Does Rick feel the same way about a legends deal as Scott? There’s plenty of Dogfaced Gremlin figs that they could do without needing his brother signed. I’d love a Varsity Club. I’d like some Rick Steiner figs regardless of if Scott isn’t made. |

Really can't blame Scott. The Legends deals are absolute garbage for most talent.

No you can't, its gotta be a pride thing because even with the low amount of a legends deal, it's either get some money or none at all. It's not that simple. Standard Legends deals mean the performer signs away all global marketing rights in exchange for a 10k advance and a laughably small percentage on merch paid against that advance. Guys who are still actively doing appearances and matches on the indies most likely make far more money selling merch in person and online and keeping a much, much larger cut. For some situations it can make a lot of sense - estates of deceased wrestlers, top guys who probably get a bigger cut and have a ton of merch. But guys like Steiner, the R&R Express, etc who are still fairly active would probably be leaving a lot of money on the table by signing. It's far from an all or nothing scenario. |

While true, my point still stands. |

You also left out they have more opportunities given to them from wwe. Not only that, but their rate can go up for signings as well and wwe help them book bigger signings too at times. They may get a crap merchandising percentage, but the tag of the wwe legends contract helps in so many ways. A lot of jaded old guys have ruined it for themselves, that’s why they talk trash on the deals Wwe have also helped legends negotiate highest terms for bookings. |

Dont expect a Mattel Scott Steiner figure anytime soon... Old Zeke Steiner is always a great interview and he seemed more interested in hitting on Noelle Foley than talking about figures or the WWE HOF  Looks like we might end up getting a Mick Foley vs. Scott Steiner match thrown onto SummerSlam. lol |

Maybe someone know if Adam Cole Elite 71 attire will be black as the TUE 3-pack or he will get a new attire (the gray-yellow)? The plastic sticking out underneath the title belt looks black, but I suppose it could be a darker grey too. My guess is black though. I dont like that black.. really boring hope he will get the yellow-gray attire |

I really hope a War Games elite is coming soon though. |

I seriously can not stand how Noelle Foley says "Commuhcawn" ... I don't want to be a jerk but she truly is the worst. I honestly sighed and shook my head when she butchered Wendi Richter's name right off the bat. The expectations were already very low but Jesus that's embarrassing. But nothing, and I mean nothing, can come close to those terrible "Ringside Or Riot" videos they used to pay her to make. She would pretend to play with figures and do the most god-awful and unbearable voice overs and impressions. Seriously makes me want to die watching it. I dare anyone to make it through this video without dying. I barely got to 1:20 Good lord. |

Ryder is 100% not happy. Listened to the newest Major WF Pod. Sounds like they kinda dicked him over.

I guess they went to his house took out all his rare figs, messed everything up. He then kept emailing them trying to figure out what was going to happened with the episode. And they ghosted him. |
