Just got a shipping notification from Target! My order is for: TF Bazooka, TF Recondo & 2 Cobra PP Officers.
Still no update of my TF Duke/R.A.M. set as of yet.

I seem to remember his first BCA figure being in red... Am I misremembering? It's possible, as that was 25-ish years ago. I meant this one, not the first necessary. We already got red, so out of his most worn/known looks blue beats green. Blue was also his default attire in WM2000 Gotcha; fair enough! On a related note, all of his BCA heads were terrible. I especially hate the screaming ones. It looks more like he just walked into his surprise birthday party.

Making the regular green is so bizarre, because I donβt remember him wearing green ever. I did see it once while watching the network recently, but the BCA figure was in blue. He wore Black, red, and blue almost exclusively. I seem to remember his first BCA figure being in red... Am I misremembering? It's possible, as that was 25-ish years ago.

What the crap?! They list his ONE Intercontinental Championship reign, but not his THREE United States Championship reigns?

Oh, good grief. A couple of things that I remember about this guy (besides a lot of stuff that's been mentioned here already):
He uploaded a video (here, or somewhere else) of Velvet Sky at an autograph signing. She started dancing for some reason, and he was a good three feet behind her, and started dancing also. He kept looking into his camera, like he was going "Look! We're dancing together!" She had no idea that he was there.
The second one was around 2011, give or take. Target was clearing out all the Jakks Impact figures for less than $2 each. I picked up all the unique ones that I could find in my area, and posted a pic here. He immediately sent me a PM, listing off which ones that he wanted me to send to him (offering nothing in return). I replied "Nowhere in my post did I say these were available for sale/trade/gifts/whatever".
I also remember a video of him hounding Burt Reynolds for an autograph, when Burt was just trying to get into his car, and looked like he was on his deathbed.

I was fortunate enough to have attended this past week's Rampage/BotB5/Dark in Portland, live and in-person! Where's a good (FREE!) place to host my pics for sharing with y'all?

Saw it at two out of my three local Targets, but my preorder shipped yesterday, so I'm all set!

Oh man, I remember it like it was yesterday. I raced home from work to watch it (Jiminy Christmas, I'm old).

I had to doublecheck that this thread wasn't a Cody Rhodes Diva special.

I'd take both a Wildman Marc Mero and a Johnny B. Badd fig. I was a big fan of both characters!

Nice, I LOVE talking about my first show!! I remember a lot of mine, for the most part... Bear in mind that this took place in February of 1988. Geez, nearly 35 years ago. Anyway, this was a house show in Boise, Idaho.
S.D. Jones pinned Luscious Johnny V. Outlaw Ron Bass pinned Brady Boone Dangerous Danny Davis pinned Sam Houston WWF Women's Tag Team Champions Jumping Bomb Angels defeated the Glamour Girls (Kai/Martin) by pinfall... I don't remember who pinned whom, or even the names of either of the Angels. The Ultimate Warrior and Hercules Hernandez fought to a double count-out Ken Patera pinned one of the members of Demolition (either Ax or Smash; memory's a bit fuzzy). Whichever member that did NOT wrestle was on the outside of the ring. Hulk Hogan & Bam Bam Bigelow defeated Ted DiBiase & Virgil (with Andre the Giant) via pinfall. I'm about 90% sure that Hulk pinned Virgil.

Yeah, I'm on board with you guys. I got the RotS 3-pack for $25, and that's good enough for me.

I didn't mind the WarGames stuff too much, but for the love of all that's holy, could we have had at least ONE traditional Survivor Series elimination match?! Survivor Series is my second-favorite PPV (sorry; PREMIUM LIVE EVEN) of the year for those elimination matches alone. There were plenty of unused talents that could have been thrown together on teams quickly. Time may have been an issue, but heck! Make it a less than 10-minute match with quick eliminations, and skip a couple of those way-too-long recaps that they showed multiple times. Just my $0.02, of course.

Definitely Lex Luger showing up on the first Nitro. It appeared that the WWF had something planned for him based on his involvement in the main event of SummerSlam '95 the prior week, so it was kinda jarring to see him pop back up in WCW.
