Yes, at the very least. He's another that they could make a few versions of. I notice Terry Gordy was erased from history in WWE 2K17, so it looks like there's no figure of him on the horizon. The guys at 2k tried to get Terry gordy in the game for the showcase but his estate couldn't work a deal said by hayes himself Ah, so that's what it was! I always wonder why a deal can't be worked out. Do the estate/ex-wrestler want more money than offered? Or less exclusivity? I can imagine any contract that has anything to do with a WWE tie-in to be quite restrictive. Who knows.

Basics are for kids. Elite flashbacks are for collectors more knowledgeable of wrestlings past. Bright colored surfer stings should be in the elite line not basic. Look at all the flashbacks in the line and you will tell me there is no place for surfer stings?! Huh?? ....you're crazy I can already feel the wrath of the sting fanboys but nope, not really. I'll take ANY first time in the line Flashback over any surfer sting and I'm someone who actually wants a surfer sting. So because you will take any first time in a line FB over Sting that means he'll pegwarm? We have had two surfer Sting figure and other than the 4 DM with laced boots that a KMart store is asking $30 for neither one is warming the pegs around here. As for wrestlers I am surprised we haven't gotten yet. Yes more Surfer Sting figures top my list... Surfer Sting Magnificent Muraco - He was on Mattel's very first poll Savio Vega - I think beside Muraco the only other name from the original poll not to get a figure yet Triple H - hHh trunks Jericho - more old school looks. Hollywood Hogan - figured he would have been fast tracked before some of the other Hogan's we got. Steiner Brother - would have thought/hoped they'd be signed by now. British Bulldogs - Like the Steiners I would have hoped they could have been signed by now.

any ref, even a generic one Personally I'd rather have no referee than a generic one. The real referees deserve to be recognized in figure form. I'd particularly love to see some classic WCW referees like Nick Patrick, Randy Anderson, Mark Curtis, Charles Robinson, etc. if Mattel can figure out a way to offer less popular stars like them in a way that makes sense financially. ESR or Network Spotlight ring pack ins, Mike Chioda and Chris Jericho, Li'l Naitch and AJ Styles, Tim White and Andre the Giant, Nick Patrick and Scott Hall, Fonzie and RVD, Earl Hebner and Bret Hart, etc.

Greg Valentine,Harley Race, & Bob Backlund
For current roster I'd say the Prime Time Players (even though I wouldn't buy) the guys have been around forever and were tag champs, I don't get the hold up.

Magnificent Muraco - He was on Mattel's very first poll ...was there anyone else on that fans-choice poll that Mattel hasn't released?

WCW Referees, Headbangers..many some of you all have some pretty high expectations.
Surfer Sting is the obvious choice. You essentially have another situation like you do with Warrior & Macho Man where you can pump them out in multiple colors.
Im also surprised to see we've never had a Ric Flair released in the Elite line. Actually we only have 2 (3 if you do a fixup on the new DM).
Greg Valentine, Sherri, Mean Gene and quite honestly Donald Trump. I know Trump is controversial but you'd sell as many to Trump fans as you would to anti-trumpers who'd want to burn it. The money you'd make off it would be crazy!

I'm so surprised that Mattel are yet to make figures of The Undertaker in his WrestleMania 14 and Judgement Day 2000 attires. Those two attires in figure form could easily make great Defining Moments figures if they were made correctly. Maybe it's just a matter of fitting them both into the line somehow. Undertaker has already had two Defining Moments figures so maybe that's all it is. I'll still be very surprised if we never get these two figures though.
