10 Strangest Places WWE Props Ended Up

5. Randy Savage's WCW Gear - With His Wedding Photographer

And so to Pawn Stars for the first of two visits where we learn about where some of our treasured memories ended up before somebody saw some money to be made instead.

The guys are visited by a man with some luxurious Randy Savage gear from his Megapowers reunion run with Hulk Hogan during their pre-New World Order WCW run. An earnest contextualisation of the gear results in a fountain of misinformation exploding forth, but the sentiment is at least sweet from one side of the desk. The man selling spins his story in such a way to not end up particularly sympathetic.

He notes he was Savage's wedding photographer shortly before he passed away, and that he got the autographed ensemble when he went back after his death to ask for an item to remember him by. Savage's widow kindly let him into the "costume room" and he brought this with him...before electing to flog it on a television pawn show. Nice guy.

At least wrestling as a hobby came out of this particular segment in one piece...
