian Pillman - Street Fight 6. Goldust vs. Ultimate Warrior - Grudge Match (Mankind might be involved in this feud) 7. Diesel vs. The Undertaker - Grudge Match/#1 Contender for WWF Championship 8. Bret Hart vs. Shawn Michaels - WWF Championship Match And that's all I've got for now.

I will be getting back into the fig fed game once i get a few more figures. I use anyone i can from BCA,Toybiz and original ECW figures. My first ppv looks like this so far. (It might change when i add figures). The Godwins vs AMW- Finals of the tag team title tournament. Kevin Nash vs Sid Lance Storm vs Chris Saban vs Owen Hart in a triple Threat match for the IC title. Al Snow vs Hardcore Holly for the Hardcore title. Mike Awesome vs Abyss in a falls count anywhere match Bret Hart vs Shane Douglas for the wwf title. This does not include interviews and other add ons. I will be having Surgery on Friday so with all the down time i will write and fix some storylines. What do you guys think?

I never liked to mix brands of wrestlers, just didnt feel right to me. right now im trying to finish a money in the bank ppv. so far the big matches as of right now are: CM Punk Won RAW's MITB for a chance for the WHC. Shawn Michaels (C) vs Hulk Hogan (Custom BCA) possibly have HBK retain & Punk run in to steal a win at the end. HBK screwed over the NWO (trying to kill it off) to win the belt. Which will lead to the next PPV for HBK vs Hogan loser leaves for good. The whole NWO story started out good but its become a drag. Gonna retire Nash & Hall soon aswell. I just dont care for the Nash figure much.SO after MITB gonna do a Summer Slam type PPV to finish current story lines off and then head on to Royal Rumble then Wrestlemania to get back on track.

^It looks like Series 1 Undertaker legs.
My Main storyline is Bret Hart vs Shane Douglas for the wwf title. That was the last fued i did in my old fig fed. I am trying to pickup where i went off.
I added 2 more matches Vader and the Patriot vs Goldust and a mystery partner Vampiro vs Undertaker

I was going to buy a MOC BCA Kane at a local flea market for $10 but I passed on it. It was just a regular Kane with no "slammers" type articulation. The back carding was sort of light blue I think.
Did I just pass up on something good for a great price?

Did I just pass up on something good for a great price? It sounds like Superstars Series 8 Kane (since it's the only non-Slammers Kane that comes to mind, besides Backlash Series 3 Kane), and if so you're not missing out on a great deal. Series 8 Kane is a good figure, what with the Slammers action feature being removed, but I would not consider $10 a steal for it.

Yeah, that is a good assortment of BCA figures, especially the WMXIV and Best of '98 Series HBK.
Will you open them or leave them MOC?
Because once you open them, it's tough to not want to collect more to fill a loose collection; believe me, I've been there lol.

@chicago, I just opened them up actually. And I already took photos of the white HBK vs. Bulldog, re-doing the One Night Only match, and I also took pics of red HBK vs. Austin, re-doing WM 14. I kept Series 7 Edge MOC (because I am a huge Edge fan, and I already have 2 loose BCA Edge figures) and I kept the Signature Series New Age Outlaws MOC. The rest are all open and on display. I am gonna get some more too, when I get the extra money again. I try to find the best deals possible. Like I snagged the Signature Series NAO and the tag set of the NAO for a total of $11.99 for everything!! Yet, Davey Boy Smith was $15.99 on his own. So some you have to spend a bit I guess if you really want them. Here is a pic of my loose BCA collection though as of right now.
