I'm guessing I'm the only one whose dream set is Billy Jack Haynes and Adrian Adonis. Could there possibly be a set more unlikely than that one? Maybe McMahon/Snuka?

Adonis is pretty high up on my wishlist honestly, but I'd rather see him paired with Orton or Jimmy Hart. Haynes wasn't really one I was looking forward to before the murder charge but it is a shame to have another name permanently crossed off the list considering we're already down McMahon, Snuka, and likely Dynamite, Barbarian, and Patera |

Billy Jack would make more sense packaged with Herc.

Barbarian and Patera though, I dont see why they would be permanently crossed off. Involvement in the lawsuit doesn't seem to be an issue for other names. And not sure what would be up with Patera either...thr mcdonalds->prison thing is ancient history and his LJN was made after that happened anyway and he even had a Jakks figure years later too. I think the only ones truly off the table are Vince,Haynes,Snuka and probably Dynamite. |

Someone remind me why Dynamite would always be off the table? Sure he’s said some things about wwe/vince, but who hasn’t? He had a classic superstar fig.
And to pile on, yes, I’d love an Adorable Adrian Adonis. He was super entertaining and great in the ring. Very memorable character from that era.

With Dynamite, i believe its the domestic abuse issues with his ex-wife. Adonis...im actually a fan of both versions of him-nyc tough guy/relax with trudy persona as well as the adorable gimmick. Also first guy i believe to use a sharpshooter in the WWF lol. |

I would have loved a Billy Jack and Hercules set, but with the murder of his wife, I don't see that happening. Not really sure why Hercules has been excluded. I remember hearing that he left the WWF on bad terms back in 1992, but if that was an issue with Vince, that shouldn't stop him from getting figures now if they can sign him. Adonis would probably go better with Jimmy Hart or Bob Orton (pink hat). But that might not be a big seller, he would probably need a big name to anchor the set. Had they not already done Piper, a set with Piper and Adonis would have been great. |

I think the only ones truly off the table are Vince,Haynes,Snuka and probably Dynamite. Yeah, Billy Jack said some very outlandish things for a long time about Vince and the WWF. With Vince gone, that might have been the time to get him signed, but with the murder charge, I think that ship has sailed. Yeah, not really sure why Barbarian and Patera have not been signed. I know Barbarian was signed back around Elite 50, but then the lawsuit happened. A lot of those guys were blacklisted for a little while, but a few of them have returned and gotten figures. Wasn't Warlord also a part of the lawsuit? Barbarian and Patera figures would be great signings. |

Billy Jack would make more sense packaged with Herc. Of course, but none of the pairings of two singles competitors have made sense besides Snake/Rude. They tried to force a connection with Hulk/Terry but kind of gave up after that. I'm most interested in getting figures I want released. Also, I like the random pairings. They remind me of the LJN value packs from back in the day.  |

Dynamite was invited backstage and took pics with guys in the early 2000s, so I don’t see how he’s black balled. He may of been a bully outside the ring, but definitely one of the best in ring performers of all time imo. |

I agree with the potential hypocrisy in black listing one talent but not another for theoretically similar offenses. However, Dynamite’s history of reported domestic abuse and bullying behavior is so well documented (and severe) that I’m guessing they simply wouldn’t want to attach themselves to him regardless. |
