To make this a little harder, I kept it primarily to male singles wrestlers who didn’t have a Hasbro/Retro (even under a different gimmick) and aren’t getting a release from another company (like Bundy).
Pick 4!
Edit: Lawler made it on there twice by mistake.

For new gen I think Mabel and Lawler are layups.

Lawler, Vader, Mabel, PRP. I fully expect those first three to be made, and be made early. Ahmed doesn't have an Elite and seems unlikely imo.
Some other big wants on that list, though. Savio, Sparky, Bodydonnas, Godwins, Hakushi, and Flash Funk. Obviously Dean Douglas, but I don't expect Shane to ever sign a Legends deal. So maybe Zombie can make him. Although, I'd pick Franchise 10 times out of 10 over his Dean look since we're now going to have Sabu. Maybe we can get both at some point.

Not the biggest new generation fan. Wrestling died the first time around then lol. But I would buy:
Lawler is an easy choice.
I’d rather have Men on a Mission Mabel
Bob Backlund
LT would be cool. I never thought about him having a fig before. I think I’d rather have an elite. And I hate the Giants. Go Redskins.
Double J.

I own a ton of figures made by Custom Boss and have considered buying one of his custom LT’s as it is nearly perfect: http://instagram.com/p/COQvF7QH5Lx |

Vader Pillman Douglas (although I wasn’t a fan of the gimmick) Only 3? From the choices they are the only ones I would buy. I would have picked Backlund also if you didn’t make it new Generation only, but a New Gen Backlund isn’t a figure I would want because they’d probably make him in a shirt and bow tie. Give me a Mid 70’s - early 80’s Backlund in trunks I would certainly buy it. |

I was aiming at wrestling gear/shying away from specialty figures so in my mind it would have to be a dark blue trunks Backlund with the shaved head. It could look pretty close to the 70’s era Bob!

Jerry Lawler and Vader are in my top 5 retro wants. I would pick Patriot and Pillman for the other 2 spots.

Vader & Lawler are both at the top of my retros wish list.
Tricky to pick the other two, but from the early new gen I remember as a kid, I’d have to say Bob Backlund & Mabel.
