I thought Billy Gunn was the last figure in Legends 25 and Muta was the first figure shown for 26. Isn't Billy in the set with Kurt Angle, Carlito, and Godfather? Tbh I’m not sure. It’s all a whirlwind to me lol. Which set is coming after the upcoming hogan/farooq/anvil set? Is it angle/carlito/godfather? Or is it Bret/rude/bradshaw/sid (great set btw) Yeah, lost count. Looks like the Bret/WCW Rude/Bradshaw/Sid wave (25) is after the Hogan/Farooq/Anvil/Angle wave (24). I thought that Billy Gunn was going to be in the Angle/Carlito/Godfather wave (26???), and Muta would be in the next wave (27???). But Angle, Carlito, and the Godfather were shown on the same slide, while Billy Gunn and Muta were shown on a different slide. So Maybe Gunn and Muta are in the same wave (27???) and they didn't show the 4th figure in the Angle/Carlito/Godfather wave (26???). Makes me miss the WWE.com images they would show for figure releases, they almost always included the series/wave the figures would be in. |

We getting any Randy Savage this year? I kind of feel like they NEED some big announcement(s) today.... While the showings thus far have been phenomenal, there is a distinct lack of "New" or "Returning" names here - it's a lot of the same names we've been getting already. While the showing so far has been great - If they don't roll out at least 2-3 big "new" or "returning" names today, I think a lot of the collectors are going to view the showing as a disappointment. But so far we've only seen the preview, so let's see what they show on the Panel! Macho Man and Jesse Ventura would have been exciting announcements. |

Those two would make a great Coliseum Collection set. |

Will they add managers to the line? Obviously, Macho and Liz make the most sense, but if they aren't going to add managers to the line, then Macho and Jesse would go great together. |

An LJN Macho with an added robe and proper dark skin tone would do good numbers. After all, the cream always rises to the top. |

I will use my mind powers to make it not sell if it’s macho and jesse no one wants jesse but his 5 fans, and that’s being generous. I’m just playing around but for real Macho and Liz would be awesome, especially if they could somehow make it a 2 in 1 of ring/manager gear and wedding attire |

After all, the cream always rises to the top. Yeah, I kind of disagree with Steve about that. I think people who are buying these figures wouldn't care that much if a manager was made. Maybe a set of managers wouldn't sell, but if you put the manager with the right wrestler, I think it would do fine. A Macho/Liz, Andre/Heenan or Hercules/Hercules, Sheik/Blassie, OMG/Slick, etc. would do fine. Since these are only twice a year, you're not asking the fan base to spend enormous amounts of sums. Also, for most managers, this would be the only chance at getting them as an Ultimate Edition figure. |

If Macho ever is back under a deal then this better be what they do. Give Liz a mini LJN of herself and Savage with this robe and his figures printed on the inside.  |

To be fair, don’t you rewatch or talk about those events a lot more often? Five years ago would have been Lynch vs Flair vs Rousey just for the record. I get where you’re coming from, I just like being fair in my discussions. I don't know if I understand your point.... Yeah, I probably watched the early Wrestlemanias multiple times..... and I probably watched the last 20 Wrestlemanias only once.... I think it's apples to oranges though; Back then - 4 PPV's a year, they hyped them for 3 months, we were psyched & thought they were the biggest events of all time.... These days - 12 "PLE's" a year, + 3-hour Weekly RAW, + 3-hour Weekly Smackdown, + 5-6 hours of AEW programming (if you're into that), + more..... I guess it just seems like there was more importance ("Big Time Feel") placed on the events of yesteryear and today we roll through them at a rapid pace - and I'm not even saying the "old way" was better, it's just different. Add to that your original - excellent point about McMahon not "creating" new Mega Stars during the 2000's...... and what are we left with? Hundreds of hours of programming each year and a lot of guys never stand out from the crowd, lost in the shuffle. I was qualifying contributing factors to why you would remember the first manias rather than more recent stuff because I’m weird and overly committed to being rational. You’re absolutely right that there was more emphasis placed on shows back in the day, and I think that’s exactly why WWE is trying to keep PLEs simple now. |

The fact they don't have Macho Man after all these years is beyond disappointing. Sadly they weren't putting out the Macho stuff fans on here wanted most like his Halloween Havoc outfit among others.

Is this really Vince's fault, though? First - these were huge oversized characters that don't work as well today. As I write that, I think of gimmicks like Cryme Tyme that would still be memorable -- but they are definitely rarer. And today those wouldn't work as well. Two -- as people said, there was a lot less content. So combined with more prominence, and those BIG colorful characters, you see why they stand out more. But if you put those big colorful characters out today, people would complain. Timeless Toni Storm is incredible -- but i don't think she'd leave the same impression as a Brutus Beefcake, Jake the Snake, or Million Dollar Man. Three -- these guys weren't really booked well. You never took them seriously as winning the main event -- they lost often -- but you still *loved* them. So I don't know we need to blame the booking... Some of these more modern guys have been employed in the company for 1-2 decades and left less of an impression than 80-90s workers who only had a few years. I always think of the comparison between nattie and her father. Jim’s original HF run was about 7 years, he wasn’t even a main eventer but there’s still more to talk about in his career than Nattie’s almost 20 year wwe career. I agree with that, but how much of that is because of Vince and not the differences between Nattie and her dad? Jim wasn't booked particularly well -- he was just a much more memorable character, in a time where there was a lot less content and less wrestlers coming and going than across 3 different brands of WWE... |

He was also half of the absolute best tag team in WWF history. In all honesty though, those guys were on network television, that is incredible exposure. They had exposure back then that wrestlers today could only dream of having. |
