SDCC 2021 Mattel WWE SDCC 2021 Q&A Video!

so a lot of the questions Tom asked were not asked by anyone in the thread on here. were they put out on FB or IG too? kind of curious where these questions came from. i thought i had asked some pretty good and unique ones this year (and of course a few that were meant to be funny) and not a single one was even hinted at.

They were also taking questions on their Facebook page. Those followers from what I see are more casual and will typically ask questions we already know the answers to. It's also alot of why can't you guys make so and so.

Lol I love the list at the end, let us know if one of these guys could be possible starts with guys like Butch Reed and Gangrel and somehow ends with if its possible we’ll get Tamina or Dominik Mysterio.

Grade A quality question lol.

I loved Bill’s answer about Bianca Belair’s earrings. Insight into the design process is what I appreciate most from these Q&A videos.

I think a great idea would be instead of a huge list presented to Bill and Steve, if we as a board conduct a yearly poll prior to SDCC and we present a "WF / Ringside Top 10" names that we would like to see. That way, Bill and Steve could give the "yes at least one / two / three / etc. of those is coming" and it would be more meaningful.

Thanks for all you do, but honestly those questions should never be asked. It always the same answer...."not available to us" "of course we'd like to put them in the line at some point" "if they are available, sure/yes/maybe they'll get made"

Idk just feels like a wasted question every year.

I appreciate everyone's feedback so far and there are some good points - I also understand the frustrations in repeat questions. That said, I think it's pretty obvious what sort of thing can and can't be revealed, however, and that just makes this a bigger challenge.

I'm not opposed to a shortened list or a possible poll or something like that and I know it's tough for people who either already have a Dolph Ziggler or Tamina or know what's obvious like Dominik coming into the line, but I want to make sure we're covering the entire fanbase that's watching which isn't limited to folks here or even folks who are super in-the-know. Some people just don't have a previous Ziggler and are curious if he's going to be in a future lineup and for me that fits within this same discussion when we have limited time on camera with Mattel.
Aside from that though I'd say if anyone is expecting a 'we've made a deal with the estate of Blackjack Mulligan' type hint, it isn't going to happen.


I'd say in the future it might be better to formulate a question about this to reference the era of the wrestlers you're looking for or get more specific:


- Can we expect more Ruthless Aggression era wrestlers in the future like Tyson Tomko, Matt Morgan or a classic Team Angle set?


- Over the years we've asked about Gangrel who was a staple of the Attitude Era being made and we haven't seen him yet - is this any closer to being a possibility?


Something like this is in my eyes probably going to be a more dynamic question than someone asking in one line "WHEN CAN WE HAVE STAN HANSEN" if we're talking outside of a grand list.


Even with that, though, I wouldn't expect a specific answer beyond what you're used to. Couldn't hurt to give it a shot!


Appreciate the responses.

I would be cautiously optimistic that may at least help nudge wwe to make these happen. I never know what is really going on in terms of contracts and they keep it close to the vest which is understood. Still would be nice to feel like they hear us. One of my questions was about a poll with actual talents as opposed to attire choices like mattycollector did once or twice.
