Mattel are great listeners!
Interesting. Did you miss golden era / new gen due to age, just not being into wrestling then etc. or were you more a passive fan during that time.
Times a funny thing and I often think when people talk about stuff from the 90s it wasn’t that long ago but when you sit and think actually the start of the 90s was 33 years ago boy it makes me feel old! Haha
Yeah it's definitely mind bending how long ago it was!
I was not really a regularly watching wrestling fan until the late 90's when it started to take off like a lot of others. I wouldn't say I hated new gen / golden era wrestling stuff but I just wasn't as engaged. I can remember the Saturday morning stuff a little but but it was just never an interest amongst me or any friends or my brothers. We did love the SNES/Genesis games, though. Then that just gradually grew into 1997.
Also don’t know if you can speak to much on this but have ringside ever thought about having pop up events (snd more specifically international ones)
I went to a pop up a few years back in London which bill came to and a somewhat well known figure YouTuber and it was really fun
I can imagine the logistics obv being a nightmare (even more so post covid) but just wondering if it was ever thrown out just riffing ideas and what if type things? Especially since we had clash in the castle and now MITB over here.
I don't want to say it's impossible so of course 'Never Say Never' but with us there needs to be a pretty strong reasoning other than just a meet-up and a booth with some figures for sale, as nice as it would be to see everyone internationally. Even with Ringside Fest when you think about it, that's really a bit of a special occasion.
That said if we're ever in other locations where there are large groups of people that would want to hang out and talk for a bit, I at least certainly wouldn't be opposed to it. I try to do this at most events we're around but I think people have gotten shy in recent years!
