Now entering the Titan Front!

This is a King of Olsula and former ECW World Heavyweight Champion, Steve Karino.

And you're listening to the major wrestling figure podcast.

ECW Edition.

Well and welcome to a very, very special edition of the major wrestling figure podcast today.

We're going deep, we're diving deep into the land of extreme, original San Francisco toy makers, ECW Action Figure Line.

The entire series. I am your host, Brian Myers, aka ECW Superfan and part time WWE Superstar, Kurt Hawkins.

And I am your host, Matt Cardona aka the heart and soul superhero of ECW.

I know you're, I don't know if we've really ever talked about this too much but your dad was buddies with TAS.

So you kinda do have like ECW ties in a way?

I always loved TAS when he was the TAS maniac. He trained at my dad's gym and he couldn't afford the membership.

So he traded some like 8x10s and it was really cool to us.

So Bob Cardona was always the suckers we were sure to.

But TAS, I had his Tasmania act 8x10.

I've seen it.

And I also have, still have to this day, the VHS tape highlight reel that he would send to WWEF, WCW, stuff like that.

So I was always a huge TAS fan and it would follow him through the, you know, PWI and stuff like that.

So when he was an ECW, that's what made me first start watching ECW was, oh I know TAS, he's my dad's friend or the guy my dad knows from the gym.

And that's what connected me to ECW so early on.

Okay. And then do any recollection of these figures coming out that you recall?

I was, you knew.

Of course, this was the attitude era is deep into my collecting deep into my internet, my internet collecting days and I was an ECW mark.
