Another Cool Wrestling Item

The other thread regarding the cool piece of Andre the Giant memorabilia spurred me to share the following.

There are plenty of old wrestling event posters on Ebay but I have never seen ones with Hulk Hogan as the undercard. In my mind, that's pretty cool! I know there are a few diehard wrestling fans on here who would appreciate these.

And yes there is a bit of a Jesse Venture event poster poking out of the side of one of the pics.

By the way, a footnote - Hulk Hogan had to stop billing himself as the "Incredible Hulk" Hogan early on in his career due to a lawsuit by Marvel against the WWF. Marvel didn't like him using even the "Hulk" moniker but I guess they compromised.

  • those are cool. Hulk has been around forever it seems.

    He has out lived everyone in the sport. Sad since he is only 60

    That is a super cool item!


    I believe I saw one of these sell in the $230+ range some time back.


    This is the closest thing I can find. Obviously the years are a good number apart but it is a similar style that could be of interest to wrestling poster collectors.

    I think it would be cool to have an item like that signed...I am really not sure on the poster market but those are nice items for sure.

    Not everyone - Bob Backlund is still setting Harvard Step Test Records! Or at least that's what they said at his HOF induction.

    There are no dates on the posters, but I would place the December one as 1980 and the May one as 1981.

    Cool poster


    I did a search and some of these posters can bring good money. This one looks very cool.

    This particular poster (Aug 26 Providence) would have been from 1986 (Flower Shop with Adrian Adonis) and would have been a tv taping for Superstars of Wrestling. With the 18 matches, they would go three weeks of shows (six jobber matches for each week), and a couple of big name main event matches to let everyone go home happy. Would have loved to have seen one of these live.
