Well, I have been watching wrestling since the mid-70’s so I guess that makes me an Automatic Major Authority. Seriously though as far as the Fiend character goes I am not that big of fan. Am I supposed to believe Husky Harris put on a hat and became a cult leader and then he put on a creepy mask and is an unstoppable Super monster? Sure he became super creepy especially with the red lighting during his matches. But the truth is I couldn’t get into the Fiend character. I hated the red lighting during his matches. And I wasn’t a fan of putting the title on him in the first place. Now Firefly Funhouse Bray is hands down his best work. Now as for the Fiend figure while I‘m not a huge fan of the character it looks like it’ll be creepy and is a great looking take on the character. So to me it’s one of the few figures that regardless of my feeling on the character looks too good in figure for to pass on. So I’ll pick it up whenever I see it locally.

Well, I have been watching wrestling since the mid-70’s OK, Boomer. I wanted to text you this morning. But unfortunately I forgot what it was about. Man it sucks getting old. They say the mind is the second thing to go...but I forget what the first is.

He's the Friend now? Damn, they really did pull the plug on the Fiend quickly. I guess it'll be as relevant as a mohawk Sheamus.
I read the whole thread. Top Picks is the series for you.

ITT: - Mattel is to blame making figures they should know will be irrelevant by the time they come out because they should be paying attention to the show's booking at all costs, and walkwithelias is a pillar of the community and things should be done his way. His is the pulse. - if you aren't the universal champion, you are entirely irrelevant. - if you watched WWE for "30+ years" it means you are an automatic authority. - championships are props because dictionary and there should be no nuance applied to anything In summary, nothing matters and everything matters. I somehow want this thread pinned. lol Vince barely does week to week. It's unfair to hold Mattel to that standard. They've done an amazing job in the last 10 years. Don't blame the toy company for the faults of the shi**y promotion.

I don't understand this complaint. You only buy figures of top stars? If you've been watching for 30 years you should be well used to this by now. WWE has a formula and has used it for years. Everyone debuts with more fan fare than they can maintain. Elias being a perfect example. Was clearly never meant to be a headliner. He was hot for what? A full year? Do you think they can sustain Elias coming out weekly with the same shtick over and over? It had to be drawn back eventually. It reminds me of Zack Ryder. Gets a half-push with Cena and Kane, WWE throws him through the ringer. Do the fans stick with him like they did Daniel Bryan? No, they mostly abandoned him. So booking and placement on the card is what dictates what you're a fan of? They aren't intentionally burying Wyatt here. It's WrestleMania. They probably put the belt on Goldberg to appeal to the casual fans who tune in once a year. It's nothing new. Does this mean you'll be rushing out to buy a Goldberg figure? Your money, do what you want. But to come on here and grandstand about not spending money on things you don't like, like you're some victim is a bit much. They never pushed Elias. They buried demon Balor. They were over. Why ? When tf was Demon Balor buried? It's probably the most protected gimmick in WWE....

I'm pretty sure Demon Balor still hasn't lost a match actually

This thread is something else lol. I can't get past the thread title. What would an elite friend even look like? Well if it was my friend in elite form it would have to have real feel hair like Jakks George “the animal” Steele because he’s the hairiest sumbitch I know.

I'm pretty sure Demon Balor still hasn't lost a match actually Samoa Joe beat him at NXT TakeOver: The End, but in WWE the “Demon” is undefeated so far.

Don't forget that Demon Balor fought Corbin and Andrade but Finn wasn't Demon vs Lesnar for the title...

I'm really sorry here, but I'm getting a kick out of this thread. It's breaking my brain. I've noted walkwithelias has posted many times about E69 Lashley. Desperately wanted it. Noted that he's probably off TV but still wants the figure. In this thread he reveals he didn't buy it after all because I guess he feels Lashley actually sucks and isn't a star anymore due to burial by WWE. This opens so many questions to me. - why does that matter? Are you just a fan of Lashley's booking? - had you bought it, would you have eventually sold it after the supposed burial? - I ask again, does this mean Goldberg is now your top want? - what do you think being buried means? Losing a match? Hey, when a player gets traded from his current team to a new team.... do you know why it’s marked down to 60% off? I’ll hang up and wait to see if you connect the dots. As for Mattel they couldn’t even get the DM Macho Man right. It’s based on the steamboat savage match and they put him in WM4 trunks and never fix it. But heck, make Roman reigns version 33 every time he adds a new Velcro to the vest. Mookie Betts red Sox jerseys still aren't on clearance where I am
