It sucks, but I think they're done. They put so much more into MOTU and picked better wrestlers. Where was Jake in the retro line? People have wanted a heel Jake hasbro for like 30 years. Roddy in blue trunks and Mr. T also would have been huge for retros. I don't really think they sabotaged the retro line, but whoever was the head of the line had no clue what they were doing. The proof is in the pudding. The choices for the wrestlers in the retro line ups and the attires (stuff like NWO Macho Man instead of the long tights Macho King) are a dead give away for someone who shouldn't have been in charge. Hopefully they show something in the next few days. But get somebody who has a clue at the top of this line next time please. It doesn't take a mental giant to understand that you don't wait until the line is dead in the water to finally decide to put in Diesel. Yeah, I've said it before, but guys like King Mabel, Jerry Lawler, USA Lex maybe even King Kong Bundy since he made a return around that time...any one of them I would have put in place of guys like Sami Zayn and Sheamus.🙄

Great show tonight, even though I'm sure Cornette will still find stuff to hate about it besides MJF. lol The whole show had an energy right off the bat.
The only thing that brought it down a notch for me was the woman's match. Where is Abadon at?? I think they should have just given her a squash match tonight or at least had her come down and attack after the match to add something more to it.

Mine got in none of Series 9 or ten at all. Just the sets I already paid regular price for at Target. 😏 lol...I haven't seen any there anymore but hopefully if we don't get locked down again by Christmas they'll maybe get some in again if there's any left at all. Are these still showing up at 5 Below or anywhere? It always irritated me when others were finding the later sets my store got Zack Ryder & Strowman. The year before my store got Series 3 when others were finding the later sets.

If it said WCW on the rings and more importantly it had a roof i would be all in on it. Hell, I have more than two WCW basic rings already. But the lack of a roof = no purchase by me. It’s cool for the kids, but if I can’t display Sid pressing Pillman into the roof it serves no purpose me. Also I find it funny their promotional pics don’t use the “wreckin” figures with it. If this turns out to be a big hit seller maybe they'll slap a roof on it and some new stickers/ ropes and re- release it as a classic WCW version.😉

I was hoping last night at NXT Takeover we would have maybe gotten a surprise commercial for the Retro line done like the old Macho Man ones. But I guess that wasn't even considered since they aren't making or promoting them anymore. 😒 But hey, there was an ICOPRO spot so why not?? lol

Nobody is going to bring up how in poor taste it was to have Matt Hardy “drowned” and show his body floating lifeless in the pool after they opened the show with RIP SHAD...? No? But WWE was wrong for the hanging segment in the gym with Orton/Edge? Otherwise, it was a decent show, I dug the ladder match even though there was a tremendous number of slip ups. Gave me something to do on a Saturday night for 4 hours I guess... Yeah, another case of something being taped ahead of time that they could have cut. At the least just cut the dead man's float...I thought it was stupid anyway that they were actually trying to commit murder and drown him, but I mean, with all the craziness going on anyway you just roll with it and laugh I guess. 🥴 lol

So why didn't Matt Hardy just teleport to the field to save Kenny?? 😉

Ronda leaves to start a family and Becky is the one to get pregnant. Becky one ups her yet again. lol Abortion kit on a pole match? Whoever retrieves it gets to use it on her opponent? We should have had Vince Russo make a cameo last night too at Titan Towers sighing his new deal if that ends up happening. lol

Isn't the hacker obviously Ali? It's his light ring. It looks to be that way but don't forget this is WWE. I wouldn't be surprised if they still have no idea where to go with it. Then they'll eventually reveal it to be Braun's former tag partner Nicholas and he'll run off scared, never to be mentioned again.

Got the whole set this week! For anyone that wondered what Popeye would look like cosplaying as WWE Superstars. 😉 lol.... Really interesting little figures though. I think Undertaker is the best looking sculpt. Thanks for the pics!

We need the He-Man line to end to have any hope at retros returning and I have no clue how that line is doing. I’ve never even seen them in a store. I hate that it's come down to that since they did a really cool job on the Masters Of The WWE Universe line too. A shame they can't just have the two Retro lines going at once...Maybe since they cancelled or postponed or whatever that new He-Man movie it might move them away from the WWE versions now.

Now that Hulk is back in the line, I think retros will be back next year. I wouldn't be surprised if they were an exclusive somewhere since that seems to be all the rage lately. There just seems to be too much demand for them not to exist somehow. Hopefully Mattel is paying attention and caters to the old school fan base if these come back. They are called RETROS for a reason. They should be focusing on wrestlers like Diesel who fill in the gaps of our hasbro collections. Limit modern guys to one figure per series. No "retro" series should ever contain 3 New Day figures and one Macho Man, for example. it should be the opposite. I know of at least a few people personally that were very interested in retros when they were first announced, but were instantly turned off by seeing modern guys dominate the early series. If they have to go store exclusive again, the best thing I think they could do and what I'd love to see is them being Five Below exclusive. It's perfect to get them there at the more retro price like the old Hasbro days. lol Even if it's just a bunch of repaints-God knows there are enough figures that people missed out on that they'd like the chance to get again.
