Torrie Wilson

Torrie Wilson - signed 10x8

Torrie Wilson is former wrestling diva, best known for her stints in WCW and the WWE.

Rob Van Dam

Rob Van Dam - signed 10x8

In one day, Rob Van Dam jumps up from zero to four autographs in my collection (all of them where got together from the same autograph dealer).

I should point out at the moment, the 4 autographs per personality seems to be a glass ceiling for me at the moment, Van Dam joins the likes of Michael Winslow, Rosario Dawson, Caroline Munro and Shaun Williamson who are all on 4 a piece, who will be the first person to go into the lead.

Greg "The Hammer" Valentine

Greg "The Hammer" Valentine - signed 10x8

Greg Valentine, is one of those wrestlers that was really great technically but will never top anybodies all time favourite lists.

Lou Thesz

Lou Thesz - signed 10x8

Legendary wrestler who began his career in the 1930s. He held the NWA Heavyweight Title six times which had a combined reign of 10 years, 3 months and 9 days - which is longer then any other wrestler in history.

A number of wrestling moves were credited to have been invented by him including the belly to back waistlock suplex (later known as the German Suplex), the Lou Thesz Press (later used by Steve Austin), STF and the original powerbomb.

He officially retired in 1979 and remained retired for the most part. He wrestled his last match on December 26th, 1990 at the age of 74 against Masahiro Chano.

Lou Thesz passed away in 2002.

  • Brother Ray (also wrestled under the name Bubba Ray Dudley)

The photo is actually pretty crappy - looks like a bad ink job from a computer - but I didn't exactly break the bank to add this to my autograph collection, so I can't complain too much.

Live Event Wrestling Poster

Live Event Wrestling Poster - Cleethorpes

I think I was drawn to his poster because of the fact it had "Cowboy" Bret Hart and The Dynamite Kid on the card.

Eddie Guerrero

Eddie Guerrero - signed 10x8

Eddie Guerrero is absolutely one of my favourite wrestlers from what I consider the Monday Night Wars era. My friend Richard, who himself would consider a non fan but as some enjoyment in wrestling considered Eddie Guerrero brilliant when he saw him in action (the day before his death ironically, I joke with him that he might have killed him by saying how great he was).
