Anyone possessing or got offered wrestling memorabilia?

[ehead]

I was just curious to see if anyone here actually has in their possession or was once offered a piece of wrestling memorabilia, no matter the era or promotion or anything.

A couple of years ago, I was offered to buy the Inter Species Wrestling Other Species championship belt (as I remember it, they were changing the design of the belt and about to introduce it) but at the time, I was too tight for money and I couldn't afford to buy it. But man, I'm kicking myself because I would now have the perfect spot in my office to display it. A friend of mine also mailed me a wrestling trading card autographed by Jimmy Valiant but I misplaced it somewhere and can't find it anymore, which sucks.

Anyone else got cool stuff to share with the community?

[Can you afford to pay me, Gah]

I don't have anything on the lines of ring worn or something use on a wrestling show, like a title belt, or a piece of table or anything. I mean I have autograph 8 X 10s and stuff like that. My coolest piece is more the backstory. I have a PPV chair from Extreme Roles 2019, which a lot of people who get floor sets get PPV chair. However this chair was gifted to me by Lita who I became good friends with over the last couple years, thanks to the pandemic and twitch. I was involved in a Twitch party she was hosting. We where raising money for charity. So the rule was if you win a prize by donating. You still had to cover shipping. So all the money from the donation went to the charity. The person who one the chair decided he didn't want to pay that since it would bee shipping from the US to the UK. Thought nothing of it. A month later she messages me asking if I want it if I paid the shipping. I'm like sure. So I ended up with it.

I have a whole thread on here of everything I’ve got, but setting aside signed pictures, programs, books, etc., I have a few things that are a bit more unique.

My favorite is probably Bobby Heenan’s Prime Time sweatshirt, which is also autographed.

I have a ring worn tie signed by Jim Cornette. He was selling them for $3 each just to get rid of them.

I have a couple of checks from Smoky Mountain Wrestling, for Robert Fuller and Ron Wright. They’re signed by them and Cornette.

I have a collection of photos my aunt purchased or took herself at Southeastern shows back in the late ‘70s, and some of those are autographed.

After that, it’s a little more common stuff - photos, books, replica masks, etc. that I got signed over the years. Some of them are signed by guys who didn’t make a lot of convention appearances and have since passed away.

Ony ring used merch I have is the Hoodmark Lucha Libre Heavyweight title. Won by Matt Cross on May 4th 2019.

Hoodmark folded and the co owner offered me the belt for a good price.

Now I got 40 or so signed 8x10s. Huge stack of wrestling books and mags,some signed some not. And at least 15 event posters,some signed some not.

I have one of the arm sleeves Jeff Hardy wore in the dark match after the Smackdown for Jeff Hardy Appreciation Night on Smackdown. I built a shadowbox around it with a photo from the match and signed ticket stubs.

I owned a worn knee pad signed by Honkytonk man but sold it for around what I paid for it ($35-40).

I didn't own but had pieces of ring worn items from Nikolai Volkoff several years ago at my house during a time period I had them listed for sale for him. Nikolai was my friend and I sold some items for him. He had a late 87-early 90 Russian hat, pair of red boots from the 80s, two pair of black boots from the 70s (one pictured in my avatar). He also had three Million Dollar Man property shirts which was a surprise given how short lived the gimmick was. I wore his Russian jacket for a few seconds just to see how it fit (TOO BIG), I wore his Russian hat going to meet some wrestlers at a show. It was a bit too big but the style made it look Ok. I accidently lost that hat at a show when I knocked it out of the jacket trying it on. Some goofball stole it hoping to be a hero later in the show by "finding" it. The only other thing ring worn of his I saw was a custom shirt a fan made. He wore it to a few signings but the only time I saw it being ring worn was a tag match with he and Boris from late 87.

I have the gold chain David Arquette wore to the ring when he had his infamous deathmatch with Nick Gage. I also have a turnbuckle pad from the show signed by Arquette and Gage.

That's awesome! Do you have it shadowboxed or framed?

I do have the turnbuckle pad hanging from my wall, but maybe I should look into a framing option. Thankfully, the signatures were done with a white paint pen that hasn't faded in the slightest in the last few years.

That's awesome - but being you have the chain too, I'd look into getting it all framed together. Maybe also include your ticket stub or a poster/dvd of the event for display purposes. That's something really, really special.

This is coming in the following weeks! 😍 It's my first autograph... 



It's priceless to me. 🤗 Wanted Liv's and Alexa's signatures. Ended up finding a product that has both their signatures @ WWE Auction.

' will make this one the centerpiece of all the posters that I have collected of 'em in my living room.

I do have a poster of the event as well that came with the ringside seat, though strangely, this wouldn't really add much value to the collection because of how David Arquette was a last minute replacement for Joey Ryan, who is actually on the poster in lieu of Arquette. (The poster also features Great Sasuke and Amazing Red, another match that didn't happen because Amazing Red had transportation issues, so of the four wrestlers depicted, two weren't wrestling on the show and one of those guys is canceled as f***.)

I have a CM Punk ring worn shirt that my brother caught at a live event we went to in 2008.

It's the one that has the ribcage on it.

My brother was a great catch.

I met Bret Hart and shook his hand like 5 years ago. Haven’t washed my hand since.

I was at an event where a couple fans were fighting over Ric Flair's bloody bandaid that came off his head. I can only imagine them going home and framing that.

Well tonight I got another piece of ring used Wrestling history.


Years ago in Houma LA Elite championship Wrestling ran shows to big loud drunk crowds of mostly working class cajuns. Big face was Steve Anthony ,who was feuding with Vordell Walker. Steve started calling Vordell "Turtlehead" and then one show Steve made the below and had the head ref/co owner of Elite print it out.



Now this had to be at least 7 years ago it happened. The ring,ring trailer and other stuff BIW has now was bought from Elite. Tonight we were going thru the two really beat up trashcans in the BIW,former ELITE,ring trailer and found it. Some kid asked for it so the BIW owner gave it to him. I saw it and talked to the kid. Offered him credit at my table. And after him looking at everything he got himself a few items,including a Jeff Hardy Elite ,still in the package.

So from when the doors oopened until the crowd left Vordello The Ninja Turtle sat in teh locker room in an empty chair. Tempted to get Vordell and Steve to sign it next time I see them and get it framed.

Did you have a tear in your eye when you shook it?

I said, "With a tear in my eye, this is the greatest moment in my life!" Then he yelled "Put that cigarette out!"
