I got two of the first four but Brock and I'm not sure if I'll get two of Warrior and Taker.

1. Gold Jeff Jarrett 2. White shoes Kurt Angle 3. Joker Sting 4. Singles release Bobby Roode 5. Suicide
I wish we would have got a Karen Jarrett, maybe TNA will be able to make Figures again, I know I'd collect them.

1. Rhino
2. No updated Impact Wrestling blue roped ring (4 or 6 sided)
3. Gunner (ofcourse)
4. Ultimate X Playset
5. Low-Ki for sure.
I really hope they try to start making figures again, in either Deluxe or Toybiz scale.

That is super cool, I've been thinking about picking up this line if I can find it.

It ended up being pretty cool and I dug Kalisto's new gear though I still think he should go back to long tights.
It was a good idea to have him win, just barely, then get destroyed. Reminds me of the old WWF days where you'd watch a match and it'd be like they both won in their own way as opposed to modern booking where I feel like a lot of people get buried.

I watched an interview with him and he seeks like a cool, likable guy and it's been his lifelong dream for WWE to sign him.
I think it's really cool now that WWE has changed their thoughts on signing people of a certain age, because you never know if you'll get more miles out of an aged Kane than a young Bryan or Graves, so give those older guys a chance!
I hope he does get signed and does well.

I was just thinking last night I'd like to see different members of Sanity, so I hope that happens.
I'm also happy Abyss is going to be a singles guy again and hopefully bring the mask back.
I was never a big fan of Crazzy Steve but I think in NXT I really could be.

Umm, I downloaded the Fight Network app on my Apple TV, it's basically a free version of what you guys were talking about.
You can watch the old TNA PPVs and PPV weekly shows for free and in full.
It's pretty awesome. I've been using it a lot lately.
Also I'm Canadian, just incase you guys thought it was an American only thing.

One thing nobody has mentioned was how funny him and Tenay's faces were when the other one was talking. That used to crack me up every show.
Don West awkwardly moistening his lips and squinting and nodding, loved it.

I've been watching lately, I think they definitely need to sign more guys but their X-Division throwbacks were pretty cool.
I also am really excited to see Abyss as a singles star again. I just want him to wear the mask again.
I will be curious to see what happens with Paige, that could be a big signing for them if things don't work out with WWE, which I don't think they will and I know she'd follow Alberto into a school gym with 5 fans.
I think for the time being that generates enough new things going on/potential.
Oh and JR as commentator would be cool with me!
One thing I'd really like to see from TNA is some Legends broadcasters and managers. I always like seeing the old guys involved and hearing their over the top voices.

That stinks about Aron Rex, he was such a cool throwback kinda wrestler that I could have enjoyed seeing had they done better things with him.
I always hope TNA can keep afloat, there's always potential in there they're not hitting. It's cool having a 6 sided alternative to WWE with guys you probably wouldn't see in WWE.
Plus I think one thing they don't get enough credit for is how much focus they put on their weekly shows, WWE's weekly shows are mostly PPV hype and TNA's shows are like definitive rivalry ends and title changes, even when they had more regular PPVs.

People seem to forget she got suspended. She was garbage. Got called up, went back to NXT, got called up again. Was given an angle where she didnt even have to wrestle. Then gets suspended. By the time her suspension was up the Womens division was defined. It was an ok gimmick, but she couldve had that 3-4 years ago without the going back to nxt.... I think the idea was to have a payoff when she actually does wrestle that's she okay at it as opposed to she finally wrestles and is just horrid. We just won't get to see where it was all gonna lead.

They are quite the pricey thing to come across, I saw one Inoki on card on the Japan yahoo auctions the other day for around $300 Canadian but I haven't seen a full lot for sale. How much do each figure normally run for in you folks experience if you don't mind sharing? I own a loose set. It took me from March 2004 until November 2010 to complete my full set. In 1981 Popy released ten 5.5" figures in the 'Super Professional Wrestling'-series, licensed by booker Don O'Neill. The figures move at the arms and waist. My complete set with what I paid for each figure at the time (mostly converted from japanese yen to US $): In March 2004 I won my first Popy: Hulk Hogan (I paid: $176.08 - including fees & s&h) In September 2004 I was able to add another two: Abdullah The Butcher & Andre The Giant (for Andre I paid: $88 - without s&h) October 2005 I could finally add another Popy: Stan Hansen (I paid: $163.19 - without s&h) Number five would be for July 2007: Mil Mascaras Thanks to Stomwijf (our previous mod) I could add in December 2007: Antonio Inoki In December 2008: Harley Race Won this one in February 2009: Terry Funk December 2009: Bob Backlund (I paid: $135.75 - including fees & s&h (12,120 yen)) November 2010 finally my Popy set is completed: Dory Funk, Jr. So cool, thankyou for sharing. You ever think about getting like some of the Tiger Mask figures or if that Tiger Mask full sized ring would work with these?

I was watching NXT tonight and Cien came on and I can't stand him in that way that even if you told me he was gonna get destroyed or was facing my favourite wrestler...I'd still change the channel or fast forward through his match.
This seems to be the kind of heat a lot of wrestlers are getting nowadays, that kind of heat where people don't want to see them and it pushes them away the more TV time these kinds of stars get.
Now that might not be Cien specifically for everyone, but I'm wondering if people think this is a problem with the current product.
I think WWE has started to think that heat is heat and whatever gets a reaction is a good thing but I get the feeling they're pushing and going to push more, a lot of stars who get really strong bad heat where people are doing essentially the reverse of what happened when Mick Foley won the WWF Title on RAW.
The kind of heat someone like...Vince Russo would get...do you guys think that WWE is starting to push a lot of "change the channel" types of content, not understanding the difference?
I'm always going to watch wrestling, but I find there are times when I fast forward or skip whole episodes or even just start watching highlights and in a time where TV is so competitive and a lot of people would rather stream, I feel it's something they might have trouble with.

I'd like to see one with a cage. I don't know how big of a market the nostalgia collector is compared to people just going to the store and buying something they like.
I think the collectors are such a bigger secondary than primary market it might be a bit unlikely but I'm not gonna give up hope that the line becomes super popular and leads to a lot more stuff.
I saw someone mention how cool it'd be if they did a good job in LJN throwback figures and started thinking more about all the things they could do if the retro line takes off.
A part of me wonders what kids think of those figures compared to their other options...

Yeah I think he'll get an Elite with the Cruiserweight title, and I definitely want that figure if they do a good job on it.
Also, I want a furry jacket Austin Aries for him to beat on!
I am starting to really like 205 Live and I think there's a lot of different materials they could use to give them accessories, hoping that happens.

It seems like she's done or on the fence.
Maybe they're trying to actually not spoil the entire season of Total Divas from what you hear and see in advance.
Like right now I watch an episode and it's all old stuff...like oh will Brie get pregnant? She's due any day...this is just getting skipped through on my PVR.
As for her figure I agree about the Elite thing, plus Nia is coming out too!

I've heard about stuff happening like this to figures people opened themselves back when they first came out, however like someone said if it said impeccable condition and it isn't...and it's bothering you...doesn't hurt trying to get your money back and you could always sell it and buy another.
If you really want to find out, go to a toy show and check one out or visit a fellow collector.
Good luck.
