To be fair, it's hard not to mention him when he is tied with Cena for most World Titles wins in history and his daughter is the most prominent Women's wrestler in the company's history.
I think they'll mention him because he's a huge part of wrestling history, but images/video and merchandise of him is done for the time being.

His merch was pulled due to the Dark Side episode. WWE SHOP even had preorders up for a $1000 championship. I believe Ric Flair was under a performance contract - we don't know if he was also under a Legends deal or if he signed one once he got his early release (that might have even been one of the conditions for Vince giving him an early release). Kurt Angle mentioned before that when he was released, one of the options was a Legends contract (that he turned down). www.ringsidenews.com/2021/09/21/wwe-removes-ric-flair-merchandise-from-official-shop/He was also removed on the WWE intro video package and replaced with the Ultimate Warrior. TFW you're more problematic than the Ultimate Warrior. To be fair, it's hard to to mention him when he is tied with Cena for most World Titles wins in history and his daughter is the most prominent Women's wrestler in the company's history. I think they'll mention him because he's a huge part of wrestling history, but images/video and merchandise of him is done for the time being. Yeah, if they haven't dropped Charlotte's last name, which is something they do with a lot of wrestlers for simply aesthetic reasons, he's not that deeply on the outs. Not sure the upcoming figures make it out, though.

I think with the figure not seeing shelves until like next April or May, it’s a decent amount of time out from the initial controversy
I say it’s really 50/50 we get it

Not sure how much I believe these but more leaks on IG from pain.maker.figs suggest Ultimate Edition 13 as Mr.T and Mr. America. Ultimate Edition 14 as Rey and Roman. The account also list Ultimate Edition 12 as Batista and Alexa Bliss but that Batista was supposed to be going to Target. Perhaps something had to be shuffled around.

If that is true about Batista, maybe another Fiend or Bray Wyatt was going to be released with Alexa and they moved Batista to the main line since he was released.

That Mr America Mr T combo is insane. Not saying they wouldn’t be sought after but with the Amazon hogan abs Hollywood done already do we need a third repaint with a mask sculpt over the heads? Rey and Roman is a good one, Rey specifically being overdue for this line but picking an attire is going to be tough

Batista was in the original UE series 12 leak before it came out there was a UE legends line. Sounds like old false news.

If WM 1 Hulk isn't with Mr. T then it will be one of the biggest blunders of all time. Nobody cares about Mr. America.

Let’s say those lineups are true which they aren’t
Only would go for Batista, Rey and maybe Roman

Well, we knew that Mr. T & Hogan were going to be in a wave together, but I'd be really interested to see if Mr. America is accurate. Rey and Roman were leaked too, if I recall. And I think we were speculating UE 12 was originally going to be Alexa and Bray. Despite that, I'm not totally convinced Batista's going to end up the replacement, because shuffling around an exclusive that's supposed to lead off a new sub-line seems logistically a huge pain. Maybe they make both of them Target exclusive?
Interestingly that same account also lists Shotzi as a future Basic, with Hurt Business Shelton & Cedric plus, bafflingly, Mace & Slapjack as future Elites. Those are news to me, although I'm excited for more Hurt Business.

Mr America would be a cool UE with various head options. They could do the star mask, the flag mask, and him lifting up the flag mask to reveal his identity

Actually the closest thing mattel has to printing money is mega power Hogan and Savage and yes that "bland" WM 1 Hogan would be sell lights out just like all his other ones have. The casual fan does not connect with Mr. America like they connect with the red and yellow and the black and white.

You should speak to the manager and get Mr. America fired, then.
