Top 10 2005 Wrestling Gifts for the Holidays

By Eric Cohen, About.com

This is a list of 10 of the best items to get your loved ones for the holiday. I tried to keep this list child friendly and have avoided listing some great products that were released this year. If you are looking for merchandise for a specific wrestler, need help about the age appropriateness of certain items, or want my opinion about any item not listed, please feel free to e-mail me.

1. WrestleMania Anthology

This is the gift every wrestling fan wants to see under the tree this year. This DVD set features all 21 WrestleMania's in their entirety. The anthology comes with 21 discs (some are double-sided) and features almost 70 hours of wrestling action.

2. TNA Anthology: The Epic Set

This DVD set is available exclusively from Wal-Mart. There is no better bargain this season than this DVD set of three TNA PPV events for only $20. This set includes the Victory Road, Turning Point, and Lockdown PPV's.

3. Bret Hart: The Best There Is, The Best There Was, ... 3 DVD Set

This DVD almost lives up to the title. This 3 DVD set is almost 9 hours long and features 18 matches hand-chosen by Bret. Any fan of Bret Hart or wrestling in the 80's and 90's will love this gift.

4. Heartbreak & Triumph: The Shawn Michaels Story

Shawn Michaels is one of the most controversial figures in wrestling history. In this autobiography, he comes clean about everything. He discusses Montreal, the MSG Curtain Call, the Kliq, his suspensions, losing his smile, and his spiritual rebirth in detail. This is one of the best wrestling books in years.

5. SmackDown! vs RAW 2006 for PS2

This video game is the most recent of the acclaimed SmackDown vs RAW series.

6. Eddie Guerrero Tribute T-Shirt (No longer available)

Many wrestling fans like to wear clothing of their favorite wrestler. If you don't know who that is for the wrestling fan in your life, you can not go wrong with this shirt. All wrestling fans were saddened by the loss of Eddie a few weeks ago. The proceeds from this shirt are going directly to Eddie's family.

7. Action Figures

Younger wrestling fans enjoy playing with wrestling figures. Older fans that buy these items are typically collectors and will probably already have the figures they want.

8. Replica Belts

Give your loved one a championship belt to let them know how you feel about them. There are many styles to choose from.

9. The Greatest Wrestling Stars of the 80's DVD

If your loved one grew up a fan of wrestling stars like Hulk Hogan, Roddy Piper, & Sgt. Slaughter they will love this trip down memory lane. This 3 DVD set features documentaries and the best matches of 15 of the top stars of the 80's.

10. A subscription to Netflix

This is much better than giving your loved one a membership in the steak of the month club. Wrestling DVD's are not available in most rental stores. Netflix has over 100 wrestling DVD's.
