Welp, WCW doesn't do much for me.
Who are the figures even gonna be?
The NWO?
Macho Man?
Lex Luger?
MAYBE the Steiners?
Doesn't seem worth $250+ to me.
Even if it was split to be interchangeable with the RAW set, you're now sacrificing WWE offerings for WCW characters, and vice-versa.
The SmackDown fist stage was RIGHT there... The Elimination Chamber, Hell in a Cell, various other options... Just kinda meh about it.
Ah well. I'm happy for those who are excited about this.

Why waste a spot to include that when you can just release a ring like they did the raw? At some point they’ll add the Raw entrance stage too, no reason to have to use our raw ring to convert into a wcw ring. Like I said, they always tell us how our ideas and such don’t make sense or it’s a bad buisness decision, yet they do this lol. All I’m saying is, why do stuff backwards? If you were going to do a wcw Nitro stage, why not release the wcw ring instead of the raw ring? Makes zero sense It could very well be a 2-in-1 like people are saying, we'll just have to wait and see. I don't think they will feel the need to put another ring out, especially if the base is the same as the Raw ring. Then what was the point in putting the raw ring out after we got the New Gen ring? If you’re gonna do a nitro and raw entrance stage, why have to convert rings ? Like I said before. If it indeed is a nitro stage and it doesn’t include the raw stage , it makes zero sense unless you’re planning on releasing n Nitro ring also |

Definitely should have been something that transcends eras. Hell in a cell or elimination chamber would’ve been perfect

My guess is nwo bischoff, ddp, big poppa pump. Maybe ways to convert into nwo branding as stretch goal. I think an nWo Bischoff is an absolute must and is actually a realistic possibility seeing as he's finally in the line. I'm hoping for some sort of Nitro ring conversion kit for people who have the New Gen ring but I get why that's not probably going to happen. Aside from Bischoff, other figures I'd hope for (if we're sticking with the same number of 3 that we got with the first crowdfund) would be a UE jeans DDP, UE Kevin Nash, or a UE short-haired, facial hair Roddy Piper with black No Fear shirt, leather jacket, and kilt. |

So it's definitely what they showed on display at SDCC, the teaser photo matches the backdrop behind Goldberg.  Just a matter of what figures it will come with and what add-ons. If this is it and 3-4 figures, I don’t see it worth $300+ in value |

It didn't specify its just WCW. It says "Monday Night Wars" so some Attitude will defitnetly be included. Personally, I think he said that to leave some vagueness around the project but we'll see. |

Oh thank  for that - the only stage I would buy now is the SD Fist. Other than that, I'm very happy with my New Gen setup. |

How the hell could this be 2-in-1?! I'd be pretty shocked if they pulled that off. The two stage designs couldn't be more different except for some similar looking steel truss pieces. I don't see how they could make a single set that can be assembled differently to create either a RAW stage or a Nitro Stage. It just seems like it would really raise the price point. Tooling a stage is already a cost I can't fathom. Now they need to engineer it to snap together into a completely different design? And then we have a whole new argument about what UEs does it come with. Now we've got a lot of people angry because we're are getting a UE Austin in jeans and a camo jacket and not a Scott Steiner. It'll make a lot of people feel slighted and just cause a ton of negativity towards the set. I'd be willing to see and hear ideas but it just seems super far off from what I envisioned. I see zero reason not to at least make the signage double sided with Raw graphics on the other side |

Let’s assume it is war themed and not a specific brand. Then there’s no way it’s a stage. It would be a collection of set pieces and accessories from the era. Nitro desk, DX jeep, HIAC, limo (works for both), etc.

I don’t really care about the stages that much. It’ll at depending on the figures for me. I almost hope I don’t want who they include so it’ll be easy to pass on lol
It’d be hard to pass on an UE jeans DDP though.

Probably going to be the Raw/Nitro Stages. You don’t do fundings for Limos, figures,ring skirts , DX Jeeps and such. You need something big to go along with that type of stuff. We got the New Gen entrance and ring, we got a raw ring (missing stage). This is probably like I said before, Raw/Nitro stage with announcers tables, maybe announcers and some other figures. Which thay would be considering “way more expensive” than the new Gen ring and entrance . |

I don’t think there’s anyway possible a DDP ultimate edition isn’t included somewhere in this crowdfund.

I don't have room for another big stage despite being a big WCW fan.
Just can't think of who they would put in this that hasn't been done that would be a draw like a Hogan or Macho

I am a big WCW mark, so I'm really excited for this! I just hope if another ring is involved that is optional (I have too many rings as is).

Imho "Monday Night Wars" means WCW vs WWF or NWO vs WCW..If the Crowdfund is "expensive" I can image a 2 in 1 stage entrance, tools for smock, lights and many figures.

Yeah. I think people are reading too much into Steve saying they’re taking you back to the wars. I doubt they’re gonna give you a bunch of medium sized things. It’s gonna be one big thing and things that compliment it. And the stage can’t be a 2 in 1. There’s no shared parts to convert a Raw stage into a Nitro stage. |

Steve hasn’t posted anything about it on IG and he said that’d be where he posted the info so I’m assuming we’ll get info today He put the same teaser in his story. I was assuming we’d know all the details today, but I guess not. Makes sense to do the reveal next week and capitalize on the WM buzz. They will also likely be hitting the round on podcasts and other avenues to promote it. Hopefully they learned from some of the missteps last year and have a more successful launch of the campaign. |
