Hopefully they get a new deal in place but if not I’ll live. A CC figure with Liz was really the only Macho is still wanted that bad.

Bro it's not that black and white,I mean it is, but I'm a journalist, how can I report objective fact and condense information in a clear concise way and expect to keep my job? Can you read? As a fellow journalist I hope you understand that I've got to do some more research and make sure I have all the details before I can answer this question. Give me a bit because I'm at work but you are kind of being annoying. |

That's the same place on the card as it's hosts funnily enough. That’s still too high on the card I like Meyers so I won't bury him, but Mid-cardona for sure. |

If they ever get a new deal in place they better start pumping out some new gen neon cowboys with the jackets and stuff.

Sucks we got the Warrior first. They have to start being more strategic with the talents available. Even more pissed because I got charged for the Seth UE I ordered with it and don’t want it now because it was just for the free shipping…

I wonder if with the deal coming close to an end that’s why they didn’t have Savage as a figure in the Nitro crowdfund?🤔

Macho's deal wasn't exclusive to WWE. Wasn't a traditional legends deal (this much we knew already, Mattel signed guys like Bret and Macho and Warrior separately at the beginning of the line when they were allowed to sign guys separately). Macho's estate has since signed with an agency, CMG. CMG also has guys like Andre and Bulldog (who have deals with WWE + others, as we've seen) and Pillman (who I don't believe has a WWE deal at the moment, but I could wrong on that one) and Hawk (no WWE deal). So signing with CMG doesn't necessarily mean one way or the other regarding WWE imo. That original Macho deal with WWE is over. Will they re-sign? Wait and see. Macho's estate has signed deals with Zombie Sailor and Major pod (for bendies and presumably their new LJN line too. Thanks for the summary, and I look forward to checking out the podcast. Macho also has a BCA style figure coming with whatever Chella is going by these days and I believe is still on PWT as well. So yeah, he seems to be everywhere and I assume their licensing rates are very fair for such small companies to get on board. I also find the CMG aspect fascinating. I assume they're acting with at least some guidance from the respective estates, so there's probably no one sized fits all situation. But the timing is really interesting here, with the licensing expiring right around the same time as a huge business acquisition. |

Glad you appreciate that part too, trolls gonna troll. I wanted to make sure I got that part right cause it's super interesting imo, not just as simple as "they lost him." We see Andre getting the treatment everywhere INCLUDING WWE, while some others from that group haven't been a part of the Mattel scene for years. They also say on the pod that the current Legends deals WWE is offering are barely worth anything, for what it's worth. So we might see more guys go the Macho route and look to be better compensated elsewhere with multiple separate deals. |

I mean, they pretty much have - it's just been spread out over 12 years, rather than the "all at once" we're getting with Hogan. The only reason we're getting all these Hogans is because they've got a lot of catching up to do... |

Chella has nothing to do with the upcoming Bone Crushing Wrestlers Randy Savage. That’s 100 percent 3Lephant (Naptown Icon)’s baby. Acknowledge him!   |

Not that I want to ease all the unbelievable bellyaching but I did ask the question and it did get answered We already know Mattel lost the rights. So that question is a week late, but appreciate the effort. Nothing wrong with a little added context and straight from the horse's mouth as opposed to a thread! But feel free to fast forward or skip watching it all together. |

The Panel one or is there an upcoming Q&A video? Thanks |

The Panel one or is there an upcoming Q&A video? Thanks There is a Q&A coming. I wouldn't expect anything too drastically different than what you've already heard. There aren't really any surprises with this one based on the info we have found out and received (which is why the strong reaction is still baffling me, but whatever) so it'll just kind of put a period on the sentence so to speak. |

Just wanted to make sure because I was watching the Panel video last night but was exhausted and fell asleep about 10 minutes into it. So I just want to know if the Q&A’s were part of that. Thanks |
