I would ask him what other wrestlers' names were kicked around but never made. Also does he have any drawings or Protos of the figures or even what happen to all of them?

Instead of bringing the guy on here like you did the last one and run him off questioning his authenticity and honesty and flood him with PM's and questions, why do you not run questions through one person (Irishhasbrogod would probably consent to this) to forward to the former employee so he does not get overwhelmed or insulted. On another forum, someone found a former LJN employee and they are taking questions to present in segments to avoid the above for the employee to answer at their leisure. COuld you do me a huge favor and point me in the direction of that other fourm with the LJN employee?

ooh, I've got a question. Why were the later series always so late to hit the pegs? I remember the purple card series, I believe, whichever one had the Steiners, I remember waiting for what seemed like forever for those. Its like they were in production forever after seeing pics in a figure magazine. I remember specifically that they came out in summer '94, cause I went to the mall the day they were out and only one store had them. but the funny thing is, by the time they were in stores, most of the roster, like the stieners had been gone for months or underwent changes to the character.
so, what actually held the toys up for so long? Contract issues.

If you did not find the other post on this subject, it appears that the Facebook page or the "former Hasbro emloyee" mentioned by the original poster was created the same day "he" was discovered leading to alot of credibility issues.
As for the site with the former LJN employee, it is still being delveded into exactly what position she held with the company. It has not yet been established if she was in sales, the manufacturing end of the business, part of the creative process or the head of the steno pool and whether she worked with the wrestling or one of the other lines they produced. The admin of the other site was to have submitted the questions by now, but with my reminder yesterday, indicated he has not done so and was going to this weekend. Once we have the answers back to the questions submitted to date, we will have a better understanding as to whether she can answer the questions we need answers to or not. The other site is a site for all types of toys, not just wrestling figures. Believe me, I had 9 or 10 multi part questions already lined up there. We will see what she can do and if worthwhile, I will post the questions and answers here. If you would still like to see the site, I can still give it to you.
