Wasn't it around 2005/06 that fans were already chanting same old $h!+? He was somewhat over, but he still got booed. Who tried a rap gimmick before him? I don't remember any wrestlers trying to do a rap gimmick and actually trying to get over. Plus, I don't remember anyone saying, you know what would be great, if Vanilla Ice became a wrestler. PN News Men on a Mission PG-13 Konnan K-Kwik I don't think any of those were meant to be taken seriously. Wasn't it around 2005/06 that fans were already chanting same old $h!+?

Plus, I don't remember anyone saying, you know what would be great, if Vanilla Ice became a wrestler. He was over as hell in 03-early 05. It wasn't until after he won the world title that fans started to turn on him, because he became a squeky clean baby face who kept getting superman wins over fan favourites like Jericho, Angle and Edge. 15 years ago he was a bad worker with a good gimmick, and over time he became a solid worker with a terrible gimmick. He was still a terrible performer at the end of his run, the way he took bumps, his punches, his finisher, his flyer shoulder tackle, etc. He looked a little better because as the top guy you're facing top talent. But he was still bad. Didn't Jericho and Edge mock him for some of his match finish ideas?

Was there ever a yellow world belt? If so which attire would it best suit when I get it? I was thinking the orange warrior with the warrior mask paint on his chest

The whole set looks nice, especially Road Dogg and Billy Gunn.

Wow this is an amazing set of figures.
I really want paul and warrior. But road dog looks crazy good. I'll have to pick up all 4.

Road Dogg should've had the APA shirt mold and some elbow pads. And I know it's not accurate for that attire, but I really want a DX jersey.

The Rock literally plays himself in every movie and they're all the same, being the highest paid doesn't equal quality. I thought this anti Cena meme ended six years ago but it seems twelve year olds have found their way on the internet to restart it again. And what are some of the quality John Cena movies? Don’t they all go straight to the dollar bin at Walmart? None of his movies have been memorable. John Cena is literally just a bodybuilder that Vince McMahon had a crush on for 15 years. Every movie goes straight to the dollar bin at Walmart years after they release. I know people on here are dusty but not this bad

Seeing this Bearer makes me sad we waited so long for the expressionless Bearer a few years ago. The face is amazing. Warrior leaves me speechless. This figure is a monument. This would have been an appropriate opportunity to release the yellow IC or even purple winged eagle. Either way, this looks incredible. I’m not really digging the face printing on RDJJ and BABB. Although much better than the Uso face a few series ago, I’m fearing these will be hit or miss, and may not blend in well next to “non-premium” faces, if that makes sense. That’s coming from the dude who made my awesome custom of the same attire

I think the whole set is a must-have for me. I've never felt this way about any past set. That Paul Bearer scan is killer. Warrior's likeness/attire is spot-on. And NAO look great too, love the hair on Road Dogg especially.
That said, can we close-out the irrelevant Rock/Cena discussion/argument in this thread?

These faces look amazing. Hope the true FX looks as good in person as these pics seem. Road Dogg and Billy Gunn are my most wanted.

Is Bill trolling us with this belt? He knows people are looking out for the yellow intercontinental belt.
These "True FX" looks good but the Billy looks like they might have used how he looks now and just added it on to the flashback body.
I kind of like the first Paul Bearer head scan more than this. I LOVE the retro urn; nice touch

I’m a huge Warrior fan but in no way is he on the Mt Rushmore of WWE Champions. He barely cracks the top 10. Who would be your four? Mine would be... Sammartino Backlund Hogan Austin Backlund!?

John cena?!?! Really?!?! You have to be joking!!! John Cena is big ass joke Lmao Hes a wanna be rock lmao Whether you like John Cena or not, he is one of the top 5 biggest stars in pro wrestling history. My Mount Rushmore is Sammartino, Hogan, Stone Cold and Cena. As much a people have their favorite wrestlers, I think these 4 would be the ideal picks for a Mount Rushmore. Of course I would like to see Bret or Shawn up there, but that would just be a personal choice not a universally sound choice.

Wow, these look great! I can't believe we're already seeing MOC pics.
I'm definitely going to try to get Warrior and Road Dogg. It's a maybe on Billy Gunn and Bearer.

Not really into this set but glad for those that are. I already have Paul Bearer and I'm not a fan of DX. I'll probably get the Warrior.
