I dont think it was. If I remember right, this being cancelled kinda started the CS line. Thats what Ive read somewhere, anyway.

It got cancelled, then several months went by before CS was announced. I remember threads of people debating on whether or not CS would be BCA/TTL figures re-released or if they would be brand new RA figures. Turns out it was a mix of TTL, R3 and RA. We were all wrong lol.
But in its cancellation we still saw similar versions of most those guys. That Undertaker got cancelled TWICE before a very similar version came out in CS1 (the other time was the ill-fated Then & Now 2-packs, which also had figures later converted to CS in Triple H and Rocky Maivia.) HBK obviously got released in CS1, Lesnar looks like the other RA Lesnars, Angle came out in that Superstars Uncovered magazine series, Trips looks like one of many they released in the TTL days, Austin had a torso/scan change in CSTT with Jake Roberts, a very similar Hogan came out in the IE Main Event line (they switched the torso to the ripped heavyweight one)....and then there's Diesel, the most unfortunate of the bunch. He never came out remotely like this, ever. He got a better scan and the all black attire several years later in CS and in the CS 2-pack with HBK, but that's it. Never in white or with that thicker torso aside from RA5 as Nash. I think he looks better with that, even if it was just painted on.

I'm not a CS collector but that Kevin Nash figure looks really awesome.

I always hoped that Diesel would see a release somewhere in the CS line.

That Austin had the smaller torso, interesting.

I hated how Classic Superstars began as a hybrid line as well as some if the early ppv sets. It was that Summerslam Triple H that could've been awesome as RA but was instead ttl for some reason.
That said, that Diesel is pretty darn cool. I like it better than the one we got.
