I wore that thing out! A friend had one as well, and he'd bring it to my house. We'd have the two-ring matches like they had on pay per view. I had quite a few wrestlers, but they didn't have to be wrestlers. I'd use all kinds of action figures and make up my own names and storylines for them. Some ended up broken, and I'd tape them back together and keep playing. I still haven't worked out the logistics of "The Headless Man", but he had two long reigns as World Heavyweight Champion, nonetheless.

I found that ring and some of the wrestlers at my folk's house a few years ago. All the ropes were stretched, the WWF sticker was worn off, "The Headless Man" was still there, but he didn't have the belt....it was with Jake the Snake.

I got it when I was 12 or so and they were about to win their first super bowl.

I hit a huge growth spurt in 7th grade and the thing barely made it through one cold season. But I was pumped AF to receive it.

Second is a sega genesis.

Stompers were the shite. I had the off-road track, and one of my cousin's had the truck pull kit. Even my uncles would get them and we'd have truck pulls at get-togethers.

Damn I wanted that smash up derby so bad. Probably the only gift I remember wanting that I never got.

We were poor growing up so I always had to focus on the ONE gift I wanted and usually got it and not much else.

Those SSPs were the shite....

I got in trouble when I stuck one in my sisters hair after pulling the rip cord on one of them...
