I want to buy that sketch. I think it is really cool that they did hand-drawings first and someone kept them all this time.

Why do people hate Seth Rollins? Many, Many reasons..... He's a natural heel that they're trying to make "be a babyface" and the crowd isn't buying it. Did you ever watch the episode of "Swerv'd" on the WWE Network, where the security guy pretends to not recognize Seth Rollins & denies him access to the building? Watch Seth's reaction..... guess what folks - that's not scripted OR a promo - that's a real a-hole berating a security guy with "DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM?" type of stuff...... his recent tweets attacking people like Will Ospreay just back that theory up - the guy's a real-life prick. Then he went & sent "private-personal" pics around to somebody who wasn't his significant other.... & ticked her off enough to share them on the internet for the world to see just to get back at him..... hey, that's his "private" business - but another reason I don't really feel like cheering for him...... Then let's look at the injuries...... majorly F'd up the face of John Cena - who is on the brink of a huge career making movies with his good looks......... next up he ended the career of STING...... and nearly crippled Finn Balor. Finally - he messed up his own leg & was out for a while...... I've been saying for a while that Rollins is a careless worker. Goldberg constantly gets crapped on for ending the career of Bret Hart - so why do some people give Rollins a pass on ending Sting's career? And his promos? Do youself a favor..... go back & watch some of the great promos by Ric Flair..... The Rock...... "Stone Cold" Steve Austin...... Mick Foley......... Paul Heyman.........Bobby Heenan....... hell even Hulk Hogan........ now watch a Rollins promo. The quality just isn't there. Can't remember one single line from one single Seth Rollins promo....... I could accept him as the cowardly heel..... I cannot buy this guy as the TOP FACE of the TOP PROMOTION in the entire world. I just don't enjoy his work - never have, never will..... Seth is not a careless worker. These guys wrestle 100s of matches a year. Mistakes are bound to happen. His knee to Cena was an accident that many people have done to others in the past. Kurt Angle broke Bob Holly’s arm with a moonsault. Is he a careless worked? And there’s a lot of layers when it comes to Sting. First off he probably shouldn’t have been wrestling anymore. Second, there are agents that go thru the match and they approved these buckle bombs for some reason. And three, Sting has even taken blue that he didn’t tuck in his chin properly. I am not saying you have to like the guy but injuries don’t automatically make you careless. Injuries happen all the time. To answer the main question of this thread, the wrestling community has become very fickle. They flip flop on people all the time. They love an indie guy when they think they’re a hidden secret and they are the only ones that discovered them. Once that talent is actually successful then they’re supposedly crap. AEW is cool to people because it’s new. People will hate that soon too. It’s already happened to NXT. The turn happens quick. It’s a lot of work to keep up with these people nowadays.

Remember when Network spotlights only came with one figure per release but were always a home run? The Ambrose and Reigns were home-runs? I don't know about that.

I actually thought this was one of the best main roster PPVs of the year. My only gripe is the Kofi/ Orton finish.

This match has been great. I love how people are refusing to give it credit.

Why do they need to bring both ring announcers? I don't understand why they pay all these people when they could limit it all. Why bring six announcers when you could use two. I don't get it.

They are talking about everything after that. Making out with Christian & Jericho, wrestling in bra & panties matches, and wrestling 6 minute women’s title matches? If you are going to be a negative Nancy all night then don't watch. No one is forcing you to watch friend.

Trish was literally in her thong, on a leash, making out with Vince, wrestling in mud, and they call her a trailblazer They are talking about everything after that.

I thought that match was very, very good. I don't know why everyone is disappointed...

I still will not buy that figure even if its marked down to a dollar and/or if target dumps them off at goodwill. Nobody ever asked for this figure, it killed the nxt line, and it has no accessories included to entice anyone to buy it just for the accessories. The Nxt Rusev figure has no redeeming value at all to me at least. It is the worst figure mattel has ever made, bar none. The only reason to buy this figure is to either complete your elite nxt collection or you are a diehard Rusev fan and have to own every one of his figures made. There may have been other bad elite figures made by mattel but none that checked the 3 boxes I mentioned. I also want to thank mattel and target for not doing anything about this awful figure to purge it out of the stores until now when the line is officially dead. You can both equally take a bow to this crapfest. Sorry if I am venting but i saw now they are finally marking this atrocity down. Its very much like they waited too long with the Tito Santana figure. Thank you to the 3 different forum members here who I was able to trade or purchase the riott, McIntyre, and finally the aleister figures from this final series/set. Here are some pics of proof of what targets in my area looked liked from 5 months ago and have not changed much at all as far as I know. flic.kr/p/2dwopvDflic.kr/p/24iJTyRflic.kr/p/SPLV2jAre you a Target executive or something? I would love to know how you know that this figure single-handedly killed the line. There are plenty of lines that die early on. Look at the Attitude era line which only provided four figures. Who ruined that line? Look at the Walmart flashback series. Who ruined that line? I would go blue in the face naming them all. This NXT line sold really well and one figure did not kill the line. If you don't like the figure then you don't have to buy it. Some of us forget the business side of things and that we sometimes need a figure like this to balance out the budget and produce figures we really want. Get over it.

They shouldve used RA style as the base of the line with Deluxe style as a subset. I wouldve bought TNA figures of these guys if they were RA style Sting AJ Styles Jeff Hardy Shark Boy James Storm Suicide Scott Steiner They made an RA style Sting and Suicide. They were Walgreens exclusives. Great figures.

I love the nonstop complaining and crying over this Harley Race figure. If you wanted it so bad you would have purchased it off of eBay. Obviously the prices are ridiculous right now but you should have bought it when it was first released. I purchased it for $70 off of eBay when it was first released and I do not regret it. Sorry you all waited, knowing you would most likely never find it in stores, and now it is out of everyone’s price range.
I hate these store exclusives but I am an avid collector and I’ve accepted that if I want it I’ll pay to get it. I’m not going to wait hours driving back and forth with nothing to show for it. I got lucky once with a Pete Dunne but that’s the only one. I’ve purchased every other exclusive for higher than store value. Either pay more or don’t. But stop complaining. At the end of the day it’s a toy. No one NEEDS them.

Decent showing. Hopefully I’ll be able to get my hands on a few of these. Finally getting an invasion-era Booker T which has been long over due. Pete Dunne gets another release, but he’s in all black which is pretty dull, and has a new headscan, which is okay I guess. I really dug the first headscan and maroon coloring of the first figure but Mattel made that one impossible to find. Kassius Ohno is an exclusive? Oh no. Guess i can choose to pay $100 for it on eBay if I really like it. Hopefully we eventually get Roderick Strong elite. We keep getting random NXT guys but my favorite NXT guys never get released. Still waiting on that Hideo Itami elite. He’s killing it in the G1. Just release the damn elite. But make room for all those Nikki Bella elites... Those will warm shelves for years to come. I’ll get Gargano inspite if those tiny boots and painted legs. Looks good otherwise. Mattel seems to hate the idea of giving us a Kane in his most memorable red attire. This time we get red-suited Kane but he has an undertaker head and his left arm is red which he only did a few times. Oh well. Maybe I can torso crack for the first time and put a flesh colored arm on it. Are you new here?! We got two different releases of that “most memorable attire”! Yeah. Which Kane are you talking about because we have gotten all (or almost all) of them.

I love how there were all these great reveals and yet people still complain. I shouldn't be surprised but I am. We are getting a freakin' Chyna and all I see on here is "where's Hogan" and "Uh Lesnar is an UE." Hogan will come one day (and we already have SOME Hogans) and if you don't like the Brock figure then don't buy it. They made and are making really cool UE figures. One bad choice is not a big deal at all. I think some of you forget at the end of the day these are toys. I love toys just as much as the next guy but I won't cry because there's a guy I wouldn't have chose in the line. How about we appreciate the other studd we are getting?

Well Hogan is the biggest name in the history of wrestling and Mattel haven't covered a verifiable crapload of his iconic looks and personas (Hollywood, Hulk Still Rules, Bash at the Beach, NWO Black and Red, Mr America at the very least). People want them ASAP. And before he s up again or the Mattel loses the license. If those reports are true about them not being able to make him yet then I'll just have to do without and sell what I have left off as incomplete, which it was without Race anyway. I'm not waiting another year. I'll wait until Sunday or until Bill says something (which he should've a year ago if he didn't keep ignoring the ing question) but if there's no Hogan this year I'm officially 100% done with wrestling figures. That is a little over-dramatic...

I pray Kofi avoids a Brock cash in and leaves WWE Champion tonight. Samoa Joe is just a loser. Man talks a tough game but always loses. He shouldn't win the title now. That's WWE booking. If they appreciated his mic skills and booked Joe correctly then he would have been a heavyweight champion already.

It is so predictable now that every PPV has at least one match on the card that lasts less than 1 minute. I knew this match was going to be short.
