King Kong Bundy (I have two mattels in this pic. One w/the shirt and one without.) I am missing the LJN Stretch. Special Delivery Jones Pretty sure these are the only two.

I've been to 38 wrestling shows in my life with the vast majority being WWF/WWE. Here are the best main events I've seen. Curious about the best shows you guys have seen. (Oh, and I have pics that I took from almost all of these shows if you are interested in seeing any).
WWF: 1. Hulk Hogan vs. Randy Savage - House show in 1987 for the title. Liz was with Randy. 2. Hulk Hogan vs. Triple H (#1 Contender's Match, Smackdown) - 2002. Hogan & HHH "tied" in a battle royal to kick off the show, so this was setup as the main event. Sat front row center. Amazing to see these two square off that close. 3. Randy Savage & Strike Force vs. Honky Tonk Man & Hart Foundation in a Steel Cage - 1988. Savage, Santana, Martel, Honkytonk, Bret & Neidhart in a cage. Pretty great lineup and the first cage match I ever saw. 4. Triple H vs. Chris Jericho (Triple H wins the IC Title, Smackdown) - 2001. Was shocked to see the title change. This was two days after WM17. 5. Steve Austin (Champ) & Triple H (IC Champ) vs. Kane & Undertaker (Tag Champs) - 2001 house show. Fun match with all of the champs. 6. Junkyard Dog vs. Nikolai Volkoff - 1987. First WWF show I ever got to go to. Slick was w/Volkoff. Was advertised as Duggan & JYD vs. Sheik & Volkoff, but Duggan & Sheik got fired a few weeks before this show. 7. Rock & Kane vs. Kurt Angle & Chris Jericho (Raw) - Great names in this one, but no real story. 8. Jerry Lawler & Jim Ross vs. William Regal & Lance Storm (Raw) - 2002. Fun because JR is from here, but c'mon. Dudley Boyz helped Lawler & JR to the win.
WWE: 1. John Cena vs. Seth Rollins (Raw, Cena gets his nose broken legit) - 2015. This was a great match. 2. Triple H vs. Roman Reigns (Reigns wins the title, Wrestlemania 32) - Don't care too much for Roman, but the Main Event at Wrestlemania is hard to beat in person. 3. The Royal Rumble (Orton wins, 2017) - While I was disappointed in this show, it was still cool to see a Rumble, finally. Only time I've seen Goldberg in person, so that was cool too. 4. Kurt Angle vs. John Cena (Unforgiven 05) - First PPV I'd ever been to. These guys can both go. 5. Kurt Angle vs. Eddie Guerrero (Lumberjack Match, Surprise return of Big Show, Smackdown) - 2004. Who wouldn't want to see these two in their prime? 6. John Cena vs. Edge (Saturday Night's Main Event) - 2006. Good feud. 7. John Cena vs. Edge (Raw, Dark) - 2005. 8. Randy Orton vs. Roman Reigns (Street Fight, Guest Ref Ric Flair) - 2014. Flair was a nice surprise for a house show. 9. Chris Jericho, Chris Benoit & Randy Orton vs. Triple H, Batista & Edge (Raw, Dark) - 2005. Lots of big names. 10. Dean Ambrose vs. AJ Styles (Streetfight) - 2016. House show for the title. They put on a good show. 11. Dean Ambrose vs. Kevin Owens - 2016. House show. Got to take my son to meek Owens the next morning due to a mutual friend. He was so great with my son. Big fan of his because of this. 12. Seth Rollins & Kevin Owens vs. Cesaro & Dean Ambrose (Smackdown) - 2015. Sat front row. Match was nothing to write home about. 13. Seth Rollins & Big Show vs. Ryback & Erick Rowan (Smackdown) - 2014. My son's first Smackdown, so super fun. Pretty rough main event though. 14. CM Punk & Sheamus vs. Miz & R-Truth (Raw) 2011. Just wasn't into this one at all.
NXT: Samoa Joe & Tye Dillinger vs. Finn Balor & Shinsuke Nakamura - 2016. Front row, so that was fun. My son got to hug Bayley. Nakamura is awesome.
Others
WCW: Vader vs. Sting Jake Roberts & Rick Rude vs. Sting & Nikita Koloff
UWF: Steve Williams vs. Big Bubba Rogers (Dr. Death wins the title, Dusty Rhodes bullroped to Skandor Akbar during match) Ric Flair vs. Jimmy Garvin Steve Williams vs. Terry Gordy Steve Williams vs. One Man Gang
CSWA: Porkchop Cash & Ken Timbs vs. Bart Batten & Ric McCord
Indy Shows: Matt & Jeff Hardy vs. War Machine Matt Hardy vs. Alberto Del Rio X-Pac & Billy Gunn w/Kevin Nash vs. Moose & Local Guy X-Pac & Scott Steiner w/Scott Hall vs. Local Guys Kamala vs. Local Guy Vader vs. Local Guy Honky Tonk Man vs. Local Guy Doink vs. Local Guy

Again, trying to get all of the figures of these guys. See if you notice any missing that I haven't accounted for. "Dr. Death" Steve Williams has a couple of Japanese figures that I know of that I do not have yet I think this is all of Terry Gordy I think this is all of Buddy Roberts I think this is all of Terry Taylor Ted Dibiase has 5 that I know of that I don't have yet. LJN, Miniature Hasbro Royal Rumble, Jakks Ring Giants, Mattel Entrance Greats & Tonka Wrestling Buddies. There is one custom UWF style in this lot. Let me know if I've missed any.

The tall ones are his LJN figures. The suit is a custom, as he was on the Spanish commentary team for a time after he stopped wrestling for WWF. Cool. I forgot that he had two LJNs. I'm guessing one from Strike Force and one from his singles run? That is correct.

Impressive. I had no idea Tito had this many figures. I would have guessed like four, tops. I'm glad to see he's getting a little more recognition. He seems to be largely forgotten. But why does he a figure with him in a suit? What are the those two figures in the background, the tall ones? Are they LJNs? never seen that orange trunks one before. cool unique collection, must be a first. That one and the bloody figure with the white trucks are from the Legends of Wrestling line that was done for a few years by a company that can't be mentioned here. They do ROH's figs now. The tall ones are his LJN figures. The suit is a custom, as he was on the Spanish commentary team for a time after he stopped wrestling for WWF.

I've never seen that Jakks CS fig you have with the red knee pads and shorter hair. IS that a custom? Looks great. where'd it come from? Thanks! It's a pretty simple custom. Just the CS version w/red kneepads & a haircut. I needed a Wrestlemania I Tito. He was in the first match, which is pretty cool. Just wish there as an Executioner figure.

I am picking guys from my era (85-92) that I want to get every figure ever made. I am well on my way and will be sharing them, by wrestler, from time to time. I know some of the Jakks Employee exclusives, etc. will be tough, but that's what makes it fun. My question, and purpose for posting these, is this: Can anyone think of a Tito Santana figure that you don't see pictured here? There are a couple of customs here, but I think I have every "original" Tito here. If you can think of any, and I mean ANY (bootleg, something unique to outside of the U.S., etc.), let me know! Thanks.

The packaging is wrong for Cena. That match was at the 2017 Royal Rumble.
**Edit** I see that others have already pointed this out.

Dude first of all good work. Second of all, you saw Doc vs. Gordy live?! I did. It was a UWF TV Taping. It was one of those "time ran out" matches where there wasn't really a finish, just chaos. The thing I remember most about that show was a fan jumped the barricade and attacked One Man Gang as he was leaving the ring. The fan got the hell beat out of him.

So, I had this idea to make vintage looking wrestling posters for every show I had been to. It's been a fun project and I wanted to share a few of them with you. They are 19 inches tall and 13 inches wide and I am going to post them in order of the show date. Hope you guys like them. Those are the first three I went to. I will share more later.

Can't believe no one mentioned the cage match between Hulk & Orndorff. That feud was awesome for fans at that time and it didn't get to blow off on a PPV. It did get The Big Event in Canada, but that was a made for VHS deal. When they hit the ground at the same time, my young mind had no idea how they were going to fix it. I legit thought Orndorff might take the title that night. Loved that match.

Hey guys, Long time lurker. Used to collect years ago, but got out. However, my son pulled me back in when he got into today's WWE. I love the 1985-92 era, so I will be concentrating on that area. Had the idea to create guys in their attire from major WWE shows. I hope to get more adventurous, but stayed pretty simple for the first go 'round. So, here is my first stab at it. The evolution of Tito Santana. Left is Wrestlemania 1 (just shortened hair and red knee pads). Middle is Saturday Night's Main Event from October of 1985 (just shortened hair and added the white/red elbow pad and red knee pads). Right is Wrestlemania 2 (just shortened hair and added the white/red elbow pads and red knee pads). Left is Saturday Night's Main Event from February of 1987 (just swapped out red knee pads). Middle is Wrestlemania 3. Right the Strike Force in ring look (just swapped a torso for the shirtless look). Left is Survivor Series 1991 (just changed the wrist tape to green). Middle is Wrestlemania 9 (dark match). Right is Spanish Commentator Tito.

6-6-2002. I don't know what constitutes classic, but if it involves Hogan, it's classic in my book. I got to sit on the front row for Smackdown in OKC on this date. The show kicked off w/a 20 man battle royal to determine the #1 contender. Hulk & HHH were the final two and they hit the floor at the same time. So, they had a 1 on 1 match later that night. To my knowledge, they only had two matches vs. each other. Pretty cool night. Here are some shots from those two matches and the bonus aftermath. HHH arriving for the battle royal Hogan arriving for the battle royal Hogan squaring off w/Kurt Angle during the battle royal Hulk arriving for the rematch HHH coming out for the rematch The match HHH won and then they shook hands and posed for the crowd After they posed down, and Smackdown ended, The Undertaker came through the crowd and attacked HHH. I've got more photos from this show if you guys want to see them.

Online results say it was a draw.

Those are great dixol. WWF never did a TV taping in Oklahoma until Raw in the late 90's. You got to see some good matches that night. The return of Snuka after 4 years gone. Warrior vs. Savage. Hulk vs. Bossman. Rockers vs. Arn & Tully. Good stuff!

A few randoms. I have a lot more from these shows, but they aren't very good: January 25, 1987 UWF TV Taping in Oklahoma City Terry Gordy vs. Dr. Death Steve Williams w/Sunshine at ringside (the thing I most remember about this show, which was the first wrestling show I ever went to, was that a man came over the rails and attacked the One Mang Gang as he was leaving the ring) March 3, 1987 UWF House Show in OKC Michael Hayes beating up One Man Gang w/Steve Cox down in the ring Savannah Jack vs. Iceman King Parsons in a leather strap match Eddie Gilbert Baby Doll vs. Sunshine November 5, 1987 Central States Wrestling Association House Show in Wichita, KS Karate Kid vs. Little Tokyo (Little Tokyo was in Wrestlemania III). Was visiting family and my uncle took me to this show. Rufus "Freight Train" Jones, Bulldog Bob Brown, Porkchop Cash, Earthquake Ferris were some of the guys on the show
