Hope this is a true. If so I want them to open back up in the mall near me. I miss going in there. Hopefully if they do they will sell WWE Figures and fill the exclusive void left by Toys R Us.

Right now I feel like the first 3 in the set are great. They have limitations and putting top sellers is what is going to help. First time in the line is great every now and then to revive a set or even grow anticipation. I would say maybe putting an attire out that is a big want would be a bigger deal than getting a first time in the line. Plus most of the epic moments involve guys who already have figures. Try to think of an Epic Moment in WWE Standards without a person involved that isn't signed or have never had a Mattel figure.
I don't see them warming the shelves yet. Mainly because I haven't even seen them in stores. Are they even suppose to be in stores?

History has just been made. UMBC defeated Virginia by 20. First 16 seed to ever beat a 1. 1-135 record for 16 seeds. Does anybody know what UMBC stands for? Everybody will know now because they are going to go down in history.
Side note- I always figured Virginia during this era is always a candidate for this historic upset. Never have enough offense and they lost a top bench player who was a good part of their offense. It was set up for them to lose. I never had them making it out of the second round in the last several years they were a top seed.

Pretty sure you can find something bad about most athletes and probably most regular people too. Whether or not they are true the stories still stick with you.

Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker. Quite possibly the best Wrestlemania match, The Undertaker's best match, and was filled with false finishes. First time in a long time I thought Undertaker could lose and started a series of great Undertaker WM matches.

My son has a square table in his room just large enough for an asr. Underneath the table is a bucket with about 80-100 figures mostly without accessories. The accessories I put in a gallon size ziplock bag and safely kept not for play. That's what my set up is but I have another table under that with the second ring. And then under it I have everything crammed in and I have figures in the ring. I have 3 duffel bags with them. I have 10+ bags of accessories. I have the shark cage, 5 announce tables, caskets, entrance, GM office, and etc.

I need something better to store my rings and action figures/accessories. Right now I have a huge table crammed full of figures/rings/baggies filled with accessories. I need something to safely store my two rings and have room under for about 200+ WWE Figures and a ton of accessories. Anything would be better than I have now. I'm interested to see how other people who don't have a lot of room, but can't really stop buying them all.

Probably because they were different characters and back then something like that was more protected keeping with Kayfabe. If they did that I think Cactus Jack, Mankind, and Dude Love should have made it in 1997. They totally wasn't the same person they all three competed at the same Royal Rumble. Glad to know they have made the mistake once again, and I guess through more research the identity of The Super Invader was pretty under wraps as many didn't know it was Hercules for a few years. I figured the PWI guys and the insiders would have figured it out, but I guess not.

In 1992 for whatever reason the same guy made the list as two different characters. Hercules came in on the list at #141, but that year he also wrestled as The Super Invader who was ranked #90.
How does the same guy get two different rankings? Was his identity so secret that not even the PWI could figure out it was the same person? Has this ever happened again?
I've been doing some research on the PWI as I made a mod for a wrestling game. Thought I would share this maybe one of you all know that it was somebody else under the mask or if they just really made that mistake. Thanks for any help.

Has anybody else played this PC game? You can buy the download from Greydog Software. You can find mods and play many of the most popular eras in wrestling. I've had a blast playing it and wanted to share it with all of you. If anybody else has played it please tell me about your experiences. They even have a forum where you can post your results and get feedback. It's really fun. I've seen several people on youtube playing it's just like booking the territory and you get to control everything. It's like a GM mode but it's for every wrestling company and all the well-known wrestlers around the world are in it. I've found it to be great and wanted to let you all know about it.

I want to see what you think would have happened if Andre said he wasn't going to lose. Or if during the match Andre just decided to beat Hogan swerving everybody to win the WWF World Championship. What do you think would have happened and how things would have changed during that time period?

I think several big men could have played the role. Nash was a good one, but unlikely. I think Danny Spivey would have been a logical pick, but he was injury prone. I think Mark got the role over and it stuck. If somebody else played it, it could be listed as one of those awful gimmicks from that time period. Also, I believe Hogan was the one who liked him due him being in the movie with Hogan. He already had several great reviews from guys like Dutch, but it could have easily been scrapped when he had that low point where he kept losing to Sid and Warrior could have put a nail in the coffin, but he turned face and he really took off after that.

I watch Fox Sports 1 all the time I heard Colin talking about going to Smackdown you could see him in the crowd. He took pictures with some of the divas. You can tell he is a company man, because he was always vocal about how much he hated it. Now he loves it and is talking about Gronk not being cut out for it. It's a total 360, but it seems like they are trying to get everybody into WWE. They would also be great for the impending return of the XFL. Fox Sports 1 and 2 could air games. It seems like a good business deal, but sad that they would leave USA Network. I wonder how Disney will impact it because they bought Fox, but unsure how it all works because I know ESPN has been covering Rhonda Rousey's WWE Debut and Wrestlemania. I feel like if that move helps it and you can get Raw on a 2 hour primetime slot on Fox from 8 to 10 or the old slot of 9 to 11 it would be great. Got to make sure you leave the run over so I can see it being 9 to 11 not to mess with any popular shows that could air after. Fox Sports 1 gets Smackdown. I don't know how it's going to effect the sports Fox covers on Fox Sports. They would lose UFC so I could see some other WWE programming coming on since all they show is UFC/Nascar/Soccer so that could be great. It would be interesting to see.

I remember when I found my Kamala. It was from the original line up. I found it at a Family Dollar. Good find though and I love finding Elites at Big Lots for the 10 dollar deal so much better than 20.

Crush

A back injury was the reason he was written off television. I guess the way they did it they figured he would turn heel to get revenge on Savage not helping him. I don't think they ever saw him as a main eventer despite his size and fan reaction. When he returned the only other think was to come back for Yokozuna, but they would have had the feud happen either at Survivor Series or Royal Rumble. One problem, that's when Lex Luger/The Undertaker was feuding with Yokozuna. I think most people who watched the product or knew who would draw Crush and Yokozuna would have never drew big money. The Undertaker was a better fit while Crush was good enough and gave Savage something to do since he always wanted to wrestle. If he wasn't injured I could have seen them with a side feud as Yokozuna got ready to face Lex Luger, but that match would have never made a PPV.

They’re scalping their own exclusive. That’s a new low Just by a few bucks and it's showing up in stock on their actual site if you don't want to pay their scalping price.

I know most of you were upset that you can't find the Hardy Boyz WWE Shop exclusive, but WWE Shop as a store on the Bay where you can get it. Go check it out. If you click on the link it says that it's a WWE Shop and FYE exclusive. So check your FYEs I plan on trying to go to mind today. If anybody finds it at their FYEs post it here. Hope this helps all the bummed out people who missed out on them.

Bob Backlund wins the title the same way at Survivor Series 1994.
Monday Night Raw two weeks later - Bob Backlund/Owen Hart vs. British Bulldog/Bret Hart. Owen gets the victory over Bulldog.
Royal Rumble - Bob Backlund vs. Bret Hart. Bret Hart wins the title. Owen Hart wins the Royal Rumble.
Monday Night Raw - Bret Hart vs. Bob Backlund. Bret retains. Owen attacks.
Backlund is paired with Owen leading into Wrestlemania trying to hurt Bret.
