If they were to release a flashback Big Show from WM 2000, it would be cool. I could imagine down the line they do release a debut Paul Wight though.

I'd like to have a Paul Wight. Hell the OP has a point, they do make a sh*tload of Big Shows. While they're at it, why not make a Paul Wight instead of ANOTHER boring current Big Show?
If yall don't wanna buy it.... then guess what? Don't!
They made what was it? 5 Big Shows this year? I bought one and it was The Giant. To me the others were a waste of space so they're not wasting any of my space.

Yeah if they were to make one they would be best keeping it basic. Not a fan of Flashback basics but if one should be its Paul Wight.
IMO After getting NWO Giant I'm happy for a long time on Paul Wight figures.

If yall don't wanna buy it.... then guess what? Don't! Ok let's go with this theory. History says this is how lines get cancled and we get blamed instead of mattel admitting it was due to their bad choices. So based on your theory they should just cancel the flashback line? After making poor choices of flashbacks like this one.

After making poor choices of flashbacks like this one. Generally, I agree with your posts, but I think you missed his point. First, he was saying we'd be getting yet another Show anyway, so why not make it something we haven't seen yet? Second, I think the point of that statement was to say rather than basically calling the OP stupid for making a suggestion (which is all it was, saying, "Hey, maybe this would be good," rather than an order like most people's suggestions are, "Mattel, do this."), you should just not purchase his suggestion. I feel like your post is skewed by your hatred of the Attitude Era. Now, I'm an AE guy, but I completely inderstand your hate of the era. It changed the way promotions formatted their shows, focusing more on storylines than wrestling, which meant less matches and more promos, interviews, backstage segments, etc. Not only that, the matches they did have were either gimmick matches (hell, they created an entire Hardcore division during this period) instead of a showcase of technical, classic-style wrestling (which every superstar needs to be able to do if they're worth a piss), but a good majority of the matches they had would have ambiguous or dirty finishes, if they even had them at all. But, regardless of your opinion on the era or the superstars of it, the idea behind making a flashback Paul Wight-era Big Show is that it wouldn't effect anything. It wouldn't take up a Flashback spot for Greg Valentine or Razor Ramon, it would take a up a regular spot for a Big Show everyone here would already pass on. The idea is that rather than everyone groaning and rolling their eyes at yet another bald-headed Big Show we've seen countless times before (like Cena or Rey Mysterio), it would give AE guys like myself something to actually look forward to. The mentality is to give adult collectors nothing to look forward to or give some adult collectors something to look forward to.

Im totally with the OP on this one. Instead of making another new current Big Show scan and releasing the same figure over and over, make a pony tail Paul Wight scan and they can easily piece the body together from there. Such a simple build and would require onyl a small amount of budget for the rest of the series hes in. I made the same one Ben did from the TTL head, but it would be awesome to have a Mattel made one

I guess I should have started by telling you this is not meant to be rude it is just what I got from that. Anyways I do not have a hatred for AE. I just didn't watch and don't collect that time frame. I also feel like you didn't really get my point. My point is that if the majority of people don't want that and it is clear from the posts that they don't. Then saying don't buy it is not a real good option. Why kill the last remaining way we have left to get legends weather it is AE or Golden don't matter. Also the current bigshow has nothing to do with wasting a fkashback spot so comparing the two is like comparing apples to oranges

My apologies, I must have had you confused with another user. Anyway, I don't want to get into an argument, so I'm going to keep this short and wash my hands of this thread: You misunderstood what I was saying with the current Big Show and a Flashback spot. The suggestion, as I understood it, was to use a current Big Show spot (one that would be Big Show regardless of what era or outfit) and use it to make a Flashback. If the spot is Big Show regardless, it will have no bearings on Flashbacks as a whole. Besides, Big Show sells, so, chances are, the simple fact that Big Show's name is on it will make kids buy it (something The Giant didn't have).

I think the bigshow, rey, cena, orton, hell any spot other than FB could be and should be used better. To get people like PTP, Usos, and others who have yet to even have a elite yet before others get their 5th, 10th, 20th elite figure made.

I would love a ponytail Big Show/Paul Wight, only time I have felt he was relevant. I also agree it would be a better idea than just another current Big Show rehash which we all know is going to happen. Same goes with Cena and Orton, give us flashbacks of them if you just have to keep making more elites of these guys.
