Good. Hopefully they replace him with someone we need, like Haku or Harley Race

Rude beats Warrior for the heavyweight championship at SummerSlam in the cage. What happens next? You'd have to assume Rude drops the title to Hogan, probably at WM7. Warrior probably moves on to a feud with Earthquake since, without the extended run with the title, we might not get the Warrior/Savage angle. Good luck on gorilla pressing earthquake haha

I'm on the second page and no mention of: Powers of Pain Singles run Barbarian Ken Patera Koko B Ware Mr Fuji Repo Man Kona Crush Evil Crush Bad News Brown The Genius Slick One Man Gang Outlaw Ron Bass Adrian Adonis Mr T Boris Zhukov Brooklyn Brawler Zeus Sapphire Dustin Rhodes Killer Bees British Bulldogs Of those, we've gotten figures of everyone except Sapphire, Zhukov, and Slick, I believe. I thought it was Mattel figures. This is the Mattel board after all.

Making fun of someone for losing their job and spending $40k+ on figures is pathetic.
I have probably spend around $15k-$20k on figures through 4 different collections. I make between $130k-$200k a year friending on commission. I have a young family, house etc.
Ryder probably makes 4x me and will no doubt have someone managing investments etc. $40k will not hurt him like it would the rest of us. Regardless, stop making fun of someone that just had their dream broken. Sometimes you guys are so disappointing.

I think we will see a Mr To and Hulk Hogan two pack. Mr T is signed to some sort of deal. He's a playable character in the WWE licenced Android game as well as Hogan

Looking back, I'd chock 1993 as a failure in the title picture as it didn't work with Lex Luger. To stay on topic though, had they had Bret beat Yoko, say at Summerslam and built Mr Perfect as wanting revenge on Bret for his King of the Ring loss then I could have totally seen that match headlining Wrestlemania 10, but give Owen a role in Brets defeat and then that feud would have started and then you would build Mr Perfects title reign from there. I love the idea of Owen costing Bret the championship vs Mr Perfect

I would've loved that.
DiBiase, Rude and Perfect all should have had runs

Had he stuck around, i'd say he would have been World Champ at least once within the next 2-3 years. I could have seen him beating HBK or Bret for the belt. Or if they put it on Luger.

Was there any consideration to have Razor as the champ? I haven't read anything before but he was a great heel when he debuted. I only know of his match with Bret Hart but he also main evented with Savage, Flair and Perfect (replacement for Warrior).

I wish they would just stop bringing back Goldberg and Lesnar.
Both are putting on terrible matches of finishing moves only. It's not watchable wrestling.
I'm excited for all the feuds we may see from McIntyre vs Owens, Reigns, Styles etc

Toy sales are skyrocketing right now.
From my experience alone, we're purchasing a lot of Lego, art supplies and puzzles for our kids

Conrad Thompson is awful as well. Such a piece of crap
Rumour and innuendo has it that you find Conrad Thompson to be a piece of crap.
I struggle listening to him. He's constantly out of breath and some of the stuff he says is nasty, he comes off as anti-gay, racist, and seems predatory with those loans

I think Bruce Prichard is a liar. The names were drawn from a bag and yet the tag team partners conveniently fight each other- Hawk vs Droz and Bart vs Holly. I’ve listened to a lot of his podcast and I feel Bruce has lied a lot. Contrary to what he has said in his podcast before going back to wwe, he is the ultimate Vince yes-man! i mean, look at the sniveling weasel. i couldn't handle his podcast because of his whitewashing of everything. Conrad Thompson is awful as well. Such a piece of crap

I picked a random bunch of guys I think made a huge impact on the business. If there's anyone you think I missed, I'll add them.
