Can you tell me what's written on those papers he's holding?

As was observed if you went to any toy store in the mid to later 2000s. I could see that selling, though I imagine everyone who bought them probably threw one of them away and just pretended the other one was Goldberg. What about those stupid sweating action figures? Did anyone actually own one of those? Someone got me a Maximum Sweat Droz for my birthday when I was a kid. As it was, I'd come to WWF too late to even see a Droz match. Never used the sweat gimmick more than once but because of his proportions and fairly monstrous look he became a behemoth heel. His finisher was to hurl his opponent to the top of the titantron, leap up, then chokeslam them off it. And that's without me having any knowledge of him pushing Hawk off.

I would have taken the accessories and the action figures took a one way trip under my bed. I can't judge though. I played with a doll I made out of crunched up foil.

The closest Walmart to me can't get rid of these guys. Actually 2 sets of these guys. Well that sucks, loved the Natural Disasters.

As was observed if you went to any toy store in the mid to later 2000s. I’m pretty sure I mention this every time these figures get mentioned, but they came out during a period where my younger cousin was just buying every figure they put out regardless of who it was, so the Gymini were bought be at least one person. Whenever we would trade with each other, they were always thrown in on the back end of the deal to get it done. Basically “here’s all the shit you want, and I’ll give you the Gymini so you have some extra bodies as a tag team. They were the Quentin Richardson or Keith Van Horn contract of action figures for us.

I remember buying this Commissioner Sgt. Slaughter from a yard sale in like 2005: They had a Jackal figure too, but I couldn’t even muster up the enthusiasm for that. Couldn’t he at least have a clean shirt?

I love the story in Foley's second book about Dewey getting this for Christmas: He was ten years old, you sick bastards

I got Maximum Sweat Road Dogg for a present at one point. What a stupid gimmick.
Oh, and at the same time i got this thing that was like a foam Rock head which spouted insulting phrases when you squished it a little and then when you really crushed it started making what can only I assume was Rock's impression of the vocalist from the first Smackdown theme.

I started a thread around this time last year and I saw a Cody Rhodes action figure from 2013 at Walmart. It was him with the mustache.
I have to say that I would get some of these for the sake of collecting.

Hypothetically... Maximum Sweat Jinder Mahal. Seriously, you squeeze that thing, and afterwards you could put your finger in a bun and it would pass for a hot dog. And, you can recreate Val Venis's tron, too!

I had the Maximum Sweat Kane with removable mask, except it was just a burnt Undertaker I'm near sure.

A JR figure would always be useful if a kid wanted to do a "JR gets abused in Oklahoma" storyline for their action figure fed.

I had Vince, Okerlund, the ref, Slick, Johnny V, and Blassie figures. How are you supposed to play without a commentator, ref, backstage interviewer or managers?

I would absolutely buy the 'Quake figure if I was still collecting figures.

I'd buy the Dixie figure just to attach her to the leg of a Hulk Hogan action figure.
