Chris Benoit was never charged and convicted on any counts of murder so why isn’t he getting an Ultimate?

He probably did but they dismissed the trial. You all can’t be one way with him but look the other way with other issues with people like Lex Luger, Chyna, Jeff Hardy, Stone Cold, Eddie Guerrero and countless others who have done horrible things. There’s one person on wresting that shouldn’t get a figure and we all know who that is. I would still buy his figure though. I know I’m not the only one None of these people are killers Lex Luger killed the excitement of anyone watching pro wrestling but I guess that’s not a crime |

This is getting way off topic. Before it gets locked up let’s get back on subject. So do we think Ali is a 2 in 1 or two separate UE figs? I don’t know what I’d hate more. Having to pay $80 for two Ali figs or having a crappy looking ref AlI with soft goods over boxing attire.

It would look terrible. |

All of those people should have 6 inch action figures in their likeness? If that's your stance I respect it but all of these people had victims so turning a blind eye to all of them and crying about someone else is just hypocritical |

Anyway without reading through this thread I am guessing when people are mentioning Ali it’s for Mohammad Ali and not Mustafa Ali? |

The SDCC exclusive is going to be an Ultimate Wrestlemania 34 Mustafa Ali. |

Snuka didn’t wear trunks at WrestleMania he wore black sweat pants and a black cut up tshirt. So we weren’t getting a trunks Snuka there anyway. And honestly whether he did it or not he was never convicted of anything because they waited too long to reopen it. And because of it he’s only accused so they could release one in the future if they feel like it. You can’t black ball someone over an accusation. That said I doubt we’ll see another Snuka from Mattel. Sadly, you can. Either way, this would have been a great two-pack (elite or ultimate edition).    I bet we will get that Piper somewhere down the line as an Elite or even an Ultimate, complete with the red shirt and a coconut. I'd totally prefer Piper's Pit, but it's unlikely we get that anytime soon. |

If it was a 2 pack of Ali and someone else, I'd take the soft goods ref gear, so Ali could be a 2 in 1 If Ali is by himself as the exclusive figure, then give me an Ali 2-pack because it will look better Idk which is really better but if it's gonna be Ali, I'd prefer to get boxing gear somehow, rathwr then just a straight up molded ref gear ultimate... If that makes sense 🤦🏻♂️ |

(*hope that doesn't sound disrespectful... I didn't mean it to be) He was a bouncer and a drunk man pulled a knife on him. Justifiable homicide |

If it is indeed 2 separate Ali figures (boxing gear and ref gear), I wonder if it's a one-shot deal for Mattel? I would have thought it would make far more sense (business-wise) to just release one figure, then the other down the road...
I'd love a (ref gear) Ali Retro too.

Yeah I can’t think of any other Ali figure that they could make other than tan pants vs Gorilla but that would be a major peg warmer. |

(*hope that doesn't sound disrespectful... I didn't mean it to be) Bill literally came on here and told us Scott Hall would never happen. I want to say he said that about Chyna too but could be wrong. |
