Keeping in line with honoring the great Muhammad Ali, we're stepping out a bit today for our first post on what was a favorite for us growing up - Pro Wrestling.

Muhammad Ali prepares for Wrestlemania I (with Hulk Hogan, Cyndi Lauper, Liberace and Wendi Richter) |
Muhammad Ali once graced the WWE (then WWF) stage to referee a tag-team match between Hulk Hogan and Mr T. vs. Roddy Piper and Paul Orndorff at Wrestlemania I in 1985. And being that today would have been the 57th birthday of James Brian Hellwig AKA The Ultimate Warrior, we thought it would be a great day to mention a few cool collectibles for all the wrestling fans out there.
Being that there are
a lot of great wrestling collectibles to be found, expect more posts in the near future. For now, check these out when you're summer slammin' or royal rumblin'...

Funko does it again with a great Pop! vinyl for all the little warriors out there. Available at toy shops, comic book stores and of course, eBay.

Koko B. Ware figure with Frankie by Hasbro |
One of our favorite wrestlers from the 80's, Koko was one of the first true high-flyers - and his parrot Frankie was pretty awesome too. Will run you close to $80 on eBay these days.
Randy "Macho Man" Savage Statue by McFarlane Toys (2014)

Randy "Macho Man" Savage statue by McFarlane Toys |
Another of wrestling's all-time greats, done in fine form resin by the incredible talents at McFarlane Toys. Limited to 500 pieces and stands an impressive 20" tall. Long gone through the Spawn store but you can sometimes track one down on eBay - it just might cost you upwards of $700 if you do.
See y'all tomorrow as we continue honoring Muhammad Ali by listing our Top 10 boxing movies!
