I'd love to see an LOD re-release In one of the q&a's Bill said that if they had the rights to LOD, LOD 2000 would have been the next figures for the team. I know it was a short lived gimmick, but I think they could be some of the best figures in the line if they ever get made. It was such a unique and wild look. I always loved the LOD 2000 gimmick & look, just hated the whole Hawk is an addict storyline which unfortunately lasted almost their entire run.

Yes, as wrestlers, they know the risks. Anything can happen and they KNOW that.... and they do go to work, knowing that 1 screw up, and they could be seriously hurt. Policemen, firemen, football players, pretty much any profession that requires physical activity has hazards to them the slightest mistake can cost you dearly. Yet somehow pro wrestlers shouldn't be taken care of? Seems very wrong to me. Most of them have coverage through their Unions or Union negotiated benefits. Similar to how Actors often have it through Sag, not the individual production companies they work for.

I remember Jesse Ventura talking about trying to get a union of wrestler's together like SAG, but according to him Hogan told Vince what Jesse was trying to do and Vince basically squelched any chance of getting one at that time in the mid 80s.

It actually came out in testimony during Ventura's lawsuit against WWF in the early 90's that Hogan was the one who tipped off Vince. So it's more than just Ventura accusing Hogan of, but something Vince/Hogan confirmed under oath.

Glad Hogan tipped Vince off about the prospect of a union, WWE would be a very different, for the worse, beast than it is today

Kyros is appealing the decision. Hes gonna keep chasing the wwe until hes legally banned from doing so. He filed Six lawsuits against them. He should have been barred sooner than that. If a judge can ban Martha Hart from filing anymore lawsuits against WWE, so can this judge

Not really. You go to work knowing it will be physically demanding. No one goes to work knowing they will be seriously hurt. I also feel that wwe should hook these men and women up with medical insurance. Honestly if anyone walks out of their front door they are putting themselves at risk of dying from anything. I knew my first day of wrestling school how dangerous what I was doing is. I didn't need someone to tell me that it was dangerous. Anyone who gets into a ring and isn't aware of the serious health risks is an idiot. Nobody deserves compensation because of their own stupidity

Nobody deserves compensation because of their own stupidity If anything, the guys mentioned in this suit are preventing themselves from makin more money with future figures and maybe a HOF appearance. Also when I was wrestling I got a serious concussion and stopped. I didn’t need someone telling me to stop I just knew I valued my brain and my education more than getting hurt by some jerk at an indie show. Anyone watch Deadliest Catch? You think those guys sue?

i hope all of you guys sayin they dont desevre anything, NEVER sue anyone for being hurt for any reason. whether its falling off a building/truck working construction, a box falling on you at a warehouse, a car accident, a neighbors dog biting you, anything. you guys knew the risks working or driving or going outside, right! and i doubt they knew they'd have CTE 20+ yrs later.
