Confused by this... are they no longer Wal Mart exclusives? That's also what *I'm* wondering. By the way, have I ever told you that your username is HILARIOUS?!

Trying to figure out if its part of this retro line or not. On the RS product page, it states "These figures have a throwback to the Hasbro Style of the 90's!", so I'd say that was a good indicator.

Rocky Maivia got the IC title early hence why people hated him. Oh, we hated him LONG before he won that belt. Personally, I couldn't stand the way Vince would lose his mind about Rocky on commentary, trying to convince the audience that we did, in fact, think that he was the most exciting wrestler of all time. "EVERYBODY *LOVES* THE BLUE-CHIPPER!!!" *crowd boos the heck out of Rocky* But I do agree with your point; in fact, when I read the title of this thread, Rocky winning the IC belt was the first thing that I thought of.

Yeah, when I was a tween in the mid-80s, I *really* wanted to get into Maxx Steele's ROBO-Force (not to be confused with Mattel's Max Steel). I see now that a relaunch was attempted a couple of years ago, so I might look into that.

I do not think I would be surprised by that at all. He probably still thinks he is better than anyone working for him. JB: "Whats BROKEN Jeff Jarrett doing in the Impact Zone?" BJJ: Its DELIGHTFUL...slap nutz. Christ on a tricycle, don't give him any ideas!!

I think that Paul Orndorff should have beaten the Hulkster for the WWF World Championship; either at "The Big Event" in Toronto or that SNME where the two had their steel cage match which featured a tie/restart. That feud was white-hot at the time. Orndorff had all the tools (by 80s standards, anyway).

I bought a six boxes of MOTU, right off the bat when they first came out. I got 4X Trap Jaws and 2X Beast Man. One of the Beasties was missing his right arm.
Since then, I've just bought whom I've wanted via a FB group I'm in. People that go nuts and buy cases at a time are desperate to unload their commons for $5 or so each. Since then I've got Skeletor, Stratos, Evil-Lyn (yellow skin), Man-At-Arms, Tri-Klops, Man-E-Faces and of course, He-Man.
I'm still on the hunt for a cheap Teela and have resigned myself to the fact that I'll never own a Faker.
I feel that $13 each is way too much to be paying for a blind purchase. Just my $0.02.

Here's the worst part of that angle that REALLY chafes my hide.
So, let's look at how Arquette WON the darned thing. He went into a tag match, partnered up with then-WCW Champ DDP, against Jeff Jarrett & Eric Bischoff. If I remember correctly, Bischoff had finagled the rules so that whomever got the fall would be awarded the championship (in an effort to get the title immediately back onto Jarrett). They figured Arquette would be easy pickings.
ANYWAY, Arquette gets the pin on Bischoff, and is awarded the championship. DDP, who just LOST the championship on this ridiculous technicality, was raising Arquette's hand in victory and celebrating with him, like "AWWW YEAH, THIS GUY JUST WON *MY* WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP"
Seriously, what the heck (pardon my language)?!?!?! DDP should have turned heel and DESTROYED this idiot!
Anyway, the absolute best way they could have got the title off of him in my opinion, is in his first "defense" have him put it up against Scott Steiner, who would have absolutely murdered him in less than a minute. THAT would have brought a shred of legitimacy back to the belt.

I personally feel that this was a terrible, terrible idea. I find them each much more interesting together than separately.
That being said, if they HAD to pull the trigger on this angle, then it was probably done in the best way that it could have been.
Look at Enzo's face, with the dawning of realization washing over him. Genuine heartbreak. You can't help but sympathize for the lil' feller.

The only thing that I really got a charge out of during this scenario was Booker getting to use his old WCW catch phrase "Don't hate the player... HATE THE GAME" on a seriously personal level. I thought the catch phrase was cheesy as all get-out until he used it directly in Triple H's face, and then I was like "WOW".

Who in the bluest of blue hells was able to stuff Brock into that shark cage?? There's no way that he'd go in willingly.
