I know the board has had a bunch of "where is" or "can we get..." posts lately, but I was watching some old PPV's yesterday and thought "where is shamrock?" The guy was incredible. Maybe not the best on the mic, but a pure fighter. Is there some history I'm missing with him?

Shamrock, Gangrel, Godfather and debut Flash Funk are my biggest wants now from the attitude era. I hope we get some of them.

I'm not sure if this is a reason but, wrestlers who have careers outside of wrestling are probably harder to get the rights to at a reasonable price because they appeal to more than just wrestling fans.

He's not a big hole in my collection. Don't know if I would even grab him if he came out.

Either he harbors animosity towards WWE, or more likely that he just doesn't care. He made much better money in UFC, I'm sure. Doesn't he have a MMA training center now?

This is another one of those guys that I would buy in a heart beat, but can also live without in my collection. He is one of those guys that had a nice career, main evented a few PPV's, won a title or two, but in the big picture didn't change the course of wrestling. He is kind of like Kofi Kingston in my view. I would gladly add him to my collection, but he doesn't add much to it either....

I heard an interview from him no too long ago, he said he has no problem with wwe and would make a HOF deal, apparently the problems on WWEs end, but idk. I'll ju make a custom for now.

Considering he had a Jakks Classic Superstars figure (with a giant head) and was in WWE '13 game, I don't see a Shamrock figure out of the realm of possibility. He's on good terms with the company. They seem to be pretty slow to release any Corporation figures though which drives me nuts (it's like they forget that 1998-1999 exists). Would love to see him in his blue trunks. That was always my favorite look. Would be the perfect figure to include a black IC title with since he didn't really have any other accessories.

I think Shamrock would get a figure sooner rather than later. He is on good terms with WWE and could fill a nice slot in the HOF as a former IC and Tag champ as well as being on of THE most OVER guys on the roster during the AE.
He currently occupies a slot in my top 10 most wanted from Mattel. I never gave away my previous Jakk's versions of him and even made a DA custom figure....the trunks are plain but I still love it.

Either he harbors animosity towards WWE, or more likely that he just doesn't care. He made much better money in UFC, I'm sure. Doesn't he have a MMA training center now? maybe towards the end of his UFC career, matches with Tito and Ult. Fighter, but I believe I read somewhere, the main reason he went to the WWE was for the money so he could keep him GYM going. Based on his role in WWE, he should have one, and I liked him at the time, but looking back.... Eh. He wasn't bad and he did his role, but there wasn't much to his character. Dangerous bad ass isn't exactly very 3 dimensional. |

Just below the big-time players of the Attitude Era alongside The Radicalz and Jericho. Definitely need him as it gives us one of The Corporation's Big 3 along with The Rock and Bossman.

I know the board has had a bunch of "where is" or "can we get..." posts lately, but mine's different.I think it's as simple as he's not signed to a deal. |
