I think so, Mattel doesnt like doing too many old school figures. Yeah, cause they didn't do 4 DMs and one to several Flashbacks in every Elite wave, plus various basics and battle packs with classic figures this year.

The argument against Warrior is tired. He does not, absolutely not, steal space from someone else. If they didn't make him, we would somehow get another Rey even though he left the company, or another John Cena. Maybe even a Big Show. It's not as if Mattel is sitting on a Finn Balor with a 'bionic man' style arm that jerks fanboys off, or that they would make a Magnum TA or Undisputed Chris Jericho DM that only costs a dollar and has real metal belts, if they could only cancel that Ultimate Warrior slot.
Either it's a conspiracy or people on here have drastically unrealistic expectations.

It's funny people say they don't like John Cena when Warrior was worse.

It's funny people say they don't like John Cena when Warrior was worse. The Warrior was a larger than life cartoon character. John Cena is everything I hate about society, or at least he was when I was watching wwe. When I was watching Cena was a thug wannabe, he was a wannabe rapper, he wore hip hop inspired attire, and worst of all wwe was SHOVING him down our throats. Warrior on the other hand was on top of the company for about 1 year only. So he wasnt really shoved down out throats.

I guess I should have said old School non wwe wrestlers. The 4 Horseman, all of those guys were in wwe. The "surprise" figures that are made are not made too often. Flair went back to wwe so we got a figure, there was no surprise there. Hogan went back to wwe so we got Hogan figures, no surprise there. When I say Surprise figures try to think back to the Jakks Classics days. We would get characters made randomly it seemed. We got the Shiek, the Rock and Roll Express, Abdula the Butcher, Bruiser Brody, the hollywood blondes, it was nice. We got a number of guys whose careers were mostly outside of the wwf. Also the other toy line would usually have fresh characters in the lineup. With Mattels I know for sure we will be getting a Cena/HHH/Orton/Bigshow/Bryan 3 or 4 times in the same line a year. Im mostly just saying I wish mattel would change up the character selection more often.

Just remember you were a kid when Warrior was about and what you liked about Warrior is what the kids of today like in Cena. You just got older. If Warrior was around today I'm sure he'd be hated.

Nonsense, Cena wasn't from "parts unknown", Cena doesn't have neon face paint and tassels etc, Crna doesn't run to the ring at what feels like 100 mph, Cena never won a title match in a matter of seconds, Cena didn't beat, who was, at the time, the single most iconic character in Hogan, Cena and Warrior are incomparable from eras which are equally incomparable

Nostalgia is a funny thing.
Cause I'm nostalgic about Cena and a lot of you hate his guts.
Anyways, in the end there's never a right or wrong answer in art form/media.
So everyone should respect other's point of view honestly.

I've given people crap in the past for being a Warrior fan, but eh that's silly cause different strokes you know?

Warrior is a worse wrestler than Cena that is a fact. When Cena was coming up there wasn't a big star like Hogan really.

To make them really necessary for me, I'd need to get an Eddie Gilbert and other Mid South guys first.

I respect the point you're trying to make but I'm confident your argument would have much more merit if you were saying this about Hogan. HLR = Hogan's commandments. Cenaa shirts, hats, armbands and dog tags = Hogan's shirts, bandanas, wristbands, and gold chains. "The champ is here!" = "whatcha gonna do, brother!" What I'm saying is warrior appealed to children because of his over the top, comic book esque persona, and superhero body type, not his one liners and merch.

As a kid I thought it was the coolest story that Sting and Ultimate Warrior started out as a tag team and there was no way to really see it except for a couple pics on the internet early on, like the one with Dutch Mantel, so my imagination ran a bit wild about how cool this Warrior & Sting team really was. Was almost like a wrestling urban legend. I'd be surprised if Mattel made them.
