Love this era, the early 90s was when I first started watching WCW, the Sting v Rude, Sting v Vader, Steamboat v Rude feuds were awesome. They had a lot of great young talent mixed with older guys which made for great matches. I would like to see:
Sting (any attire during this time would be great) Total Package Lex Luger (he wore more colorful attires during this run, would be interesting to get one in his yellow or blue attire) Ric Flair Ricky the Dragon Steamboat (haven't had a Dragon from WCW yet) Ravishing Rick Rude (haven't had a Rick Rude from WCW yet) Ron Simmons (glad to see he will be coming out soon with the Replacement WCW World Title Belt) the Great Muta (one of my favorites from WCW, never had a Muta Figure, would be nice) Nikita Koloff Stunning Steve Austin (long overdue) The Hollywood Blondes The Steiner Brothers Another Road Warriors Set (different face paint) Paul Ellering The Natural Dustin Rhodes Shane Douglas Terrance Taylor Greg the Hammer Valentine (Only there for a little while but still, we haven't had a Hammer figure and that's ridiculous) Diamond Studd (just because) Vinnie Vegas (just because) Mean Mark Callous (just because) Sid Vicious Davey Boy Smith Cactus Jack Jake the Snake Roberts The Nasty Boys (They wore green and blue shirts instead of there WWF black shirts) Dr. Death Steve Williams and Terry Bam Bam Gordy Paul E. Dangerously Jim Ross Jesse the Body Ventura

WCW from 1991-1995 gets a bad rap, but I enjoyed it a lot. I would like to have "The Natural" Dustin Rhodes Shane Douglas (blond mullet babyface) Stars and Stripes Arn Anderson (white trunks, TV or Tag Team Championship) Kurasawa/Manabu Nakanishi

Not nearly enough love for the First Lady of WCW, Missy Hyatt, in this thread or these forums. She was an absolute goddess in her WCW days. It's a crime how many "divas" have been made, but not Missy.
The Alexandra York gimmick was great too. I'd love to get her in a battle pack with Terrance Taylor or Michael Wallstreet.

WCW from 1991-1995 gets a bad rap, but I enjoyed it a lot. I agree, if you look at the talent they had on their roster at the time, it was a nice mixture of older talent (that helped with the 80s wrestling boom) and up-and-coming talent (that helped with the late 90s) boom. They had a lot of talent, WCW just sucked at marketing their talent. They had Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, Ricky Steamboat, Rick Rude, Jake Roberts, Bobby Eaton, Barry Windham, Larry Zbyszko, Paul Orndorff, Nikita Koloff, Michael PS Hayes, Jimmy Garvin, Butch Reed, Steve Williams, Terry Gordy, Sting, Vader, Ron Simmons, Lex Luger, the Steiner Brothers, Dustin Rhodes, Shane Douglas, Sycho Sid, the British Bulldog, Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, Brian Pillman, Cactus Jack, and Steve Austin. I heard on a few youtube shoot videos from Cowboy Bill Watts and Jim Cornette that WCW was trying to minimize the losses in money at that time so they did so by reducing marketing and production. I think it was Jim Cornette that said that Bill Watts decided to go back to producing shows like they did in the 70s and early 80s, limited set designs, smaller arenas, and less pyrotechnics. I think Bill Watts also said that he was to try and get guys for much less than they were wanting to help save money, if he could get a guy who wanted 2 million for 500,000 then he would (Jake is a perfect example of that). Since guys weren't getting the money they wanted, they didn't stay long in WCW if they could go else where, either Japan or WWF.

I'd like to see a Ricky Steamboat and Dustin Rhodes two pack with the wcw tag team championships in the hall of Champions line Don't think I would want them in the two pack sets, i think the sets are basics. But if they came in their own elite hall of champions packages each with a title belt I'd definitely go for that.

I wasnt a fan of the WWF New Generation at all but WCW during that time kept my interest in wrestling alive.

I wasnt a fan of the WWF New Generation at all but WCW during that time kept my interest in wrestling alive. I didn't mind the WWF New Generation era, though it wasn't as good as the previous era in the WWF. That was mainly due to the fact that they didn't have a very deep roster like they did during the Hulk-a-Mania years. And their tag team division after the Steiner Brothers left was very lack-luster (and didn't get better until 1998). The top of the roster during the New Generation era was pretty good, Bret Hart, Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Razor Ramon, Diesel, Owen Hart, Davey Boy Smith, Lex Luger, Yokozuna, Bam Bam Bigelow, Mankind, Goldust, among a few others. But there really wasn't much after that. A lot of that had to do with the steroid trial, they were spending a lot on the trial and the wrestling product suffered. But I do agree with you about WCW, I started watching WCW a lot during that period. I really liked the talent they had, each year they seemed to get a little better.
