This may be a stretch, but could they do an ECW 4 pack?
We have WCW and WWF/E from that era so getting a set of ECW guys would be awesome, I just don't know if they would have access to the characters to pull this off.
RVD Taz Sabu Sandman
that would probably be my dream ECW four pack, but we know for a fact Taz will be off limits.

What a great weekend of wrestling! I know some were not keen on night one, but I really enjoyed both nights. That main event was so much fun, all the guys delivered big time.
This was entertaining as hell and to be honest the Uso's match was the only match that I did not really enjoy other both nights and even then, I have seen far worse.
I am not a big Cody fan at all, but that ending was special as hell, a real feel good moment and you can tell that all the guys and gals are clearly 100 percent behind Triple H and what he is doing.
Easily one of the best WrestleMania's I have seen in years!

I love this WrestleMania. It's just a really fun event. It has a solid opener and epic IC title match and a tremendous WWF title match. I even enjoyed Hogan Vs Sid! Hogans entrance is one of my all time favourites from a WrestleMania. The return of the Ultimate Warrior has me freaking out big time.
This show has some great matches and moments with fun smaller stuff sprinkled in.
I know people love to fantasy book this one, but I honestly would not have changed it one bit! Only thing I would have done is have the LOD actually have a match. Was one of them injured here?
One weird thing about this show is that on the original Silver Vison VHS it makes a point to mention that the British Bulldog Vs Bezerker match didn't take place. Even though the box doesn't mention it.

I have said since I saw this event live that the iron man match was such a let down. Ten minutes of excitement and 50 plus of slow boring stuff.
HBK 100 percent in my opinion needed to take the first fall and then be chasing Bret the rest of the match, but no way his ego would have allowed for that.
A regular match of 20 to 30 minutes and these two would have torn the house down.
At the time of WrestleMania XII I was in high school and my friend group were all huge wrestling fans and we all had predictions on what the score would be and not one of us predicted 0 0.
Diesel Vs Undertaker is awesome and Undertakers first really good WrestleMania match. The Hollywood Brawl was nuts and kind of fun.
My major highways the return of The Ultimate Warrior, I know not everyone is a fan, but I was not disappointed one bit in his return.

Diesel Vs Shawn Michaels was such a great match, even with the botched jackknife. I always found it strange how Diesel was HBKs buddy, but Shawn himself admits he tried to blow him up and steal the show. I have always been a Nash fan, he's way better in the ring than people give him credit for.
Also, I was 14 at the time so the inclusion of Pam Anderson and Jenny McCarthy was much appreciated.
Being from the UK, I knew nothing of LT apart from what the WWF presented, but it was a decent match.
Rest of the card was kind of lame. What a waste of Bret Hart although Piper being there was cool.
I do like the set for this WrestleMania though.

Austin Vs Hart is one of the greatest matches of all time so this show gets a pass based on that alone.
I also love the street fight. I was a big Ahmed Johnson fan and I always loved the LOD and they looked so bad ass.
Rest of the card.... Meh

I saw some closer up images of HBK and Bulldog on Instagram and to be honest, they did not look as bad as when I first saw them at the fan access thing. I kind of wish they did not have HBK's hair pulled back, I think if he had more flowing hair he would look even better. Also, I know that I have been a bit negative with some of the stuff I have said, I do not mean to piss on anyone parades here, and if you love them all, more power to you. I love this line I really do I just want it to be so great and I think to be honest with you I (and from what I have read a few others do to) have an idea in my mind of what I think this line should be and it is unrealistic that Mattel are ever going to make the line just the way I want it. I do not think I will stop pointing out the stuff I do not like, but I am going to try and be more positive about stuff. At the end of the day, this should be fun and it sucks when you have some old fart bitching about stuff Also, I want in on this wish list thing so here are mine that I think are realistic with who we know WWE has deals with. I am double dipping with some guys with the assumption that not all these sets would get made. SummerSlam 91: Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Sgt Slaughter, Col Mustafa Heenan Family: Ravishing Rick Rude, Andre the Giant, Mr. Perfect, Bobby the Brain Heenan SummerSlam 88 or WrestleMania IV: Macho Man Randy Savage, Ted Dibiase, Andre the Giant, Hulk Hogan Survivor Series 92: Mr. Perfect, Macho Man Randy Savage, Razor Ramon, Ric Flair New Generation: Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Diesel, Razor Ramon (this would be my ultimate dream set) Those are the ones that sprung to mind.

This show at the time did not feel like WrestleMania, they got away with the arena in 20 because it was MSG and in 21 you had the Hollywood theme, but here it just kind of felt a little small time for WrestleMania if that makes sense.
There was some fun stuff here, HBK vs Vince, Foley vs Edge and the triple threat match for the WWE title were all entertaining and I think that they all hold up to this day. I was and am a Cena fan, but that match lasted way too long. The rest of the card was not that great either, Taker vs Henry was brutal, it was one of the weakest MITB matches and that opener!
This is not one of my favorite WrestleMania events that is for sure, but it is so awesome that you were there live, it is probably the kind of show that was way more fun if you were there in person. I have tried to watch this a few times and it just kind of drags for me.

Can I ask where you got the second image? This is a bit of a rant, but it drives me insane when we get pictures like this that use multiple wrestlers, but they have a wrestler from the wrong era, in the case of that image, Bret Hart! The actual WWE does it all of the time when they make their fake retro shirts, posters and whatever and it drives my OCD brain nuts! Whoever made that image is clearly a huge wrestling fan and there are a million images of an 80s Bret Hart out there so why use a 90s one??? Yes, I have problems I am well aware of that In all seriousness, I love when you post these poster like images as they are so cool to see. I really don’t mean to set you off, but the first pic on the first post has an image of Pat Patterson instead of Don Muraco. Sorry! God damn it, I never noticed that and was living in blissful ignorance until you pointed it out

I also wanna shout out JR,Mach and Bobby in the booth. Enjoyed the hell outta their brief run during this era Looking back now, Savage was completely wasted on commentary in his later years in the WWF, especially when he showed that he could still go in WCW. However, I always enjoyed his work as a commentator and thought that he was fun, had a lot of energy and with the right guy, he could have some fun and witty back and forth too.

I know that Owen Hart would be a major missing piece, but does Mattel have all the rights that they could do a 97 Hart Foundation 4 pack on Ringside?
Bret, Bulldog, Anvil & Pillman?
