They said its someone who wasn't on the card and no one would be upset at the choice. Any one of the choices would be good.

they cancelled the legends line. I highly doubt they would release a legends manager. Its way too niche. Of course I would like a Mean Gene, Bobby Heenan, Paul Bearer or Jimmy Hart. You gotta remember kids don't know who those ppl are. Maybe they know Bearer.
Kids know who Michael Cole is. Kids know who Ricardo Rodriguez is. Those kinda figures may not sell on there own, but as a BAF they can enhance the kids play experience. Gives them someone to put w/ there Del Rio. Or someone to sit at the commentator table they have.
They don't need a Heenan figure to go w/ the Mr. Perfect they didnt buy. They don't want a Slick to go w/ the Akeem figure thats been collecting dust on the bottom shelf of their Kmarts
i personally want a Referee. My guess is still Ricardo Rodriguez which I think is a pretty cool choice

Putting a legends manager in would be brilliant. You could then bring two "niche" markets together looking for figures and sell them even more. There's a ton of Legends collectors that didnt bother with the Cole BAF because...well its Cole and current stars. Stuff we wouldnt collect.

side note, i still haven't found Bret to finish my Cole so the idea of having to do this all over again isn't very pleasing.

Mattel confirmed it's not someone who was at WrestleMania so that crosses off JR, King, Johnny Ace & Teddy Long.
I don't think they are gonna do a Legend. Sure it could be someone like Heenan but it seems doubtful.
I don't think it'll be some undercard wrestler, when I think of BAF I think of someone like an announcer, owner, GM, manager etc that doesn't need much movement.
I wouldn't rule out Ricardo Rodriguez but I'm gonna say it's not him.
My guess is a retooled Vince Mcmahon that isn't as tall. Mattel didn't say if it was someone new or not to my knowledge so I'm going with Vince.

Legends line didn't sell well at retail, doubt they put a Legends manager as a BAF so soon. I hope it's Ricardo or Paul Bearer since they have been on TV the last year.

I'm thinking it might be a diva or a ring announcer.

Omg, it better not be Matt Striker. JR would be cool though even though he was at mania.

Kharma?
They put her in WWE 12 despite her run being cut short, and with her imminent return (not to mention the fact that Mattel stated that they began working on her figure when she debuted at Extreme Rules 2011) I think she could be it. Ricardo Rodriguez would be 10 kinds of lame IMO and definitely not worth the $90 it takes to buy all 4 figures needed to assemble him. But Kharma.......that would be sweet. Makes sense to have her be a BAF too because she will be all completely new tooling that couldn't ever be used for anyone else.

Wow - I cannot believe that people would prefer a Ricardo Rodriguez figure over a Bobby Heenan or Paul Bearer one... The world's gone mad, lol.

No way. Didn't release Mean Jean only had 1 vote. Should have picked him as its a insult to his Legendness!

Definitely bearer or ricardo. If it was bearer, id make the effort to get it even if i needed to buy all the figures in the set.
