Do any of you prefer the hardcore ring as apposed to the RSR or ASR? I've really thought about picking one up lately for customizing.

Seth seems to be pretty close to the bands he's into. He should convince Vince to shell out the cash so he can have a theme from an outside artist. I feel like that makes a character stand out and seem more important? Not that that's always the case. I just feel like when Punk got Cult of Personality as his theme it was like, "oh wow he's finally made it big time."

I was finally able to get the 2 RSC exclusive Kanes that have eluded me for so long. I also ended up with Elite 4 Kane, which is going to be a good throwback once our Shane McMahon figure is finally made. Big thanks to JDSFullmetal. Also trying something new with my display. I want to display the iconic moments along with their respected wrestler, so I've started off with Mankind KOTR 98. If you guys have any suggestions feel free to throw them out there.

That's a good collection! So bummed that I passed on LOD at retail.

-Brock is boring at this point. Vince continues to pour money into him while under-utilizing stars he's paying 1/8 the money. Brock Smash, rinse, and repeat.
-Cena will be a larger than life star outside of the WWE within the next few years (see Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson)
-The New Day has run it's course.
-Zack Ryder will never be given a fair shot in the WWE. It's past redeeming at this point.
-Nostalgia says, I enjoyed the 2001 Invasion Angle (even though I was a 10 year old in the crowd when Angle turned on the WWF. I sobbed)

This guy's tweet pretty much sums it up.
We all know Foley can never wrestle again, but I wouldn't be upset if this feud was revisited just one last time.

They're supposed to be heavily focused on in the new 24/7 hardcore title DVD coming out next week. I'm hopeful we can finally get a Raven and/or RVD flashback !

What is your pipe dream figure (of past wrestlers from the company) that Mattel will most likely never make?

Lucky you....he's the most elusive WWE figure I've tried to track down at retail since e16 Nash......which i never found. Lol......i will not suffer the same fate with Balor here though. Congrats on the pickup man! I couldn't find him anywhere at retail. I finally bit the eBay bullet, but I definitely don't regret it.

Angle v Shane at KOTR and HHH vs Cactus at Royal Rumble will always hold a special place with me. The psychology behind and during Trips vs Jack, was perfect. And Shane O Mac vs Angle was just a spectacle of violence. Totally forgot about Angle vs Shane. The spots through the glass windows were so insane. When it doesn't break the first time and Shane just lands right on his head. Seriously feared for his life.

And just like that I'm more excited for Dean vs Dolph than anything else.

What are some of your favorite WWE hardcore style matches?
I can probably narrow mine down to: HHH vs Shawn Michaels @ Summerslam 2002 HHH vs Cactus Jack @ RR 2000 Jericho vs Punk @ Extreme Rules 2012 Dreamer vs RVD (Final match involving the hardcore title)

Picked up Elite 41 Demon Finn Balor on eBay. Overpaid at $37 but I know I'll never catch this figure at retail now.

Still have a lot of work to do. No real room for a stage or anything but I've ordered a crowd backdrop. I have it setup on a Cosco 34x34 table. Also have the classic ring and cage but don't plan on displaying it as much until I have the steel guardrails. Made the timekeeper area from the baracade that came with the first elite reigns.

So many good releases coming soon. Debut Goldust, Lord Steven Regal, and a Lawler that actually has a good headscan.

Great stuff. E29 punk is very underrated! Also like the horror collection Thanks man. I need to get the MITB attire Punk. Probably my next big purchase after completing my arena.

Sweet setup! Those ultimate terminators look great. I'm waiting on the ultimate predators. Feel like you are missing Finn balor in your collection but a helluva nice collection. I'd love to get the elite demon Balor but can't find it for a decent price.
