I got introduced to the podcast while I was working my shift at Logan airport and I got to meet Broski as he was coming through my Terminal. He introduced me to the podcast and it made me realize that I’m not the only one that loves collecting figures, although my collection may not be as huge as most I ended up joining the Patreon and have made many new friends this podcast is what I look forward to every week and look forward to seeing what’s new and what old figures I can collect Brian, Matt and MARK. We’re all extremely nice to me when I had the opportunity to meet them at Kowloon and I am forever grateful for the podcast.

I never imagined I would be a regular listener to a wrestling figure podcast but life takes us down strange avenues. Not only are the hosts immensely knowledged on the subject, their chemistry is so palpable I could listen to them discuss the latest tax laws and would be interested. There’s also invaluable insight on what the life of a wrestler is like in 2025. A must listen every week.

Though it may sound silly, two things that this podcast about wrestling figures has provided me are comfort and confidence. Through the last few years of life changes, highs, lows, and everything in between, I’ve always been able to look forward to the weekly episodes and YouTube videos as a form of routine and comfort. I’ve also found great confidence through this podcast, again which may sound strange at first. When I first started listening, I would hide my figures from my friends, girlfriend, and family because I was so embarrassed to be an adult collector. Through years of listening and being part of this community, I’ve learned to really not care what anyone else thinks and to just be happy in my own hobbies and interests. I’ve found a sense of uniqueness in myself and my personality, I’m so much more comfortable and positive with this outlook and it’s all thanks to a silly little podcast about wrestling figures. Thanks for the hours of entertainment, laughs, motivation, and sense of community. Also, way off topic, there’s a local lawyer in my town of Vernon, CT with the name Mark R. Spurling. I drive by the sign everyday on my way to work and get a good laugh every time. Thanks again boys, yall are the best!!

I can’t stress to you how much I’ve enjoyed this podcast. It’s been so much fun to be a part of the community and the Facebook group. Worth every penny. Everyone has been amazing and helpful. Each week is a new trip down memory lane. If you’re looking for something to be a part of, give this group, or dare I say family, a try. The only regret you’ll have is not doing it sooner. Thanks for all you guys do for us.

LJNs, Ninja Turtles, and GI Joe and collecting them were my childhood! Even as an adult I continued collecting but about 10 years ago lost my way. Wrestling is in my blood, my grandparents loved wrestling, my dad loved it and promoted it for a while in Maine. He loved and used to take me and buy me LJNs! He took Ill a few years ago and kept it to himself, when I found out it was hard. When I saw Matilda it took me back! Thought dad would love seeing that with my LJN Bulldogs! I bought the bulldogs and they showed up 3 days before my dad passed, I got to show him, and we watched a lot of wrestling those final days! Since then I started collecting again. I need 1 LJN to complete my LJN Fig Fed(not counting Brother Love and the Bushwhackers, come on guys! Bad News with the rat is ordered)and I have gone ALL IN on Big Rubber Guys!!!! I also have been bingeing the podcast HARDCORE from the beginning! I am up to July 2023! Thank you for the memories, the inspiration, and making collecting cool again!

Huge fan of the program! I just recently got into wrestling figure collecting. With all the different companies and different series under Mattel alone it can be a bit overwhelming trying to “figure” out which is which. Thanx to you guys I can now understand it all. I really dig the story’s from Matt, Brian and marks past of their old fig feds. It really brings me back to the days when me and my brother used to each have our own wrestling figure federations and would met up in each other’s room for huge PPV’s. We used all types of action figures beside just wrestling figs like TMNT, Rambo, Indiana Jones, ect. We had a stage and ramp build out of Encyclopaedia Britannica’s and had an old silver Panasonic boom box we used to play tapes through for the ring entrances. We would record the audio from our matches with commentary and even wrote down all of our match cards in a notebook. Thanks for bringing back some of my fondness childhood memories. keep up the fantastic work!

The pod hits every happy nerve in the brain. It’ll make you feel like a kid again and itchy. Scratch that figure it Matt Brian and Mark bring it every week and never mail it in. These three have really brought to light the action figure community.

If you’re a fan of wrestling and collectibles, then the Major Wrestling Figure Podcast is the perfect tag team for your ears! Hosted by the dynamic trio of Matt Cardona, Brian Myers, and Smart Mark Sterling, this podcast serves up a delightful review of the wrestling figure world, sprinkled with humor, insights, and some good ol’ fashioned ribbing that makes you feel like you’re part of their backstage crew.

It’s Friday wearing my scratch that figure itch shirt while listening to the pod and scratching that itch on @ringsidecollectibles. Best collectible podcast out there. Matt, Brian & Smart Mark have a crazy amount of knowledge about the wrestling collecting world it’s insane. Didn’t even start to collect wrestling figures till the podcast. But here I am scratching that itch. They say it’s the most expensive free podcast and my wife would agree. Keep up the awesome work.

Top notch wrestling figure journalism.

Have you ever wanted to listen to grown men discuss action figures for 90 minutes? Yes? Perfect! This is the place!

I’ve been a major mark since day one ish, was one of those who thought it was only on YouTube. I’ve since gone back and listened to all weekly episodes. I love driving around fig hunting and listening to the boys. This show is something I look forward to weekly. Listening to this show literally changes my mood and puts me in a better place. Thanks for all yall 🤠 do.

Most expensive free podcast strikes again!!! I had no desire to get any of the WWF JAKKS Bone crunchers. But I then listened to the first several episodes of this podcast and you all talked about them so much I got itchy. I went to a toy show this weekend and got Undertaker,Bret, 2 Owens and A “Blood Stone“ Austin. Loosey!! What am I doing!!! Love the show!!!

I was listening to the pod, late one night When my ears they heard great toy insight Their center status I began to apprise Does this XPac have correct sized thighs? We did the Mash. We did The Major Mash (The major mash) it was a ringside smash (We did the mash) raccoons in our trash (We did the mash) we did the major mash

I have been a fan of the show since episode one. I was going through my first separation that later became a second to finally a divorce. I was listening to the most recent pod and before getting through the intro a commercial interrupted the intro song. I am still listening to the show but I see it’s going to take an additional half hour or so this week. I am aware that I could pay for an add free version but I don’t have money for that. I need my money for the big rubber guys !!! But really I love the show and wish I had friends like Matt ,Brian, and Mark.

I met Matt and Brian at a wrestling show a few years ago when I took one of the guys I take care of at a group home. After the show we got food at Sheetz and seen Matt and Brian there. Everytime I see him I said where did we see you guys, he said Gas. I take my new fig collection, since I have gotten the figure itch to his house. He loves taking heads off and making crazy combos like Brian Myers head on a Mr T body, Gobbly Gooker head on Andre. Hulk big eye head on Gooker body. Anyways thanks for bringing me back to my childhood with this great podcast!

In honor of Jey Uso winning the IC Championship last night, this review will be sung to the tune of his entrance theme: Hit that fig hunt And scratch that itch Hit that fig hunt And scratch that itch Hit that fig hunt And scratch that itch Then line em up uce and take your pick In all seriousness, since being a day one listener this podcast reignited my passion and love for collecting. What started as, I can do one bookcase, turned into 2, and now a total of five bookcases in my office. Most importantly, the community and outlet Mark, Brian and Matt started for us to all share our love and passion for the hobby. Great work PALS!

This podcast is not just a nostalgia fix but also part of an amazing community. You will not only rekindle your love for toys, wrestling figs, be entertained with inside jokes and stories but join a family and community. Oh yeah and hope your wallets are ready to scratch that major itch. Best wishes #majorreview.

Very good podcast, you should listen to it

I can still remember following Matt Cardona’s Twitter account in mid 2018, when he mentioned a new podcast, having to do with action figures. I was familiar with him, but not Brian Myers, nor their passion for the collecting world. And here we are, over six years later, tens of thousands spent on figures and trips to buy them and get them autographed, and I’m still as excited as week 1 when I get that Patreon notification that a new episode has dropped. Thank you guys for helping me be the voice of Lucha Libre figures in the community, and here’s to another six years of MAJOR insanity!

I shouldn’t be writing this right now but hey! So I work 3rd shift & I have to leave my phone in my locker because where I work at, im dealing with lead for vehicle batteries. But working and doing the same thing has been very boring and gets exhausting and I’m going to 4 years doing it. I started sneaking my phone onto the floor, I use mufflers so my co workers and bosses don’t see that I have it with me but I listen to you guys every single night and it’s been a life changing thing. I seriously do appreciate you guys and the effort you guys put into doing these episodes and all the hard work you guys put in and out of the ring. It has also motivated me to take all my wrestling stuff out of boxes and actually display rather than just stalling on it because I have no motivation but listening to you guys on low at work when I’m not supposed to, it motivates me to grow my collection and actually display it. Thank you guys & cheers pal!

Say his name and he appears I believe in #ErnestMajorBendie I believe in #ErnestMajorBendie Now whether he’s camping Or scared stupid Or going to school Or visiting Splash Mountain Or Africa, or being super cool. I believe in #ErnestMajorBendie I believe in #ErnestMajorBendie Wave your hands from side to side and say I need an Ernest Bendie An Ernest Bendie is a prestigious one. Love the show. The community is just as good as the show and I have enjoyed it.

I’ve been a wrestling fan for 40+ years, during that time I’ve collected belts, merchandise and action figures. Once I hit my 20’s I had a family and some hard times (financially and personal), had to sell my collection. Over the next 20 years I never stopped watching but I really did not collect either. I had some demons and they would take over BUT once I found this podcast THIS has consumed and overtaken all other issues that I had. My wife (who dislikes wrestling like no other) supports this habit with joy cause it had changed my life. From listening to this podcast and watching there YouTube channel to going to the shows (both physically and streams) have made my life! My son who I got into wrestling when he was very young also has been a major mark. I just want to say thank you very much for everything you do and will continue to for this community. #MAJORMARK4LIFE! #SCRATCHTHATFIGUREITCH!

But to paraphrase Cowboy Bill Watts, “it’s a tough business on wallets”. This podcast got me back into collecting AND back into wrestling! Thanks to Matt, Brian, Mark, and the whole gang for such a great show and community. So happy for you guys and everything you’ve built and grown. Cheers to many more years! 🍻

Been listening since I heard Matt on the Sean Mooney podcast. Love the show. Keeps me up to date on everything wrestling figure related. Plus, I follow each of the guys careers because I got to know them better through this podcast. And now, my wife has to watch (with disappointment) as her husband celebrates as he buys his 42nd Hulk Hogan figure at Walmart, brother.

Started listening to the show from the very beginning, even though I’m not a collector. Swore I’d never get the itch. Fast forward to me spending a couple of years on a mint Hasbro collection. The show changed my life because as a joke, when I bought my first few Hasbros, my mom bought me a two pack of current guys. I tossed them in with the tub toys, and before long, my two year old son was hooked. Now he’s five, and he has more Mattel’s than I could ever count. Nothing is and thrilling and exciting as going on a fig hunt with my son. I can say for certain that without this incredible podcast, I would’ve missed out on so many special moments with my son.

This show is absolutely fantastic!! The information and nostalgia provided is second to none! For hardcore collectors or people just looking to relive or recapture some of the nostalgia of their youth, this show does it all. Like RVD’s Frog Splash, this show is absolutely 5*!! Also appreciate the periodic Disney discussion as a big theme park fan! Absolutely a must listen!

This podcast truly has been great for me the past few months. After being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and having to have life saving surgery and then starting chemo, I really needed these guys to get me through. Matt, Brian and Mark bring to life the world of collecting and bring differing opinions on how to build the hobby. I collect what I love and display it the way I want because of the confidence instilled by these three. You guys have been great and have definitely made my cancer journey more bearable. I am on the way to healing now and this podcast is a MAJOR reason why.

This podcast continues to be the highlight of my week. Hearing great discussion about all the great figures coming out in the world of wrestling and beyond. Happy to be a Major Mark! If you like figs, and wrestling, this is the pod for you!

Fridays just wouldn’t be the same without this one!

I was an obsessed WWF fan and figure collector in the mid to late 90s. Although I didn’t know the term at the time, my “fig fed” was intense and a highlight of my childhood (BCAs Baby!). Now that I’m back into figures, this podcast is my favorite companion for this crazy world of collecting. At 37 yrs old, I don’t know any single person in or around my neck of the woods that is into this hobby. Listening to Matt, Brian, and Mark on a weekly basis reminds me how big the figure community is. And although nothing beats the nostalgic feeling of collecting my favorite wrestlers, they also dabble in other genres of figure collecting (TMNT, JP, MOTU, Star Wars, and more) that really make this podcast accessible to every collector. This is a must listen podcast if your into the world of figure collecting!

5 years ago this week I walked into JJ Cooper’s for Live 3 and everything changed. I went for a Live podcast hosted by 2 of my favorite wrestlers. It was in the middle of the night on a Monday night, but after missing 1&2 I couldn’t miss it again! I got a purple version of the shirt that the bar was themed after and the rest was history. Having one of my favorite wrestlers give me a silly nick name is nothing compared to the epic memories and life long friends I’ve made as a result of this podcast that goes far beyond wrestling and figures. I’m truly blessed to have found this community! Here’s to many more years of being Purps! Best Wishes! 💜

Just want to thank, Matt, Brian and Mark for continuously putting out episodes every week, no best of episodes, well there are but those come out every other week because of how many major moments there have been! I wouldn’t be surprised if I said Major in my sleep because of how much this Podcast has changed my life, no seriously I’m an actor in my spare time and the way Broski talks about making a name for himself made me realize I have to do that for myself, now I got the lead in a professional production of Rent and part of it I owe to this podcast. Keep up the amazing work, and thank you for everything!

*to the tune of God Bless the USA* If tomorrow all my figs we’re gone, I’ve worked for all my life. And I had to start again, With just a basic LA Knight I thank the Patreon To be listening here today Cause this group is always carny And they can’t take that away And I’m proud to be a major mark Where I’ll be H.A.R.D And I won’t forget the flea markets That take all my money And I’ll gladly stand right next to you At the live shows in L.A. Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this pod Like and subscribe todayyyyyyy

I wanted to write an actual review that wasn’t a song or not actually a review. This is the best podcast around. A must listen every week. Matt, Brian and Mark do a great job bring the news, what they purchased every week and what happening in their lives. Great job boys!!!!! Keep up the great work!!!

You wanna talk about a “Forbidden Door?” In April of 2000, Tazz (a WWE superstar) went against Mike Awesome (a WCW superstar) at an ECW show for the ECW title. Well, you talk about the real Forbidden Door? No, not AEWs, not even the door that used to be closed when discussing toy collecting as a adult being “taboo”. I’m talking about when a WWE superstar sat down with a GCW superstar, a TNA superstar, and an AEW superstar all in the name of action figure collecting. That’s the wall this podcast has broken down for the world to see, here, and enjoy. Let’s all get itchy, and listen to The Major Wrestling Figure Podcast. Then, Now, Forever collecting figures Together.

The Major Wrestling Figure Podcast has had a tremendous impact on my life as a wrestling fan and collector. Not only did it reignite my passion for collecting action figures, but it also managed to get my wife involved in the hobby. Matt, Brian and Mark’s engaging and humorous discussions about rare finds, fig hunts, and personal stories made me realize just how much joy and nostalgia these toys bring. Now, my wife eagerly listens with me, and together, we've grown our collection, searching for sought-after figures and relishing in the thrill of the hunt. Thanks to the Major Wrestling Figure Podcast, collecting has become a shared passion in our household, enhancing our bond and filling our shelves with cherished wrestling figs!

This is the best wrasslin and action figure podcast out there. Brian, Matt and Mark entertain with their weekly work and home stories while keeping us up to date on new figure news. Day one listener and Patreon subscriber as well, you’re missing out if you’re not both. Brian is the MVP of the pod, love hearing his frustration when the boys are going long or a topic he’s not interested in. Just let the man wrap up and get back to his kids. I listen to tons of comedy and other podcasts, but The Major Wrestling Fig podcast always goes to the top of the list hen it releases. Get it early in Patreon.

Take it from the Mad Cat…Matt, Brian and I suppose Mark as well….have the best beards in the business! Oh, and they have a pretty cool podcast too! 😂

It’s Matt Cardona It’s Brian Myers They’ve got Smart Mark He’s Doctor Silverballs They buy the toys They really love ‘em Elites or S.T.O.M.P Hasbro or LJN They’re just the Major Pod (Major Pooooood) They never buy them flawed (Buy them flaaaawed) They’re just the Major Pod (Major Pooooood) They got them Detolfs (Detolfs) They like ‘em MOC They like ‘em loosey Their knees get weak When they find that deal They go to stores Complete collections The toys are stored In totes in Matt’s garage They’re just the Major Pod (Major Pooooood) They never buy them flawed (Buy them flaaaawed) They’re just the Major Pod (Major Pooooood) They got them Detolfs (Detolfs)

Hey Major Pod team, this being your 300th episode I had to get off my lazy butt and give a review, not just any review of course, but a Major Review 👊.It’s a long one so while I hope it’s chosen to read , understand that it might not be pod cast friendly based on timing 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️. So I’m a NEW collector after coming BACK INTO wrestling after a 8-9 year “lapse”…..and upon my return to fandom discovered this podcast. It’s a really cool Hobby that have gotten my son Dustin and I thinking how we can embrace it and take things even further, which has brought us closer than ever as well. Ironically, not only has this podcast kept me informed of new releases for my collection, but it made me also follow the pro-wrestling careers of Matt, Brian and Mark, to the level I hadn’t before during their WWE run. That Death Match was INCREDIBLE and Brian’s work in TNA is amazing to watch. I don’t see much of Mark but watch his promos every chance I get on YouTube as well. My wife Julie is a great sport who often watches the YouTube show with me every Saturday upon release. Hilariously, when Matt showed up on AEW she said “hey it’s the guy on the podcast”……I of course had to tell her the history of “Stryker and Major” within WWE afterwards 😂😂😂. The podcast is amazing and one of my favorites. I’m not a huge “autograph guy” but I’ve gotten some of your figures on Ringside (saved 10% with the discount code Major) and hope to meet y’all and have them signed soon. Thanks for entertaining us through your craft…..and the podcast as well. The Cartwright Family ❤️

To the tune of Kingdom by Downstait Major Pod has more than one figure line…. PBR in my soul, Figure itch out of control I buy em all before I get a rash… Major Marks are here to stay, Hawkins 2-pack with Brodus Clay, Out the package once I get home…WHOOOAAAAAAA! In all seriousness, this pod is everything to me. It got me thru the pandemic(I MISS FWF) not only is it the greatest wrestling figure podcast, it’s the best wrestling and toy podcast out there. I’ve been a day one listener back when the pod was only supposed to be about 30-45 minutes long LOL! I’ve also been a Hard Foundation patron since day one. This podcast is so freakin brilliant, it is a crime that it’s actually free. Side note, can’t wait to see and hopefully meet broski at GCW Hawaii. And finally, Happy 300th episode fellas, I can’t wait to hit the 400th, 500th, and many more for years to come.

Super informative and entertaining. My favorite weekly podcast out there! Not only are they addicts like me, they’re also my dealers. I would also like to officially shout out Mark for all of the insane work he does producing this show, the main youtube channel (with edited vlogs), AND now a clips youtube channel as well. Speaking of, where is the Mark big rubber guy. We are called major MARKs after all…

Not only is this the most expensive free podcast out there, it has one of the single best communities that comes with it. Get involved in the Patreon Facebook group and I guarantee your collecting passion will grow and you’ll meet some incredible people like I have. Appreciate you Matt, Brian, and Mark.

Captivating storytelling intertwined with insightful analysis. Each episode leaves you wanting more, blending entertainment with thought-provoking discussions. A must-listen for anyone craving engaging content. Scratch that Figure itch!!

In the midst of E & C pod of awesomeness hiatus, out of nowhere, the Major Brothers sneaks from behind under the ring, pull out a combo sunset flip & small package to Edge & Christian (since Zack couldn’t get an episode on their pod), get the 1, 2..3!!! I have been collecting wrestling figures since WCW smash & slam were on sale, through my deep sorrow of fading glory of WWE Classic Superstars, up to the revival of Hasbro with WWE Mattel Retro collection! Thank you for the weekly dose of wrestling figure updates, nostalgia, those tidbits of trivia & non stop entertainment from Zack & Curt! I hope I learn more idea for an excuse to my wife of the resurgence of wrestling figures in my collection!😆 PS: I was supposed to send this waaay back but never got posted! I write a new one soon!

I love the podcast and the bendy action figures! I have both konan styles sighed, I also have two MATT CARDONA figures sighed. Death match king and Indy god. Great fun listen.

The last month has been one of the roughest and most tumultuous of my entire life. But every single week I look forward to hearing Matt, Brian and Mark talk about figures. From Major Bendies to Major PBR to the incredible Facebook community. I continually feel camaraderie and friendship and care. All of that is thanks to The Major Wrestling Figure Podcast.

(First 2 Hooks done to “Ironic” by Alanis Morsette) Smart Mark Turned 98 Got his AEW Fig, Retired next day It’s being outbid on the Bay It’s hitting the preorder one day too late Isn’t it Ironic don’t you think It’s like Blue Chew with a bunk right arm It’s getting served Bad Chicken Parm It’s getting Hyped with MOJO But at least I still got the figure Ok, the real review The Major Wrestling Figure Podcast is more than just a pod about collecting, It’s a community with hosts that give more to their fans than almost anyone you can think of. It’s a community that will make you excited to meet fellow Major Marks that become somewhat celebs within the community Easily 5 Stars and 7 if you ever did a show in the Tokyo Dome

The Major Wrestling Figure Podcast is a must-listen for any wrestling figure fan. With its entertaining hosts Matt Cardona & Brian Myers it offers a unique perspective on the world of professional wrestling figures among other properties like Star Wars and Ninja Turtles. Matt, Brian & Smart Mark Long Sterling do a great job every podcast, never missing a week even through injury and illness. Highly recommend! -Sam Banks
