Just In: Giant WWF PPV Programs

It's always fun to dig up something a bit unusual to share with everyone. Here's one of those instances. Before WWE saturated the market with pay-per-view events, there was your basic four (or if you're a purist, two or three) events each year. Programs from these events were one of the easiest ways to capture the essence of each show long after the event had finished.

For Summerslam '94, the WWF began a brief stint of releasing giant-sized programs for their PPV events. These magazines differed from the standard PPV programs in two distinct ways:

• Size: The actual dimensions of the magazines dwarfed the standard program, measuring about 13 inches in length. This drove home the idea that the fan was buying something that shouldn't be trashed at the end of the night when the event was over.
• A huge poster: This actually started with the Survivor Series '94 program. For the extra five bucks, people who bought these huge programs also got a massive pull-out poster. These bad boys were practically worth the price of admission alone, measuring over 40 inches in length.
  

We're happy to make four of these programs available for your collecting needs. Enjoy.

Just In: Vintage WWF Magazines & Programs

I get to thumb through a lot of cool stuff going through the restocking process. Few items give me more enjoyment than WWF magazines, specifically from the mid to late 1980s.

There's just something about those particular magazines that make it tough to actually list them with the intention of selling them to someone else. I fight the temptation to just sock them away in my private stash.


This week brought forth a mighty temptation: 25 WWF Magazines and programs from this specific era. That these magazines were in especially great condition only made it tougher to list them with the knowledge that they'll probably be fleeing from my life very soon.

But my loss is your gain. And what a gain. Here are some of the highlights from this batch:

• WWF Magazine August/September 1985 (Roddy Piper, Cyndi Lauper, Iron Sheik, Nicolai Volkoff cover)
• WWF Magazine October/November 1984 (Hulk Hogan/Wendi Richter cover)
• WWF Magazine August/September 1984 (Lou Albano, Cyndi Lauper, Roddy Piper cover)
• WWF Program Vol. 102 (Bob Backlund/Sgt. Slaughter cover)

This is just a taste of what's available in our WWF Magazine & WWF Programs sections in our eBay store. Look around and you'll see what I mean.

Item of the Day (11.12.09): WWF Program Vol. 150

Everyone who ever went to a pro wrestling event shares some common bonds. Of course there was some wrestling (I hope). There was certainly a merchandise booth. And last, but certainly not least, event programs. For just a five-spot, you got a nice full-color magazine that included the evening's match lineup.

Event programs get us a little more nostalgic than other items given their placement at live wrestling events. That's why we like to stock up on vintage programs, specifically those from the WWF. Today, let's take a glimpse at the 150th volume of the WWF Program.


Featuring The Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase on the cover, this magazine's already got one strong selling point. You can't ever have too many magazines with Ted DiBiase on the cover. Secondly, there's a lot of great articles on other stars from the era (1988), such as the One Man Gang, Jake the Snake Roberts, Kamala, and Bam Bam Bigelow.

I'm telling you, there's nothing quite like passing a quiet evening by reading a nice feature on Kamala. So what are you waiting for? Jump on this magazine for an attractive price. And be sure to check out the other wrestling programs we have, because each one ships for just a buck a piece after the first magazine.

Just In: WWF Spotlight Magazines

The WWF Spotlight series from WWF Magazine was always a personal favorite of mine. Even if you didn't particularly like the wrestler, the in-depth series of articles and historic photos made for an interesting package.

I just added five of these to the store. These are all in fantastic shape, and include their often-missing giant pull-out poster. I've seen these posters go for $20+ each if they're in good enough shape. This is a good chance to snag both the poster and the companion magazine.

• Spotlight Vol. 8 (Ted DiBiase)
• Spotlight Vol. 9 (The Rockers)
• Spotlight Vol. 10 (Big Boss Man)
• Spotlight Vol. 11 (The Hart Foundation)
• Spotlight Vol. 12 (Roddy Piper)
  

Just In: WWF Magazines (1990)

Head over to our eBay store and check out our latest WWF Magazine selections. We've added a complete 12-issue run from 1990 for your nostalgic pleasure. Best yet, these babies are priced to move. Don't forget, additional shipping for each magazine is just $1.25, so stock up now and save on shipping. Check the mags out here.

Just In: WWF Arena Programs (1980s)

Browse our eBay store now for a fresh, hearty helping of WWF arena programs from the mid to late 1980s. These programs, distributed by WWF Magazine, were sold at arena events. Each issue features a collection of brief articles and previews of the then current superstars and happenings of the Federation.

These are tough to track down, since they weren't produced in as large of quantities as the monthly WWF Magazine. We've got a nice mix of programs, starting from 1985 and heading straight through 1992. The real bulk of the lot comes from 1987 through 1989. This means lot of Ultimate Warrior, Hulk Hogan, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Demolition, and many more.

Best yet, they're all priced to move. We've started price points at just $5 so you can get nostalgic and not have to sacrifice lunch tomorrow.
