| Welcome Everyone to Rocket's Wrestling Figures. This site is dedicated to a hobby I've had over the past few years - wrestling figures collecting. I've been a wrestling fan most of my life and have come to realize it's something I'll never outgrow. Over the years, I've enjoyed the work of some of the most under-appreciated entertainers in the world - the professional wrestlers. While most non-fans criticize the business "because it's fake", I truly respect these guys for busting their butts every night to give crowds some great shows. While some may see my hobby as "kids-stuff", I look at wrestling figures a bit differently. I don't see them as just "toys". I see them as a tribute, or trophy, to the wrestlers' hard work. |

My personal collecting style differs a bit from most. Many collectors try to get every figure from a particular line. Once they've accomplished that, they move on to another line of figures. I'm a bit different. Figure "lines" don't really mean anything to me. I only collect figures of wrestlers I like. You won't find any Hulk Hogans or Road Doggs in my collection. I've also been known to pick up figures which I think are very unique. International figures from Mexico and Japan fall under this category. I have one more criteria - I only collect MOC (mint on card) figures. I'm pretty particular about the condition of the figures I buy, so the only way to be assurred I'm buying a "mint" figure is if it's still in it's original packaging. In many cases, this makes my hobby much harder and more expensive, but atleast the quality of the products I'm collecting is always good. |
