So if they wait awhile to renew Macho's deal, do we think that WWE might sign multiple people in his place. Meaning if they don't renew his deal this year, then the amount they would have spent can go to signing X amount of new talent. It would sting (no pun intended) a little less if they were going to sign like 10 new Legends by letting his deal expire. Goldberg's deal also expired this year so they should have extra Legends money to play around with.

What's so hard about plastering your face all over YouTube and opening toy boxes in front of a camera and saying the same annoying quotes. There's more to it than that. Filming is usually the easy part, it's all of the post stuff like editing, promoting etc. that takes time. I have watched Kyle, Alex & MDT in the past, and while I don't watch any of them now - I respect what they've done and continue to do. They've built a following, and managed to get partnerships/sponsorships - that's a lot of work. I'll be the one to say, it really depends on the intricacy of what you're editing/filming. I don't think it's relatively hard compared to let's say filming a music video/short films or anything of that magnitude. It's mostly about consistency/patience and creating a brand that makes you memorable in comparison to what other reviewers are doing. Most people post on social media daily and nowadays mostly everyone has a smart phone. That's a start, there's other simple software you can use to edit videos too. If you're relatively new to something like this it's like anything in life, it requires a bit of patience. However, if you make it a difficult task that's exactly what it will be. I personally don't do it because I do not buy sets or huge quantities of figures. I buy like 4-5 figures a year. If you preorder sets, buy a lot of figures and post often here, I think it's worth the try. I have experience with cameras, software and have a background in the arts field. I look at it more like a crossword puzzle. Also, to say the least I appreciate the time and that we have different people to choose from when it comes to reviews. I personally like Metaldriver and Alexwestcollects. |

Machos in the new slim Jim commercial don’t know if that means anything but I would imagine there’s gotta be a deal in place in order to appear in a commercial

No problem, I'm the same way. I can't stand most of them. Kyle seems like a pretty nice guy though so I watch a few of his reviews and he is decent. I like guys like Kyle, I like Michael Mercy because he is able to help convey my nostalgia and his voice is soothing (I don't care how weird that sounds), Shartimus can get annoying, but he is well intentioned, I really like Dan Who, his live streams are fun to just hang out and talk in. I can't stand listening to Retroblasting most of the time anymore, but he does make a few salient points. I can't stand the "Sky is falling" Viper Island does. I miss Glenn Webb so much. |

Who’s to say it wasn’t addressed? Have any Q&As with the Mattel team dropped online? Makes no sense to randomly bring it up during their presentation or a booth walkthrough. But if RSC, Pixel Dan, MDT, Kyle Peterson, etc talked to the Mattel team and didn’t ask then that’s on them. I was not given an answer when I asked for the record |

This Kyle Peterson is definitely angling to get his free Macho King Ultimate Edition. "Think of it from Mattels side, primarily the big heavy hitters Macho Mans have been done" "The heavy hitters are out of the way." Ozer probably winked at him (don't worry you will get your figure). My other point is.....how can you go from Mattel Macho Mans to those ZST Macho Man face scans? He looks like he is doing a Bee Gees tribute tour in a Las Vegas convention center. For the record you did not understand the video clearly. I was playing devils advocate about the situation. |

Me too. I think a lot of people just hate on YouTubers in general 🤷♂️. No, guys like MDT & Kyle Peterson don’t do a good job at what they claim they are doing: reviewing figures. There are other YouTubers, like alex west collects, that do a fine job. I’m just a song and dance man at the end of the day. |

Sometimes, its such a ridiculous thing for a toy collector to say, I don't even know why they kid themselves. Coming from KYLE PETERSON of all people. The man who owns (or soon will own) every single wrestling figure ever released. This dude went back and bought every Jakks figure ever. He has 11 Ruthless Aggression JBLs on a shelf in his house. And he's gonna talk about how WM7 Ultimate Macho Man isn't a heavy hitter. What a hack. But hats off, Mattel. I don't know any other PR team that would work for $200/month in toys. Mania 7 Macho is a heavy hitter he was retired by the Warrior never forget. I would love to see where I ever said that was not a heavy hitter. The macho man, video and question was looking at things from all sides. |

Gotta think with Macho appearing in the newest Slim Jim commercial for WWE that something has been done.

And if there’s a set budget for signing legends talent with no immediate plans to resign Savage then it’s safe to assume they will pursue either someone around the same star power or multiple undercard guys. |
