i wonder how good this ring would look against Build N Brawlers The only adjustment that would need to be made is Ringpost height & spacing out the turnbuckles. I have a Ring where I did just that for my 4 inch style figures. I'll post it soon.

Long story short, I collect Imaginext figures as miniature wrestlers. This is a Ring I built for them. It's built completely from scratch. Close-up of the ringposts/turnbuckles. This figure of a SteamPunk Engineer is the one I use to represent me in the fantasy promotion. Here he is standing in the corner for scale. The classic "figure corpse row" measuring picture. The Diagonal version.

Contrary to popular opinion, I'm dying for this line to become THE line behind Elites & Basics. That would be fantastic.

I am so excited for these figures! As long as these are under 8 dollars, I'll be happy. 5.99 would be ideal, but I'm not that naive,
Given the current rosters & legends under Mattel's jurisdiction, I am emphatic about this toy line!!! I already have my mat rials todpgether to build custom rings, arenas, cages, & so on!

I trust HHH honestly I think he knows most are gettin called up and it's time for a new era in nxt As much as I don't like seeing The Messiah of The Backbreaker leave, I agree with you. NXT needs veterans from the territories to be profitable. There are occasional home-growns who draw, but they are not yet the norm.

Guys who should have been main eventing or getting their time to really shine; Morrison, Benjamin, Masters, Kennedy, Ted DiBiase jr., Cody Rhodes, Alex Riley, MVP, Carlito, ect. Guys who WERE main eventing; Big Show, Triple H, Cena, Taker, Michaels, Orton (to an extent), Kane, ect. Has there ever been an era in wrestling where the past generations main guys just kept going instead of taking a backseat? This issue is a combination of factors. Most wrestlers never want to quit, be it out of pride or greed, so they use the rookies' naivety to maintain their image. There are several veterans, on the other hand who do their best to help the youth who need guidance, both to preserve the wrestling profession, and help the young wrestlers who want it most & for the right reasons. The second problem is the promoters. Now when I say promoters, I literally mean the person in charge of running the promotion. A promotion's booker & promoter should be two completely different people. To crown a wrestler that has proven to crack under pressure, be unprofessional, or in any way untrustworthy in the eyes of the powers that be, they've basically eliminated themselves as an option for the promoter. No Soldier is going to break out the faulty gun first, unless it's their last resort. If you ever find yourself as a "Last Resort" Main Event/Championship Match participant, you've either failed to put forth the effort needed in training, been extremely unprofessional, or it could simply be backstage politics & poor judgement from the decision-makers. At any rate, most of the stars from the previous 5 to 7 year period in WWE either didn't fit their vision, or were lacking certain skills that no top wrestler should be missing. This is both the fault of the individual talent & the bookers failing to use the tried & true mindset of a smart territorial promoter. I will summarize the mindset through an anecdote from Jim Ross. Jim was working as Bill Watts' right hand man in the Mid-South territory, when he was ordered to scout the matches of Junkyard Dog, & report back to Watts asap. Ross proceeded to travel from show to show, observing JYD's various bouts with the expressed intent of examining his in-ring abilities. When he made the call, he explained the many glaring flaws in JYD's mat-game acumen, to which he received the following response, which I will now paraphrase. "Jim, I didn't want you to find out what he couldn't do, I already knew that! I needed you to help me find out what he CAN do." If Vince focused on accentuating the positives, & hiding the negatives of his stars, he would have the fortune he leaves on the table every year.

Death to the BulletClub. I want it to end in every promotion. It needs to die. I Donno I was just watching raw and saw them beat John Cena and for some reason I just wanted Fin To debut and help them beat down Cena, he needs his call up already. And what does that amount to? Kevin Steen did that. He was derailed & put back on the tracks again regardless of the occurrence. Remember when various people tried to beat down Hogan to get over in the late 80s/early 90s and it ALMOST ALWAYS backfired? Same problem happens with Cena. There are exceptions in both cases, but why risk? Finn Balor is better than simply being a hand in the club. The Faction is a cancer. WWE does not need multiple 4 man factions. Hell, when The Shield & The Wyatt family were the only two factions going, it already felt crowded. The Bullet Club needs to remain the way it is, then die once A.J. becomes a hero again.

This is hilariously bad, but, how is it Mattel related? The meme references a wildly popular Mattel figure.

I know of Styles, & Somoa Joe, but who is the 3rd that's hired by WWE? Eric Young. Isn't Austin Aries a triple crown champion?

What's T&A? had me laughing out loud SO hard! The fans chanting WE WANT RYDER during a Rock segment...will WWE talk about it?? Yes!! People’s Champion vs. Internet Champion!! Book it!! #CancelWWENetwork Will WWE talk about it? No! No!! Why would anyone ever cancel the WWE Network!? In fact, Shop.WWE.com should have a subscription based “loot crate” membership. Having 3 out of the 4 TNA Grand Slam Champions…Will WWE Talk About It?? I know of Styles, & Somoa Joe, but who is the 3rd that's hired by WWE?

4 examples against two decades of booking decisions, does not the best argument, make. Neither does having the inability to understand the topic of conversation. Triple H has been booking NXT for 20 years? I misread the statement. Never ing mind, then. But my point applies to the WWE as a whole.

“I’m always happy to be proven wrong, but I’ve never seen any real genius come from Triple H yet. I sound like I’m always knocking him, but it seems like he’s quick to push the great wrestling to the side and push the bodies, guys who have [good] physiqueBo Dallas, Sami Zayn, KO and now Samoe Joe. You might be right about some things Bret, but you are wrong about this. And how about not doing an interview where you say you really don't want to be at the PPV this weekend, but you are just doing it for Nattie. Sometimes just STFU. 4 examples against two decades of booking decisions, does not the best argument, make.

I hope to goodness Finn Balor isn't injured. Second of all, Bullet Club halfway ruined New Japan. Letting them grow beyond three members is a BAD idea. We already have factions being squandered. We don't need more.

So its a James Bond thing. I guess using elements in his entrance is cool, I'm no sure how or if it can transition in to his character. It's a reference. Just a reference. Antonio Cesaro is himself. He's the greatest wrestler in his nation's history since John Lemm, & he is an all-around debonair fellow of high class, but also bears great dignity. Characters like Antonio Cesaro are true Professional Wrestlers. The portrayal of a real pro athlete. Think of Lebron James or Kevin Durant. They're human beings like us, but live extraordinary lives. Unless the character could only exist in something like WWE or "Sports Entertainment," it's most likely just a wrestler. I love complex characters, but WWE doesn't write truly great characters these days. And some wrestlers are just larger than life. The Crusher is one of those iconic figures that quickly springs to mind.

ANY of the 100 some odd wrestlers that have performed at WrestleMania, but haven't been featured in the Heritage line. Preferably people who have never had Mattel representation at all. Or legends who have only been featured as elites. Some people like late 70s, 80s, & 90s wrestlers, but prefer basics for price and play ability.
Yes WrestleMania didn't start until 1985, but several wrestlers on the first three editions were the toast of 70s Professional Wrestling.

We as fans should learn to appreciate wrestlers in the same way, theater fans appreciate each actor on stage. There are no small parts, only small actors.
To all of the carpenters who make Professional Wrestling exist, I say "thank you".
For the time being, Heath is a showman carpenter. And I appreciate him. He doesn't hurt people, & he's not sloppy. If he makes a mistake, it's him slipping on a banana peel, which is completely different from botching. Heels have to slip for the face to make the comeback.

Well then my Wal-Mart must have 3 cases of Elite 39, because there's 6 Psycho Did figures warming at mine. Seriously, anyone who would trade me two basics for a Did, I would buy it for you, just to get rid of them. No not always a guarantee with wm I had a case opened in front of me that had 8 figures scattered from e33 to 39 Then the fellow I quoted stands corrected. I however, lie down in a snuggie corrected.

I like E39 Sid, shame he doesn't seem to be selling anywhere. $5 is a damn fine deal. He's packed 2 per case Well then my Wal-Mart must have 3 cases of Elite 39, because there's 6 Psycho Did figures warming at mine.
