There isnt an item much more reminiscent of the 1990s than the collectable plate for your wall. Why on earth these took off so heartily during the 1990s is anyones guess, but whatever the reason for their rise in popularity, WCW made sure that they didnt miss out on this cash cow. They released not just one Sting commemorative plate, but an astonishing FOUR. Its hard to imagine what room would be enhanced with the presence of a solitary dinner plate with an airbrushed wrestler adorning it, but it's just downright creepy to imagine the room that has four of the things stuck up. Especially if they are complete with these hideous chunky wooden holders, that make sure everyone knows exactly what time period these garish delights belong in. We are aware we have asked this question already but still who was the target audience for these? Were children particularly keen on collector plates they couldnt play with or even eat from? And were parents so enamoured by the WCW franchise star that they wanted a quartet of porcelain homages to him on their living room walls? Judging by how many of these things are available on eBay, the answer to both of these questions is a resounding no.
