I DON'T REALLY WATCH WRESTLING BUT LITERALLY EVERYONE I FOLLOW ON TWITTER DOES SO I NOW HAVE OPINIONS ON THE MATTER. THESE CARDS ARE MOSTLY FROM WHAT WILL NOW BE CALLED THE MOSSI DIME BOX. ENJOY THE SCRIPTED GRAPPLING PERFORMANCE ENTERTAINMENT CARDS
UM... I MEAN
1989 CLASSIC WWF ANDRE THE GIANT
I DON'T NEED TO TALK ABOUT ANDRE. EVERYONE LOVES ANDRE. LET'S TALK ABOUT THE CARD
NEVER EVER SAW THIS SET BEFORE A COUPLE YEARS AGO. ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE UNIQUE LOGOS FOR EACH WRASSLER. THE PICTURE QUALITY IS PRETTY GOOD TOO
AM IN LOVE WITH THE MINIMALIST BACKS TOO. BIG BOLD HIGH-CONTRAST CARD NUMBER. ANDRE'S NAME IS TRADEMARKED BECAUSE OF COURSE IT IS. NO LIKES, ONLY HATES. I LOVE THAT ANDRE HATES DAMIEN THE PYTHON. THIS CARD IS WONDERFUL
1987 TOPPS WRESTLEMANIA III GEORGE "THE ANIMAL" STEELE STICKER
TOR JOHNSON!!! GEORGE SHOULDA STARRED IN A REMAKE OF THE BEAST FROM YUCCA FLATS, IT WOULDA BEEN A HOOT. I BOUGHT A BOX OF WRESTLEMANIA III CARDS BACK IN THE '80S BECAUSE IT WAS CHEAP SO I ALREADY HAVE THIS CARD. YEAH I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A CHEAP BASTARD, IT WAS A FUN RIP FOR 7 1980S DOLLARS. I DIDN'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT WRESTLING AT THE TIME OTHER THAN THE AFOREMENTIONED SNAKE AND ANDRE AND A FEW OTHER THINGS BUT I DID REMEMBER LAUGHING AT GEORGE CHEWING ON THE TURNBUCKLES. HE'S NOW IN MY SMALL CIRCLE OF FAVE WRESTLERS, AS IS EVERYONE IN THIS POST
1991 CHAMPIONSHIP MARKETING WCW "NATURE BOY" RICK FLAIR
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1990 i have no idea what this thing is MACHO KING RANDY SAVAGE
2016 TOPPS WWE BATISTA
I HAVE NEVER SEEN DAVE BAUTISTA DO ANYTHING WRESTLING RELATED EVER BUT I FUCKIN' LOVE SPECTRE AND HIS CHARACTER IN THE GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY MOVIES MAKES ME LAUGH MOST OUT OF THE CREW AND I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING MORE MOVIES WHERE HE PLAYS BIG GRUMPY HEART OF GOLD CHARACTER TYPES. I FOUND THIS CARD AT THE LAST MINUTE AND PANICKED AND FORGOT TO ROTATE THE SCAN BUT WHO CARES. THE 2016 TOPPS DESIGN LOOKS BETTER ON WRESTLING CARDS BECAUSE THEY ACTUALLY USE PYROTECHNICS AND SMOKE MACHINES OCCASIONALLY.
THAT FUCKIN' FIGHT SCENE IN THE TRAIN THOUGH!!! SPECTRE IS AWESOME, SCREW THE BOND SNOBS
ENJOY READING THIS AFTER THE BIG WRASSLIN SHOW BECAUSE I WAS LAZY THIS MORNING AND DIDN'T WRITE!

Great cards. Ric Flair bringing it. Andre the Giant. George the Animal Steele. Fun stuff .
Love the George the Animal Steele sticker! Just showed off my Steamboat from that set today.
Great post !! I’m very much glad to find this article, this blog has been my gateway to information
I met Batista at the airport in El Paso once. It was before he was a big deal. He was still HHH's lackey. He was flying with Tatanka, (guy dressed like an indian) and the guy who wore a dress in the ring. (he also wore it on the plane) Batista was in a suit so walking up he didn't even look that big. Up close he was a giant, just a huge huge man. This was before cell phones with cameras so I just talked to him for a bit and now have that story to tell.
