Big Boss Man, Akeem, King Kong Bundy, and the Natural Disasters vs Yokozuna, Mabel, Rikishi, Vader, and Dusty Rhodes. A suplex from the top turnbuckle won’t be needed for the ring to collapse in this one! love it! my giants one would be old school vs new generation: (captain) andre, studd, bundy, bossman, akeem vs (captain) yokozuna, gonzales, bigelow, earthqauke, typhoon

Series 3 killed it. They added stands and a mobile app feature and jacked up the price. Plus the lineup wasn’t that great. If you’re gonna have a line geared towards Gen X and Millennial nostalgia then maybe don’t have a series with no flashback figures. Retail support was spotty after that and by the time Mattel started figuring things out not enough people cared to sustain the line. I'd argue they never really figured it out given they kept shoving figures of guys like Ryder, the broken Hardyz and Elias out when the target audience for that line just wanted legends. i only collected the legend ones and it was a bummer to see them astart doing more & more current guys. they shoulda just had 2 lines for that then. legend collectors want a set of legends to collect when they come out not just 1 fig here and there. series 2 was AWSOME (aside from 2 jumper figs)

Final four for me are Savage and Jake vs Rude and Andre. Andre chokes out Jake getting DQ'd, Rude hits the rude awakening on Jake to eliminate him, then Savage hits the elbow drop on Rude for the win. By the way, I would have loved to have seen a Savage / Rude feud. yea thatd been sweet! they did a few house show matches back in the day tho. View Attachment

Most definitely. I wish Savage wasn't injured during Survivor Series 90, it would have been a great match: Warrior/Tornado/Hawk/Animal vs Savage/Perfect/Ax/Smash (with Crush doing the running in and cheating). That's a dream match for me, big fans of all 8. Yeah that wouldve been great. But hey at least we got a promo from em. That candy cane attire would make a nice elite. do u have a link to that promo i cant remember it.

i think both matches are closer than people think, but imo hulk & andre are the big factors. i can see guys like windham, luger, nikita pinning guys like savage, steamboat, one man gang. flair is one of the best and is bound to beat some guys. but who and how are they gonna beat hulk. maybe countout or DQ. i put the edge on wwf, but wouldnt be surprised if nwa squeaked one out.

Andre & savage being on both teams hurt WWF for me. Dont worship at the altar of either. NWA for both... my 87 wwf team woulda been hogan, andre, bigelow, steamboat, snake & id leave the 1988 one alone. that one is perfect. mega-powers, mega-bucks, & warrior! i didn't like windham being on both years for nwa myself. my 1987 nwa woulda been flair, dusty, nikita, & road warriors. and i woulda kept 1988 the same as well. love the 1988 one. its the top guys vs the top guys perfectly.

Andre, Giant Gonzalez, The Great Khali, Big Show VS Dink, Pink, Stink, and whatever that other midget was called. Midgets could win if they do the 2 in the Pink - 1 in the Stink move!
