Yeah just posted it after yours so I deleted mine.
Im willing to bet, a lot of those guys will begrudgingly, and eventually sign legends deals. After all, some of them will probably need the money.
LOD went from not happeing, to very possible in the future.

Come on home, Demolition. I need some legends that won’t kill my bank account.

Slick, one man gang, mr fuji, Adam bomb,Barbarian, etc would be great to get. Demolition, bundy etc would be great for new versions. Maybe we can get more rockers releases too. Powers of pain....
I would like to see some in future hall of fame classes too.

Are WWE really going to be rushing out to sign these guys who just tried to sue them?

I wouldn't immediately assume this means all those names are coming back into the fold. Some of them have long term heat with the fed, like Adam Bomb.

If anything i think these guys may have been sweet talked by a fast talking lawyer about a quick payday. I doubt its nuclear heat just a nuisance. Some, not all would be very well suited to sign legends deals and be potential hall of fame inductees imo. |

If history has taught us anything is that Vince won’t let a grudge get in the way of making money. IE Hardy’s, New age outlaws, Jarrett, Hogan multiple times, Bruno, Warrior and the list goes on and on and on. |

It takes two to tango, folks. Plaintiffs from the case (Mabel, Orndorff) signed within the last few years while it was still ongoing. So it's not like the floodgates suddenly open after this appeal is rejected.
Some of the bigger names have long standing issues with WWE, and have noteworthy income streams that they would need to give up to sign with WWE. That's not going to make financial sense for some. For others, they may just not do it out of spite.
It's possible some guys end up signed at some point. But this ruling was expected for months, and doesn't fundamentally change anything. Don't get your hopes up, folks.

Call me selfish for wanting them as figures... but i just feel like with the network churning out nostalgia documentaries and new content, hall of fame, and other ventures, some of those guys should jump on board. The wwe marketing group would be able to put polish on those that have tarnished their legacies and make them look like stars again in a way. Gotta better than putting on tights and wrestling in indies or doing cheaply produced shoot interviews.
And did i mention i want my figures?

There weren’t too many names on the list of plaintiffs that would be willing to sign a legends deal that we haven’t already gotten figures for. It’s not like we were missing out on anyone major.

I think a Demolition and Legion of Doom rereleases would be good with slight changes. I would love demolition with different face paint. Maybe lod with slight variations to the tights design or shoulder pads or animals face paint. Barbarian would be great for solo run with cape and horns and powers of pain. Slick would be a great figure and you could get a few color schemes out of him. Mr fuji with bowler hat and tux and robe for yokozuna. One man gang is a huge need and akeem rerelease would be warranted. Maybe a twin towers two pack?The Rockers would be good but we also know about martys constant controversies and issues. Not sure about the others. These are the names that jumped out to me. |

No, WWE will not rush to sign these guys. Their money comes from ads, TV, PPV, and sponsors. Getting One Man Gang in figure form, that maybe 2000 people will buy, is very far down the list.

The only name on that list I want a (new) figure of is Muhammad Hassan.

I didnt, I was meaning since lawsuit was dismissed, its a lot likely now than it was previously. Obviously that doesn't mean they will, but there's no lawsuit in-between. |
