I thought these were pretty cool for a buck each. They are Rockin' Wrestlin' Championships! All four feature Gravediggin' Gene vs Rough Rudy!
There are 2 sets of 2. Two with cape, belt, mic, camera and shirt, and two with chair, hat, shades, trophy and shirt. The accessories in one set are the opposite color of the other set (red cape and blue cape etc).
That white tray they are in is actually a ring, and there are ropes and ring posts. Even though they have the same names, the figures are completely different in the two sets.
It's amazing that they put this much thought into dollar store figures. I always wished Hasbro had made chairs, belts, and camera accessories like these!

Hey, those are neat. Here are bigger Rockin' Wresting Champions figures.  Don't remember all the names, but the Sting knockoff on the right is also called Grave Diggin' Gene. The guy in front of him is Iggy Omega. Don't remember the rest of the names, but I'm pretty sure none of them was called Rough Rudy. Where did you find the small ones? I found them in a dollar store in a mall in La Vale, Maryland in the mid to late nineties. The bigger ones were sold at Dollar Trees in California. |

Mine came from Elmira NY, I think it was a Dollar General in 2001 or 2002. I also got a set of the Mannix Hasbro knockoffs from there. They had a whole wall of them!

necropost!
i had ALL of these rwc figs. DAMN I LOVED THEM!!!!!!!!
my mom loved to shop at the dollar store, so she went on a spreee and bought me one of every fig+a variant.
i used them in my fed at the "invaders". they invaded my wwf and tried to take over and eliminate the big name guys.
gravediggin gene and iggy omega were the only ones who ended up main eventing on a regular basis.
i have actually bought a few new figures resembling these characters so they can re surface in my new fed!

I had these when I was younger. I played with them quite a bit. I really enjoyed them I really wish I still had them. If anyone ever decides to part with there set let me know I'd love to have these guys again.

I used to have Iggy Pop, Gravediggin' Gene, and Johnny Volume.
Bought them at a Dollar Tree YEARS ago.
Johnny Volume and Gravediggin' Gene won my action figure fed's tag team titles once.
