So no more Randy Savage? Who owns his license/image now that Lanny has passed away?

People on here really need to learn to agree to disagree, especially on mostly subjective things. In this situation, what's subjective is thinking the wrestler is "deserving" or etc. of the push they've gotten. But its objective that that push is by far the biggest one given to a female wrestler.

Nope. If it woulda been Ronda vs Charlotte like they originally planned it would not have main evented over Seth vs Brock or Bryan vs Kofi. Becky was the hottest thing going at the time. That’s why the women went on last. Really were you there ? In the room after Brock got booed the year prior he did not want to main event especially with a guy 100+ lbs lighter. If she's so popular without rousey then why wasn't she main eventing night 1 in last few years ? Yeah the biggest show of the year ended with Becky raising up the two women’s championships in a match she originally wasn’t even supposed to be in all because Ronda and because Brock didn’t want to main event. lol

You know, Bam Bam Bigelow main evented WM once. By that token, he's the biggest male star in pro wrestling going by this logic. Bam Bam main-evented WM as a throw-in body in a celebrity match. Becky has been pushed as one of the biggest acts in the company for going on 5 years at this point, main-evented multiple PPVs and a Mania, moves a ton of merch, and been presented by WWE as a star and face of the company. The only other woman who's ever remotely got that kind of push for that sustained a period of time has been Charlotte. I get not liking Becky - or any other wrestler for that matter - but pretending that WWE does not absolutely push her like the biggest female star they've ever had is willfully sticking one's head in the sand and ignoring reality for the sake's of one's opinion. Doesn't matter. Bam Bam was one of 2 people to Main event the only wrestlemania in 1995. So he's the biggest male star. The biggest stars were and always measured by who knows them beyond just marks. And I'd be willing to bet if you asked 100 strangers who the biggest woman wrestling star is they'd either not know or say Chyna.

Upcoming Target Legends waves are gonna save me some money. While I think they're cool/good figures, I just don't really need a Hogan in singlet or from his Japan runs, or the lesser known looks of other characters like Rikishi as Sultan. I will be getting most of the current stuff along with some of the re-release figures as I was pretty young when the line first started. Very excited for Roxanne, Cora, and Grayson. Elite 105 is also a complete set buy for me. Chelsea Green and DC Bayley look good too. Looks like we could see the new World Heavyweight Title by the end of the year or early next year with Rollins being in E109. Gonna assume that's gonna be his cyan/tiger print attire that he won it in. What's going on with the Wrestlemania series Rock? It's got his WM29 attire, WM 28 head, and WWE Title from WM29. I'm trying to figure out which event he wore the brahma bull logo on the front of his trunks.

Are Rey’s horns molded into his head? Weird. I don't really see another way to do the suctioned-cupped devil horns at this scale. Maybe pegs in the head? But they'd probably have to oversize them or make them a singular larger piece because of chocking hazard rules.

Gonna have to go through all this and figure out what’s what. Weird being at work instead of keeping up in real time. I don’t think any of the flashbacks interest me enough to purchase though.

So no more Randy Savage? Who owns his license/image now that Lanny has passed away? That might be it, it could just be a temporary thing until they sort stuff out. I don't know how estate deals work when someone passes.

Bam Bam Bigelow is the biggest male star because he headlined ONE WrestleMania almost 30 years ago? Compared to Becky Lynch who, if she's not the biggest female star of all time, is the biggest in the last 10 years? Come on now.

The cold hard truth is that in same way that fewer people actively care about women’s football or the WNBA, female wrestling is never going to be as popular as mens wrestling.

Charlotte being shoved down everyone’s throat was being rejected by the fans and the Ronda hype was starting to fade. As much as WWE probably wanted them to main event there is no way they coulda let them go on last. Seth going over Brock is what likely closes the show that year if Becky did not catch fire.

So your argument just collapsed on itself.
