I would love Yankem to add to my 95 collection lol.
If it goes by Network ratings, I demand you all start watching the Bulldogs vs the Rougeaus at Summerslam '88.

its based on who is under contract and who is approved to be made by the wwe. I assume anyone under a current contract such as kane can be made under any gimmick that person used as long as wwe approves it. as for the comments about Oz i too would love to see this as a figure and would think comic con exclusive would be a great chance for a gimmick like this to be made. This is one thing i always wondered and always wanted asked in a Q and A. If i wrestler is under contract can they make any gimmick of him. But yeah i wouldn't mind an Issac Yankem. Something new and different instead of like someone else said the 20th warrior and macho man. I do love them but i like to see variety too. I'd say yes they most likely can if wwe own or have the gimmick/rights at the time of production but like with all wwe merch it would be up to wwe if it gets released or not so they would still have to approve it |

I'd buy an Oz in a heartbeat. One of my favorite "so bad it's good" gimmicks. Man, a gimmicks gone wrong would be such a sweet line. Issac Yankem Oz The Mummy Glacier he was cool, but da faq? Baseball mcShwartz ( Brooklyn brawler) Tazzmaniac Max Moon Taurus  I remember a guy in WWF with a bull head. Took a guess on his name. Gobbly Gooker Mantaur. |

If this is true, then we all need to watch every match featuring Kevin Nash as "Oz". That is a flashback worthy of the DM treatment   Vinne Vegas first |

We got Brutus Beefcake and Shockmaster after appearances on the Edge & Christian show. It might help in some cases as Beefcake was off limits for a while.

Should be hot? No. No it shouldn't Also that has zero to do with it I thought it was a fairly hot topic. If ratings did affect WWE to request more match specific superstars or even first time in the line figures due to activity on the Network. I'd say its been a great conversation so far. But really,imgagine if this played a role in releases? So much of the Network would get spammed. Its almost a win/win buisness model. |

Well, I'd have to wonder if there would be a conflict with the licensing for "Wizard of Oz" merch..... Kind of like, they could never give CM Punk his Pepsi tattoo..... Pepsi owns that. Is a big green guy named "Oz" covered by intellectual property? I think the estate of L. Frank Baum, or whoever owns the rights to Wizard of Oz could have a valid case if Mattel tried to market an Oz toy...... |

Here is how they make flashbacks:
1) Is the talent under contract? (You can watch all the matches of Jeff Jarrett on The Network that you want, but since he's not under any sort of deal, no Double J/Roadie Two Pack for you)
2) Will the figure sell? (This is why Barry Windham is in a Four Horsemen Four Pack and was not a singles release as The Stalker)
So the short answer is... No. What people watch on The Network has nothing to do with what flashbacks are made. Also, though everyone seems to be discussing terrible gimmicks, what about those who have The Network and spend all of their time watching ECW? If we watch Barely Legal enough times will we get that Sandman/Terry Funk/Stevie Richards three pack?

Or, King Kong Bundy was released as just Bundy, to avoid a conflict with whomever owns the name King Kong. So maybe if they released Oz as The Wizard or something generic. But I think in this case, altering the name of the character would hurt the already expected low sales. |
