Why isn't there a "future endeavors" story on WWE.com about this yet? Cody does love to work the fans....
(Jesus, I guess there could be one. That site is an unnavigable disaster zone now...)

Lame. He was my favorite WWE performer before he got jobbed into oblivion. Stardust was a dead end, but Cody could have been something special. I know it's been said before, but the guy could do whatever was asked of him, he made every stupid gimmick work, and when he worked as a face (like the angle against the Authority) the crowd was way into him.
Unless they really shake things up on Sunday, I might be taking a leave from WWE myself.

Yeah, because that Papa-Shango-cursing-the-Ultimate-Warrior angle was just SOOOOOOOOOOOO good.

If you're looking to get into wrestling figures to make money...you probably shouldn't. Just my 2 cents.

Ambrose is the most over face they have right now. I can't see any value in turning him heel at this point.
Also, they should definitely advertise returns for top guys if it could boost viewership. Surprises are good, but, like why bother having, say, the Undertaker on if no one's going to know about it. Agreed otherwise.

Not in what I'd call my area, but I found one at the Target about 100 miles from me.

Nah, it wasn't that one, but I do feel like it was a few months before that, because I was worried about it going into that match. I suppose it might not even have been Mark Henry, but someone smaller. Eh, it's all vague now. I kinda got the feeling that he never got the position he wanted because he had an attitude that didn't sit well with management. And I don't think this is gonna help. Personally, I was never much of a fan, especially after one of his Mark Henry matches where he couldn't lift him properly. I was worried he was seriously gonna hurt someone after that. If you're referring to the end of their WM 29 match...that was the planned ending. Ryback has lifted Khali and Big Show up before, I'm sure Mark Henry wouldn't have been a problem for him.

I kid! I kid the terrible BCA figures! Seriously, they weren't all bad, but I lived through the BCA days, and I still have my hideous British Bulldog and Sid to prove it! You know of what I speak! I see people talking about a lot of classic tag teams that they'd like to see figures of, but I don't think I've ever seen a request for Men on a Mission. Would anybody be up for that? It's actually pretty iffy for me, as I was never a fan, but, other than Mabel as a solo wrestler, they've never received figures of any kind as far as I know... not even crappy BCA Jakks ones, so that does make them kind of appealing to me. I mean, I suspect Mo and Oscar ain't gonna get legends contracts anytime soon, but still curious if anyone would be interested. Take that back. And no, I wouldn't be interested in M.O.M. but King Mabel/Viscera perhaps.

Yeah, I'm not suggesting there's any chance it's likely to happen, for a number of reasons. Just curious if there was interest from collectors. No Mabel's wife has a lawsuit against wwe right now saying they contributed to his death So i doubt it will happen

People could love Reigns if he was packaged properly. He was awesome in the Shield, remember? But that's before he was the obvious top guy. But as soon they started shoving him down our throats, pretending he's an underdog when he's been carefully groomed and spoon-fed every opportunity to be on top, a lot of people turned on him, and for good reason. It's ironic that he's supposed to be fighting authority when it's so obvious he's the ideal corporate poster-boy... I think that's why he's booed more than anything. And that's why fans do like to get behind the true underdogs who aren't supposed to be the top guy, like Bryan and Ambrose. IMO.

Yeah, I read it wrong too. Regardless, it'll be almost 6 months when May 1 rolls around, and WWE could sure use Rollins back. Considering it was the first few days of November, you have the entire rest of the month. So 1. November 2. December 3. January 4. February 5. March 6. April 7. May 4th November to December = 1 month of time December to January = 2 months January to February = 3 months February to March = 4 months March to April = 5 months www.timeanddate.com/date/durationresult.html?m1=11&d1=04&y1=2015&m2=4&d2=23&y2=2016From and including: Wednesday, November 4, 2015 To, but not including Saturday, April 23, 2016 Result: 171 days It is 171 days from the start date to the end date, but not including the end date Or 5 months, 19 days excluding the end date Edit: Wait, wait, wait, were you saying that on May 1st, it will have been about 7 months since he was injured? I'm reading it as, that its been about 7 months since he was injured, and he was injured on May 1st.

We don't need the draft/brand split to make things interesting. We just need good booking. That's the only thing preventing more varied matches and stopping underutilized talent from getting more screen time.

I think he's just trying to point out that he wasn't doing illegal drugs, which he considers especially important in light of his family's history. I believe his sister died from heroin addiction. And I'm guessing the drug he was taking was some form of anti-depressant? I don't know, that seems like the most logical thing though.

Nice job. Situations like this are why repacking - and stores that are fine selling repacked crap as long as they get their money - piss me off.

I'll admit to having not read the entire thread, so if this exists I apologize, but what about a McMahon Family 4-pack with Vince/Steph/Shane/Hunter all with suits or combination with Shane having wrestling attire? Since none of them are in the Hall of Fame, this seems awfully unlikely.

I've seen this topic pop up a couple of times over the years, and if you want to call them sculpts because it's correct in many cases, prepare to be bashed.

Seen plenty of E41 at TRU and Walgreens, but no sign of Balor. Meanwhile Target is restocking E36 and 37....
