I don't plan on buying another AEW figure until Dr. Britt has one. However...
If I were to get a Cody, it would be the regular Series 4. I attended Fyter Fest in Daytona.

I got a one year Network subscription, in three month gift-card form, for my birthday this year. By the time the switchover happens, I'll have six months in cards left over. I wonder if the leftover cards will be wasted? If so, I have a friend in another country I can give the codes to.
Still, that's a bummer, if so.

Great job. I wonder who's behind the mystery towards HBK. Can't wait to keep reading!

These are some great signings for NXT. I've been a fan of Priscilla Kelly for some time, so I'm glad she's getting this opportunity. I was hoping they would sign her after the Mae Young classic. Better late than never. I'm not as familiar with Elayna Black, but she looks good in the ring from what I've seen so far. I like her as a team with Kelly in the Dusty Classic. I don't know much about Lacey Ryan at all. I've heard good things, so I'm curious to see some in-ring work from her. Interesting she is teaming with Marina Shafir in the Dusty Classic. I wonder what is going on with Jessamyn Duke? She's moved from active wrestler to content producer for 'Up Up Down Down'. So, she's still with the company, just not in-ring.

For me...
AT&T TV Now (for traditional channels) Netflix Hulu Disney Plus ESPN Plus (got it in the package deal) WWE Network HBO MAX (Free with our AT&T Wireless plan)
Totally worth it. We watch something on everything.

Sad to know that about Hughes and Candy. That story about his reaction to O'Hara not having her own trailer sounds like a classic Candy, standing up for a friend kind of move. It would have been stretch having his character show up, but I guess they could have done something along the lines of Kevin encountering him in New York and helping him in some way. But I agree it would have seemed a bit too forced. Then again, the sequel can be seen as a bit far fetched too, in that Kevin runs into Marv and Harry again nearly 800 mile away from the last time he encountered them, also away from his family, so with that maybe Gus popping up wouldn't have been that out there. I mean the guy did travel and the Polka King of the Mid-West may have been trying to expand his empire. Polka gigs really don't pay big bucks. I read on IMDB that Gus Polinski was based on Jan Lewan who called himself the Polka King. I don't know how John Hughes could possibly know who Jan Lewan even was since he was from my City in PA. He was well known on the polka scene but as I learned from the documentary, The Man that Would Be Polka King, which is about Jan Lewan, Polka gigs aren't big paying events. They might pay around $1k average for the event. Th Is that the same guy Jack Black played in a Netflix movie? To bring it back around to Mr. Candy, I always thought Lance Storm and Jack Black could do a PT&A remake.

At least she knows of/remembers him. That's pretty cool. she literally only remembers him because of me being such a big fan back then. she's never been into or watched wrestling besides being there for support. all that she really knows/remembers is because of me or my dad. her biggest wrestling memory is from YEARS ago when junkyard dog licked her face hahaha. Gotcha.

my mom had the nerve to say "my god, isn't he like 90 years old by now?" when i explained my excitement about the stinger let me enjoy the return of my childhood icon in peace, devil woman. At least she knows of/remembers him. That's pretty cool.

Surprised no one's mentioned this yet. He was one of four Canadian comedians to have Saturday morning cartoons in the late 80s-early 90s (Martin Short, Rick Moranis, and Howie Mandel, also).

My only gripe with the 'Sing-y Eat-y Time' segment, was that it was out of place on an otherwise stacked wrestling show.
It was excellent for what it was. Somewhere, Rosie O'Donnell was smiling.

Oh geez, I could write an essay. Been a fan of Flair since I was eight (1988). Was a WWF kid, growing up in CT with no cable. I would watch NWA/WCW sporadically at my grandparents' in New Jersey. It was then I saw a video package of whom I thought was the coolest guy since Roddy Piper.
When they ended up feuding together in 1991 in the WWF, that was one of my favorite eras as a fan. I was elated when I heard he won the title at the Rumble. Inconsolable when I saw him lose it on video, days after WM 8. Although disappointed to find out Bret ended his second reign, that match is my very favorite. Watched it with my Best Man before my wedding, four years ago, while downing shots.
My first time seeing him in person was also my first time at MSG for wrestling, Watching him bleed after Vince McMahon's attack on Raw in 2002.
The first time attending a match of his, was after moving to FL. I flew up to Boston to see him face Mick Foley in the SummerSlam I Quit match (The second I Quit match I've seen in person, since WM 11).
Then came 2008, when two friends flew down so we could attend WM 24, and the Hall Of Fame ceremony. Two flat tires and a busted side mirror couldn't keep us away. I wouldn't have traded being in the Amway Center that night for anything. I like to joke that I only wear suits for weddings, funerals, and Ric Flair HOF ceremonies. I'm also proud to have attended his final WWF/E match in person.
For those of you viewing this in Desktop mode, you can see the three Hasbro's that are the jewels of my collection. Thanks for letting me share.

Editing the question a bit...
Do you have favorites within WWE, that if they departed the business - or just to another company - you would lose interest in WWE all together?
For me, it would be:
Adam Cole Bryan Danielson Shinske Cesaro Finn Balor
If they were to leave and join other companies, no one in the current WWE landscape interests me enough to watch the current ongoing programming.

The other night, my wife confirmed my Omega figure had shipped. She was beginning to fear she'd have nothing for me to open on my birthday...lol.

- Only one of the smaller belt plates was upside-down. Not worth complaining about. - As an MOC collector, I like how this was the best of both worlds. I can 'let it breathe', and yet, still pack it away neatly when I need to. - It's a wonder with how articulated it is, it's very, very sturdy. This was worth the price. If you're on the fence, go ahead and go for it. Thanks RSC!

I have Series 1 Jericho coming in and I've heard nothing yet. Omega and Brandi are on Back Order 2. I have low hopes for actually getting that Brandi. I wouldn't be surprised if I get refunded rather than getting the figure, just like I did for the Tucker Elite I ordered and never got. Yeah, my wife ordered me an Omega, before I even ordered the Bubbly set, so that was obviously an 'Early-September' back order. I hope it comes in time, or not too, too late, for my birthday.

For those who were waiting on the back order ...Here we Go just got notice both of my Bubbly are on there way Same here I just saw the email, can’t wait to get my Bubbly Jericho and Hart/Goldberg 2 pack! Came here to say the same thing! My wife probably got her shipping confirmation for my birthday gift as well. Can't wait for Tuesday!

American here, hailing from Florida. Hot tea drinker. I got married four years ago, and someone sent us, unsolicited, an electric tea kettle. Thanks to me, it's our most used appliance. Sorry to be nosy but I'm curious do you put milk in your tea. That John Hancock as got some front must of had a pair as well cos if his plans didn't come off his carcass would have been dragged back to England and Hanged from Traitors gate and no doubt drawn and quarted. I don't. Two lumps of sugar, if anything.
