I’m still confused on why we still haven’t gotten a Brother Love.....Bruce has been back working for WWE for 2 and a half years.

The man works for WWE and has even had a couple of cameos on screen as Brother Love in the last 2 years. If anyone at WWE or Mattel cared enough they could dot the I’s and cross the T’s and get it done. |

Why would he sign a piece of that money over to WWE? |

please, look at the entire picture. look at the list of the Legends Mattel HAS made. its enormous. I mean this is true, but it doesn't benefit modern collectors. It doesn't help me that they made Rick Martel and Demolition 11 years ago if the only way to get them is to spend thousands of dollars on ebay. |

Many guys under a legends deal also have merchandise deals with other companies. True. Because those performers or their estates feel that is the best business decision for them. It's not going to be a smart business decision for everyone. As much as I want a Brother Love elite, at the end of the day Bruce has to do what he feels is the best business decision for him and his brand. I have seen a lot of legends deals first hand. Most of them are VERY bad deals for the talent. If you aren't a major name like a Macho Man, Bret Hart, etc it really isn't worth it. The way the new deals are structured, everything they make off of sales goes against thier down side. If you're not one of the top merch sellers you are never going to make anything over your down side. You are just giving WWE free money at that point. |

Is there a check list anywhere of guys not done yet by Mattel? Would be great if a full list was available and added to forum on top of forum so when guys are made can be removed. Golden Era/New Gen/Attitude/RA
