He was sorry I don't follow guys who stopped wrestling 10 years ago.
I know Luther Reigns went on to do stuff with porn community so doubt we see him get a figure

His wife was a porn star (he was in wwe married to her) and was in the movie the girl next door but he didn’t actually do porn, anymore tales? |

I never said he did porn but he was involved with it after he left wwe I recall he was involved in a pra k show that pissed off a guy and got into a fight with the guy. It's not tales.
If they are not touching Val venis doubt Luther would be on their radar.

How many people are really clamouring for a Luther Reigns figure?

I think the only hard no is Benoit. Beyond that, anything is possible - in either direction - given changing attitudes in society, WWE ownership, and Mattel's corporate policies. As for wrestlers who have died by suicide, I believe that's something Bill either stated outright or heavily implied on a couple of occasions. I remember one being after Brian Christopher died, and I think the other may have been when someone asked about Crash Holly. Bill also said that we'd never get Razor Ramon, Luger, or Chyna. It's a corporation - bosses change and policies change with them. But there have definitely been restrictions over the years over the years. Owen is also a hard no, his family is not going to change their minds about never doing anything with WWE. The only Owens will be from AEW or independent producers |

A good figure? Owen Hart.

Surprised it took this long for Owen's name to be mentioned.
Best hope at this point is to get a custom elite made using the AEW head. I'm not even sure if they will work though.

I plan on getting an extra legends ultimate Bret for this. I already have a Ric flair elite for the legs part 😂😂 I'm gonna use the newer aew elite when it comes out. |

AEW needs to make a decent Owen head first and foremost They somehow made a figure so bad and in an attire so bland that they managed to stop people caring about Owen’s first figure in more than 2 decades |

Owen, Snuka, Benoit. Those are your three guarantees from Mattel as far as people not getting another wrestling figure. Owen is still getting figures in Jazwares though and will likely continue to do so. On the list of "Almost certainly not happening", I doubt we'll ever get another Moolah or Sunny. And Strongbow is an obvious one for "Snowball's chance in hell" but that's for an entirely different reason. Vince McMahon, however, isn't on this list and frankly, I see them as just waiting for the scandals to calm down then giving him another go at it. He's like Hogan, he's too important to the company to blacklist for good. I don’t think Mattel will make Vince again, they make toys for children and he has a laundry list of sex offenses |

I honestly believe Benoit is the only “never” guy.
Sure, many of the names listed have some troubled pasts, but you can reasonably draw line between their wrong doings and some of the current guys.

I also don’t think we’ll get this. Pretty sure the original Betsy Ross flag was “canceled” a few years ago. I recall Nike getting scrutinized for having it on a pair of sneakers resulting in them pulling the shoes.  |

The reaction hasn't even been negative. It's just been silent indifference. I think Macho Man said something along the lines of "I don't care if you cheer me or boo me. As long as you're talking about me." The total indifference on Owen is the canary in the coal mine as far as I'm concerned for Jazwares. |

Maven had a few Jakks figures back in the day. Even though the Ruthless line could be a good home for him does anyone care?
