Well yes today we've heard Double J Jeff Jarrett JAdoubleREdoubleT has been inducted into the HOF (Hall of Frankincense) Does that mean we'll be seeing a Mattel retro? I've only waited 23 years for the famous Orange series.
If you think WWE & Mattel should release Jeff Jarrett with a Orange backing card along with Diesel, Backlund & MOM give me a hell yeah...
HELL YEAH.

HELL YEAH!
Not gonna happen though, at least not the way we want it and the packaging. I hope this means we will get Double J though! Along with Diesel, USA Luger and others from the period. Don't see MoM happening though.

So with today’s developments, where do things stand with this dream coming true?
They seem to be on decent terms with Nash, Luger and now Jarrett (potentially), but Mabel’s estate sued WWE, was Mo involved with that? What about the estate of Mike Shaw, are there any known issues there?
Still can’t see the series happening even if they were all on good terms, but there’s a little bit more hope now.

At least there's hope for the upper card guys, Jarrett, Diesel, Luger. Don't really see MoM or especially Booger happening even if they were under contract. Unless the line goes on for ten years and they run out of guys to do.

Not much talk of retros lately, glad this has sparked talk about someone a lot of the Hasbro collectors have dreamed of.
On a side note, The Flair wave is supposedly due out March 1, but still no preorder on RSC?

Yes please. We have waited a long long time. Only need to sort things out with Owen harts wife then it's a real possibility of seeing what should have been the orange card set

Blonde Sting is a huge want for old school Hasbro fans, and they don’t seem interested in putting that one out; so I’d say no.

Only need to sort things out with Owen harts wife then it's a real possibility of seeing what should have been the orange card set Wasn't the consensus that Owen wasn't to be in the orange set but the one after (the black set) or was that just speculation? I thought it was: Diesel (heel), Luger (face USA), Jarrett, Mabel (face), Mo (face) and Booger in the orange series according to the drawings that surfaced?

Mattel needs to stop trolling the retro fans whose good will and patronage helped launch this line and make it successful. We want Diesel, Jarrett, Backlund, Lawler, Yankem, MOM, USA Luger. I don't care how many sets you stretch it over- just give us the guys we need! HAKU! BARBARIAN!

Man, don't I wish. Doesn't seem like they have any interest in making retro figs of retro wrestlers, but I'd personally buy it in a heartbeat.

I don't care how many sets you stretch it over- just give us the guys we need! HAKU! BARBARIAN! Yeah, I mean even if it's the whole issue of not being able to move them or appealing to the new, younger crowd. And I understand the whole issue of not being able to sign certain former stars for legal reasons etc. But if they get the green light and if they could just sneak in one of those names per series or every other maybe. At least we are getting legends included though-like all of series 2 and the way they've been sprinkled in to the other sets. At least it hasn't been all new stars only. I would have still bought them simply because they are Hasbro style figures, but it would have really been lacking if we didn't get new versions of the classic ones that some collectors may have missed out on the first time around or that people lost, broke or sold. I wouldn't worry too much with Diesel though at least. I think it's just a matter of time before we see a proto pic of him. And a new Ramon or NWO Hall is a safe bet too.
