WWF Wrestlers Visit Acclaim Entertainment

From 1989 to 1999, Acclaim Entertainment held the contract for WWF/WWE. During this time period they released a slew of wrestling videos games on multiple different platforms (including the Wrestlemania Arcade Game, WWF in your House, WWF Royal Rumble, etc...)
This past thanksgiving a close friend of the family, and former employee of Acclaim, surprised me with something amazing. A photo album of snap shots taken on set in 1995 of some of the biggest wrestlers of the time, hanging out in their offices and being tracked in front of a green screen for modeling the games.
Being a huge wrestling fan, I thought the photos were pretty much amazing on their own. But as an artist, I actually found them rather compelling.












You can see the rest of them on my flickr page here.

Thank you Aileen and Louis for sharing these!!
