That Jeff looks ugly, somehow worse than the elite 75.
Also, wasn’t that Roman supposed to come with a new torso?

While that no holds barred set is cool for some collectors who were fans of the movie or fans during the time period I did not grow up in that era and I thought the movie was ing god awful nearly 30 years later. So it doesn’t hold any nostalgia for me.

Lmao,
But seriously, I think they’re going to show an early proto for a Cody Rhodes elite and ultimate. Might give the jazzware Cody’s a run for it’s money

These discussions here are so unnecessary. What's your problem? If you've ordered it, you'll get it. If you ordered it before the Macho deadline, you get Macho. Are you bored or why do you write such unnecessary stuff here. It doesn't matter if the order is visible or invisible on their website. You ordered, paid and that's it. Start writing about more interesting things. Lol

Did it specify on your guys order confirmation if it was early bird or not? I ordered the day the early bird special was going to expire at the end of that day, hope I don’t get jipped.

Probably more likely the end of Vince than the actual company. Which I’m very much looking forward to.

You know Kevin Dunn is getting crap canned the second Vince is no longer in control. What redeeming quality does that dude have? All the stupid camera jump cuts. You have heard stories of Stephanie hating him for long over a decade now That on top of the fact he makes so much money and he’s so disposable. They can get so many others to do his job and better. The only reason why he has a job is purely because of the fact his daddy saved all the archived tapes from a burning building, as legend has it.

The article says a former wrestler who was not renewed in 2005. Any guesses? Didn't Stacy Keibler leave in 2005? WWE didn't have a lot of women in that era and a lot of them who were signed were held on to past 2005. The other four women released in 2005 were Jackie Gayda, Dawn Marie, Molly Holly, and Christy Hemme My guess it’s either Dawn Marie or Christy Hemme.

It’s just a wait and see approach if investors and advertisers have any say in this and it effects the bottom line. If not, even though it’s very scummy what he has done, i don’t see them doing anything about it. Like others have mentioned, it’s just wrasslin’.

Mattel’s communication and PR has always been trash. It’s kind of scary to think that Steve actually gets paid for it. Mattel hasn’t said a damn thing about it because they know they don’t have to. At the end of the day, they’re going to put the bare minimum effort because they know that once this thing is released, everyone is going to forget about the lack of communication. The excitement over the actual product is going to be through the roof. All the conversation will shift to discussing the actual product, selling it, complaints about QC issues here and there, and then of course the next crowdfund. No significant number of people are just going to throw up their hands and say you know what I’m not buying any more Mattel product or participating in the next crowdfund because I didn’t get updates on this one. Matel knows this. Yeah they lied and said there would be frequent updates and Steve said like a month ago we were going to get an “cool update shortly.” Well, he lied. That shouldn’t surprise anyone at this point. ::cue the Mattel apologists and snowflakes with the “BUT BUT…”, “Steve doesn’t have to do anythinggg”, and “tHeY’Re jUsT tOyZ” comments:: If you’re this bothered by an action figure playset. I’m out shouldn’t be collecting dude. You’ll get your playset man, but there’s plenty of other things to get upset about, this is a silly thing to be upset by.

The Shelton Benjamin elite. It was completely different from the standard version. Plus, I kinda like the Gold Standard run

New Gen arena is too similar. If anything it’ll be the attitude era stage. How is Pipers Pit, Brother Love Show, and a cage too similar to a neon entrance and a ring? Well the blue curtain? We’re pretty much just getting a curtain entrance. Plus, I don’t see them making potentially 4 different talk show playsets unless they’re cutouts.

Golden Age arena wouldn’t be a bad idea. Do a blue entrance curtain, to the left of it Piper’s Pit with UE Piper and to the right Brother Love Show with elite Brother Love (Snake Pit with Jake or Funeral Parlor with Bearer if Prichard isn’t under a deal). Also include an elite scale blue bar cage and SNME skirt. Stretch goals could be a street clothes Macho, additional skirts from the era, possibly Mean Gene and the elevated stage (but bigger than what came with Vince). New Gen arena is too similar. If anything it’ll be the attitude era stage.

I like ROH and all but it’s not worth $10 million, and it’s damn sure not worth $40 million. The big thing lately has been owning content rights for streaming services. These big companies with streaming platforms have been buying up content for insane money lately. The thing about the WCW deal in 2001 is that no one saw value in having a vast tape library yet. They thought maybe they'd make some good money on owning the footage for some DVD releases, but never imagined what its turned into today. ROH has a really incredible archive of footage. They have thousands of hours of PPVs and recorded house shows and television episodes. And a lot of it features the rookie years of some of the biggest stars in wrestling -- the early days of CM Punk, Adam Cole, Bryan Danielson, Seth Rollins, etc etc etc. I don't know what media deals look like at all but that might not be such a crazy price considering the ways that collecting content has become so lucrative for a lot of businesses. I still think that number is insane. I might be wrong, but if/when AEW released a streaming service, I don’t think the ROH library will be a make or break for subscribers at all.

….you’re telling me TK spent nearly $40 million on ROH? That's just a rumor, and likely an inaccurate one. I think the actual sale price was probably closer to $10 million. Still more than WCW was. I like ROH and all but it’s not worth $10 million, and it’s damn sure not worth $40 million.

Fun fact, Vince McMahon paid this woman more for sex than he did for WCW, and Tony Khan paid 13x more to purchase Ring of Honor. And now you know ….you’re telling me TK spent nearly $40 million on ROH?
