I know I'm an old fart on these forms but just wondering if anyone else has any interest for elite versions of the dream team?
I don't know if brutus or the hammer have signed legends contracts but I sure hope within the next 5 years we can get to these guys. I'm pretty sure the barber gimmick was more popular but as a kid the dream team was one of my favourite heel tag teams along with sheik and volkoff

I'd say good probability mattel could get Brutus, don't know if they have the guts to make him. Doubt they would sign Valenine, last thing I heard was his company relations weren't very good

That Shiek/Volkoff pack warmed for like literally 3 years. I am pretty sure that's what would happen with these two.

Valentine has/had an existing legends contract with mattel. With Hulk & Jimmy signed, hopefully an interest in Brutus will come about for a Mega-maniacs set.

It would be a great way to get the classic belts also, oh well probably a long shot.

I for one would love to see the dream team produced. Beefcake's flashy tights and Valentine's robe could make what may seem a mundane set on the surface look amazing! These guys were the tag champs for the latter part of '85 and early '86 when Hulk Hogan and the WWF were really beginning to hit their stride.

I would love it. Loved their feud with the Bulldogs. Bonus would be a Luscious Johnny V manager figure. But I know that'll never happen.
I may have to break out my old LJN's to relive the good old days.

Growing up in the Mid-Atlantic territory, I'd love to get an Elite Valentine, but I've never had much love for Brutus.

Very little known fact but what we all refer to as the classic tag belts (they have been through about 5 different versions) was actually first worn by Windham & Rotunda. Whom lost them they very first time they wore them against the dream team.

Did not know that... I think they did the same thing when Hogan lost the title to Andre. That was the first time I remember seeing the winged eagle championship belt.
More on the Dream Team... always love their matches. Valentine would always start and wear the opponents down. Beefcake would tag in here and there, but Valentine seemed to spend the most time in the ring. Gorilla Monsoon would always say that Valentine would get better and better as the match went along.

The Dream Team is one of my top wants for Elite Flashbacks! They were one of the first tag teams that I remember and it'd be perfect if they were made in their LJN attires. Actually, I'd like to see all the LJN figures made as Flashbacks...Even Corporal Kirchner!

Any OLD timers remember that vignette video of Brutus Beefcake shown on Tuesday night titans, dirty dancing with luscious Johnny in a male strip club when they were building his character up

I'd love a dream team BUT I'd rather have brutai and the hammer in singles looks first. These 2 NOT being made yet is a total joke. I don't know how there's a doink the clown (which I do want, he;s gonna look great) BEFORE these 2 LEGENDS. C'mon... |

yeah back then we didn't have "replay" access like we do today so no one really noticed the new belt and since we were kids, I thought it was done sctrictly for savage at WM 4 lol but if you watch the main event...I believe in Hogan's pretaped interview or something he's wearing the old belt and then comes to the ring with the new belt or something along thoses line haha. Hogan might be the only wwe superstar to hold 5 or 6 versions of the same wwf/e title |

Greg valentine was a jobber in his last few years in wwf Pac no doubt Valentine was doing a ton of jobs in his last years in the wwf, but he was a TOP guy during the Rock n Wrestling era. He was even booked to win the world title in 81 I believe, or he did win in and it was never recognized. Historians help me out here |

These guys were the tag champs for the latter part of '85 and early '86 when Hulk Hogan and the WWF were really beginning to hit their stride. these two CRUSHED the tag team division - demolishing every team. The dream team were sick, they probably broke them up cuz brutus wanted to be face and Dino Bravo was known to be a pain in the ass, thinking he was still high profile main event talent when he wasn't lol so they put in brutus spot just to shut him up. Even Valentine has NO IDEA why they were broken up, he wanted to stay together cuz he knew how good they worked together. |
