You've gotta be f#cking kidding me. Punish the rest of the nWo in the way of royalties, punish fans by eliminating sought after merchandise of people who had nothing to do with the comments that were made 8 years ago by someone who isn't even them. I don't even think the most staunch Hogan basher would support this one. Sounds like BS. This was already an overreaction, but I could at least understand some form of action (although I think the action was wrong). Going to the point of removing merchandise of people who ever associated with him? I can honestly say I will not support a company like that. I've already been on the fence about sticking with them over the Hogan thing, but if this is true I am done. Cancelling the network, done watching Raw, done buying any merch, f#ck that. Punishing for "guilt" by association is far more offensive to me than someone who was just raped in a divorce, who was paying ridiculous legal fees because of his goony son's reckless driving, and who quite frankly had a really $#!tty life at the time, making thoughtless, insensitive remarks that were taped without his consent nearly a decade ago.

Did you guys know that John Cena slammed Andre the Giant at WrestleMania 3? I just read it in the post National Enquirer article edition of the WWE Encyclopedia.
Pulling Hogan's merchandise I can understand. Pulling NWO merchandise is unnecessary unless Hogan is pictured on it.

My question is when will Mattel comment on all of our speculation. I feel like we deserve a comment from Bill or somebody at Mattel. He's already admitted to paying close attention to these boards so we know he's seen our confusion over the matter. Even if it's a simple recognition that they are "trying to figure things out" or that "they are working on it" would suffice.
As far as this Scott Hall figure goes, surely RSC may have further comments on the matter as well.

I can't recall the source, but if you go to a page that should have nWo merch, it says that the page is not available. I really hope that the figure isn't affected, but with the way they have been reacting to this situation, it wouldn't surprise me. EDIT: Source is an article on Wrestlinginc.com Thank you. Its very strange but i doubt ringside would stop this figure after the preorders

Imagine if Cena ever got this treatment. Mattel would go out of business.

Chris Benoit was in the four horsemen. Don't release any four horsemen merch, guys!

Whoever theses investors are that are potentially leaving because of the racist remarks, must be paying everyone's salaries. I can't believe Vince McMahon would allow the media and the rest of the world dictate his product and sales. I understand the firing of Hulk Hogan, I don't understand this cleanse to remove all traces of him and his past.

Man, isn't it ironic that after years of waiting, we were finally set to get a Scott Hall figure, after we got a Razor Ramon earlier, and somebody else f's it up? Not even Scott Hall screwed this up. WWE's Benoit Blackout of Hulk Hogan the entire friggin nWo did it. If they force RSC/MDT to change it, that may be the last straw for me. Between a crap product not named NXT, the power struggle that has caused Emma, Adam Rose, Ascension, & Bo Dallas to flounder and could strike Owens next, and what could possibly be a big middle finger to Nash & Hall, who cleaned his life up to the point it makes me cry to think about what he was like not even 3 years ago, I'm no longer seeing a reason to like WWE.

This is what happens when you're a publicly traded company who has to cater to sponsors and shareholders. I doubt Scott's Mattel figure is in danger, but after this, I can't see them pursuing the nWo without its centerpiece in Hollywood Hogan.

If this happens I am en done with Mattel and WWE. 0 reason to be done with Mattel. It would be out of their control. Obviously if it was up to them they would release every figure they could think of.

I doubt that all NWO merch is cancelled, but if so, I have no words for that kind of action.
