DM Hogan, I didn’t collect flashbacks then. E17 Zack Ryder E24 Trish RSC Edge RSC ECW Punk
Not gonna include all the figures I missed out on before I started collecting. But I constantly beat myself over the head for missing out on those early elites/legends/DM

So it’s Seth vs Drew at MITB?
Seth loses his match at WM and that entitles him to a title match? Typical WWE booking.

Taker hasn’t been the same because he keeps coming back despite the fact that he CANNOT go anymore. WM28 should have been his swan song. His WM29 match against Punk was his last true great match and that was because Punk carried him. The match against Brock needed to happed the way it did. That streak needed to end eventually to give the rub to someone and Brock was the perfect candidate for that. The problem is Brock’s lack of effort and McMahon salivating over getting Roman over killed what that streak meant. The guy who beat Brock would’ve been made and they wasted years trying to convince fans that Roman was that guy and nobody bought it. Then they had Brock lose 55 year old ing Goldberg..... ing awful

She's great for the celeb aspect if you need to toss a big name into a match for a one off, something like Mania or SummerSlam but as an every day worker, god no. She was beyond awful. She was green as baby crap and it shown with how many people she hurt/injured in matches. All her moves except judo throws looked fake as hell and you could hear her calling spots in the ring. On top of that from the moment Flair, Sasha & Becky walked out on RAW to the time Bliss lost the title to Ronda, the womens division was flourishing. They were getting as much if not more attention then the men because they were all bringing it. Evolution PPV was being talked about with those girls on top, before Ronda ever jumped on board. As soon as Ronda came in she literally steam rolled every woman on the roster that she faced until she lost to Becky. She singled handedly put the womens division on life support and the past year Becky has done her best to finish it off. Main roster womens wrestling has gone the path of tag team wrestling where there's no way in hell someone in NXT or another company want to move to the main WWE roster knowing the trash that lies ahead. ....ok now so who did she injure?

I thought she was doing great...then fans pissed on her for no reason at all, as I can see right here on this thread. But she’s a natural heel and she should embrace that when she comes back. What she needs to realize is that fan reactions, either positive or negative, is all you need in this day and age because wrestling fans will turn on anything at any moment. One day you’re the beloved flavor of the month, then you’re the most hated man/woman on the roster for absolutely no reason. You need thick skin to be in this business and Ronda lacks that. She couldn’t handle the losses in UFC and when fans started turning on her in WWE, she wanted out.

Didn’t know where to put this thread so I guess this is the place to put it. So I bought tickets to Smackdown in Chicago for March 27th, about 2 weeks before this whole pandemic and lockdown went into effect. I bought them straight from the Allstate arena box office in cash, which now looking back was a mistake, should’ve just bought it with credit/debit card. Well the box office and the arena are closed and I have no idea how I’m gonna get my money back lol. Guess I have to wait until the box office opens back up.

I think they couldn’t include the X on Rollins chest because they might have gotten flagged for it being to similar to X-men? Possibly. But if you can’t do the attire the right way, don’t do it at all. He’s worn plenty of other attires that you could have used. Reigns is a straight re-release of an attire he hasn’t worn in 2 years. Strowman is at least different enough for me to consider picking it up since its pretty accurate to what he wears now. Ricochet is cool and I’ll definitely pick him up.

Bret comes to mind instantly. As soon as he left for WCW it was the beginning of the end for his career.
Triple H comes to mind as well. And I guess you can make a case for AJ Styles based on popularity and high profile matches. But in most cases, wrestlers have their best work outside WWE. I won’t get into the reasons why as we could all assume.

I feel like that Taker/AJ “match” was much better than what they had originally intended it to be if Mania was gonna happen as planned in a stadium with fans. You work around Takers physical limitations and you throw a bunch of cool special effect and gaga in there and some how it worked. I dug it.

Cool to see Charlotte. I’m actually surprised we haven’t had that many figures of her considering she’s one of the top stars. Probably because she rots on the pegs. I think they over-packed so many figures of her for E54. There was a Walmart near me that got a box with nothing but Charlottes and Cenas. It was the weirdest thing.

Not sure if this has been answered. But will Fiend come with an entrance jacket or just the accessories that were shown? AFA said no jacket. Dammit. I still preordered

Dude they could just do the pop up stages like they recently did and that would totally work. I would want:
‘96-‘98 Nitro stage ‘02-‘07 Raw stage ‘98-‘01 Raw is War stage Wrestemania 20, 21, & 22 stage

....am I the only one thinking that he might get punished for this? Of course they honored it, he’s been in remission for a year and is immunocompromised, but I’m sure Vince is pissed. It sounds outrageous during these unprecedented times but you never know with Vince

The articulation could be better. The new diaphragm mold actually hinders articulation. Yeah you can pivot side to side but the forward and back motion isn’t all that great, it’s better with an elite. The double jointed elbows are nice and interchangeable heads/arms are cool. I’m disappointed we don’t have proper ankle pivot, and I would definitely prefer that over the toe articulation. Overall, it’s pretty good but it could be better.
