The Wrestling Collector

What an amazing treasure! I made it back to the Wrestling Collector today. It has been about a year since I have been in the area and the store has changed a lot. Love the Wrestlefest Arcade game. When I make it big someday I am going to ask to buy it. I have been collecting Collusiem Videos and WWF magazines since the early 90s. So to walk in and immediately see PPV VHS tapes that I am missing made me realize this place is going in the right direction. Walking through the doors of the store instantly brings you back to your childhood. Today they had Royal Rumble 95 playing on the TV. Vince McMahons voice booming throughout the store.

This place has something for every age fan but particularly hits on the Golden Era-New Generation age group. They have LJN figures on the card in the back. The giant LJN Ring sure pulls my nostalgia strings and I might return to buy that someday.

Today the owner was not there so I had the chance to chat with the owner's mom. I bought Survivor Series 90 and Survivor Series 96 on VHS. She told me she is not the wrestling fan of the family but the owner is about my age so we shared amazing stories of remembering Survivor Series Thanksgivings and how wrestling memories play a big part of great memories with our Dad's/husband. We learned that the owners dad and my own passed days apart earlier this year.

I look forward to stopping in again next time I am close. New Jersey is so lucky to have WWF fans so amazing that they open stores like this. Thank you!!!!!!

Amazing store. The owner is a great guy and he makes the experience so much better. Talks to you and has knowledge of every single product in the place. And genuinely helps you get what you need. I got some collectibles I haven’t seen before and he threw in a free autographed picture of jake the snake roberts for Christmas.

Lot of cool stuff, old school heavy. Really enjoyed my time checking it all out.

Will return

After a few years, I finally was able to make it out here!

If you like or liked pro wrestling - 80's to the Attitude Era to present day - this is a store you should stop at. There's a wide selection of figures, autographs, DVDs, books, VHS, magazines, and lots of other collectable memorabilia. There aren't too many options out there in the area that houses these type of items, so to have this place around is awesome.

Store is small, but plenty to look at. If you're not careful, you can easily miss something as it happened to me when I passed an area and noticed things I didn't notice the first time.

They do have autograph signings at select times which are updated on their website/social media, as well as shopping options. Some really cool stuff inside and on the website.

The owner is very welcoming and friendly.

There is a comfortable parking lot.

Really worth a trip and recommended for any wrestling fan - former or current - as there is plenty to see and something for anyone inside.
