One of the fun things about using GI Joes for wrestlers was that, when a heel wanted to take out a face, he didn't beat him up and break his arm; he just shot him. I know for a fact I had a gunfight in at least 6 out of every 10 main-event feuds. Everyone came back 2-3 weeks later for revenge.

See, I booked my fed like a real one. Leonardo was my World Champion(after turning on Splinter and getting the tutelage of Shredder). However, every time he would be on the brink of losing the title, he'd do the old switcheroo with Raph. Despite having completely different movesets and wearing different outfits AND wearin different colors, the referee never seemed to notice.
Man, I had a boatload of figs. WWF, WCW, Ninja Turtles. I even had that Ghostbusters football player fig and used it in my feds. Some of my most memorable angles:
Barry Windham(WCW 1990 fig) had lost a 'loser leaves town and gets given to my sister because my mom told me to share' match to Sid(1990 WCW). So, what I did was got out my model kit and gave Barry a very careful paintjob so that it looked as if he were wearing long tights and a mask(this task took DAYS). Anyway, Windham came back and attacked Sid and they feuded over the course of 3 months until my sister finally realized that they were one and the same. f***in' bitch.
The World Heavyweight Title(after Leo finally dropped it and retired to Sisterville..dammit) was in the hands of Butch Reed(WCW 1990). I was hailing him as the fist black champion I ever had when he was beaten in very short time by my newest hiree(read: latest birthday present), THA UNDATAKAH(WWF Hasbro).
Meanwhile, in my current fed(yeah, I still play with toys, wanna fight about it?!) I'm using only WWE Jakks and WWE Jakks Classic figs. My WHC is Kurt Angle and he's involved in a feud with SRS Jericho. It's going to come to a head in a submission cage match where the only way to win is to USE THE CAGE as a submission hold tool.
The US Title is currently held by Hollywood Blond Steve Austin. After he turned on Pillman, he won the title beating Christian. Pillman tried to interfere, but it backfired. Those three will go at it at my next ppv, hardcore style.
The Tag Titles are held by the Natural Disasters, but they're feuding with Vince McMahon and JBL(known as Money Inc. 2.0). Vince has an army behind him, consisting of Mr. Kennedy, Randy ORton, Al Snow and Terry Funk(don't ask....). At the SurSer coming up, McMahon's army will be taking on the likes of The Undertaker, Kane, Cactus Jack and Dreamer.
The Television Title is held by Al Snow. He won it by Vince pretty much creating the title and giving it to him. He's been fed a diet of light challenges, but finally has someone nipping at his heels for the title, The Sandman.
Sadly, I also have a 'dead guy' division. But I'll spare you the details of that one.

Man, this - THIS was fun way back in the day. My parents couldn't afford to just jet out and get me the toys I wanted so, I used to be a crafty lil' dude. My wrestling ring was a piece of wood about a foot squared, with nails nailed into the 4 corners for turnbuckles, and the cords from a broken tent pole as ring ropes. My dad painted it blue, and glued a cardboard WWF logo in the middle of the ring. My title belt was an old broken wristwatch that had a 50 cent piece *Eagle facing outward* for the faceplate, and two dimes reversed for the other two plates. Total cost: .70 cents. I used to have a generic army type guy who sorta looked like the bleach blonde sting, that I used to steal my moms eyeliner pencil to paint his face up. Is that wrong? LOL And Chuck Norris Karate Commando was his tag team partner.
Great times,

I remember the Kane/Undertaker Inferno matches, and I had a decent Yard Sale Collection of Wrestlers at the time, and I was over my Grandpa's and He had a Firepit so i got the Bright Idea to have the guys Wrassle on A lawn chair over the Fire and It was a Royal Rumble match, But the guys were thrown in the Fire. HBK won a good bit of those matches.
Another thing I liked to do was have WWF wrestlers "join" the nWo, with the help of a black Sharpie. I felt High TEch when I got the Smackdown stage that could play the wrestlers music. I usually borrowed my dads Ted Nugent andMolly Hatchet CD's for entrance music

I love this thread. I keep coming back. What was funny is doing worked injuries (Using tape and tissue for the cast look) and legit injuries (figures actually breaking before I fixed them, if I fixed them). i've bought this Wolverine two times over one time his right arm broke at the elbow. I glued it back in a bent position then the figure later broke for good. (He retired) After years searching I found another one (he came out of retirement). Then his back broke after a botched spot (Sidelined while glue dried). He then had the HBK comeback and later had a good run with the world title until Magneto won it back. I even still have the note books that have full card written out in them. That damn near kept me awake in high school. I retired as promoter/gm loooonnnng time ago but I still fantasy book now and again when I get the itch. Since being in my twenties i've had a few reunion shows and I'll pick two random figs that a Marvel Legends and do a match or two since they have the articulation to pull off complex holds. My biggest angles to date was the Spider-Man, Venom, Carnage, Alien Costume, Scarlett Spider, Punisher, Dare Devil super feud. That angle lasted months. Then there was my Marvel vs DC angle. After years of collecting enough DC figs to start a separate promotion I eventually had them go to war with each other. Before the feud Superman turned heel and partnered up with Darksied. Apocalypse and Hulk had to team up for them. But this was before I decided to have a fed made up of misscellaneous figs join the feud made up of random anime figures and street fighter figs. This is back when I thought I made up the cage of death. My favorite feuds from my younger much organized years have to be Storm Shadow vs Snake-Eyes with interferences from Night Creeper, Night Creeper leader, Banzo, Slice, and Dice through out the years of my GI Joe fed Scarlet used to stir up trouble amongst friends man. Also when Ken turned on RYU (When Street Fighter toys were GI Joes). Later the Mortal Kombat figs came out and I mixed them in. Sub Zero proceeded to own everybody. which led to my favorite match of all time: Ryu and Ken vs Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes vs Sub Zero and Scorpion in a thriple threat match for the tag belts. Storms Shadow and Snake Eyes won. Trust me it was hard to pick a winner before hand so I just played it out until I felt winning team should be the two who've had the biggest rivalry in that fed and who would want to see win. Before I sorted out toys my Leader 1 Gobot was the world champion even when I owned other Transformers. This was back when I used to draw belts on paper at school using the schools art supplies and taking them home to use for my toys. This thread is gonna make me pull out the note book and get back to booking matches again.

when I was little I had a couple wresters and it mostly toys, i mainly remember the old Space Ghost toy I found at a garage sale and he would do his talk show Space Ghost Coast 2 Coast in the ring (on the floor) and miracle champion Steve blackman who literally lost three fingers in a flame match vs The Rock, ( i got in trouble with that match), and he got in a fight with Space Ghost and Ghost won the Intercontinental title (only title I had). I used to stay up late as a little kid and watch Space Ghst Coast 2 Coast even though I shouldn't have, I was like 4, 5 or 6

I mainly used Ninja Turtle, He Man and real wrestler figures. I had a few superheroes like Spider Man, Venom, and Batman.
The He Man figures were mostly jobbers. One exception was Ram Man due to his devastating flying headbutt. I had the old WWF ring with the rubberband like ropes so that made it very easy to send him shooting off the ropes like a missle into his opponent. Shredder eventually lost his head from too many of those.
Bebop and Rocksteady were one of my top tag teams and usually held the titles . They had a Foot Soldier as a manager, kind of a Virgil in the nWo type. He was a jobber and not very effective at doing anything but causing distractions or taking beatings for B and R. I never had him turn on them since I figured he was a robot and had to do what they told him.
The Turtles always kicked their ass in the show so I usually let B and R win due to various screwjobs. One time they came very close and pretty much had the belts won until they were stopped by a debuting Slash, who took every single turtle out in the ring and at ringside. After that it took the dream team of Hulk Hogan and Bret Hart to take the belts. I had Hogan legdrop Bebop on the back of the head while he was in the Sharpshooter and he gave up!
I also had Ghostbusters figures but I couldn't see them fighting so they ended up announcers. Ray was face and Venkman was heel. I used their vehicles and the firehouse for gimmick matches. Ecto 1 was used in a kind of stretcher match where the object was to hook the guy up to the winch it had and then drive the car into the kitchen. The most extreme gimmick match I had was the firehouse match. The object was to throw your opponent off the top of the building, and you started at the bottom floor so you had to fight your way up. Jake Roberts won my feds main belt from Randy Savage in such a match. He DDTed Savage off the damn roof! Savages head was ruled as landing first so Jake won in classic devious fashion.

ah the joys of playing with figures as a kid
i had a mix of my left over wwf figures (bret hart, taker, l.o.d, bushwackers), my wcw galoob figures (sting, luger, stieners, arn anderson), a bendable goldberg, a large ddp figure and two power rangers (red mmpr and red zeo) for my roster
for my refs i had two vr troopers, a ghostbuster, batman and a silver and black spiderman with one arm
i used my original wwf ring which my late aunt got me when i was 4, had many problems with the ropes (lost turnbuckle covers, snapped ropes, a tight top rope) and by the time i stored it away i had given it a makeover
i had all sorts of makeshift weapons, including a subbuteo crossbar and my belts were pictures of replicas cut from toy adverts and taped to bendy foam

True story..... I liked to do "on location" PPVs whenever we'd go on vacation, I'd drag a ring so I could say a PPV was taking place from Jacksonville, Florida or Gatlinburg, TN. I dragged a ring and guys down to Florida when we were visiting my Great Aunt and Uncle. I cant remember how old I was but apparently old enough to know better. Apparently my Great Uncle grimaced when he saw my ring and figures.
I didn't know at the time but my dad told me about the face he made and I was embarassed for years. I didn't see them for a long time until recently at a wedding. I had a really good interaction with my Great Uncle at the rehearsal dinner and I finally wore down the embarassment. Unfortunately, he passed away two days after the wedding.....but I felt good to have had that really cool one on on with him that I still cherish.

On a lighter note....
I thought I invented the Snake PIt match. My dad formatted a plywood stage that fit around the ring with a hole in the middle. The wrestlers (Jake the Snake and Kama... a custom figure made from a Big Bossman) would wrestle on the plywood stage until one pushed the other into the hole that the snakes were in.
One of my best storylines involved the World title being vacated and four stars rallying for the title at WM4. Champion Ultimate Warrior lost the title to Macho King at the Royal Rumble. It was later revealed that the Macho King hit the Warrior with a baseball bat sized scepter when the ref wasnt looking. Later on, at an In Your House, Hogan beat Macho King for the title. After this happened, the President of the fed (Zodiak from Masters of the Universe) declared that Macho King won illegally and vacated the title. Million DOllar Man had won the WrestleMania title shot by winning the Royal Rumble. He paid Tower (my version of Diesel) to throw out the last guys and then eliminate himself.
All four claimed a title shot. SO I set up two rings and had two matches going on at the same time. DiBiase vs Hogan and Warrior vs King for round one. Then, the two were paired up at random for round two. Then again if needed. First to win two falls was declared new champion.

Haha i brought it up to my dad because of this thread, and i never even realized he used to watch me have some of these matches. He said one time i made HBK go for a diving elbow off the ceiling and he broke into like 5 pieces. I took his arm and covered the opponent, and then he helped me glue the champ back.

one time his right arm broke at the elbow. I glued it back in a bent position then the figure later broke for good. (He retired) MAJOR MARKING OUT NOW!!! That was one of my wrestlers back in my fed, he was the strongest midcarder I had, he was always booked to be "Close but no cigar" in World Title matches, he broke his right arm too and I couldn't fix him so I had him lose a retirement match where the I held his arm on his body the whole time and then had a spot where it was crushed between steel steps and a chair. Seriously he was suppose to be my Edge.

Seriously he was suppose to be my Edge. wow. that's cool as f*** In a way, but I kinda wanted to give him the World Title, he was IC Champ/US Champ/TV Champ/Silver Champ and I kept track about how many titles he had won. The guy was 8 time Tag Champ, 2 time Hardcore Champ, Silver Champ 4 times, TV Champ twice, a former US Champ and 2 time IC Champ. All he needed was the World Title to become the most decorated superstar in my roster. Hell I even had him win midcard titles that were quickly retired, my version of King of the Ring, a special Battle Royal, made him sole survivor in my "Pokemon Style" match, had him win an Iron Gauntlet, a special Russian Hammer match, undefeated in cage matches, ended two different hosses undefeated streaks, and even won a version of MitB called "TLC Title". He definitely was built as the future.

Ahhh, many, many hours I would spend playing with all my wrestlers, and my big WWF rings. I had both the Raw one, and the other one. I believe it had one of the big 4 on each side. I'd usually switch it up every now & then. The Rock was always in the main event. Facing off against "Evil" Rock, who had Mankind & Kane (And later Abyss) in his corner. Professor X was his manager. Oddly, even though I had like 4 bins filled with wrestlers, I'd only ever play with the kickass plastic body, rubber arm/legged kind. The figs they make today are shit compared to them.
HBK had his face painted with a red sharpie. Used to have dog collar matches with a dog chain. Loved having dumpster/cage matches. Ken Shamrocks head once came off due to a superkick. Man, I miss playing with my wrestlers.
