Besides Owen Hart and Benoit because they are never going to happen. Are their any more major names left for mattel to sign? They've got Angle, Hardys, Goldberg, Sting, Savage, and Warrior

Raven is a big want of mine. Not sure if he counts as major? But I've always wanted one and with the concussion lawsuit I doubt it will happen. A lot of the WCW cruiserweights would be great, too.

I disagree about Owen never happening. It's not a case like Benoit where WWE wants nothing to do with it. They want to celebrate Owen's life. It's Martha holding it up.
The only big names I can think of are Scott Steiner and Billy Graham. But with the way they have talked about WWE and its personnel lately, I doubt we'll see them anytime soon.

The thing is even if something were to happen to Martha she has her and Owens kids brainwashed to feel the same way she does

there's still a bunch of major players Mattel has yet to announce/make
Owen (we know it's not going to happen, but he's still a major name never to have modern figures) Scott (& Rick) Steiner Raven Harley Race Jeff Jarrett Greg Valentine Gorilla Monsoon Jesse Ventura Superstar Billy Graham Mr Fuji Haku/Meng Taz Dynamite Kid Sabu Mabel/Viscera Jay Strongbow Freebirds
im sure there are others i missed, maybe none of these are game-changers besides Owen...but i think they would still get a good reaction if we see them at comiccon

Its not really up to Mattel, its up to WWE. If WWE were to sign ,say, Jesse Ventura to a Legends deal, then it becomes up to Mattel. The same way its been up to Mattel to make Billy Graham, Greg Valentine,or Bob Backlund. Yet have not done so as of yet. As for major names that WWE hasn't got a Legends deal with, I'd say theres a few more that would be welcome in addition to the names i mentioned above. The real question is ,what each one of us consider "major". I think those i mentioned are major enough to warrant figures. I'd love to see WWE sign guys like Scott Steiner,Rick Steiner, Jeff Jarrett,Tazz,Shane Douglas, and Raven. But thanks to various reasons, most of those seem unikely. Then theres the guys who aren't really "major" players,that I'd like to see done. The Rogeaus, Adam Bomb, Gangrel ,Dr Death,Nick Bockwinkle,RnR Express, etc....again, unikely signees, but i'd be excited for the purchase. As for whether or not any of those names are highly desired, i would guess probably not. But theres still some kind of market for most of them I'm sure.

Besides Owen, I think the last name would be if Hogan re-signed. Yeah, we got a few Hogan figures, but we can use more.
The rest would be more of the B list - all the A listers have been done. Personally I would love more old school and my top wants are an 80s era JJ Dillon and Ole Anderson, but that would hardly cause much of a ripple at retail.

Dynamite Kid, and Sabu are two that don't have one i know. I would mark out over the Freebirds, I would love to see a lot of WCCW figures.

Major names? I guess it depends how you define it. Harley Race, maybe. But I don't know how he'd sell as a figure. Scott Steiner, but he's about as likely as Owen in my mind. Beyond that guys like Stan Hansen and Jushin Liger had huge international careers and have some WCW/WWE ties.
But in terms of names that have major modern day selling power? I think Mattel has done an amazing job (and had a bit of luck) making figures of just about all the major stars in post-territory days pro wrestling.

Major? Nope. Well, Hogan, but they did get a few figures of him out.

I honestly expect more international stars to be released as exclusives much like Tyler Bate, I expect a Tatsumi Fujinami as a Exclusive for Japan

The biggest names I can think of that I believe that are off limits are Koko, the One Man Gang and Slick, besides them I would like to see Demolition, Snuka, and the Road Warriors back in consideration for figures, along with Hogan. I forgot about Jim Cornette, I would love him to sign a legends deal just to get a figure.

As far as I know, Graham has been signed for close to two years. I don't know what the hell they are doing by dragging their feet.
Raven is a big one I think. Like a lot of ECW guys. Taz, Sandman, Sabu, Douglas, Dreamer (not counting his Basic).
Steiner and Jarrett obviously.
Haku/Meng is a pretty big name.

I know most people are talking about flashbacks but after getting figures i never thought would happen like Nakamura and Styles im very excited for future possibilities of new talents that have yet to make their way to the WWE
