Do you think they already planning to release a two pack of at least the 2 wrestlers from the final with the uk belt ?
Maybe it will be release in europe ?
Is this something you are interested to buy , here in america ?

Maybe it's great technical but so far it's bland don't know if kids would want these generic looking jobbers.

I'm only in the 5th match (started watching late) this is awful. I'm watching because I really wanna give this a chance, but I've almost fallen asleep multiple times.
This is the most bland, boring, and contrived wrestling I've ever seen. If people want figures of these guys just invest in the Create a Wrestler line because that's what these guys look like. So far Danny Burch is the only guy that has looked like an actual professional level wrestler.
Maybe they should make a 7 pack because it seems like the fans like to chant some version of Seven Nation Army for every wrestler.
I wanna finish watching before I continue my rant.

They should make the figures an UK exclusive so the Euro members here can feel special.

Its dull having the same song for every chant.... Americans dont even have a song though....just a monotonous drone. UN der TAK er THIS is AWE some LETS go CE na Ive got one.... BOR ing HE ellll In fairness at UK events Ive heard multiple conversions of football songs. In general football songs stem from pop songs and old stage songs. Last match was decent. Not a lot of investment in ring gear..... |

Funny, while watching the tournament, I was wondering how many of these threads I would come back and find on the Mattel board.

In small doses I usually like how hot and excited the U.K. Crowds are. Also a lot of these wrestlers seem to have the same backstory. They had a tough childhood, started wrestling as a teenager, got mugged at some point, got injured, here they are now. |

There is a song " you're fu&£"ng sh111t" They started singing "we've got the ball" after a rare spell on the ball after 30 mins. It was very funny, self deprecating is always appreciated. Spurs fans started singing "your f-ing sh11-t for good measure. |

I don't think you could sell the whole roster tonight because some guys were pretty forgettable. However, a two pack of the finalists with the belt? Yeah, that'd sell over here in the U.K. and America, regardless of who the finalists are.
It was okay tonight, nothing more, but I think it'll pick up tomorrow. I have tickets for tomorrow night, so I'm hoping it will be good. There's a few talented wrestlers in the tournament who just need a bit of guidance and a break into the mainstream. This tournament will hopefully give them that.
That belt, though... I can see people buying a two pack just for that!

I don't except a lot of younger Americans to understand the British style,
But I think in time you will like or maybe even become fans of Pete Dunne and Mustache Mountain.

Has there ever been a time when more companies have been making wrestling figures at the same time?

I'll tell you what they told me about the CWC (and what I am now learning):
You must first wait for the tournament to conclude. Then see which of the wrestlers are contracted by WWE. Will they get their own hour long WWEUK show or will they try to work them into Smack Down Live somehow? I don't know. Who knows. But until Pete Dunne signs a WWE deal, we're not getting a figure of him.
By the way, I haven't watched the thing yet, just saying from a Mattel standpoint they probably can't/won't make any of these figures until the talent is signed and then they generate some interest by appearing on WWE TV.

To get a little off topic,
All of the dudes in the tournament are as boring as watching paint dry. Bland as vanilla yogurt. I wouldn't buy a single figure of any of these guys.
But to your point, probably the winner of the tournament will get a figure first with that awful looking UK title.

The belt is the only good thing about this tournament.

Well, going by the last two sets of Battlepacks (43.5 + 44), they don't come with any accessories anymore...  |
