Holding two titles in an era where there are only 4 is pretty important. Plus White Ranger Rollins <3 We've already got him in white, I very much doubt they'll release him in white again Bill already said a white elite is in progress

At this point, it's just a name for the line, don't get too hung up on the literal meaning. I'd say Randy Savage's Defining Moment was WrestleMania 4, winning the WWF title for the first time. The figure we got was WrestleMania 7, where he lost a retirement match, still an amazing figure and great moment. The DM line was just a way to get us figures with a bigger budget for deco and accessories(that Ricky Steamboat DM, for example, is definitely not anything close to his Defining Moment). Some of the figures are incredible and absolutely justified their higher price point. Recently however, that has not been the case and I think that is the main gripe with the line. Agreed. You guys can't take the title literally anymore. There's lots and lots of defining moments for different guys but that's all they are, moments. More often than not, they're gonna be guys in their wrestling gear if Mattel was truly going after "Defining Moments". This line is just a way of getting us big deco on guys we normally wouldn't be able to get due to deco and soft goods budget

CM Punk's pipe bomb would have made a great defining moment figure. I know many people have done a fix-up of this, but I would have loved to have gotten one in the packaging. this

Punk won't get a DM until he's on better terms with Vince, but how could you not have made a Summer of Punk 2011 when you had the chance?

A long hair Rowdy Piper with cloth Kilt/Black Cat Tee and the IC title Don't feel like Roddy has really had a good figure from Mattel, I don't have much knowledge on mattels, but there is only the entrance great and legends 2 pack correct?

Maybe if he totally gets his butt kicked in UFC and WWE throws a bunch of money and guarantees his way then there is the slightest of possibilities. But I would not count on it. Pipebomb Punk isn't hard to make. All the parts are out there. Hardest part is locating them all. T-shirt from TRU exclusive WM27 Austin, All Stars Punk for tights and boots, E16 Punk for torso, arms, and head.

RVD cashing in his money in the Bank against Cena I always thought would make a great defining moments figure. You can give him the wwe title, the Ecw heavyweight championship belt, and his custom money in the Bank briefcase. If not maybe as a future ringside exclusive figure

They had Savage cutting promos months before his death. They brought back Bret and even give him the U.S. title. They found a way to induct Bruno. Tell me in 10-20 years we won't see Punk inducted or sign a legends contract. I see it.
