Hey guys just got out of Big Event. Spoke to some talent about legends deals and such to hopefully get some info on upcoming figures
Mick Foley - He had to quit his legends deal because there's a stipulation that he won't agree to. He said as long as WWE takes out like two sentences from the whole contract he will sign (wouldn't tell me what those two sentences were about). He said a Dude Love was to follow HOF 3 Cactus (4th DM of 2015?)
Scott Steiner on a legends deal: "worthless"
Ivan Koloff - Said he has tried to talk to Vince but Vince won't talk to him. He wants to help Rusev get over with a move he has come up with that will work well, but "it's Vince's way or the highway". Because Vince won't give him royalties, he's joined a concussion lawsuit against WWE. He said he didn't want to join but he had no option because he needs cash and WWE won't do anything for him. Sad stuff, great guy.
Nikita Koloff - Looked great as well as Ivan, said he's had some small indirect talk with WWE over the years. Nothing has come together but no real reason why it can't.
Virgil - Signed to a legends deal, he was at WWE HQ a few days ago to do a skit for the Edge and Christian show
One Man Gang/Akeem - Still on a legends deal. C'mon Bill get that OMG Flashback out!
Tatanka - On a legends deal, has been scanned by Mattel. Figures and video game appearances coming soon, he will be at Wresltemania this year.
BIG LAST NEWS:Rhyno is finalizing a legends deal! Gores for everyone coming to the WWE Mattel line soon!
Great event, can't wait for the next one and some Rhyno flashbacks!
The prob with the legends deals I think have to do with being a wwe exclusive property. That's why steiner calls it worthless cuz they actually LOSE money.
Virgil should come with fabric suit and singles run trunks underneath.
Rhyno, cool but not a high want for me persoanlly.
Tatanka - awesome, he can still go and imo should have won that battle royal.
OMG - get on it mattel.
WWE needs to treat the legends like a literal BRAND, not just a 'logo' they slap on something. I wanna see some love for these guys BEFORE THEY DIE. WWE network should bring back snme once a month. Have a legends title, no angles just promos and matches. The old guys who can still go can put on OLD SCHOOL matches and still look fine (in that style). Lawler and Mooney on commentary and mean gene backstage doing the interviews. Give them the preshow match spot on the ppvs.
Also, Sean Oliver should host tuesday night titans.
Got some nice figures comin...hopefully.
