Malenko, Kidman, Jericho, Syxx, and Guerrero can be made easily, because most of them have contracts or work for wwe currently. Malenko could even be the one to give us the Light Heavyweight Championship.
Most of the Luchadors from WCW (La Parka, Psicosis, juventud, etc.), some can be got, others not possible
The Japanese Superstars (Liger, Ultimo, etc.) probably will take a while due to NJPW owing most of the characters.

Completely forgot Syxx was a cruiser weight champion, with Bill confirming more NWO figures and Sean Waltman being under contract Syxx is almost a given.

I don't see some of them being made I think we all know the Luchadors & Japanese wrestlers are almost impossible to make, but there are loop holes and we are keeping our fingers crossed, plus Bill himself has said he would love to make them. With that said other cruiser weights will & should be made. Dean Malenko, WCW Jericho, WCW Eddie Guerrero, Billy Kidman & WCW Rey Mysterio (out now) could be given figures. As another poster pointed out even Syxx would be a welcomed addition. When I started this thread I had no idea we'd be in 4 pages deep discussing cruiser weights for the Mattel Elite line, I think it is a sign that a lot of us collectors today grew up during the 90s idolizing these characters and would love to buy their figures.

Honestly, if any of those guys get made before a proper Jericho elite FB, I might vomit, lol.
I'd like a couple though, in general.

I want a Dean Malenko more than anything, as long as they don't give him a ridiculous torso.

I'd also like for him to come with a Light Heavyweight Belt and hopefully his signature vest

I really want Juvi with removable mask mold and Ultimo Dragon with cape/chestpiece really bad. Liger and La Parka would be awesome, too.

None of those are luchadores.
Aaaaanyway, Lionheart Jericho is essential.
And even though Jakks did it, I'd be into the Guerrero/Mysterio Halloween Havoc pack getting an updated release

Watched the Monday Night Wars last night on the cruiser weight division (must watch) & today I wake up and WWE has this article up on the greatest 100 masked wrestlers: www.wwe.com/inside/100-masked-wrestlers-photos So immediately I really get an itch for some luchador action figures, but realize not many exist and are extremely expensive online. So we all know Bill said he handed a list of wrestlers he liked to create to the WWE for them to try and sign so he can make figures, so I was wondering if maybe a luchador or two are on there. I know Bill has said he really would like to make Psychosis or La Parka, also now that classic Mysterio is out with the cruiser weight title, we need some cruiser weights to dawn the strap. So I thought of perhaps which old WCW cruiser weights are on contract the Mattel can possibly make, well Dean Malenko works for the WWE and Mattel has the license to make Eddie Guerrero. I don't about you guys but I'd love a classic Eddie Guerrero from WCW days. Also Ultimo Dragon had a stint in the WWE & Juventud Guerrera is a former WWE cruiser weight champion. Here are my top 5 wants: La Parka Psychosis Juventud Guerrera Jushin Thunder Liger Ultimo Dragon Yes, we need those!

I want a Mattel Dean Malenko so bad! As far as the luchadores, I think they make awesome figs, and I know Bill does too. Ultimo Dragon, La Parka, Juvi, Psicosis...I have no doubts that if he ever gets a green light on them we will get them for sure. Bill said we will be getting more WCW figures in the future so don't lose hope on Malenko, plus he is an agent for WWE. We already have several WCW figures and Bill said to expect more. Lets go down the list: DDP Arn Flair Tully Nash Giant Macho Man NWO Mysterio Vader Brian Pillman Terry Funk Road Warriors Cactus Jack These are off the top of my head. I expect Hogan, Hall & X-pac to all get NWO versions of them made. Wouldn't be surprised if another WCW Luger is released with Sting in a two pack. Sting is getting a defining moments figure, but back to the cruiser weights. Eddie Guerrero & Chris Jericho both could very likely get WCW flashback figures, I don't see any reason why they would not do it. If they're going to do his nwo look, it needs to be syxx
