I’ve never understood why WWE barely acknowledges Pedro. He wasn’t Bruno but he was still a pretty big part of their early history WWE's version of history has always been problematic. I think it's gotten a lot worse over the past 15-20 years as WWE has been the only narrative out there. They way Pedro was basically written out has always seemed odd, particularly given how much WWE has struggled to build major Latino stars. When Pedro left he wanted nothing to do with the WWF. He skipped the Hall of Fame induction to do commentary for WCW. When he retired from commentary, he wanted nothing to do with wrestling. |

Today we all saw new images for a lot of figures. On of which is the Decade of Dominance Randy Orton. In the early renders we say he would have the accurate small arms. The new photos show the inaccurate larger arms. I'm going to rant about those godawful arms and the shoulder joints. Those giant arms and shoulders have been on figures like Randy Orton, Dolph Ziggler, Kofi Kingston, Mr. Perfect, and Buddy Murphy. None of those guys have giant ripped arms. I've never seen those arms on a big guy where it would be accurate (now that I think about it they MIGHT have been on a Ryback). When I see those arms I know one thing, the shoulders will be terrible. Those shoulders NEVER move right, they are always too tight. Now if I want to get that Randy Orton figure, I have to find an old basic to arm swap. I think that new Matt Riddle Elite has them too. I bet Rick Rude and Eddie Guerrero will too. I hate those arms, I really do. Besides that major inaccuracy that Randy figure is epic so I might just try and overlook it as hard as it may be. They don't look THAT bad, but I just know the shoulders will be awful.

Not nit-picking or moaning about it. But I wondered did Hollywood ever wear the feather boas in wcw? I was under the impression that he only used them during his final WWE run Yes, he wore them every now and then. I believe he started wearing them in late 1998.  |

Billy Graham will have a tie dye shirt! That saves me buying a don muraco figure only for the shirt  You may still have to, he didn't say which ty-dye shirt he will come with, he could come with this:  True, but I’m not picky so it should work for me as long as it’s tye dye. I didn’t even want old man graham but I think it’s cool anyways. I actually hope it’s the one in that pic for the younger version. I don’t need the boa I wish they did a bandana instead. It’s  ing awesome no matter what!  |

I always liked the idea Ryder had been pitching for over a year now on their Podcast about the 3-1 Edgeheads thing, really glad they made it.
Also can’t get over how amazing that Legends Eddie is gonna be. Exactly what I was hoping for in an Eddie Elite. If it comes with the I’m Your Papi shirt it could be one of the best ever

Dude... really?
Today was awesome. It was great to see new figures to take our minds of the current situation. Stop ruining this place for other collectors

Damn i dont know how you guys notice these little/subtle things and then can be so distressed about it. Ive looked through the new pics on my own multiple times and again with my son. Not once did i notice something like “wrong arms”. Actually for once I wasn’t thinking about all the craziness in the world and death going on right now and was just enjoying the moment.
Maybe if you were an essential worker like my wife and i are right now, out in this madness on a daily basis, “wrong arms” on a toy would be the least of your worries.

First off, respect to you and your wife for still working during this. But I don't have a job to begin with. I'm a 16 year old idiot who's only concern most of the time is wrestling figures. |

I'm surprised Drake Mavrick doesn't come with a 24/7 title, since he has very low deco.
I hope Hollywood Hogan could still come with a NWO shirt
Very smart head choices for the Edge. I could see him selling out quick becuase collectors are buying two to make the Egdeheads

When Pedro left he wanted nothing to do with the WWF. He skipped the Hall of Fame induction to do commentary for WCW. When he retired from commentary, he wanted nothing to do with wrestling. Why? I think it was more of where the business was heading after him. But he knew the business had to change. I don't think he did that many fan conventions either. I know he did one with Bruno because it was a big deal. But outside of that, he was done with wrestling and wanted to live a low profile life. |

Just stick it in the thread everyone’s already in instead of bringing big attention to it with its own thread.
There are bigger things to rant about so we don’t need your thread
