This new line is already up there with the Coliseum Collection for me personally so I'm curious, how do you feel about this concept and what are some releases you'd like to see down the line?
I'm thinking
Stan Hansen vs Bruno Sammartino/Ric Flair Vs Buddy Rogers
Terry Funk vs Dusty Rhodes Bunkhouse match/Ivan Koloff vs Bruno Sammartino The Night The Garden Fell Silent
Roddy Piper vs Greg Valentine Dog Collar Match/Jerry Lawler vs Terry Funk, Austin Idol, or Andy Kaufman
The Midnight Express vs The Rock N Roll Express Staircase/Great American Bash 87
The Fabulous Freebirds Micheal P.S Hayes, Buddy Roberts, and Terry Gordy, for the 4th figure either do JYD or Jimmy Garvin
Antonino Rocca and Miguel Perez/Jerry and Luke Graham
The Funks vs Brody and Hansen
Stu Hart, Bob Orton Sr, Dory Funk Sr, Angelo Poffo as a legacy pack
Kevin Sullivan and the Army of Darkness (Purple Haze, Luna Vachon, and The Lock)
David, Kerry, Kevin and Fritz Von Erich
Ox Baker vs Ernie Ladd/Freddie Blassie vs Rikidozan
Some other names id like to see in this line but don't know a perfect pack to make them a part of

Buddy Landel
Terry Taylor
Dutch Mantel
Dr Death Steve Williams

Ric and Buddy would be a nice set, but I would rather have prime NWA/WWWF Champion Buddy.
Sets I wouldn't mind:
Bruno Sammartino / Buddy Rogers
Bruno Sammartino / Ivan Koloff
Superstar Billy Graham / Bruno Sammartino or Ivan Putski or Peter Maivia
Nick Bockwikel / Hulk Hogan - AWA title match
Ric Flair / Kerry Von Erich - NWA Title match (or David Von Erich)
Tully Blanchard / Magnum TA - NWA TV title match
Jerry Lawler / Andy Kaufman - First match together
Jerry Lawler / Randy Savagae - Memphis Wrestling
Bret Hart / Dynamite Kid - Stampede Wrestling
Sgt. Slaughter / Pat Patterson - Alley Fight
Sting / Great Muta - NJPW Showdown 1992

If this series gets me Mulligan and Lanza, it'll be the best series Mattel ever did.

Stu Hart, Bob Orton Sr, Dory Funk Sr, Angelo Poffo as a legacy pack I think the family idea would be a great subline on its own with Mattel Creations. I think The Rock/Rocky Johnson/High Chief 3/pack would've been perfect way to start off a family subline on Mattel Creations. Stu Hart (1950s), Bret Hart, Jim Neidhart, Natalya Bob Orton, Sr, "Cowboy" Bob Orton, & Randy Orton Dory Sr, Dory Jr, & Terry Funk Angelo Poffo, Lanny Poffo, & Randy Savage The Von Erich family Ric Flair & Charlotte Dusty Rhodes, "The Natural" Dustin Rhodes, & Cody Rhodes Honky Tonk Man, Jerry Lawler, & Brian Christopher The Guerrero Family Blackjack Mulligan, The U.S Express, & Bray Wyatt The Steiners & Bron Breakker Larry Hennig, Curt Hennig, & Curtis Axel etc |

I'd be completely on board with it, I think they'd probably be the only shot at some of the first gen names like Larry Hennig and Angelo Poffo |

Maybe they could make it a two in one kind of thing? Soft goods shirt and jeans with an alternate head and wrestling gear underneath |

I'd love for them to do a Jose Lothario that way. |

We really need a 4 pack of von erichs, I feel the movie iron claw gave them some current steam. I really want a Kerry elite since I missed out on his first legends figures. I didn't get back into collecting until a few years later :/
