So with Covid limiting the amount of wrestler on TV, does that mean next year all the figure that will be announced will only be those wrestling now? Bill has said that figures released are sometimes based on how much TV time they get.
Does that leave room for legends to replace some others in the line?
Which wrestlers are you hoping to see released next year that have been wrestling since quarantine happened?

He's just going to release his fantasy japanese line of Nakamura, Io and Asuka in as many different outfits as possible.
Oh and Top Picks 2021 will be Rollins, AJ, Finn and Braun, both sets.

Sounds to me like a genuinely great excuse to start catching up on Legends and various attires that we've all wanted for so long.

I’ll never understand why when doing a legend, you do an attire from a magazine shoot, or on a main event show that nobody has ever seen until they have to google and research it. |

Which wrestlers are you hoping to see released next year that have been wrestling since quarantine happened? That’s a great observation, I really don’t know. I guess they have countless attires they haven't made for top guys that haven’t been on tv, just to keep them relevant. But they haven't appeared in new gear in almost a year so it definitely puts constraints on what they can make. I hope they go heavy on Legends but I can also see them coming out with a new style figure like the MOTU or Retro line so that they can have a fresh slate of characters/ attires to pick from |

A macho, warrior, taker etc in an outfit you don’t recognise is still clearly that person. Why do you need to know what show it was from? |

Why would you want a figure of an attire that was never wrestled in over an attire that’s iconic that hasn’t been done yet? Why make a figure perfect to an attire, but give it a boot color that wasn’t used with that attire? Why give a guy hair when he’s suppose to be bald ? Why make a guy bald when he’s suppose to have hair? I mean if you like to buy figures that’s not done right, then more power to you. |

Some of those example like hair are silly though - macho has 1001,000 attires in his career (I counted) and you might not know them all off the top of your head. I can understand wanting to know eras for display etc but not to specific date/show - that’s just me though, each to their own |

So you can have the Ultimate Warrior take on John Cena in a Falls Count Anywhere match, Gorilla Press him on the Raw Entrance stage, then throw him off the rafters and through the ring. Theyre toys. People use them to create matches that never happened so why would a minor issue like not or never wearing the exact attire matter. |

LOL. I need to sign my son up for swimming lessons so he doesn't drown in the sea of Finn Balor basics flooding every store we visit.

Disruptions are going to be less due to COVID directly and more because they've been so inconsistent with booking. So many pushes have been dropped cold, especially since Heyman was fired. It's hard enough to predict who will sell a year out with injuries and normal challenges. But when guys are going from being heavily featured to Main Event in a matter of weeks, it's going to result in some figures that tank at retail.
