I've seen some people guessing on Twitter about the possibility of it being William "Refrigerator" Perry due to the fact Mattel showed a Wrestlemania 2 Shirt at the most recent reveals at Mania, so maybe?

Controversial to someone in their 90s?
I’m going Muhammad Ali.
Imagine an Inoki/Ali two pack.

It's Bob Barker. Somebody doesn't like to get their pets spayed or neutered.

I’d guess Rose, but we basically already have that Kane, so that wouldn’t be great.
I could see it being Ali….and Monsoon? I don’t see Inoki, but maybe. I don’t know who he’d go with from Wrestlemania 1 as a ref unless we somehow got Snuka in cloth goods with wrestling attire underneath (which would be f#cking amazing). Piper is about to be released in CC, and I could see Orton and Orndorff in CC shortly as well (possibly in the same wave), so I don’t see either of them being the guy here, and there’s no reason for a Wrestlemania 1 Hogan re-release as an exclusive. Also, a ref figure seems like a waste of Ali.
Other than those two I really don’t know, and even those two I don’t know who they’d go with besides the obvious (already released) choices. Trump? Billy Martin? Steinbrenner? Ozzy? G. Gordon Liddy? Lawrence Taylor? That Bill Clinton impersonator from Wrestlemania 10?
Actually LT would work since we don’t have Bigelow in that attire. I don’t even think that attire has ever been released in wrestling figure form come to think of it.

Maybe Kyle's grandfather is from Minnesota and didn't like Jesse as a governor. Plus he showed Jesse a lot in the video he made that mentioned the mystery figure. McMahon/Ventura Saturday Night's Main Event/Coliseum Collection 2 pack. |

Kane Pete Rose two pack with a cloth San Diego chicken costume. This or Trump(but that doesn't seem likely) Don't know why but I would actually buy Rose/Kane,especially if we get the chicken suit. I can have a San Diego chicken and a turkey in my collection,sounds fun. |

The key words here are CROSSOVER APPEAL.
Crossover:
Does he/she have a brand outside of WWE? A “second act”? Tied to something that creates almost a second fan segment to touch?
(Bad Bunny, Tyson, Slaughter)
Appeal:
In this “second act”, are they likable?
YES: Bad Bunny, Slaughter, Mr. T
MAYBE / NO: Pete Rose, Trump, Jesse, Tyson, Kauffman
Ultimately, it doesn’t make a lot of sense for Mattel to ride out an option that has any layer of controversy around it. Too many other safer routes that don’t lead to the headaches and commentary that comes with a possible risky decision.
***And I know it’s not Bad Bunny based on the clues. (Unless he did something to upset Kyle’s grandfather when he was only an infant)
