Yeah that really is a too bad, I would have loved to see a new, older Tajiri tearing up 205 Live and NXT.

I think he'll get mad at TNA and then try to mend the bridge with WWE before long.
I'm really more interested in what's going to happen to his wife-to-be (or wife already?) Paige.

I was always a huge Matt Morgan fan and I'm glad to see him back.
It seems he's immediately been put back into the Main Event and I think he might eventually be champion but to me he was always a guy that didn't need a title to be a top star or a threat to anyone in the company.

I liked all of them but yeah, WCW/nWo Revenge was the best, however it is worth mentioning if you want to play as Ric Flair, you need to be playing WCW vs. nWo: World Tour.

I didn't even know there was an Impact game, is it any better than WWE' 12? It's wicked and different. I loved it.

I thought the way they put Suicide on TV was brilliant.
Funny how now that's how Goldberg ended up returning and the first time we saw Sting, I guess it started a trend!

I'd like it the same as the original with something like Universe Mode added and lots of DLC since it would be so long before they were able to make a followup probably.
I'd also be interested to see what kind of rights they'd have for doing some kind of mode where you can relive their best matches, which would include a lot of guys who aren't there anymore.

I'm still hoping this happens and they have an expansive Legends roster.

Lately (since this is a toy forum) I've been really getting back into the TNA Toybiz figures, and then today when I went to play some WWE2K17' I realized that you can make a TNA show in your Universe mode with a lot of the best stars from TNA.
- Sting - Christian - AJ Styles - Alberto Del Rio - The Dudley Boyz - Samoa Joe
- Scott Hall - R-Truth - Austin Aries - Luke Gallows - Ric Flair
Then there are some that were in TNA, even great in TNA, that don't fit so well with what version is included in the game.. - Booker T (though I think they chose the worst version of him to put in this year's game) - Mick Foley (though you might want to make him wear a plaid vest) - DDP (though he was short lived there) - Kevin Nash (though his hair isn't really right, but you could dye it grey I guess) - Road Dogg - Billy Gunn - Stardust
...and next year we'll lose a few guys but we'll gain...
- Robert Roode - Drew Galloway - The Hardy Boyz - Kurt Angle - Mickie James - Hulk Hogan (maybe) - Rhyno - RVD (Maybe, he mentioned something about coming back soon on his Twitter a while back) - Tommy Dreamer (He was at the Hall of Fame and fought on WWE TV a few times a while back)
...and who knows who else?
I probably missed a few but it's pretty exciting nonetheless. In earlier games I wasn't usually a fan of trying to carve out some kind of TNA roster with whatever scraps we'd get every year but in this year and next year's incarnations, it's a worthwhile enough chunk and there is Create-A-Show, Create-A-Title, Alternate Attires and so much more that it's pretty fun!

I wish they'd not try to cover so many eras so quickly.
I liked that they split the first 6 into a nice mix of one's that go with your originals and new popular guys but now with the next wave having WCW and Attitude Era stars? ...I'm not impressed.
I think if they keep making a ton of a figures that don't go with eachother they're gonna kill the line too quickly.
I'm hoping as Hogan looks more and more like he's in the good graces of WWE that he'll be made.

I love it, I still have the small bootleg version of it.
When I was a kid, a Canadian kid, I wanted this guy so badly for so long.

I remember when he came out I was dying to get him and was so happy when I saw him in Canadian stores.
The other Ravens they made were great too, I'd you're thinking of getting a MOC one, you could get one of the other versions.

I hope if they made a new toy line it would be like the Toybiz line, I'd love it if a company could get the rights to those figures.
I'd love to have an Alberto and Lashley to go with my Angle and everyone else.
I was always bummed when Jakes picked up the line, they did an okay job but nothing compared to what Toybiz did.

I've always had a love for the Hasbro line of figures, they were my real introduction into the crazy world of wrestling. So after admiring all the collections on here I broke my rule on collecting loose figures and began to snap up the first series of figures. I then decided that I needed to do something with them and so began a passion project. It began with redrawing the line drawings featured on the backs of the cards, then evolved into photographing all of the figures from multiple angles, retyping the bio cards, creating the action flashes and ended with me basically creating a collector's guide and coloring book for the first line. Looking back I wish I had blogged it on here and gave a step by step of the process. Maybe I'll do that for Series 2. Well I'm pleased that the Collector's guide and Coloring book are complete (see pictures below). If anyone would like to purchase it can be found at izacollects.bigcartel.com (for $10 each plus shipping) or would like to know more about the process. Also check my Instagram profile @iza_collects for more photos. Amazing job!

They really dropped the ball with this line in my opinion..Too many repaints..would have been cool to see a lot of those figures get made..I always wanted to see a Hacksaw Jim Duggan figure though. Totally forgot about him, that would have been awesome! Remember that match of his that Heenan laughed through?

I know it's a long list, but once I started trying to choose names I couldn't stop.
I thought the biggest crimes they did were doing nWo versions of Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage & Sting without doing Hall and Nash, the ones with "action features" were pretty close in size but it's just not the same..
...I also thought doing parts of the Dungeon of Doom but not all of it was bordering upon criminal as well, I loved Zodiac when I was a kid, and even now, he's like a Kinnikuman character has possessed The Barber!
...if they did I feel like we might have actually had enough figures for them to make a War Games playset, which would have been the ultimate! (I might have to make my own now..)

Nope, I want a WM32 one. I bet we'd see a Hype Bros 2 pack, I wish they made elite 2 packs With how crazy the tag division is and trying to sell people the Ascension separately, I'm thinking it's going to happen...

I wanted to ask, how did these guys size up against the WCW OSFTM Figures that were LJN style?
Originally I remember being so excited to get every single one of these, I bought Flair and realized the size difference and that was it for me, but I never really had a collection of the WCW ones until recently and now I'm like...maybe they size up with them correctly?
As for stickiness, it's usually the paint itself that's getting sticky, maybe try throwing the figures in the freezer for a while.

Over at Markville Mall they had the WrestleMania WWE Network Spotlight Roman Reigns Figure which is the best Roman I've seen yet with the metallic gold accents and championship belt, I was really happy to finally see an Elite I didn't have for the first time in a LONG TIME here in the Greater Toronto Area.. I'm REALLY hoping that we get the Baylet and Nakamura figures here too..
