Foam fingers will be a staple of sporting events and wrestling shows until the end of time. There's nothing like seeing that happy kid in the front row eagerly waving his 'Hulk Rules' foam hand when looking back at old shows.

Had he been swinging a foam 2x4 around though, things may have been a little different.

If there's one thing WWE have consistently shown over the years, it's that the company will sell anything to make a quick buck. That's admirable, but it's a little strange when they're charging for a piece of foam painted to look like a boring old plank of wood.

Designed to mimic 'Hacksaw' Jim Duggan's trusty weapon of choice, this item is still for sale on eBay today. "Own a piece of wrestling history", the listings cry out, as though the duff toy would do anything other than collect dust.

This probably sold pretty well back during Duggan's prime. No wonder people are trying to offload them today!
