Hi Steve, without naming any names, are there Legends that push Mattel to have figures of themselves made? I know Hercules' family have mentioned it and thought it would be an interesting situation to be willing at a company with talent trying to convince you to make a figure. Eg, I'd find it such a weird situation to have some of my childhood heros contacting me to make a figure!

I hated all the interference going on in WCW and WWF. Every finish had cheating or interference of some sort. That's what turned me off wrestling.
I stopped watching in 99.

Hoping it has Savage, Warrior, Hitman or HBK in them... hell maybe all of them. I'd like Hitman vs HBK, but we just had ultimate editions of both. My guesses are: - Hogan vs Warrior, Royal Rumble 1990 - Jericho vs Angle, Rebellion 2001 - Savage vs Roberts, This Tuesday in Texas - Austin vs Rock, either WrestleMania - Undertaker vs Mankind, Hell in a Cell

Terrible body, terrible look, no English and ring work is all theatrics and kicks. His theme song and entrance are the best things about him. Like Bobby Roode Iβm not arguing lol. But he was a lot better before he went to WWE Same here, no fighting from me. I was just putting the icing on your statement! I may have used too much flavor in the icing haha

Agreed. And a trash wrestler In WWE yeah; if he was still performing at his New Japan level those figures would sell but alas heβs taken the Hulk Hogan approach to American wrestling Terrible body, terrible look, no English and ring work is all theatrics and kicks. His theme song and entrance are the best things about him. Like Bobby Roode

This line was moving pretty well in my area until Nakamura hit the pegs. Now nothing is moving. He's had way too many releases in the last 2 years. Agreed. And a trash wrestler

Hogan, Sid, Flair, Savage in a fatal four way.
Sid is outside the ring after Savage hit him with a chair. Hogan is in the figure four, Savage goes to the top rope, looks like he is going to land the flying elbow on Flair, but gets down, runs to the other turnbuckle and hits Hogan with a flying elbow, then pins him.
Savage becomes champ. Hogan leaves the company. Sid leaves the company. Flair unsuccessfully challenges Savage once, is then beaten by Bret Hart for a number one contender match.
Hart goes on to feud with Savage for the belt.

I actually liked Brock's performance. That massive clothesline was epic. He can be a great worker when he wants to be.
Amazing Rumble. It's top five for me, and I really don't enjoy modern wrestling that much.

So...who would win a Royal Rumble that consists of every Royal Rumble winner ever!? I'm gonna pick Stone Cold Steve Austin. I'll give it to Yoko

Sadly benoit will never be made so rumble winners will never happen also the msg house show rumble that owen hart won Why use the word "sadly" I for one am happy there are no Benoit figures to be made. Unless you mean sadly, as in what happened was sad.

he would've gotten ran over by the nwo and sizzled out, that's sadly the only real way i see it going. wcw was politically locked - it went from flair being on top to hogan, and there was never really room for anyone else than sting to emerge in that environment. we at least maybe would've gotten some good rude feuds, vader and maybe even cactus. NWO weren't around in 1992

I really feel like this thread is getting de-railed, and turning into just a "can you make ________" people on here posting in this thread need to understand some things: - Just because you're working for the WWE doesn't mean you can have a figure made (backstage talent, refs, etc) - Mattel isn't going to spoil any upcoming new characters in this thread, they want to save that kind of thing for their actual "reveals" at events like ToyFair, or when they put out the promo pics for the sets. - There is a massive amount of former superstars who are just not going to get elites, there are a million reasons why but it's not Mattel just being "lazy" or whatever you might think. The WWE approves every. single. thing. Mattel does. - No matter how many times anyone asks for that random star from the 90's, if they are not signed to a Legends/Merch deal, they aren't getting made, and the answer will always be the same "if they become available, we will look into it" and I'm pretty sure we all can figure out who has Legends deals, and if we dont? we find out at the Toyfairs & Comiccons with their great reveals - AFA Steve does not work for Walmart or Target and doesn't manage their inventory - I'm pretty sure if it was up to Bill, Steve, etc. they would make elites of every single guy/gal ever. But there's a lot more to it than just one of us asking and saying we would like it. Amen to that!!!
