The Wrestling Icon (pictured above) photographed at the "ToyMan Show 2012", in Bridgeton, Missouri, a toy and comic book convention now in it's 22nd year. As you might guess the Icon sold wrestling action figures, and his legendary, hand painted, wrestling poster featuring Wrestlers dating back from the 1920's until today. It took him 3 years, and hundreds of hours to finish the portrait. The detail on the painting is so precise, that you can easily distinguish any Wrestler with whom you are familiar. Click on this link, or type it into your browser, to visit his site and view the portrait. http://www.iconsofwrestling.com/ Below are some of the action figures he sold. Would you believe that some of these things sell for as much as $75 each!
That's me pointing to a copy of his "Icons of Wrestling Poster". I knew Wrestling Entertainment was a growing sport, but I did not know how much it was growing until I agreed to help my friend "the Icon", in the absence is of his 'better half', (out of town on business) who usually handles his customer flow, and money management.
OK, this is a little self serving. I agreed to help out at the convention if I could bring some of my "2012...B.O. is worse than flatulence" T-shirts.
The Convention was so much fun, even R2-D2 showed up.
