Absolutely tremendous stuff last night. Haven’t felt this good after watching a wwe ppv in a long time. The Wyatt stuff was abysmal. Too gimmicky and was pretty horrible. The men’s rumble match was nearly flawless. The women’s had some pretty sloppy spots but I’m happy Rhea won
Now that main event. Wow. Best payoff to a story that there’s been in such a long time. Haven’t been this excited for a road to mania in a long time. It goes to show, you absolutely don’t need The Rock or any legacy star to create compelling stories. Just commit to long-term, logical stories that everyone can get invested in, then everyone will buy in be interested. It’s kind of disappointing knowing Vince is going to get his grubby hands on this stuff again. Enjoy this while it lasts.

Why would it bother you that they’re re-releasing these? unless you’re planning to sell the ones you have. They’re going to be around the same price they were when they were first released so why does that bother you. If you bought them on the secondary market and spent more, that’s nobodies problem but yours. That’s the risk you take.
Shut up about how Mattel does business and worry about the quality of the stuff you’re buying.

1999 2000 2001 2004 2006 2007 2008
Also as far as recent ones, 2020 was absolutely fantastic.
Last years was absolutely dreadful.

Very unfortunate news.
The fact that he’s trying to spin this news as he’s coming back to sell the company is complete bullsh*t lie. At the very same time he said he’d block any negotiation or deals for the next tv rights deal.
It’s just a power play. I do expect the product to suffer. Even though he said he isn’t going to mess with the current regime, I don’t believe a word he says.
….BUT, if they do in fact sell, I don’t think whoever buys is going to want Vince anywhere near the product, especially after these allegations.

They’re going to have to retool the pants mold if they choose to do his new boot design, otherwise the figure will be way too tall.

Nothing including Dwayne.
Why bother and why go through all the trouble to book around him. Sounds like it’s 50/50 at this point. The tickets are sold and I don’t see the sense of booking Rock for a one-off.
Cody vs Reigns makes all the sense in the world.

Problems I have with this set:
1) Every figure’s gear is absolutely bland other than Andre’s. 2) I like Becky, but she has no business being in this set. 3) Stunning Steve should have been saved for the legends line. Elite 100 should commemorate Stone Cold since he’s never been featured in the main elite line. They could just given us black trunks with one of his colorful knee braces. Or include him with one of the many shirts he’s worn with promo gear. 4) The Rock is an absolute mash-up. Never had that hair wearing that gear and jersey. 5) Rey is horribly inaccurate. 5) Very very disappointing packaging. Black on top of black on top of some gold. I appreciate the different backdrop each figure has but the packaging could have been so much more.
Overall, very disappointed in the execution of this set. I expected a home run, especially since this is the 100th series.
4/10 at best.

Honestly, Andre is probably my favorite Ultimate made so far. It’s perfect. If that’s who we got to replace Jarrett, massive step up for me. Seth looks good too. Wish it was the Wrestlemania 38 gear but I’m happy he’s in the line. Glad they are releasing Harley again but wish it were saved for the Coliseum Collection. Please tell me what shirt Owens is wearing so I know whether I want to pre order. Call it a Christmas gift. You wanted them to save Harley for the Coliseum collection? I’d rather them do this because it’ll probably be cheaper.

Got mine today. The Heyman is great. Face is unreal. Same height as the BAF. Torso is thicker. Roman's head and shirt are going on the Ultimate torso. Brock's flannel is going to his new Ultimate too. I was thinking the Heyman was a bit too tall, it might look that way compared to Brock because Brock is definitely too short. Good to know it’s as tall as the BAF. But I do like the new head on Roman. Not sure if this is worth the price, atleast for me.

I just don’t see how that would happen. It would tarnish the reputation of the company. They gained a lot of good will when he stepped down.
I don’t think he can ever show his face again on-screen, that’s for sure

I don’t think he did it. But he put her in the situation for that to happen by taking her passport. If she never met him she’d still be alive.
He’s a total piece of crap scumbag con-artist.
One of the worst people to get into wrestling. I knew that prior to the documentary but this was just absolutely wild.

He should be the one to take the titles off Roman.

ive actually encountered a ton of tight shoulder joints. i think its due to the double joint arm transition and the upgraded shoulder pieces that come along with them. lots of shoulder pieces that seem too big for the joint opening in the torso Same here, but once I heat up the joint to loosen it up, it just completely goes loose.

I've had perhaps 1 out of 10 be on the loose side. I wouldn't say it was infuriating though. You seem to be on the lucky side. Everything I buy, it’s like guaranteed something is going to be wrong with it. One of the reasons why I slowed down a bit. Funny enough, nothing wrong with the ultimates.
