About a week or two ago some of the younrer board members were posting a pic of my CS Rodz figure asking who he was. So I just wanted to say for those with WWE 24/7 watch Legends this month as he is being featured...and you won't be disappointed. Watching it today I learded something I never knew that was Kevin Von Erich wrestled him in the WWF at the Garden. I had never remembered Kevin wrestling in the WWF so that was news to me.
As for the Rodz CS figure itself. It's too thin, tall and dark. I would have given him his striped trunks, the Valentine torso with pained on chest hair a lighter skintone and the tongued boots to make him shorter.

Yeah, the guy was underrated but his figure is terrible.

I wonder if Jakks made the figure the way it did to pay homage to Rodz by producing such an unpredictably bad likeness of him.

He also trained Tommy Dreamer, The Dudley Boyz, Taz, Big Dick Dudley, and many more top stars.

Yeah PJ he was a bit before my time. But didn't he train some current guys? The Dudlys come to mind.

Yes, he had a wrestling school (not sure if he still does) and trained a bunch of guys (Taz, Dreamer, Dudley, DeMott, Striker to name a few)

I don't mind his scan, but agree on the parts choice PJ.  |

I never knew KVE worked WWF. |

Yeah, the guy was underrated but his figure is terrible. I beg to differ His figure was great for a Too Cold Scorpio Custom. |

Yeah they really butchered his figure. Skin color and torso were both way off.

I noticed everybody keeps saying he trained the Dudleyz, but... He didn't. He only trained D-Von.
