I been in this game for years, it made me a Animal...




This is by far one of the best vintage WWF tee's on the (Animal) planet!!!! George "The Animal" Steele was quite the characater to say the least. He always wrestled with a green tongue which was the result of eating green Clorettes before his matches and his trademark was ripping apart ring turnbuckles then throwing the stuffing in his opponent's face. His most famous WWF feud was with Randy Savage in 1986. The feud, which centered on Steele's huge crush on Savage's manager, Miss Elizabeth, was originally intended to last three months. However, the "Beauty and the Beast" feud was such a hit it was extended through all of 1986 and into 1987. In 1988, George started carrying a hand-puppet called "Mine" to the ring, which he frequently used during his matches. He would've made a great spokesperson for the PETA organization, dont ya think???

Beware of Bird...




I didnt know Beanie Segal was a wrestler???? I Kid, I Kid!!! Come to think of it Koko B. Ware was the OG Birdman not Baby from Cash Money....betcha never thought of that did ya?!?! Koko made his entrances to the ring dancing to the tune "The Bird" by Morris Day and The Time's, all the while flapping his arms and carrying his pet macaw “Frankie", who sat on a perch at ringside while Koko wrestled. Bright outfits, colorful sunglasses, a constant smile and his trademark vibrato voice instantly made Koko a superstar!!! This amazingly soft, worn to perfection vintage ringer is dated 1987 with the screen stars tag still intact and looking for a new torso, ya dig!

Warriors Don't Cry...





Another must see video for today is The Ultimate Warrior on Arsenio Hall back in 1990. Dude is completley out of his mind (Cocaine is a hell of a drug) and Arseino looks like he's about to piss his pants! Wrestlemania XXVI is this month (March 28th) and we have a bunch of dope vintage WWF gear in stock including the sweatshirt above. If the Iron Shiek see's this post he might have a heart attack!!!!

As Seen On...






The Rockers wearing their signature t-shirts on the cover WWF magazine and during a 1989 match against the The Rougeau Brothers. The feud began when the Rockers debuted a new theme song for themselves with them singing (this new theme was soon dropped, however). The Rougeaus claimed that the Rockers were "copycats," and hit Marty Jannetty in the throat with Jimmy Hart's megaphone. The teams feuded over the summer of 1989, producing many excellent, raved-about matches. At SummerSlam 89, the Rougeaus teamed with fellow Canadian Rick Martel, defeating the Rockers and Tito Santana in a six-man tag team match.

Cage Match...




WrestleMania 2 was the second annual professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by the WWF. It took place on April 7, 1986 at three venues: the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York, the Rosemont Horizon in Rosemont, Illinois, and the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena in Los Angeles, California. The main event at Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena was a WWF Championship match where Hulk Hogan defeated King Kong Bundy in a steel cage match to retain the title.

As Seen On...





If this isnt one of the dopest As Seen On pics than I dont know what is! Perry participated in a World Wrestling Federation battle royal at WrestleMania 2 in Rosemont, Illinois. Unfortunately we dont have the shirt in stock anymore and the picture is pretty old as you can see by the manequin which I used before the now famous hardwood floor pics!

I was debating between a Breitling, Bell & Ross or Rolex but decided to go with the Nelsonic!! Nelsonic is one of the most reputable watch makers out there and the quality is bar none!!! Jay Z and his Audemars Piguet Offshore Chronograph got nothing on this beauty! This is an amazing 5 function (hour, minute, month, date and seconds) LCD quartz watch with a flip open face.........in other words John Mayer would be jealous!! Nelsonic also made several watch games based on popular arcade games back in the 80s/90s and you check some out HERE

outLINEd in CHALK...






There are 2 versions of the vintage Hulk Hogan Chalk Line jacket. I recently SOLD the more common version while the one shown above is super rare. In all my years of collecting Chalk Line jackets I have never seen another one of these so that says something. Buying this jacket might give you super powers which will allow you to body slam people that weigh up to 540lbs (Andre the Giant) but dont come holler at me if you try that and get a hernia! The jacket is a sz Large and is in MINT condition just waiting for someone to get their Hulkamania on!

24" Pythons...





Vintage 1989 Hogan t-shirt, sz Large, brand new without tags.......NUFF SAID!

El Capitano...




Captain Lou Albano passed away today at the age of 76. With an over-the-top personality and a penchant for boisterous declarations, "Captain" Lou Albano was the epitome of the antagonistic manager that raised the ire of wrestlers and incited the anger of spectators. Throughout his 42-year career, Albano guided 15 different tag teams and four singles competitors to championship gold. A unique showman, with an elongated beard, rubber band facial piercings, and loud outfits, he was the forefather of the 1980s Rock 'n' Wrestling Connection. Collaborating with Cyndi Lauper, Albano helped usher in wrestling's crossover success with a mainstream audience. Capitalizing on his success, he later ventured into Hollywood with various television, film, and music projects. P.S. We have the shirt above for sale in our eBay store

Ice Cream Man...



Holy moly talk about a blast from the past! I just saw this ad and I literally had flashbacks (not from hallucinogens either) of eating these when I was younger. This wasn't just any old ice cream bar rather an amazing concoction of goodness. It was a vanilla soft cookie wafer, imprinted with a WWF star, a thick layer of vanilla ice cream and a thin layer of chocolate underneath, all on a stick. I havent had one in over 10 years and at that point in time, each bar came with a WWF Superstars trading card! Sure, the wrestlers etched onto the cookie top have changed over the years, but there's always been that deicious treat underneath! I havent had one of these in about 10years and someone said they are still available, can anyone confirm that?? P.S. Take it from the "Mouth." Once you lick 'em, you're gonna love em,'!!!

Going Once, Going Twice...



First the Xavier McDaniel Chalk Line and now the Undertaker......what am I gonna do with myself. Yesterday we sold one of the best vintage WWF Chalk Line jackets ever, the Undertaker!!! I had this jacket for about a year and priced it super high just so it wouldn't sell and I could gaze at it every waking moment. Once I moved out here I decided to lower the price to $300 and it didn't take long for someone to scoop it up! My personal favorite WWF chalk line is the Macho Man one but this was a close 2nd and although I'm sad to see it go it went to a good home!

Match Worn...


I just randomly came across this AUCTION from last year for a Randy "Macho" Man Savage Match-Worn WWF Outfit that sold for $1,112.

Before he was a wrestling icon, Macho Man Randy Savage had aspirations for a big league baseball career. Randy Poffo gained instant notoriety when he joined forces with his wife, Miss Elizabeth, and went to the top of the WWF mountain. Savage's crowning moment came when he beat Ted DiBiase in WrestleMania IV to secure the heavyweight belt. This colorful ring-used jacket was worn by Savage in the early '90s given its interesting array of fluorescent colors. Hot pink, neon yellow and bright orange became the craze in the early portion of the decade. The offered zip up jacket features pink, yellow, orange and green stripes set against a black and white background. Savage wore this style when he was feuding with Dusty Rhodes and his sidekick Sapphire. Twenty-two separate neon streamers (nearly four feet long apiece) are sewn under each arm for added effect. The collar features four pertinent tags: fabric, washing instructions, "On Stage Designed by Michael & Toni" and size "XXL." The first "X" on the size flag tag is written in black marker. The winner will be forwarded an issue of WWF Magazine signed by the Macho Man which shows him wearing this outfit. Also included will be an LOA signed by Macho Man which says this is, indeed, one of his ring-used jackets. Savage also signed the jacket in black felt tip.

Macho Macho Man...





I just listed a bunch of vintage WWF tees on auction including this Macho Man tee. This tee is dated 1992 an all over print graphic of Randy Savage doing his signature pose in front of a packed arena. If the Iron Shiek saw this shirt he might have a heart attack (Howard Stern reference), hahaha. The starting bid is $19.99 so dont wait till its to late, place your bid now!
