I hope not. DDP was there. Mattel really needs to start giving us the attires we want and stop waiting for the last minute. They've done this with RVD, the Dudleys, Hollywood Hogan and now we'll probably never get a WCW Jericho or a FB Rhyno -_-

I found a bunch of articles about Bret contract with WWE. Most were from 2013-2014. Basically, Bret wasn’t on a Legends Deal as he didn’t want to be ‘owned’ by WWE. He stated he wants to have a good ‘friendship’ with WWE but be free to do his own thing.
I have no idea if it’s still the same now - maybe he has a merch deal of some sort covering WWE shop/Topps and Mattel figures etc?

Yeah, really glad they got Goldust in right before he went. Sucks that Jericho had to be modern now and probably will never get a WCW version. I feel like Mattel really dropped the ball with Jericho in general. I wanted a WCW lion heart for the longest and never got anything Yet we got loads of 'modern' basics and even a monsters figure of him but not a wcw one 🤦♂️

If Vince tries to pull one of his "Vince moves" trust me, Bret ain't going to be quiet about it. He'll let us know, and will become part of AEW out of spite. I hope after last night Vince realized he can't be that petty and stupid anymore. Lmao nothing about WWE is gonna change for at least the next three months

Hogan being back in the fold and Hogan figures are a license for Mattel and WWE to print money.

I’d be kinda mad tbh. Didn’t Bret say he’d be in WWE forever? 🙄

Bret: "tell you what Vinnie, I won't suit you for the HOF fan (due to poor security and the fact that I could have been really hurt) if you don't suit me for doing this..."

I bought the DM Jericho specifically to convert him into a WCW Jericho. He wore black attires like that all the time there around '97/'98, so though it's not a *real* WCW gear, it totally works. Repaint the head blonde, give him the cruiserweight title (until Mattel release a proper WCW one), and it works well enough. I fully concur they squandered their opportunity to do a proper one, though.

I personally think he'll be fine. Bret is pretty vocal when Vince pulls some BS on him and I'd like to think even Vinny Mac knows when to pick his battles.
That said, even if he gets nixed from WWE out of spite, the only figure I'd be missing is WCW or Survivor Series 96. Again, I don't think anything will happen since Hart merch sells like hot cakes.

I do t think that single appearance will have any impact on future figures. He doesn’t have a contract with aew. Naturally, they’d want to get as many big stars to appear on the show as possible (I’m surprised there weren’t more). It was a payday for Bret. I doubt the wwe would hold that against him.

Bret makes wwe money and wwe makes Bret money.
Neither would ruin that. It was most likely discussed prior to the event. As stated earlier in the thread, flair was originally supposed to do it

If Mattel DOESN'T make a Survivor Series 1996 Hitman, I'd be sad. Such a cool looking attire that, IMO, should have been on the upcoming Ultimate rather than the splatter design. I’d be kinda mad tbh. Didn’t Bret say he’d be in WWE forever? 🙄 In 1996 he did, yeah. Although, he can still be with WWE and make appearances elsewhere. Plenty of others have done that.

Headswapping with the DM could also work if you like the black tights better but most of the Y2J attires I remember in WCW were more colorful.

His merch is still up WWE ship, and if Flair was meant to do it, I assume WWE was aware. I want more Hitmans (honestly they can’t make enough IMO), I am hoping he may see a Retro release in all pink...

I'd like to see a RR 94 or WM 8 Bret in the future. Also Survivor Series 96 and another hart foundation pack from Survivor series 88.
