Letters keep coming….
Kelli and I met Bud at Carson's Pro Wrestling World when WWF/E Hall Of Famer Jimmy"Superfly"Snuka came around 2000.Since then,We have gone there ever since for autograph signings. Like many people have said and it is worth repeating, Bud made sure everything was affordable and fair!! We have also met Harley Race,Tito Santana,Greg Valentine, Demolition,Brutus Beefcake, Terry Funk,The Midnight Express,The Rock+Roll Express,The Iron Sheik,Nikolai Volkoff,Paul Orndorff,Billy Gunn,Tammy"Sunny"Stych,Larry Zybsko,"Superstar Billy Graham,Al Snow,Sabu and so many other wrestling greats that it would take a very long time to complete the list.
The store itself a museum that pays tributes to the wrestling greats from the 1960's to today!! I will be there for the Shane Douglas autograph signing. Bud, Kelli and I wish you all the best and you certainly deserve it!! You are a true class act!!! Make no mistake about it!!!
Stephen and Kelli Faust Easton,PA.

When I first began reading the batch of letters about Bud my stomach became sickened because I thought he had died. I frantically read, and read to see that he was alright, but his store was closing. This made me feel alot better, but still sad for his loss of his store. Bud was one of the first people who allowed me to send him my classic figures to get signed. With his help I got to know many others who have helped me get figures signed due to his name. Without him I wouldn't have the hookups of getting to know the countless others who help me get my figures signed. He cared enough to help me, a random guy off the internet he didn't know, to get my figures signed. His kindness, and help will truly be a loss in the wrestling community. I wish him the best of luck and happiness in life.

I saw the comments readers have posted about Bud Carson and I'd like people to know my one experience dealing with Bud.
Living in California I'm away form alot of autograph signings and I sent my autographed belt to Bud so he could have Superstar Bill Graham sign it.
I sent Bud the amount he was asking for to pay for a autograph and a photo of SBG holding or signing my belt.
I told Bud that I would have a buddy go to the autograph signing and take a picture of my belt with SBG (to prove the authenticity of the autograph) and for Bud to NOT take the picture.
My friend couldn't make the show and Bud didn't take a pic of SBG with my belt (as I requested) so Bud and I spoke on the phone and he refunded me the cost of the photo and sent me a check back to me in a few days.
Not only that but when we did speak on the phone we spoke for a good while about wrestling and how we each got to love the sport of the squared circle.
He is a very nice, genuine, honest AND a good business man.
When so many people can say good things about you then you KNOW your leading a successful life.
To Bud, may God bless you and your family.

Hi Georgiann,
My name is Paul and I live in the UK. I have just read the review on Carsons PWW. I first got in touch with Bud via the internet 4 years ago when he had some items for sale that I wanted. I was so facinated with the items he sold, I soon started to call him on a regular basis. He became an instant friend of mine and I have since visited him twice. I am very choked to hear that his store is closing and hope that somehow, he is still involved. The wrestling world cannot afford to lose Bud Carson. He is one of the kindest people I have ever met and through our road journeys when I have come over the the States, I have learnt so much about how he runs his business and operates in the wrestling world through promoting his own shows.
Attached are pictures of myself and my girlfriend with Bud from July this year of when we visited.
God bless Bud Carson and Pro Wrestling World.
Thank you Bud.
Take care,
Paul
