Jakks Classic Superstars were great for their time but they didnt really age well. The balloon heads. Oversized arms. Lazy/half assed parts choices....Sure they dove deeper into the well getting us guys like Johnny Rodz or Spark Plug Holly.....but I think the vast majority of us would trade names like Rodz or figures that came out looking like the Big Bossman did for Kerry Von Erich, Ricky Steamboat and a properly scaled Bossman.
As for exclusives....I much prefer the availability of what Mattel is doing. There were some great exclusives that Jakks did but Jeremy was too concerned trying to create something for the deep pockets collectors for the secondary market and not the hardcore collectors.

As I continue my exclusive quest to find a Yokozuna in the wild I had an unfortunate experience. I was at a near by Target when I saw one of their workers putting out merchandise in the toy dept. I took a chance and asked the guy if the Mattel boxes on his cart had any Ultimate Yokozuna figures. The guy turned around and said " look, I'm tired of hearing about this Yokozuna toy, if it's not on the shelf we don't have it". I was stunned at his rude response but having worked retail myself in the past just chalked it up to him having a bad day. Anywho, any of you guys had similar experiences asking retail employees about their stock? Throw salt in his eyes. As he's withering around on the ground, search through his cart. If he has Yoko head to the checkout. If he doesnt, give him the Banzi Drop and tell him that's from Mr Fuji and the great country of Japan.

Series 2 has been the most ridiculous set to find. Usually between me, my brother, PJ and Ebay....I can piece a set together but everything is drier than the golden girls....even the secondary market. If I didn't luck up and find the triple H already I'd swear these things weren't even real.

PJ will hate me for saying this but Paul Orndorff.
I don't really count special attraction guys like LT or Mr T....I hate Miz but at the time he was a fantastic heel. But to me Orndorff just never did anything in WWF. Like literally at no point. He lost seemingly every major fued and never won a title.
I think Orndorff run in WCW was light years better then his time in WWF.

Personally I've thought her injury was a a work the whole time. Theres simply not anyone on her level. What can you do at that point? Just feed her mid card lifers and water down her run? Take her out of the picture and throw a bunch of crap at the wall and hope something sticks.
She'll come back and squash Liv to get her belt back, which we all knew Liv is just a transitional champion. Hopefully by then they have someone ready to be a top name that can roll into a late 24/early 25 storyline before she goes into her next Mania feud.

WCW was always my #1 choice. I watched WWF also so once wcw closed I didn't have to be loyal to the brand or anything I just watched WWF. I enjoyed early NWA-TNA at the Nashville Fairgrounds but once it moved to Orlando I lost interest. I watched a little when Hogan & Bischoff took over as it gave it a more WCW like feel but it didn't last.
ROH was spotty so never got into it cause I could never find it on tv. I've tried giving AEW like 20 opportunities to win me over but they just fail every time.
I still to this day watch a lot of NWA & WCW on the network. I'm currently re-watching the nWo Nitro run. Any time I get the chance to meet up with Ricky Steamboat I like to pick his brain on NWA-WCW stuff. It was probably by far my favorite "era" in wrestling.

I doubt it. It would make a cool looking figure, not something I'd particularly would want but WWE doesn't seem to be too keen on Gangrel.

Hate seeing the news about SHR...Tony was my favorite driver and when he retired I tried to stick with the team but it was just one mediocre driver after another (outside of Harvick). I also think the switch a few years ago to Ford wasnt for the better. Unless you're a Penske car I dont think you get the full "love" from Ford.

Is there a reason they're using the old ring posts & not the HD ones? Setup didn't get back from Saudi in time? lol would be hilarious Im guessing its cause there's a cage match. They still havent figure out how to hook the cage to HD setup
