If Mattel made a Best of the Early Years line (pre-1980), like they did with the Best of the Attitude Era line - who would be the first THREE wrestlers they should release?
My picks would be the following based on commercial appeal, rather than overall success (as I would have rather chosen guys like Buddy Rogers and Lou Thesz, but I feel like those would be too plain of figures):
- Haystacks Calhoun - with horseshoe necklace
- Chief Jay Strongbow - with headdress, vest, and tomahawk
- Gorgeous George - with robe and feather fan

Buddy Rogers - can come with the first ever WWWF World Title, he also had some kind of ring entrance gear that he would take off (rather effeminately to get a reaction from the crown).
Superstar Billy Graham - very colorful, can come with the WWWF Title, cloth tie-dye shirt, and a feather boa
Gorgeous George - robe and feather fan

Oh man, this would be an amazing set. They could actually pull this off with a few figs they've already done (Bruno, Andre, Patterson, Backlund) but for the sake of day dreaming, let's pick a fresh batch.
I'll make it like a Flashback Walmart set of 4 
Legacy Flashback Set 1 (with Build-A-Vince in yellow jacket)
- Buddy Rogers (w/ WWWF championship - Vince legs)
- Pedro Morales (w/ Jacket - Vince arms)
- Antonio Inoki (w/ towel - Vince head & microphone)
- Superstar Billy Graham (w/ tye dye shirt - Vince torso & jacket)

Great idea for a series! So many great names to choose from, and lots of awesome suggestions in this thread already. I think my first three picks would be:
Billy Graham
Pedro Morales
Ernie Ladd
I would love to get some tag teams too.
The Moondogs
The Blackjacks
The Valiant Brothers

Billy Graham Bruiser Brody The Original Sheik I love the Sheik, and think Mattel would knock it out of the park. I just wasn't sure if WWE would start off with him. |
