Went to the Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame this past weekend in Wichita Falls, TX., where Mick Foley was being inducted and I got this signed by him. Funny thing is, I guess Mick wasn't sure if he was allowed to sign outside items or not, or maybe he was just messing around. He started to sign it and said to me, "Hmm, to eBay?" I told him, "Never! Sign it to Luis." So that was cool. Wish the upcoming Elite Mankind was out by now so I could have gotten that signed, too. But he said he might start doing some more shows soon, and I've been to a few here in Texas. So if he does that, I'll surely get another opportunity to get the new Mankind signed, too.

Got autos from Jake and DDP this past weekend here at a convention in Buffalo. Second time meeting Jake ... last time I had planned on getting a Legends fig signed before realizing the night before that it was the one Legends figure I apparently was missing MOC, lol ... got a Hasbro signed instead. This time around I was better prepared. He was in a good spirits but unfortunately wasn't interested in a conversation despite a couple of attempts on my end. DDP was great, as you'd expect. Nice guy, personable, friendly. I thanked him for all that he's done to help guys like Jake and Scott and he was very appreciative. He asked if I wanted it personalized, I said sure, and I think it made for a more "detailed" sig because he knew I wasn't scalping, etc. Fine by me! Best part was that the sigs really turned out great. Gotta love those paint markers! Sigs look good, man. I only recently started to start using different paint marker colors for my sigs, I wish I would have thought about it a lot sooner because until recently, everything I got signed in silver. Most of them look great, but some would have looked even nicer with different colors. I've also met DDP before, and what you said was right, very cool guy and very personable.

I went to WrestleCon last year in Dallas, which I live 90 miles from. So instead of spending a lot more money for a hotel for the weekend, I chose to drive back and forth everyday. Wasn't fun, but I got to spend extra money on autographs and attending many events. So on my first day at WrestleCon, I filled up my trunk and backset of my car with about 20 something figures in plastic bins. I finished getting them all signed at around 5pm that day before going over to NXT TakeOver, and that was just really cool to see I had acquired that many autographs in just a few hours, when ordinarily, it would have taken years to get all of them individually.

Could be Finn, but looks like the outline of Aries head. Cloth top, so Basic is out. Again... They (WWE NXT on Facebook) mentioned "bananas". Finn Balor isn't known for carrying around "bananas". At the Performance Center, Finn was eating an apple. Then Sami tried to tell me how to say apple in Spanish, which I already knew.

I really like E16 because it was in his Money In The Bank 2011 gear, and E20 is cool because it comes with the WWE Title, but I have to say the RSC ECW Exclusive is the best

The only thing I don't like is I've been hoping for Chad & Gable Elites, but it's going to take a good while for my Walmart locations to get them, and then I have to hope the packages are in great condition because I plan to keep them MOC.

I have a HOF trish signed and an elite lex signed. thinking about buying protective cases for them. do you guys keep yours in cases? I'm about to start putting mine in the RSC Defender Cases, but I don't have any in them yet. I've seen some other people already starting to put theirs in those cases though, they look good.

Can someone with a Basic 50 MOC figure and a 2015-Style Elite RSC Defender Case take a photo of the MOC figure inside of it? I'd like to see how that looks before I buy some for my Basic MOC figures in that style of packaging.

As soon as it's confirmed that hall is the red and black ring attire then I'll be pressing the preorder button Probably better to pre-order then cancel if you don't like the MOC images. I've done this a few times and missed out before they sold out.

I'm about to start putting my signed figs in the RSC Defender Cases. Have you seen any problem with the signatures sticking to the inside plastic at all when re-opening the cases? I have never re opened once signed I let it dry for 5 Mins and put in case where it will stay. If I ever take one off I'll def let you know When I start doing this, I plan to wait 24 hours before putting in a defender case, just to make absolute certain there's no chance of this happening. I'm also working on this right now. It's been in the case for a few months now and I'll open it eventually to test out this theory.

I really liked the Unmatched Fury figures. If Mattel is going to revision the older Hasbro figures, I don't see why they couldn't do the same with Unmatched Fury.

I just went to the Walmart closest to me earlier today. About a week or two ago there was an end cap full of Elite 32-39 and a few older DMs. Today, they're all gone.

Good for Wallmart but what about Wal-Mart? What's Wal-Mart? It's now Walmart*

I was actually going to mention this the other day and post a picture of one of my Walmarts that have done this. I have 4 Walmarts in my city, and only one of them has done this. It had tons of old scratch logo basics, battle packs and Elites. Now they're all gone and only a few series back on each type. It's very refreshing to see.

That's a beautiful collection!! I just started getting mine signed, went to collectorfest yesterday and had a pretty nice day. I'm about to start putting my signed figs in the RSC Defender Cases. Have you seen any problem with the signatures sticking to the inside plastic at all when re-opening the cases?

I'm sure this will either be a Network Spotlight for TRU, or a WrestleMania 34 release early next year.

I only went to a local technical college, so I didn't do campus living. But if I did, I wouldn't worry about decorating my place with any personal stuff, especially action figures. What purpose do you have doing that? Figures shouldn't be something sentimental, unless it's a signed MOC figure, in which case would be perfect sense and just have it inside a RSC defender case.

Looks like it to me. Also looks like Series 65 Roman.
