2012 Topps WWE Heritage



Did not go after a box yet but picked up some hot packs. Bought two relic jumbo hot packs and an autograph hot pack. Pretty happy with the results.

Daniel Bryan Relic (one of our favorites)
Zack Ryder Relic
I.R.S. autograph

There are some nice autos in this series and we are pretty happy getting an older star like I.R.S. Who can forget the tag team Money, Inc., couple of great heels. Check out more info about this set by wrestlingtradingcards.com. Check out Amazon to pick some up.

2012 Leaf Originals Wrestling Addition



We added this puppy to our collection, winning an eBay auction. What can we say, we loved Jake the Snake and his recent appearance of the Art of Wrestling's podcast inspired us. Check out Amazon for some buying options.

Bam! It's Bernie - WWF Wrestling Legends Minimalist Series

Found a cool designer on Etsy doing some great wrestling designs, Bam! It's Bernie. At first he had some minimalist designed posters featuring Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, Macho Man Randy Savage, & The Ultimate Warrior which all looked great. Then from the posters came the t-shirts. We love t-shirts.

We had to get our hands on a Macho Man shirt. Bright orange color, cool design, sure to be a head turner. We ordered it pre-sale and happy to report the shirt came relatively fast and in perfect condition. The shirt has a nice material, not hard, not gritty. We hope to see some more cool things from Bernie (mind if we call you that , or should it be Bam!), so make sure you support this designer.

Bam! It's Bernie for his designs and give him a follow on twitter.com.

WWE: CM Punk - Best in the World

Photo courtesy of Amazon

It came out in October, but we just got. This is probably the best doc we have seen from WWE. There are a couple of reasons why.

MUSIC: CM Punk hand picked the music to use. this is real punk music, not those generic studio tracks the WWE likes have. Soundtracks can make or break a movie.

STORY: This is real life, underdog, should not have made it, from Indy Wrestler to being Champion of the World. The doc starts out in the early backyard wrestling life, through the Indies, Summer of Punk, Punk almost leaving WWE to being on top of the world. They covered it all.

INDY WRESTLING: Lots of great footage. Not sure WWE has ever done this before, showing so much indy footage. CM Punk in IWA, ROH, wrestling with Colt Cabana, Chris Hero, Samoa Joe, there is just tons of footage. We haven't checked out the extras yet but I am sure we should be pleased.

This would make a great gift as the holidays are upon us. So pick one up today.

Finished All AOW Episodes

It happened. We did it. Back in September we started catching up listening to the AOW podcast. Last week, we finished listening to all the episodes. That was a lot of wrestling. Thanks Colt.
