>>11631223Mostly played with my wrestling figures. I had my own "shows" just like the WWE with continuity and everything. Played daily then weekly. Genuinely would spend hours on a show, doing the commentary and everything. I remember oncee it was the royal rumble but I needed time to do the full event so settled on a weekend evening after I'd showered and everything. I had a tiny scorpion from MK figure that knocked this giant undertaker out from the rumble, it was a huge upset.

Even just using those plastic pizza savers you used to get with takeaway pizzas as tables. I also lost my entire collection. In my teens I went into the whole "I'm too grown up for all this now" and they got stored away. One day I came back from college to learn they'd all been given to charity and I had no clue. Still stings. Moreso because at the time I was just beginning to get over the whole "i'm too old for this" and getting into the "just like what you like bro" phaase. I'd have gone back to them. Maybe not to play, but I would have...
