In today's post, I'm going to go one better and show you an Easter mug I had in either 1991 or 1992 (my money is on it being '92) with both Hulk Hogan and The Ultimate Warrior on it.
I dusted it off on Easter Sunday and took a few snaps of it to post on here.
So, here goes..
The above is what it looks like in the middle. You can see Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior are on either side of the WWF logo.

The reason why I am guessing the mug was from Easter 1992 is because the picture above reminds me of an image going around of Hulk Hogan draped in a US flag. I believe this picture was drawn using that image sans the flag.
The flag picture was in circulation in early-to-mid 1991 when Hogan was in the midst of being the All American hero during the time of the first Gulf War.
I know it couldn't have been produced in 1993 as Warrior was out of the company by then, with Hogan following shortly later so it has to be 1992ish.
If anybody knows, leave a comment below.
I had this mug! I remember it coming in a box with an Easter egg in it! Wow the nostalgia! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. Looking at what I wrote in 2014, I'm still convinced I had it in Easter '92.
DeleteI have nearly all these wwf mugs and I layissingnthe second Hulk Hogan mug. I think for sure this mug was easter 1992 like you said . P.S I have a great memory :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteMy friend had the Hogan '93 mug.
There are giant mugs too. Also Easter 93 there was a bret hart and hulk hogan on one red and yellow mug like the one above.
ReplyDeleteDo you remember Christmas 1993 they brought out bath salts of Hulk Hogan and Bret Hart? I had the Hitman one.
DeleteI’d love to see pics of the bath salts again. Been a long time. Retro times. Does your friend still have the hogan 93 mug? I love to buy it if someone has it. I just love these mugs. Check out my instagram page with my mug collection on handle name - mr_retro_shaun
ReplyDeleteI think he said it might still be at his parents' home when I asked him about it years ago.
DeleteYour Instagram page is amazing. What a trip down memory lane! I forgot all about the mugs with the individual wrestlers on them. Didn't even know there was a Sid Justice one.
I remember those plastic WWF pin badges as well. I didn't own any, but I do still have a Hogan metal badge with the stars and stripes.
I couldn't scroll all the way through your page because I don't have an Instagram account, but I am going to get one tomorrow when I'm back at my PC so I can have a proper look. Thank you for sharing it.
If you ever want to chat maybe easier to chat through instagram about all things retro. Lol yes I never knew there was a Sid justice one either. If your mate still has the hogan 93 mug let him know I’d love to buy it off him. Cheers Shaun
ReplyDeleteI was also given this mug in Easter 1992!
