Matt Cardona is set to team with Brian Myers to take on Joey Janela and Sean Waltman at GCW’s upcoming Welcome To Heartbreak in what will be Waltman’s first match since 2019. That alone should be a big selling point. However, Cardona has taken things one thing further in attempting to promote the match, as he has set ablaze the 123 Kid Hasbro figure that Waltman previously signed for him. For those unaware, this is one of the rarest wrestling figures from the 90s and is currently listed unsigned on eBay for $1900.
Figures from the green card series of WWF Hasbro figures are rare to find in the package because in 1994, the toy manufacturer was ending its relationship with the wrestling promotion. Due to this, the production numbers were low, and many fans would never see them in stores. So to many fans, what Cardona has done is horrific, but it certainly shows he is prepared to go the extra mile to sell an angle. Whether Cardona decides to sell the burnt figure remains to be seen, but knowing his fanbase and how successfully he has been over the years selling on rare action figures, it wouldn’t be surprising if he somehow still made a profit.
