I am guessing its called that, because its supposed to be a "Defining Moment" in that person's career. On the box of each it has a date/event of what the figure is supposed to represent. Like on Stone Cold it was from a specific Raw, etc. So with that said...
1) Shouldn't Scott Hall's figure have been his WCW invasion, and not just a typical Razor outfit? So we should have gotten a Hall that is shirtless with a denim vest? That was the most defining moment of his career, then they could have made a Razor outfit as a regular Elite down the road or a RSC Exclusive or something.
2) Hulk Hogan's attire I love, he I guess, could have had several diff career "Defining moments" - I was too young to know the big event of Hogan vs Andre at WM3, BUT, for me and many like my age, his career defining moment would have been Bash at the Beach 1996, biggest heel turn in wrestling history.
3) Sting's obviously is fitting and needs to stay that way.
WITH THAT SAID, what are some other huge career "defining moments" you can think of?
1) Y2J debut 2) Goldberg debut in WWE? (I know he was bigger in WCW so I would say his WCW championship win with regular black trunks or his cool jacket outfit in his WWE debut) 3) Would be cool for maybe a bloody stone cold figure from his match with Bret Hart

For Hogan, I think a bigger "Defining Moment" would be the red/yellow attire that he wore at Bash At The Beach - when the nWo was formed..... but I'm fine with the choice they made, as it represents WrestleMania 3 - which was another of Hogan's "Defining Moments".
I can justify the Razor Ramon gear - he's wearing the same purple gear he wore when he LOST to the 1-2-3 Kid, which was a "Defining Moment" of sorts.... it was an awesome angle and totally unexpected - a match that put BOTH guys in the spotlight - and on the road to stardom! Since we're already getting an X-Pac - I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see a matching 1-2-3 Kid down the road, then we'll be able to recreate this great "Moment".....
Mattel kind of threw the concept of a "Defining Moment" out the window with Ric Flair - since he's wearing a combination of attire that he NEVER actually wore, as far as I can prove....
It's not really a "Defining Moment" if it never really happened. If he were wearing the black trunks from Royal Rumble '92 - now THAT would be a true "Defining Moment".

We are complaining about the return of high budget elite figures ? Starting off with the debuts of Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, Razor Ramon, and Sting
I can't even

Maybe Mattel needed an ego boost and wanted the "defining moment" to be Flair's first Mattel figure.

Other DM... 1) Harley Race during his NWA run as well as King Harley Race run. 2) Nick Bockwinkel during any of his championship reigns. AWA seems to get the shaft where figures are concerned. 3) Ric Flair Starrcade '83 event when he won the NWA title from Harley Race. 4) Early Macho Man or WM3 Macho Man. We still have not had a savage in a robe yet and I think that is absolutely brutal of Mattel! You made a robe for Ric so make one for Savage!

Ric Flair's is just a basic box, not a specific "Moment".

Goldberg - WCW World and US Titles Jericho - Undisputed Champion HBK - WM 12 " His boyhood dream has come true'l Hulk Hogan - WM18 / WM 3 / Starcade 1998 Technically the HBK has been made just not DM. It was an EG (Entrance Great). Only thing is those were basics bit the fig and attire looked nicely done.

They're not *THE* Defining Moment of a career but a Defining Moment. I dont believe any of the DM figures that have been released or will be released would be considered *the* defining moment of their career....but they're still a defining moment and the figures are awesome.

91 bulldog Grey gloved undertaker Wm3 savage Neon cowboy savage
More d.ms please... Who cares about the name or moment as long as they don't mismatch attires again
I just think of it as a way to get in more accessories (which doesn't always happen but if it gets us a highly deco savage with a jacket, shades and hat then he'll ya)
Especially if they pop off the shelves right nivro

Yup. Although I'd say WrestleMania 3 is the defining moment for Hulk Hogan, if you had to narrow his career down to be defined by one match it'd be that one vs Andre.

"Defining Moments" can be determined a few different ways. A series of figures in their defining moment of that persons career, or defining moments in wrestling as a whole, or one of many defining moments of ones career. Was "This Is Your Life" really the top 'defining moment' of The Rocks career? No. It was a main one and broke ratings sure, but its one of many defining moments. And i think thats the idea behind the name. But who cares? Look at the amazing figures this line has been given! It could have been called the 'Hey Buy This Figure' line and i would have
Others id like to see: Undisputed Y2J w/ titles and entrance shirt Pipe Bomb CM Punk w/ SCSA shirt and mic (probably more suited for flashback but thats a defining moment if i ever saw one) Dude Love w/ headband and rose glasses Gangrel w/ purple tights, cloth shirt, sunglasses and goblet (i want Gangrel damnit lol) ABA Long Hair Undertaker w/ jean vest, sunglasses, bandana, and leather jacket
Hogan is a fantastic, pretty damn perfect figure, but i still cant get over how excited i am for a Razor Ramon!

It's just a name for the series. They could have called it "Expensive Line of Elite Figures with Many Accessories" but it doesn't sound catchy.
