ugh the toe articulation looks horrible, but the double jointed elbows is really how Mattel should have evolved their elite line. I love the pic of Rhonda and Wolfe, his expression looks like a fanboy next to his dream girl.

he's a transition champion who's going to keep the belt a little longer than he should, much like Jinder did. Both guys now have a great hook for convention signings when they are both retired.

I really like the topics the director is tackling in each episode but I can do without the tacky blurred wrestler recreation b-rolls. Good on them for the casting and costumes, but it takes away from the story for me.

Didn’t see any mention of this on the forums yet. Sure he wasn’t a main event player but he ushered in Lucha Libre in WCW back in the day.

I hardly post in this forum, but I thought this was fitting. I just lost my dad on April 17th this year. It's been hard because he was my favourite parent. And even though he would watch wrestling with me when I was a kid and comment on how the punches weren't landing, he still went out of his way to get me toys like G.I. Joe and WWF LJNs, and those Bill Apter mags (PWI, Inside Wrestling, Wrestling Classics) every month. In my LJN collection I had JYD, Tito, Jake and Corporal Kirchner along with the ring - and I honestly don't remember what happened to any of them, but I always kept these two: My dad got them for me when he returned from a trip once, maybe back in '89, I'm not sure. He didn't follow wrestling, so there's no story behind why he bought Jesse "The Body" Ventura or George "The Animal" Steele, other than the fact that he knew I loved wrestling. And clearly I played the hell out of them 30 years ago, =/. Anyways, thought I'd memorialize these two for the forum archives.

pre-ordered Ricochet. Knowing Mattel this is going to either be his black attire with red designs or white designs (hoping for the latter). Contemplating whether to have white knee pads & boots at the ready just to change up my Ricochet from everyone else's Ricochet!

I had also recently watched the darkside of the ring episode on bruiser Brody and came up with this earlier, I still might add or change some things so it's not completely done but I'm still pretty happy with it. It uses a network spotlight ringmaster for the body and legs, basic luke Harper arms and head, psycho sid boots and undertaker boot covers. John Morrison boot covers may work better than the Undertaker ones. They have the furry/fuzzy texture to them. John Morrison's boot fur is a great suggestion! Breeze is more streamers. I like how the Harper head is looking, I'm getting a good Brody vibe - I'm curious about the E66 or B82 head because Brody also used to tie back his hair with a little man bun. RSC's Memorial Day Sale might give me a cheaper way to experiment. But it's the accessories that will make or break this: Jon Morrison's fur boots Breeze's fur jacket Leg sleeve/long elbow pad JYD's chain

That is a badass vignette! I always hated how WWE mis-cast this guy as a babyface, the money is always in him being a heel. So happy he now has creative freedom it seems.

I've got an idea in my head that I don't want to invest money into unless you guys think it's good to go. Seeing that recent Bruiser Brody on page 710-711 and watching his most recent documentary form the Dark side of the Ring, got me thinking of this combo:
Berzerker body + Elite 66 Luke Harper head (or basic 82, same thing). Of course the accessories need to be finessed... calves with socks, zack ryder's grey leg sleeve knee pad, tyler breeze's fur jacket etc.
What do you think? Doable? What i don't want, is to look at it and see Harper in trunks.

I really loved:
WWF World: Ultimate Warrior WWF I-C: Texas Tornado WWF Tag Team: Legion of Doom
You had an Ultimate Warrior, a Modern Day Warrior, and a couple of Road Warriors as your title holders!

Ricochet for me only, to go along with my Aleister Black figure.

Buddy Murphy is living proof that you can be as ugly as dog crap but if you got a nice body you can get one of the hottest females alive. Except for the part where Buddy Murphy is by normal standards pretty attractive. He looks better than anyone on this forum, I bet you that. well to be fair we don't know if she likes brown chocolate like Bandalero

I have to say, seeing Sasha in NXT did pique my interest in the Women's division years ago. But since then I get such a >me< >me< >me< vibe with her that it is a big turn-off. After all these years, she's still not comfortable enough in the ring to make up sequences on the fly; the only way she and Bayley have great matches is if they are given a week to rehearse; they are both horrible on the mic, and neither knows how to sell a facial expression. I hope she does move on because I think she can florish. Let's be real for a second, Bayley is the equivalent of a career black hole and Sasha's "boss" gimmick is taking the hit.

wot! this is fantastic, I can't wait to watch these episodes
By the way, you guys probably know it already, but I highly recommend another docu series called "The Wrestlers" by a fellow named Damien. He travelled around the world and documented how wrestling adds to the cultural fabric of places like mexico, japan, africa, haiti, canada etc. It's amazing stuff.

Yeah, but everyone should have a world title run if you ask the fans. Who should lose theirs to Drew now then? Kofi? Seth? Why? Seth after a 6 month feud. but we've seen Seth vs. his big brother a million times already.
