For the majority of last year, Foley has gone on Austin's podcast and social media to complain about Stephanie and The Authority making the show about themselves at the expense of the talent. However, ever since he's been employed as the GM, in spite of directly saying he WOULDN'T do it while sitting next to Daniel Bryan, he's been the main one making the show about himself at the expense of the talent. He's inserted himself into every major angle. He's cut long winded and obnoxious promos to make everything about himself, and it's gotten NO ONE over. He's worse than Stephanie right now, and that says a lot. At least Daniel Bryan is an authority figure done right. He minds his own business backstage until the wrestlers get in his face, and THEN he makes a decision. Foley makes sure the entire show revolves around him and I'm sick of it. It needs to stop NOW.
Right price can turn anyone into a hypocrite. You know he isn't really in charge of Raw, right? Just like the simpletons in Youtube comments,Twitter and various other platforms, kayfabe is making a huge comeback here because people are f***ing stupid.

The really sad thing is that I (and probably several others) wouldn't even pick up the Wild Samoans if they were on clearance for $6 (half of what the 4HM went for and are still available).

Personally I think they won't sell well. They'll suffer the same fate the 4 packs did but with even less sales Does anyone remember how terribly the Wild Samoans sold for Jakks? I think you could still find them in some stores.

He was handed the belt by ric Ok, proves my point. What right did he have anywhere near that title? Charlotte is without a doubt more deserving, but there was no point to her winning tonight. They basically killed Sasha kayfabe wise and in real life. Further diminishing an already tiny women's division. Ive accepted that Sasha is being buried by the company, but Charlotte has plenty of interesting opponents. Dana, Bayley, Nia. As long as it leads to Bayley vs. Charlotte at Wrestlemania, and a heel Sasha gets a lenghty title run in the future, im down with it.

Since the non Demon Elite Bálor is a Ringside Exclusive (why?), why not have the jacket have material like E46 Rusev's jacket? If you're going to have 1 elite figure cost in the mid to high 20s (before shipping and taxes) why not at least give it good accessories/good material for the accessories Because you can buy it on sale for 21.99 and have it ship with other figures that you want later and only pay $12 for shipping. Ringside is a cruel mistress. Starting with B66 Paige I somehow gained the ability to wait for all of these figures. It could be that Dana, Alexa, Tamina and Carmella turned out like s*** but Im really not stressing any of these figures and I will probably end up buying them all on Amazon and not being the first to have them in hand. Boo Hoo.

This doesnt need to be its own thread. I appreciate your two cents, and welcome to the thread. Because you were so nice I will tell you mine again. The good: Asuka turned out great. Both new Balors are great. DM Nakamura is a huge surprise and gives me hope we will get a DM Charlotte from WM32 with a robe and the new Women's Championship. The Bad: Tamina. Jesus Christ it is terrible. It's a straight repaint of her last figures body which is way too thin. Waste of a spot, waste of a female figure, and will shelf warm like crazy. Shouldve been a new Foxy. Carmella. Why arent more people outraged at the color of her hair? She has been blonde for years, and it just doesnt look like her. Why Mattel? WHY?

She probably has a lot on her mind what with the biggest match of her career happening tonight. Id rather her put on an awesome match than be focused on the PR part of the business.

I think Nia should study Kong's tapes and work on her character more. Yeah she is way prettier than Kong is but she doesnt seem to have any intensity, looks bored and her moveset is sorely lacking.

My most selfish want would be no more divas. WWE took care of that for you and everybody at Wrestlemania this year.

Really good reveals imo. Only one drawback, only one new character revealed. Dana Brooke. And I don't even think that was a new reveal. Carmella.

Tamina is an abortion. That is not her body. I totally thought Carmella was Nikki too, and am disappointed in her hair color. Pretty terrible showing for the women. Asuka's not good, or Dana and Alexa? I will admit I was expecting a molded overshirt and leather pants on Tamina, but it's better than nothing, I guess? I only commented on the new stuff, but yeah they should have scrapped her. She is totally irrelevant at this point anyway.
