I'm a 37 year old lifelong wrestling fan whose idea of a nice relaxing evening consists of sitting on my deck, splitting a pack of cigarettes with my brother, and discussing the past, present, and future state of the Elite Line (primarily the flashbacks). One of our more fun topics to kick around is who is deserving of a Defining Moments Figure . Trying to predict the Defining Moments line is fun because a wrestler needs (or should) met some minimum requirements to qualify for a figure:
He(or She) has to be important (at least upper mid card)
He needs to have been part of an important (or at least interesting) moment in wrestling lore
He needs to be wearing some kind of distinguishing outfit, costume, or accessory
The DM line has been pretty cool so far. Many of the older figures are still holding their value due to the unlikelihood of re-release and I'm even a fan of the fact that the packaging hasn't really changed over the years. It provides some stability for the MIB collector's display.
For me, there are two glaring examples of figures that meet all these requirements and should be immortalized in the Defining Moments line. They are:
-Ted Dibiase from The Main Event (when Andre beat Hogan) with the white and purple tux and winged eagle belt and
-Lex Luger from the Stars and Stripes Challenge when he slammed Yokozuna on the deck of the USS Intrepid in jeans and red, white and blue shirt.
Hope I got you thinking, I'd love to hear some other ideas.

I didn't like to hear that the packaging was such a major cost. I don't care about the box as much, I want cloth accessories in this line and belts etc.
Debut goldust would've been a great one.
Gimme the wcw U.S. Title and I'd even go for a Goldberg dm.
I could name tons of macho mans and surfer stings

Legend Killer backlash 2004 or summerslam 2004 ( I know we have SS04 as a basic but a elite would be sick)

In no real order -
1. Goldberg - WCW US title, maybe a WCW stage or something
2. Hollywood Hogan - the one we saw except cloth bows - I hate those plastic ones
3. Kurt Angle - take ur pick
4. Jeff Hardy - take ur pick (although I would love them to flat release his E1 figure. Same boxing the whole thing)
5. Owen Hart - with Slammys etc
I think we have heaps of others whom could support another defining moment
In no order.
1. WCW OWN Warrior / WM 12
2. Macho Man - where to start?
3. Bret Hart - gotta be another Hitman they could make right
4. Sting - another DM sting is a must (colour / colour / colour pls)

WCW Parade Debut and BATB96 Hogan are both truly defining. Him signing immediately made WCW a threat and kicked off the Monday Night Wars. BATB96 joing The Outsiders and forming nWo needs no explanation. Thing is I don't think either need to be a DM. Both figures can reuse the HOF Hogan with slight alterations.

Smoking is bad for you man, discuss the elite line while drinking an iced tea.

I would have loved a SummerSlam '92 British Bulldog... like the E39 figure, but in SS'92 gear plus the IC belt - would have looked awesome in DM packaging.
Maybe a DM Mankind too... an Elite version of his brown tights/white shirt look, with Mr Socko and either the Hardcore or Attitude-era title (...or both!).
Then there's the obvious ones like Goldberg, Angle, Owen, Hardy...

I have 9 million pairs of shades so I'm graciously prepared to accept a fully functional scale motorcycle in exchange I agree, but I doubt Mattel would include a Motorcycle, so I think realistically they would only include a Jacket, Bandana and Shades. |

I'd pay even more than DM prices for an ABA Taker with a scale Motorcycle. Seriously been wanting that more than anything since I was a child. |

It would be a good idea for them to include it in the Create a Superstar line or something. |

I don't even want any other DM's until this becomes reality. We were showed what could have been and it was taken away. Travesty. #FreeHollywoodDM |
