With WWE's recent restructuring and Vince no longer in the drivers seat everyday, I wonder if this might open the door for merchandise deals to be signed for talent who otherwise would not have been available.
I know in some cases, personal relationships or lawsuits might have blocked certain talent from being available in the past. Hopefully we get to see many of our favorite superstars made into figure form now.

Well if you think about, HHH was really the catalyst for Bruno and Warrior repairing their relationships with the WWE. He definitely has a different approach than McMahon, that's for sure.

This is something I've been thinking about as well. I'm sure it will help. Although it is possible that some of HHH bias comes into play at some point, it'll just be with different wrestlers than it was with Vince.

Nailz (tried to choke out Vince)
The Mountie (offends the Royal Canadian Mounted Police)
Scott Steiner (has said the legends deal is not worth the paper it's printed on)
Jimmy Snuka (in the court of public opinion, he's guilty of murder)
All those plus Rick Steiner and Mr. Fuji are all I feel I NEED. I wonder if new leadership would make a difference.

Maybe with Johnny Ace out that could potentially open the door to the Road Warriors. Apparently a deal was close recently but family issues prevented it.

I kno it’s a long shot…but maybe Martha will finally work with WWE Will never happen. Just because he isn’t CEO doesn’t mean he’s no longer the majority stock holder. Even if Vince sells off all of his shares and has zero interest in the company it’s still unlikely. |

Well maybe WWE should pay some of these legends more. Scotty said it’s not worth it. All I want is some more Sting elites. Crazy to think that the only decent Sting figures we’ve gotten in the last 20 years were from Mattel and at best were all over the place. I personally feel like Sting is one of the biggest stars who has been misrepresented in figure form all these years. Lack of surfer and crows  with good proportions and accuracy. |

I hope HHH will sign his former DX stablemate Tori.

I wonder if new leadership would make a difference. Nailz is a good example of someone who will likely never be made. I understand that some talent are basically no-go, but I hope this change opens the door for talent that might have been on the fringe to get a figure. Scott Steiner I think is possible more now than ever. Time heals all wounds so let's hope for the best. Rick deserves some royalties too! We'll just have to see where things go and how the company treats Bron as I'm sure Scott is mindful of that. |

I expect some subtle changes, but many of those were probably in the works long before the recent changes. Steve mentioned more FTIL talent coming, and obviously things like JJ and Bischoff happened while Vince was around. And something like the Steiners, if they did sign, may be completely independent of any leadership change and more of supporting Bron's career. Or someone like Bruno, who appears to be under a deal again.
I wouldn't expect a crazy change. Stephanie was CBO, so the Legends program would have been under her department previously. But time will tell.

I actually think it’ll get worse. It’ll get more woke without Vince so cancel culture will run wild.
I think in time we’ll loose Warrior and Hulk. Scott Steiner was arrested for assault and terroristic threats so probably unlikely. Sunny - DUI’s. Booker T - robberies. Big Show - arrested for exposing himself. Kurt Angle - DUI’s. Stone Cold - domestic abuse.
etc etc.
We’ve already seen Ric Flair cancelled by WWE. It’s only a matter of time unfortunately. That’s probably why they’re putting so many Hogans out!

So will Hunter cancel himself and all his buddies for blackface? |
