Biggest Names We Still Need?

Forgive a little Steiner math, but I think the odds go up once (if?) Scott ever stops having an active in-ring schedule.  The money he is making on the indies outweighs signing away his merch rights.  If he stopped doing appearances, it might be worth taking the WWE payout since he wouldn't be sacrificing existing income.

But I think Steiner has a reputation for having been pretty good with his money and is a loose cannon.  So it's entirely possible he never signs out of spite.

I think this is telling, if WWE were interested in offering them a legends deal, I would think they would have tried to reach out by now.  My thinking is they either don't think its worth it to sign a legends deal with his estate (i.e. they won't make a lot of money from Hercules merch, although in this regard one can ask how much did they make from Boogeyman or Tatanka both of whom were signed specifically for Mattel so they can make figs) or there is bad blood between McMahon & Hercules and Vince has not given the okay to sign him to a legends deal.  Either way the odds are low IMO that we will ever see a Hercules figure.  I came across an article a while back, an interview with Herc's daughter discussing her father and in it she proceeded to say some not so nice things about WWE and certain talent.  I wonder if perhaps this may have something to do with why they don't appear interested in signing a legends deal with the family.

Also, regarding Herc's family- if they are so eager and willing to sign a legends deal then why didn't they sign a deal with Jakks?!  Jakks was signing deals directly with the talent so it would have been a lot easier to get a deal done then trying to go through WWE.

Owen Hart (yea I know)
Superstar Billy Graham
Don Muraco
Greg Valentine
Chris Benoit (he shouldn't and won't get made)
Adrian Adonis

Just a few that I feel like are necessary to my collection. This isn't even getting into the eras and attires we need of these guys, or of guys who already have figures for that matter.... to complete our rosters.

The Legends deals are funny stuff.  As you mentioned, there are the guys who clearly sell merch, and then some guys who seem to have zero marketing value.  I think it's the WWE equivalent of the "thank you for service" gold watch.  They throw a small Legends payout at some of the guys who were backstage favorites at one time or another.  Heck, Stevie Ray most likely got a Legends deal just for being Booker's brother.  I don't know that it's necessarily that other wrestlers are on bad terms so much as that they weren't Vince's favorites.  I'm amazed we haven't gotten a Bob Holly figure yet, since he seemed like a guy who was going to have a job for life until he got cut loose.

I think that if the Legends line had been successful, it might be a very different landscape.  When the Legends line got cancelled, Mattel got left paying a bunch of wrestler contracts that were a sunk cost for them.  Eventually they repackaged those figures into the Flashbacks in the Elite line, but it very clearly changed their mindset on how to handle retired characters.
