Lol I’d actually be down for a full set of Rey elites as long as the attires span his career and are all ones that we haven’t gotten before. I’m still hoping we get a WM19 “Daredevil” Rey at some point.

Anyone else surprised he didnt amount to more in the WWE? Great look, solid worker, and played the foreign-heel role pretty well. He seemed to have all the tools Vince looks for in a star (outside of the accent lol). Guy is still the youngest performer to ever win a title in the WWE at 19, and when he moved to Smackdown in 2004, I thought he’d grow to be the foil to Cena for years.
I know he had issues with Bob Holly and got busted for drugs at one point, but Vince has always picked and choosed when to enforce punishments so it was weird to me Dupree seemed to just drop to nothingness before being released.
Anyone else a fan of the guys WWE run?

Never understand the "less emphasis on beauty" ideology. WWE's roster the last 5-10 years arguably has had many more attractive women on it than ever before. There's literally something for everyone. Apparently women can’t be gorgeous and ass kickers at the same time, hence heroines today featured with little to no makeup, disheveled hair, and frumpy clothes (while men today are often used as eye-candy, thus contradicting the whole thing).

I’d be 100% down with a repeat of the Al Wilson storyline with Alexa and Liv playing the Torrie Wilson and Dawn Marie roles.

So I guess Vince is going to continue running the same 10 performers he does every week to fill his shows. Same old rematches, same old stories.

Quick Scott Steiner I threw together. Still needs some logos but liking the look and didn’t need to repaint the head as the skin tones are pretty close. What body/arms did you use? It looks great! Head: RA Scott Steiner Torso, crotch, and upper legs: Decade of Domination HHH Arms: Rusev Legs and boots: Ryback (I put this together with fodder parts, and the legs match pretty well with the kneepads breaking them up).

I think Scarlett could be a star. Any promotion would be smart to grab her.

Oh come on now, everyone knows that the Invasion angle was a hit with the top heels for WCW/ECW being Steve Austin, Kurt Angle and Shane McMahon. For nothing says WCW and ECW like Austin, Angle and Shane O Mac! Ha ha ha I know that he was kind of a big nothing at the time but bringing Big Show to the alliance and rebranding him as the Giant would have made a lot more sense and maybe helped save his career during that time. I’ve always said that if we were stuck with the rosters we got, turn Big Show and Jericho heel and have them join the alliance rather than Austin (and later Angle).

Archer is the only one I like from this wave. The first two sets of Bucks look nicer than these IMO, and FTR are brutal. Too bad neither Mattel or Jazwares have nailed them IMO. Nyla’s face looks off too, but not a fan so wasn’t interested in getting her figure to begin with.

Anyone else think the helmeted Peacemaker, looks more like Cena, than the helmet-less variant? The unmasked Elba likeness is not good, either. On top of the fact I don’t like them selling the same figure masked and unmasked in an era so many figures come with changeable heads, they were pretty bad. I only got the Peacemaker one in box because it’s Cena. The masked one is great. I’m thinking the images I’ve seen of the unmasked Affleck Batman wasn’t very good either. It’s annoying but understandable from McFarlane’s standpoint. Todd gives us a lot of unique sculpts (way more than any other mass-retail action figure provider at the moment). The multiple releases with different heads is annoying for consumers, but it helps Todd recoup money from all the new sculpting hes giving us. As far as the headsculpts not looking good, it’s the paint McFarlane is using in production. The repainted heads on Instagram look great, but whoever McFarlane is using for production is using crappy paint that’s too thick.

So will we get replacement arms for those that purchased the figure already, or will it just be a running change?

Goldberg losing to Nash basically led to the death of WCW. WCW initially saw an increase in weekly viewers in the weeks following the Finger Poke of Doom. Fans wanted to see Goldberg get revenge and end the nWo once and for all. Instead, we got another Hogan/Flair feud, and once Goldberg beat Hall and Nash, he was all of a sudden booked in a nothing-feud with Rick Steiner of all people. This is when WCW’s downfall truly started (though they had been trying to jumpstart it for a while by that point).

Great feud, and gave us the origins of Jason Jordan.

The fact that Coach was booked to go over Stone Cold tells you everything about this crappy angle.

Fantasy booking wise, the nWo could have been the wild card between the WWF and WCW/ECW. Basically a 3-way “war.”

The undisputed title design only lasted around 3 years. It was only held by HHH, Hogan, Taker, Rock, Brock, Angle, Eddie, JBL, and Cena.

Well, with the way the draft went, it doesn’t seem like anyone will be beating Roman anytime soon (outside of maybe Drew, or if Vince wants to pop a quick rating, Brock). Not saying it’s the right or wrong move, but personally, the Tribal Chief thing has run its course by this point. After over a year, nothing has really been added to this except Roman’s questioning of Heyman’s loyalty (which doesn’t interest me much). If they threw a Roman title loss in there (for him to get it back not long after), or maybe have the Usos try to break away, it would add something new to this. Instead it’s the same thing every feud Roman has (tells his opponent to acknowledge him for weeks, then needs to cheat to win).
At this rate nobody will be beating him until Bron Breakker at WM40.

Shame they still can’t get Gunn’s boots right. I always wondered what the desk behind Gunn’s boots were. They have two molds that would work better then what they chose. The original LOD boot mold and the new LOD boot mold. Both are great options imo. Mattel: “Spreadsheets.” Me: “But Rock has had multiple recipe changes over the years.” Mattel: “…spreadsheets.”

Best: Hollywood Hogan or Bret. Worst: Edge. The torso is way too skinny without the jacket and the attire is so bland. Not sure why people are saying Shinsuke. The figure is actually really good. Is it cause he shelf warmed (which I’m guessing is due to his crappy booking when it was released)? the Shinsuke torso is bad, 2 of the heads are bad, with the jacket and good head it’s solid tho Same with Edge, it’s ok just the worst of a good line Why is the torso bad? It’s pretty accurate to his lengthy but doughy look. I’ll agree two of the heads arnt that good but the one that is nails him. Now Edge, that’s a terrible torso. Way too skinny for a guy who’s 6’5” and over 200 pounds.
