I remember being a huge fan of the Radicals, and so pumped that I would finally get all 4 in the same figure form style (We never got a Toybiz Eddie, a TTL Dean, or an RA Perry Saturn)
Dean was rumored to be in ROR3 instead of Stephanie Or Eddie and looking back, I would have gladly had him instead of Eddie since we got quite a few Guerrero's (Even though ROR3 was the best TTL Eddie)

"Dean Malenko better establish some Character!
-- When asked about the possibility of a Dean Malenko figure, Jakks simply stated that he will have to establish his character a little better on TV. Too bad for Dean... It’s a little unfair that his buddies (Perry Saturn, Chris Benoit, and Eddie Guerrero) all have figures and he does not.
Also concerning the Malenko figure is that Jakks had originally thought of having a Radicalz 4-pack but they scrapped that idea now because the storyline has gotten stale and the Radicalz are moving on to bigger and better things."
A 4-pack would have been so amazing, I always recall hearing this rumor too as a kid.
It was also always funny to me that all the Rulers of the Ring sets had a 6th mystery figure that was never confirmed until they hit the stores (Series 1 Edge although Christian was rumored, Series 2 Crash although Hardcore Holly was rumored, Series 3 Stephanie although Malenko was rumored and Series 4 Shane McMahon although Val Venis was rumored)
On this topic, which to you, was the best Jakks Rumor that never came true?
