So with Muhammad Ali official we just need these guys in UE to recreate WM main events
WM 1 Orndorff WM 2 King Kong Bundy WM 4 Million Dollar Man WM 4 Macho Man Randy Savage WM 5 Macho Man Randy Savage WM 7 Sgt. Slaughter WM 8 Sid Justice WM 9 Yokozuna WM 9 Hulk Hogan in Tights WM 9 Bret Hart though his target exclusive is close. WM 10 Bret Hart WM 11 L.T. WM 11 Bam Bam Bigelow WM 12 Bret Hart WM 12 HBK WM 13 UNDERTAKER WM 13 Sycho Sid WM 14 HBK WM 14 Mike Tyson WM 16 Big Show, Rock, Mick Foley WM 18 Chris Jericho WM 19 Kurt Angle WM 20 redacted WM 20 HHH WM 20 HBK WM 21 BATISTA WM 21 HHH WM 22 HHH WM 23 John Cena WM 23 HBK WM 24 Edge WM 24 Undertaker WM 25 HHH & Randy Orton WM 26 UNDERTAKER WM 26 HBK WM 27 The Miz WM 28 The Rock WM 30 Daniel Bryan, Orton, BATISTA WM 31 Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins WM 32 HHH WM 32 Roman Reigns WM 35 Ronda, Charlotte. 2 Night Events but only counting 2nd night main event.
WM 36 Drew McIntyre WM 37 Edge, Bryan WM 39 Cody Rhodes
Obviously some of these have been done in elite or basic form and hogan never changed his attire just his hair line changed.But from that list WM 3, 6, 15, 17 though not the proper colors on rock attire are complete. 20 can never happen, and the a majority of them just need a Ftil ultimate. Several are unable due to contracts with AEW.
No polls just thoughts who of this list do you see completing WM main events of the past ?

Because he had the same ring attire what makes each SCSA unique are his shirts and vests and sometimes knee braces. I especially want 15 (snake arms shirt) and 17 if they can do BMF (I know they won’t do 101 Proof)

I didn't add Muhammad Ali as I stated Orndorff was needed. I didn't add Yokozuna twice because he wore the same look at both events. Not exactly. While the color scheme was the same, his WrestleMania 9 tights had red strings/tassels attached to the mawashi, the WM10 tights did not. Also, he's wearing an elbow pad/sleeve at WM10, but not at WM9. And the entrance robes were different, he wore the black and white checkered pattern one at WM9, and the red one with the Japanese flag on the back at WM10. What about Hogan? There were slight differences in his attires, and belts, at WM2, WM3, WM5 WM6, WM7, and WM8. You also left Lex off your list from WM10 - it was a double main event after all... With that being said, if you're going to include double main event figures, then we will need Macho and Flair from WM8.

I only counted last physical match but yes so entrance gear is different in some but would people really want 8 very similar hogan's or would you want more of his opponents I know Austin wore different vest but you could literally add those and a set of colored knee pads and it would cover all his looks.

But to be able to claim we have an UE version of someone from a specific event then yes it would have to have all of the accessories that link them to that event. You can’t say we have an UE Austin from WM14 if you have to borrow accessories from another figure to make it.

This isn't directed at anyone specific, but I really don't get people's obsession with wanting EVERYONE "re-done" whenever a slightly new figure style comes along, when there's so many classic names who don't have ANY Mattel figure yet (or even any figures EVER for that matter). Most of these guys listed here have perfectly fine Elite figures. Sure it makes sense to redo names here and there, or if someone hasn't had a figure in a decade or more, but I just don't like the "start again" collecting mentality and the implication that redoing all the A-listers in a new style should be prioritized over getting more obscure names (in any style) who are much more deserving of a new figure. As a 25+ year collector I've learned to be OK with mixing different styles and companies in my figure display. Sure in an ideal world everything would match perfectly, but styles are constantly evolving/improving, different names become available and unavailable, and the more obscure names gradually get (undeservedly) forgotten. I'd rather the focus be more on building a deeper roster of Legends, even if the styles don't always match. Instead of redoing everyone as an Ultimate, I'd hope Mattel would work on ticking off names who don't have any figure, like those awesome lists of missing names arranged by PPV appearances, which were put together by WF member grandmasterPRA: forum.wrestlingfigs.com/thread/374505/biggest-missing-legends-era

Personally, I don’t see the obsession with wanting everything to be UE. Some figures don’t need it. A lot of main event A-list wrestlers don’t need it. I’m perfectly fine with every new trunks Hogan to be an elite. Same with Stone Cold. Triple H also falls in that category. That being said, for the sake of the theme of this thread, the UE Stone Cold we have does not work for any of the Manias he main evented, therefore if someone is listing all the UE main eventers we need, those versions should be included.

Ultimate's should be reserved for special wrestlers and special moments. Kind of how Defining Moments were. For example, I have no issue with Mattel making the The Gobbledy Gooker but I think it's really stupid that they made an Ultimate of it. Especially considering people that tend to like that are doing so through rose-colored glasses. NOBODY and I mean NOBODY thought the Gooker was cool when it happened. But NOW people want it in figure form? Besides the SS that it debuted it was never seen or heard from again, so why should anyone REALLY need that footnote in their collection other than ironically liking it?

I think WM main events do deserve UE treatment at one time King Kong Bundy was the heel people thought hogan might fall too. Sgt Slaughter already has one but his wm 7 look looks more toyetic. But Yokozuna and sid great new Gen additions.

It is a moment from that era that really sticks out. It was a one and done overhyped ridiculously dumb character that is still remembered 30 years later. At first when the figure was teased years ago the reaction was lukewarm because the line was still young and there were plenty of better characters we wanted instead. Now that the well has been nearly ran dry, these niche characters are what a lot of us are wanting. Clearly there’s a huge demand for him now. And as to why he’s UE, it’s probably because of the budget. He required almost entirely new parts from top to bottom. They probably couldn’t have executed it as an elite with the budget they have to work with.

For WrestleMania we also need Pat Patterson, Orndorff, Snuka & Orton. And if you are basing this off getting a “Ref Ali” then certainly for your list you need to add the Referees from every WM Main Event. So your list is missing quite a few names.

At the very least special guest refs like Mankind at WM15. I assume there’s more but can’t recall off the top of my head.

If it gets me the snake arms tee, give me Wrestlemania 15 Stone Cold.
Sami and Kevin from 39 are my second and third most wanted.
