During the late 80s multiple guys were over at the same time: Jake Roberts, Jim Duggan, Hulk Hogan, The Hart Foundation, Brutus Beefcake, Randy Savage (heel or face), Ultimate Warrior, Roddy Piper, Demolition.
They all got huge pops.
Why can't the WWE make stars anymore? I listed a bunch of wrestlers, and only two of them were really strong workers (Savage and Bret). Maybe the WWE should stop trying to put guys like AJ and Rollins on top. It doesn't matter if you're a great worker and flip flop high spots. Get a guy (or build someone up) with persona.

Maybe they could have taught him the spear as a finisher. He needed an image and moveset overhaul.

Satan comes in small packages. I think Marty Jannetty would dwarf him Aleister is the same size as Shawn Michaels. I think he'll be fine. Maybe it's because he wears undies and has a child's body that it makes him look snap

Do you think he's strong enough to pick up a guy like Owens or Wyatt?? He landed Zelina Vega, I wholeheartedly believe he can do whatever he wants. That's the power of Satan in his veins. Satan comes in small packages. I think Marty Jannetty would dwarf him

I hated Bigelow going over Boss Man so easily. A clean pin seemed crazy to me

Hey Steve,
I was wondering why the NY Toy Fair isn't a bigger deal for reveals? Is it because it's closed to the public? I have attended twice as a supplier and find the show amazing

They could do well by just releasing Big John Studd with robe and Andre.
Or Savage and Akeem.
Scott Steiner and WCW Bret Hart

I know there was a 5 or 6 pack with all undertaker and all Rey. Is there any chance or would you risk ever putting 2 of the same guy in a 2 pack. Maybe say Like NWO hogan ring gear and a t shirt and jeans one? Or would it just be a bad business strategy It could happen but it’s more likely you’ll see a complementing fig rather than two of the same talent. We can always revisit those second looks as a new offering. Vincent or the Disciple!

Show of hands... ...who wouldn't buy a re-release Elite two pack if the feud represented were Hacksaw Jim Duggan vs. King Harley Race? I would prefer a King Harley Race and King Haku 2 pack. That's a great idea!!!

I feel like any of us can answer this. "If they are under a deal, sure we would look at all of that talent if the market is there for them." The questions about specific figures are getting tiresome. You're pretty critical for someone who tried to white knight others for being critical. I'm just sensitive to repetitive questions being asked. I don't want us to scare Steve away by asking the same questions over and over. I wish people would do a little research before sending in questions.

Did you say the next few sets of elite 2 packs are gonna be flashbacks after joe/rey? He did not. Use the search feature for this thread. I used "2 pack" and found all comments relating to 2 packs. He did not say they will be Legends. In fact, daveyboy asked the same question just ten hours ago, you can read it on the same page you're on now!

I think Humberto has a great look and is solid in the ring. I've only seen him mess up a couple times, but besides that he delivers. But with a guy like Vince having a final say with his direction, that's his downfall(as well as not being able to speak well in promos). If he was in NXT I believe he could find a good spot to thrive. But ESPECIALLY on RAW, he sadly has a cap above him. Which is unfortunate because I really am a fan of him since 205. But I think a lot of people agree that he has potential, but he just needs that "thing" to make himself stand out. What that "thing" is exactly, I have no idea. [/div] [/quote] He looks like a teenager working at your local KFC who just got his shirt ripped off by a drunk patron. A terrible look as a wrestler.

We got a 2001 elite Christian and we getting an brood Christian what the chances of getting mid 99/00 elite Christian maybe Christian in this attire would be good. What the chances of getting elites of crash holly, hardcore holly, acolytes, steve blackman, Albert, test? I feel like any of us can answer this. "If they are under a deal, sure we would look at all of that talent if the market is there for them." The questions about specific figures are getting tiresome.

They seem to be moving around here. Nakamura was starting to back up on the pegs, but over the last week or so he’s been moving as well. Hey PJ, can you rename this thread? AFA had already said this line is not going away. The title creates unnecessary anxiety everytime I log in to the general board!
