WWF Hasbro Sound Module

This sound module was a UK exclusive that came with Hasbo’s WWF wrestling rings. They offered eight different sound effects to enhance your matches. Some of these were pretty poor, the slams like noises were terrible and you could barely make out the one…two…three. As a result nobody I knew regularly replaced the battery in it especially as it got in the way; on TV the brawls outside the ring never had a big sound module to slam opponents into (at the time anyway).

However it was still an excellent extra to own, hitting “1,2,3!” ringing the bell and having a poor man’s Howard Finkel say The winner” was a nice ritual to end your match.
I was also piping in crowd cheers long before Goldberg chants and the seagull pop, it would have been better if one of the slams was replaced by booing (these days I’d like hasBRO to include a “you know it” button to go with the "Woo"s).

So overall it was fun bonus but was definitely a jobber compared with the main-event.
