I would have been pissed off they fed Rude to Hogan. I can't stand Hogan and the Hulk up, block punch, three punches, big boot, leg drop combo. I would have loved it if Rude went back to WWE. Worked as a heel against Hart, Austin, Taker etc. Those matches would have been much better than anything wcw chorus put on. Terrible booking at WCW , for sure on rather him being in wwf instead. but either way he woulda gave us some great matches. like vader beats micheals for belt at SS96, like he shoulda, then rude comes back and does EXACTLY what he did in wcw and attack him with a chair and restarts the fued. That would have been great. Rude deserved a run as champ

Why? What does this gain? You have tons of better talent sitting in catering week after week. Plus, NXT is now on cable TV with the goal (I assume) of getting the viewers more familiar with the names of the WWE future. Unless it’s to help put over some younger talent, this seems pointless. Morrison is not Jenetty Most of the roster are Marty Jannetty.

That Big Show is easily one of the worst figures I have ever seen

He didn't need to be champion. The Godfather gimmick was over like crazy. Found Bruce Pritchard

Yes, if they wanted to destroy the WWF/WWE brand

someone from Mattel needs to sit down with WWE corporate and tell them "look, there's like _____ guys employed by you, that used to be wrestlers or TV personalities. we really need to be able to make figures of these guys so lets work this out" just my 2 cents Ahhhh.....that’s what I’m doing wrong. Thank you. I’ll try this. 😂 Haha. It's so easy. I'm in sales and it is the equivalent of someone telling me, why don't you just sign this company to a deal... answer, the company doesn't need my company's services or a bunch of other reasons. Side note question, I worked for a very large warehousing and fulfillment company 2 years ago. We were working on a deal to fulfill ecommerce orders for Mattel shop USA and Canada. Wondering if Mattel shop will ever come back?

No more Elite 76 info to share at the moment. If we get rights to Barbarian, we’ll make it work. It’d be really cool to have a fig of Trent. Mattel making Barbarian would be epic! Barbarian and Warlord (Powers of Pain) would be easier deco wise.

Who are the remaining headliners for the Hall of Fame in the next decade? The Rock John Cena Batista CM Punk Daniel Bryan Randy Orton NWO? Triple H Undertaker Rey Mysterio And by then, there’ll be the Shield guys, Owens, Becky, Charlotte etc. If nobody else on the list wants it next year, I could see it being Punk. I feel like Batista will be the one though. Sheamus, Big Show, AJ Styles?

Now this should be on the Classic board. But I feel it wasn’t the booking team, but his fear of Vince. I think between the MSJ and Owen’s refusal of working the program with Debra he felt he had to do it. Of course there’s no way to know what was on Owen’s mind, but that’s what I think. All I know is after hearing about the full background of the whole situation I felt sick to my stomach and almost didn't want to watch and wanted to sell my impossible to get floor tickets to the July '99 Raw in Cleveland. He should still be alive today. He should have been up on that stage for the Hall of Fame in the last 10 or so years. We should have had CS figures, We should have had Legends figures. The Owen Hart DVD should have had him doing an introspective interview and match introductions. He should have wrestled Kurt, Jericho, Benoit, Eddie, Angle. Oje should be a prominent player on WWE tv right now. So much was robbed of the fan...but SO SO SO SO MUCH MORE was robbed of the family. I agree with all of this. Oje has a great look as a modern day wrestler. Owen vs Angle would have been great. We missed Bret vs Angle, this would have been a great replacement. Bret is one of my favorite wrestlers ever, but I detest how he speaks of Martha. I hate how fans have made her out to be some sort of bad person. The WWE killed her husband with negligence/stupidity. She has a right to be angry for the rest of her life. In terms of wrestling figures and the HOF, I think the only way it happens is if Vince donates any profit from Owen's involvement directly to Owen's Foundation. WWE needs to come to the party in a big way to repair. Bret also needs to stop saying nasty things about Martha. I think if Bret, Triple H, Austin and Mark Henry worked together with Vince, they could get Martha onboard.

Even better if they made that Hogan V Warrior two pack with a similiar background. It would be awesome to have some grudge match 2 packs with specific artwork from their promo images Flair vs Steamboat WCW 2 pack. Nice! Austin vs Rude DDP vs Savage Roberts vs Rude Dusty vs Macho King Jake vs Savage Michaels vs Jannetty both in street gear!

Well, can you imagine Macho Man retweeting some gif of Hogan lusting after Elizabeth? Entirely different world back then and it was probably for the best. Haha, amazing! I think Ric Flair would have excelled with social media. Same with DX

Ok thank you for answering my question. I have 2 follow questions. Was there any thought given to making the hall of champions warrior that came out a few years ago, with the yellow intercontinental belt ? Could this belt be included in the next rsc exclusive belt pack/set ? I mean you and bill mentioned that you know there is demand for this particular belt in a q&a rsc video. I think it would be a home run to finally make this belt and find a "spot" for it. I’m glad it wasn’t on hall of champions Warrior since he wasn’t IC champion or even heavyweight champ when he wore that attire for a promo. I’m thinking this would be the perfect attire for the yellow belt release. It’s such an iconic poster: What do you think Steve 👍 or 👎 ?? Once Hogan is available again, this would be an amazing two pack

WCW - Sting and the Road Warriors are the final survivors. WCW - comes down to Sting and Warrior with Sting surviving. WWF - Hogan wins because team WCW turns on Sting. I agree with this. That first WCW team is insane

For those of you wishing for Paul Roma... check his last podcast with Sean Mooney. He will need to do some relationship repair with Vince. He didn't come off well at all.
