... especially if the toys are ill-suited to the task by like, not being wrestling toys, not having many/any articulation, being really lame, etc. I'll start with a photo from the iconic "Hulk Hogan body slams Andre the Giant at Wrestlemania III": Below you can see my painstaking re-creation of this photo, using merely several cassette tapes, a dry-erase board, and two re-issued TimMee Legendary BATTLE Fantasy Figures: (PRO TIP: you can tell the second one is the re-creation because Super Sorcerer is light green, while Hulk Hogan is a healthy burnt umber hue)
Now, this thread's mission:
post your own toy re-creation of this wrestling photo, or post other wrestling photos that crappy-wrestling-toy-reenactors can re-create using only a few toys, paper(?), dry-erase boards(?) and other things found around the house.

Crappy Wrestling Photo Re-Enactment with Random Toys Part II: The QuickeningWho can forget the Steiner Bros / Nasty Boys epic tag-team slobberknocker at Halloween Havoc 1990, aka "Terror Rules This Ring"? And to me, one of the most memorable rest spots moments of that match is where a "BUSTED OPEN!" Jerry Saggs locked in a boston crab on Scott Steiner, and sat there, shouting and shaking his head 'no', as if to say, "he's never gonna get outta this hold!" Well, for those of you who could forget it, here's a photo: and to get to the reason we're in this thread, here's that photo re-enacted with TimMee Legendary Battle immobile hunks of plastic: (featuring Silly Putty on Skull-Sorcerer as 'juice', the clip from a package of hot dog buns to support Super Sorcerer's leg in the appropriate Boston Crab position, and several twist-ties as the foreground ropes...sadly I only had one orange one so I couldn't quite capture the Halloween Havoc orange ropes. Special guest appearance from Bat-Wolfman, playing the role of "Rick Steiner awaiting the hot tag in the corner of the frame")

...this continues to be one of the stupidest things I've done online, which covers a lot of ground and is a proud accomplishment. In the absence of any photo suggestions, I chose "Marty Janetty cowardly jump through being kicked through the barbershop window by that dastardly Shawn Michaels" ...and here's my recreation of that with a slightly lower budget:

It's cool you were able to find a few (first two sets) that match the moves really well.

The real barber shop scene would have been cooler if Michaels wqas dressed like a viking had and held up a battleaxe, honestly. Missed opportunity.

There have been few more emotional wrestling moments in the 200Xs than Shawn Michaels showing his love for a beaten and battered Ric Flair by attempting to give him a facelift using only the bottom of his cowboy boot. And while we all (your author included) get choked up at that closeup on Shawn's face as he says those 3 little words that Men and Heart Break Kids of all ages find so hard to say, if we're talking about wrestling action photos, we probably have to look beyond The Apology and get to...The Kick: And now, here's that same scene, if instead it was Saber Tooth Caveman performing the Legendary Battle's Greatest Dropkick to Super Sorcerer (with a cameo from Bat-Wolfman in the background as Charles "Lil Naich" Robinson)

I decided to use the for real counterparts of these wrestlers in toy form. (Although this one I won't tell you what it is, it's in "guess the famous scene" form.)

I mean, what moment in wrestling WOULDN'T be cooler if folks were dressed up as vikings? Oh, oh god -- I'm so sorry you guys, I didn't see you there I decided to use the for real counterparts of these wrestlers in toy form. (Although this one I won't tell you what it is, it's in "guess the famous scene" form.) Harlem Heat being so much bigger than everyone else is really what sells this one. I don't want to under-sell the Harlem Skyscrapers, but I personally enjoy the position of Davey Boy Smith's hand, because it looks like he's all, "wait guys, let's see where he's going with this..." Why Valhallen, why?!

With the recent Demolition Appreciation Thread, I thought it'd be good to do their tag-team finisher next; So I present to you THE DEMOLITION DECAPITATION: and now, reenacted with Secret Samurai Warrior doing some wire-work* to model the photo of a mid-air elbow drop: *: twist-ties have wire in them, it counts
