You could say what you want about Ryback but that mother er got huge reactions in late 2012. Never got his comeuppance against The Shield when he should have. He could have been a big player. I thought for sure in 2010 Wade Barrett would have gotten a shot, but they never pulled the trigger. Agreed on Ryback. Guy was screwed from the moment they forced him into the Punk feud for an injured Cena. Vince was so dead set on doing Rock/Cena 2 at WM29 that Ryback was sacrificed to build to that rather than capitalize on his momentum. What’s worse is that he was still over come WM29, but rather than give him a win over the far past-his-prime Mark Henry, they had Henry go over (and the manner in which he won made Ryback look like a total idiot). Yeah didn’t Henry like fall on top of him or something? Then he pinned him I thought it was a total botch job. But yeah, he was still popular despite him taking numerous losses. Ryback comes off as a goof at times, but I do have sympathy for him as his push was completely sabotaged.

At Smyths, elite 24 (specifically Trish) and elite 39 (specifically Sid) must go down as some of the worst selling. That’s funny because I couldn’t find Trish anywhere at retail over here in the states. On the other hand, Sid did rot the shelves for quite awhile.

Did you look in the isle or at the endcap. I was there like 2 hours ago. Yep, the employee I asked was very knowledgeable. He even showed me where the end cap was going, by the baby yoda dolls. Well maybe they put it out later because they’re definitely there, another member here found it after I posted it.

Found a few AEW figures at Walmart in Naperville. They have 1 Jericho, 5 Omegas, and 2 Cody figures. If anyone has an extra Nick Jackson please let me know. Last one I need. Willing to spend a little extra. I was there this morning and told they had nothing. Did you look in the isle or at the endcap. I was there like 2 hours ago.

Crystal lake Walmart has 2 Jerichos and 1 Cody as of now. Also have all the UFC guys. Was that on a shipper display?

Nia Jax and it’s not even close. Awful wrestler. Awful promo. Zero charisma. No redeeming qualities as a performer.

I don’t know why they wanted him him back. It’s only going to garner negative attention. The perception of him has probably soured for so many people. You sure as hell can’t push him.

The one I picked up definitely has loose ankles. But nothing horrible, still able to stand. It also has a loose right wrist. I think the peg hole was a little big and didn’t fit all too tight. Those are the only QC issues I ran into.

Fantastic babyface champion. He’s everything that Vince wishes Roman could be and much more. Wish they could have booked him like this from the second he got called up from NXT. The only thing that sucks is that he’s with the strap during the pandemic era, and I hope that Vince isn’t foolish enough to pin that on him. I think if things were normal, Drew would be massively over. Sadly, Randy is probably going over at Summerslam. Then it’s going to be painfully obvious that Randy will be defending the title against Edge at next years Mania. Continuing the vicious cycle of relying on relics from the past which gets us nowhere. I hope I’m wrong about this though.

Was able to get Kenny and Nick Jackson at the Walmart from Montgomery. From what an employee told me they got 2 packages and one of the packages had mysteriously disappeared. Still says 6+ are in stock.

It looks like huge shipper displays for AEW figures and UFC are coming so I think we’ll be able to eventually find these

It’s weird i saw the same thing. But in the Walmart app it says that they’re in stock and ready for pickup. I went over there earlier and there wasn’t anything Did you order them when it said in stock and ready for pick up? No it said pick up in store or preorder for September delivery
