2 different belts? I have only seen the TV title one. I am with figurecollector, six more to try to find and one more belt possibly.

That was a good article. Cool info. From my investigating over time I found out there are actually carded under 4 names: Wrestling Champions, Champion Wrestling, Wrestlers Champion & Wrestler. At least one of the cards reveal the maker as a company called PMS.
There are actually 3 different lines that used that same blue card. The ones pictured in this thread, the Combo ones you mentioned and a series of 6 of the 18 Wrestling Champions by Madison Ltd.
There are also 2 different rings. I own one, a regular wrestling ring and a second I've seen pictures of is the same ring, but has a red cage.
I have pictures of all of these, but I don't know if I can put them up since I've taken these from eBay & other random websites and don't belong to me. Moderators, would it be OK if I could put up the pictures for reference?

I would say that as long as you acknowledge the source and that they are not your photos, put them on.

Here are a bunch of pictures from eBay auctions I've saved. I don't know who they belong to, so if they get deleted, I understand. These are the ones with the same solid body type as the ones being discussed in the thread. Champion Wrestling Front  Champion Wrestling Back  Wrestlers Champion Front  Wrestlers Champion Back  Wrestler Front  Wrestler Back  Master of Skillful Martial Arts in Action Front  Master of Skillful Martial Arts in Action Back  Caged Ring  These are the ones with "Wrestling Champions" as the title, but different body styles. Drekkus already put one up. Here are the others. Wrestling Champions by Madison Ltd. Front (1st Series)  Wrestling Champions by Madison Ltd. Back (1st Series)  Wrestling Champions by Madison Ltd. Front (2nd Series)  Wrestling Champions by Madison Ltd. Back (2nd Series)  Wrestling Champions Front  I actually own 3 of these, the 2 Madison Wrestling Champions & the Master of Skillful Martial Arts in Action. These were the pictures of the auctions. Another thing I want to add is that the Wrestling Champions numbered 338/1 to 338/6 are more difficult to obtain that 339/1 to 339/12. The 338s come on auction few and far between, while 339s are always available. I have no idea why. |

Interesting. Maybe I'll do an update on the wrestlers in one of my next articles. Luke has now opened a new one about the Warrior Beasts by Remco. I'm at the moment thinking about what I could do next...^^

Nice article/Blog. We are never going to find out about all of them. They are probably still making them and new ones will hit the shelves any day now.

cool never seen these before they have MOTU like bodies? They are built like the MOTU knockoffs around that time. I have a question about them: does the belt come off on every one of them or does some of them have them molded on? |

Which are more difficult to find? theres hong kong, china, no markings, and the obvious bootleg of the hong kong cover up? curious. It seems they are all pretty common. I have about an equal amount of all those stamp versions. The ones that I do find more difficult to find are the ones with yellow or green boots or different colored wrists other than black or red. I've probably seen only one with a different wrist color. I think it was yellow. As for the boots, I own a few of yellow or green boot figures. They usually come in blue, black or red boots. These tougher ones are usually pale skinned when compared to the other ones. See the 6th one in the 2nd row & the 5th one in the 3rd row for examples in the photo below.  Another difficult one is a slightly smaller ones with more variety in the color of trunks, or at least that's what it seems. I only have one with pink trunks with black boots (2nd one in the 3rd row in the photo below), but I've seen another with orange trunks which I have yet to get a hold of. The top 2 rows are customs, but the bottom 2 rows are original. I am also not sure if the Rambo knock off in black trunks is a Combo figure or another wrestling KO.  |

Wow, thanks terrible tony. Very insightful. I have a bunch of these dudes and love to find the slight variations that make them different.

I have a question about them: does the belt come off on every one of them or does some of them have them molded on? The belt comes off on all of them. There are 2 belt designs that I've seen, but I got to take a good look at them to describe them. I believe one is an eagle and another is a bear, but I really can't remember at the moment. I'll try as soon as I can as just moved again and everything is in boxes. I can tell you that the color of the plate on the belt comes in gold or yellow. There are some with more colors to them, but they belong to a different line of wrestler knock offs. |
