Trevor Wilson is a lifelong professional wrestling fan and collector. He has said that one of his biggest regrets from childhood was the apparent loss of his original LJN wrestling ring and blue steel cage during a family move, which he believes may have been stolen by movers. Despite that loss, Wilson has maintained an extensive collection of LJN wrestling figures, which was later expanded with rare figures gifted to him by fellow comedian Hunter Collins. He keeps the collection on display in his basement and has also amassed a large collection of professional wrestling T-shirts, though he has said he is considering downsizing it due to its size.
