WWF Pro Wrestling Stars
The first Topps card set since the 1950s to feature pro wrestlers. This 88 count set was issued in 9-cards wax packs and is split up into 66 photo cards and 22 stickers. The photo cards have white borders with the wrestler's name or caption in red text and are divided into three subsets; Wrestlers, Ringside Action, and The Superstars Speak. The stickers have die-cut photos over a ring rope style background. The backs of the sticker cards form an image. Size: 2.5 × 3.5 in.

Famous quotes containing the word wrestling:
“We laugh at him who steps out of his room at the very moment when the sun steps out, and says: “I will the sun to rise”; and at him who cannot stop the wheel, and says: “I will it to roll”; and at him who is taken down in a wrestling match, and says: “I lie here, but I will that I lie here!” And yet, all laughter aside, do we ever do anything other than one of these three things when we use the expression, “I will”?”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“There are people who think that wrestling is an ignoble sport. Wrestling is not sport, it is a spectacle, and it is no more ignoble to attend a wrestled performance of suffering than a performance of the sorrows of Arnolphe or Andromaque.”
—Roland Barthes (1915–1980)
