Don West got me on an impulse buy again ... and I'm OK with that
Simply put, Don West got me again.
If you're a collector of a certain age, then you know the past entertainment value of the past Shop At Home hobby heavyweight who got more than a few people to "dial in now" for their latest shot at some cardboard treasures.
This isn't exactly a scenario like that one, but a recent tweet by a past wrestling star piqued my curiously and led me to eBay and that then led me to ShopImpact.com, which is the website of Impact! Wrestling, one of few WWE competitors these days, and there was West with a deal that I figured ... why not?
