Lets see a SummerSlam 01 or Unforgiven 01. Add his 2005 look as well.

I am excited, I'll be even more excited when we get this as an elite

Im excited for Kurt Angle figures. Also for Hardy figures. And a Goldberg that doesn't come with a high priced Lite Brite ring accessory.
But I'm not going to run around like a chicken with my head cut off screaming "When? When? WHEN?"
I will buy them when they are released and that will make me happy.

i think its because a lot of the other guy signed weren't actually on the roster.....the excitement for Angle was when his music hit on RAW and he was back with the company.....so we just assumed it was inevitable he was gonna get a ton of mattel figures made.
guys like savage, warrior, etc are legends so them getting signed by mattel is a surprise since those contracts are really up to the WWE to decide.

There are really too many different series that is causing oversaturation. For example, my Target's isles are mostly made up of Tough Talking figures, Mutants, Zombies and NXT Basics that it leaves little room for the standard Battle Packs, Basics & Elites. But in general, there are just too many series and store exclusives.
The WWE product itself is absolutely terrible that I'm not excited as I have been in the last few years. I can't be excited about a product that is largely made up of current WWE superstars when I have zero to very little interest in it.
Mattel's themselves haven't given me the excitement I felt when I first saw them in 2010 on the shelves. The lack of cloth t-shirts as a regular accessory, those awful plastic bullet-proof vest replacements, the constant little mistakes, etc.
Lastly, Mattel's distribution with the figures being so behind or thin when they hit stores has a lot to do with it. If I know I won't see this in person on time with everyone else and will largely see this when people post pictures from their online orders then I can't be that excited for it. My stores rarely get more than 1-2 cases of a current or new series and if they do its a while in between shipments.
I am excited that its a legend status wrestler getting a first time in the line Mattel, but that is just a small spike in excitement that is constantly diminished by the products overall.
To summarize, there are far too much negative things surrounding WWE & Mattel that I can't find myself getting excited like I used to. I'll enjoy seeing the new figures at Ringside Fest like I did at SDCC, but that will quickly fade.

I quit watching wrestling altogether when angle was making his wwf debut run to the world title. I will buy the eg figure but I don't really love Kurt angle so that will probably be the only angle I ever buy and so that's why I'm not necessarily excited about it.

It's almost a guarantee we will get a GM Kurt like Foley and D-Bry. Kurt's Gm attire will probably be in a battle pack with Jason Jordan

It’s dope.
A two pack with Taz from Royal Rumble 2000 would be doper.

Kurts great but to say it's like Sting or Macho is blasphemy Exactly sting and macho couldn't even tie kurts boots let alone be compared to him!

I am very excited for Angle and Hardy Boys figures. Also I want to hear news about another Goldberg elite.

I loved through all their primes and concur angle is definitely in the conversation. If the attitude era is the best era, he was the guy that best combined character and work in that time, so he's an all time great for my money. On topic I'm very excited to add a couple of kurts to my collection.

I definitely want it, but the torso flesh paint is bugging me, and I don't care for the Entrance Greats gimmick, so to me it'd be much better as a DM so we could get the Eurocontinental titles.

Love Kurt, but not crazy about that figure. I'm hoping we see a bald version at RSF.

I'm all in, I want every era, even a current GM suited figure.
