With Jeremy’s latest tweet asking what AEW and ROH figures people want to see next, are they legally able to make an El Generico figure?

Not without Generico signed to a contract, and his WWE contract wouldn’t allow him to also do that

Could they make El Gene Rico, the create-a-wrestler name I used for old WWE games?
But in all seriousness, do other wrestling companies hold the rights to the likenesses and characters like WWE? That would help confirm

That would help confirm According to AFA they need the rights to the person under the likeness as well. They can’t just make “Doink” they need Matt Bourne signed |

Unless ROH did what TNA/impact did and had guys sign some weird merch deals that allowed them to make merch even after they have left the company. That's how they did the Abyss and Bobby Roode micro brawlers but I doubt it.

There is an El Generico micro brawler.

I'd love an El Generico! It'll never happen though.

Beyond the debate on if they could if they owned the gimmick, I'm pretty sure they don't since Sami's quasi-still active (especially for charity shirts) has had Generico stuff and there was the Brawler.

Even if Sami owns the gimmick, and no other company controls the rights, it would just be in bad faith to WWE that he signed a merch deal with Jazwares. Thus, HE wouldn't do it.

IDK Kevin Nash and Sabu both had WWE Classic Superstars while working for TNA.

Even if they could, they wouldn't get to it until 2033.

What happened to el Generico? Haven’t heard from him in years Retired from pro wrestling to take care of orphans in Mexico. Kevin Owens once said he passed away in Mexico but I think it's been confirmed as inaccurate.  Really looking forward to the debut of El Hijo de El Generico. |

Something about being found dead in a ditch I think? I don't think they're true, especially because I just read something last month that, when Kevin Steen retired, he claimed he was going to join him in Tijuana. Haven't seen the video, can't confirm, but honestly, if Generico did end up in a ditch, it's because that lunatic Steen put him there. |
