At least they have a home now. I really want Carmella and Tozawa. I’ll probably pick up Bryan as well.

We have Naomi, Nattie and Alexa coming in the Walgreens series. And Paige, Liv Morgan, Nia Jax, Ruby Riott and I believe Ronda Rousey coming in future lineups shown at SDCC. I want to see more as well, but they are coming!  you do realize just those three will take til the end of 2019 - if not later - to come out, right? I can name at least 20 women who are more popular than Sami Zayn and how many elites is he up to in the last couple of years? lol I’m not arguing with you on that. I want more Elite females as well. I was just saying they are coming out, thankfully. I know seeing the same faces over and over gets annoying but at least they are coming. I bet some of them will be out by Jan-Feb. |

I actually got into watching wrestling because of the women (Luna Vachon, to be specific). I’ve watched WWE since around late ‘98 and have seen the women basically used as nothing more than eyecandy (even the talented wrestlers like Jackie, Luna and Ivory) to be in evening gown matches and gravy bowl matches (can that even be considered a “match”?). There obviously have been moments where the women seem to get credit. Such as the Golden Era. They seemed like an important and popular part of the company without it being pushed like some kind of PR agenda. But anytime they get momentum, the rug seems to be pulled out from under them (Golden Era to the Diva Search Era), which is why I have always considered women to be the perpetual underdogs of professional wrestling. NXT has done a really good job of making the women’s division (and every other division) matter and it’s a really cool thing to see. Obviously once anyone from NXT comes up to WWE, they are ruined almost all the time. So I was really excited about an all women’s PPV at first...but after hearing about the confirmed and rumored matches, it just seems like a typical WWE mess and I almost guarantee people will just blame a poor PPV on the women. Alexa Bliss vs Trish Stratus. I understand the idea they’re going for in this one. Trish is probably the most popular female to ever be in WWE and Bliss is the current most popular. It makes sense for what WWE would probably assume the fans see as a “dream match”. Bliss is a great character, but lacking in the wrestling (though she has improved) and Trish hasn’t wrestled full time in...12 years if I’m correct? So yeah. This will probably be a mess. Mickie James vs Lita. They feuded for a bit over the Women’s Championship leading up to Lita’s retirement and if anyone else remembers their matches, they had ZERO chemistry. Why would they even do this match? Lita looked pretty bad in the Rumble but she never really looked that great as a wrestler to begin with. Mickie is a veteran and doesn’t need the rub from Lita. I just don’t get this. Rumored: Ronda Rousey vs Nikki Bella. After Cena/Bella broke up, the WWE wants Nikki’s neck to get permanently broken. Hooray. What a joke of a rumored Main Event. Rumored: Brie Bella vs Maryse. A call back to the dreaded 2 minute match Diva Era. Would anyone even care whether either of these two never stepped foot in a ring again? I wouldn’t mind them having AJ Lee return to face someone like Sasha Banks or Bayley. Definitely have Charlotte vs Becky for the SD Women’s Title. Beth Phoenix vs Asuka maybe. I just honestly don’t know what they could do to make this PPVS worthwhile with WWE’s booking. 
First of all if not for Lita AJ Lee would've never gotten a chance to do her crazy schtick. And 2011 wasn't 12 years ago lmao, Trish will be fine. they all will be. and AJ's neck is shot to hell so virtually no chance of her coming back.
Literally none of what you said made any sense, whatsoever. Lita never had a crazy gimmick at any point in her WWE career. If it weren’t for Luna and then Victoria and then Mickie, I suppose you would have made more sense then. Trish retired in 2006. Period. If AJ can’t come back, that’s fine. But the PPV is sounding like a hot mess when this could have been a chance to actually showcase a solid women’s show that proves they are capable of drawing and having great matches. It’s really, much like lame gifs in response to a perfectly valid opinion from someone that has been watching wrestling for around 20 years, a joke. |

I wish there was an Elite Trish coming out.
I’m really interested ti see the Charlotte figure. Just hope it doesn’t have that scary new Basic scan.

I hate Basics so much. I hope they make that Finn as an Elite too.
I want Drew Gulak but I just don’t want to spend money on a Basic. I just doubt he’ll get an Elite any time soon.

Once again not a single female elite. "can't find a place" for Wendi... yeah okay. We have Naomi, Nattie and Alexa coming in the Walgreens series. And Paige, Liv Morgan, Nia Jax, Ruby Riott and I believe Ronda Rousey coming in future lineups shown at SDCC. I want to see more as well, but they are coming! |

I think the outfit is super basic, but I really love that Rollins headscan. I’ll probably pick that up with Balor.

I wonder if they are going to use the True FX tech on all figures in the future or just some figures here and there.
I really want to see Benjamin. I hope they get his pictures up soon. Other than that, I’m definitely getting Zayn and Shinsuke.

I don’t think that Ambrose looks anything like him.
I’ll pick up Sami. Probably Shinsuke as well. He looks grear. I’m excited to see what Shelton looks like too.

I started some awhile back but haven’t done much with them yet. I was planning on building a small custom roster but haven’t had any time lately. Here’s a picture I posted awhile back of what I started.  I have some more ideas when I have funds and time. I’ll post them when it happens though. |

That Mystique looks great! I don’t really care about the other characters but I hope after doing Jim Lee Sabertooth and Mystique, they do some more Brotherhood members in that fashion.

Forget about Zelina. Aries let The Lovely Lacey go...clearly he isn’t very bright!
Congrats to them. Hopefully they are happy together.

I’m excited to hear all they have to say about figures. I also can’t wait until they get Bill on an episode.

All I could think when I watched the match at Summerslam was that they have booked Alexa to go over the entire division on RAW and then she gets easily defeated by Ronda in what I wouldn’t even call a match. Therefore, if Bliss can win against the rest of the roster but can’t even last a couple minutes with Rousey, what does that say for the rest of the women (and where is Mickie at, btw)?
And that Championship celebration just had all the other women on the roster looking like they wished Rousey never signed a contract. Especially with the rumor that she’ll be main eventing the Evolution PPV against Nikki Bella (a match that nobody cares about).
I really do hope the announce Tag Titles to get Banks, Bayley, Riott Squad and hopefully Ember away from the Rousey mess. They can just have their tag division and hopefully do some new and creative things while WWE books Ronda vs Nikki in a match where Nikki will probably never be able to wrestle again afterwards.

I really like Elite Ember Moon from the NXT line. I think that is my favorite with the first Nia Jax right behind her.

Isn’t it the Creative Team’s job to think of something creative for each Superstar/Tag Team? Why is it that they very rarely seem to be able to do that for more than 2-4 Superstars?

I’m actually not familiar with her work but I really hope she has as much of a speedy recovery as possible.
