What about creating a greatest rivalry multi pack series? Including some enticing names like Hogan might get them sold
Hogan, Savage, DiBiase and Andre?
Demolition and Powers of Pain?
Warrior, Rude, Heenan and Earl Hebner

How many elite Strowman figures have we had? But only one Akeem. Braun is the modern day Akeem, but he's getting way too many figures

It's a little different comparing AEW to WCW. Dean Ambrose is a legitimate star, DDP and Booker T were IC title level guys, not main eventers DDP was world champ in early 1999 when WCW was still very popular (they were on a downward trend, but still massively popular). He wasn’t “IC Title level.” He was a legit star, and the WWF fans reaction when he first revealed himself on Raw proved that. Booker T is a little different scenario. He wasn’t world champ until about 8 months before WCW closed its doors, but he was booked solid for a good portion of this time (besides falling victim to the constant title changes that plagued WCW at the time). He was booked as an equal to Scott Steiner, who was arguably the top heel of either company in the second half of 2000, and got a clean win over Goldberg. And most importantly, he was booked as a serious and smart character throughout his decade in WCW. Fans respected him, and he wasn’t portrayed as the “stereotypical gangster” that Vince straddled him with. Both were seen as main eventers coming into the WWF (DDP moreso than Booker). The problem is that Vince killed any credibility both of them had almost immediately upon their WWF debuts. Give them a clean win over a top WWF guy, even just once, and you portray them both in a totally different light. One legit win by either of them over a top WWF guy would have made them without worrying about weakening the WWF stars. Sorry, these two guys and Steiner were second class stars. Top WCW guys were: Hogan Sting Goldberg Hart Flair Nash Savage Sid and maybe Luger DDP, Booker T, Steiner, Hall, Hennig etc were all a level or two below.

If only Mattel had made a Greg Valentine, all their finical issues would be gone! Seriously, I highly doubt it. But IF Mattel stops making WWE elites, I'm done collecting. Because IMO I'm enjoying collecting now more than ever. And Hasbro, LJN, Jakks, all fail in comparison. **** that. With the streak Hasbro has been on the past few years, I have no doubt they'd surpass Mattel easily, and it's not like they would just make figures like the old Hasbro line. Hell, their face printing alone is on a whole other level compared to Mattel, not to mention their quality and articulation scheme. Mattel figures feel like figures from before the Toy Biz era. As long as Hasbro make them in scale with Mattel and the same ab crunch I'll be happy

It would be hilarious if they were going out of business and then Bill released all of our wants like Bulldogs, Hercules, Valentine, Koko etc

Imagine how many wrestlers would be on a poster of it was 98-08? They started giving the belt to everyone. well in the time frame 98-00 they had 10 champs.....man oh man. But it seemed to work? HBK Stone Cold Kane Rock Foley Undertaker HHH Vince McMahon...…… Big Show Kurt Angle I agree with you on that other than Kane and Big Show, neither needed the belt. After that there's all sorts... Eddie Guerrero, Edge, Cena, Orton, Brock, Jericho, JBL, RVD, Hardy and that's only the guys to win it for the first time. Triple H, Angle, Hogan and others all had reigns in there as well.

Think so? Bret had to sit in a crouched position, hold someone's legs, and sell for a few seconds. All HBK has to do is a face kick. The person taking the kick has a harder job. They have to sell the kick and do a bump, by themselves. Hbks job is all of 2 seconds with that move. I was poking fun of Goldberg's kick that connected with Bret, but that's not really a sweet chin music I guess

I hate HBK, but if I was a wrestler I'd want to do the super kick as well. It requires the least amount of physical effort and is the one move that is least likely to cause you personal harm. [br Bret Hart disagrees

Fake Diesel looks awesome. I wonder if we'll get fake Razor as well? Haha, wonderful. People have been clamoring for this figure, and it's one of the worst figures created other than Bret Hart (looks like he is having a stroke)

I just hope we get Gorilla still somehow. Might have to ask a trucker uncle to keep an eye out You still got me. However, screw Walmart and screw Mattel. Time for another toy company to get the WWE rights
