I lost interest in wrestling in 2000 after college and I never had wrestling action figures my whole life. In 2013 my son was 2 and he was watching me play 2k13 and then 2K14. Around Christmas time that year it was time to introduce my son to his first action figure line and I randomly googled “Honky tonk man action figure”. I think I found this place that same night. I didn’t register until June 2014 when I realized matteldesignteam was a member. It was best for me the first two years

For all the old timers here, was anyone worried in the beginning that WF wouldn't last?

I discovered WF through a YouTube video back in 2009.
I made like 5 friends here and the rest of you are the enemy.

It's funny. My best friend recommended it to me because I liked wrestling the same week as a member from another site did. I was a member of an old efed that was starting to collapse and I was informed by someone who saw talent in me to come to WF because WFWF, WF's creative writing efed, always seems to survive. Little did I know a couple years later, my green rookie ass would be running WFWF, and then a decade later I'd be running the whole site.
Moral of the story: getting roped into a website for a niche board can lead to total domination if you work hard enough.

I came here from AFR (albeit a bit behind the earliest settlers). I was 16.
I'm 33 now. Even I don't know what the hell I'm still doing here.
Whoever kept those pictures up there is the real hero.

I think I first discovered this site when Jakks made the Rocky figures. I didn't join until 2011 though

I honestly couldn't tell you how I discovered the place but I've been around for the past 15 years just about. Which is baffling to me, I was 13 -_-

It was a couple weeks or months after the site started that I joined, but I don’t remember how I discovered it. I think a fellow member from RTM (is that site still running?) recommended it to me.

For all the old timers here, was anyone worried in the beginning that WF wouldn't last? there would’ve been an alternative forum made pretty quickly just as this one was at the beginning. that said, it was never really discussed as far as I can remember.

I think I first discovered the forums when I was looking at starting to collect the Jakks Classic line and was searching on google. I lurked for a couple weeks before finally signing up. That was almost 12 years ago and I'm still here.

we’re the best thing that ever happen to this place. Well, maybe second best thing to the various versions of this picture:

I initially discovered wrestlingfigures.com around mid 2004 when I was watching a WWE DVD, perhaps Survivor Series 2002 and saw someone hold a sign up with the site written on it.
I don't remember exactly how I discovered WrestlingFigs or what I was looking for, but I remember it being in early 2005 after Batista had just won the Royal Rumble and the one thing that sticks out to me was someone having a sig of Batista after winning the Rumble with a speech caption that said "Sh*t I won, Triple H is gonna kill me!"
I think from there I just started browsing the Jakks thread, figure animations, poses and action shots and the figure feds. Which makes me realise that with the exception of the Jakks board, I never check those boards anymore! Gonna have to take a look later and see how they're doing. Probably ghost towns. Mr. Nrrrg's PWF was the most amazing pic fed I've ever seen to this day. It was years ahead of it's time. I remember a guy named Wade having awesome figure action shots too.
