Possible Huge Hint On Comic Con Exclusive!!!

[Da Handsome 1]

My mind is racing like crazy now!

I guess we’ll find out in 2 months

Hid grandpa is not a wrestling fan doesn't follow so gotta think back to people that have cross over appeal.

Could be Ali. The Greatest Generation hated him for dodging the draft amongst other things like being a trash talker and joining the Nation of Islam and changing his name. Ali vs Monsoon or Inoki two pack perhaps or maybe WM1. Speaking of WM1, maybe Liberace as well. Another controversial figure because he was quite flamboyant.

My buddy at the toy shop just text me and said given the clues he's thinking Ali and Vince. This would be Vince's first ultimate too right?

[viper412]

Rodman or Tyson would be cool for sure

If a picture exists - which it apparently does - I’d say we will find out in 2 days as opposed to 2 months.

Also, let’s not overlook that Kyle eliminated 2 options in his last post.
“Personally I would love Lawler Kaufman, 100 times more and it’s not Iron Mike.”

It is NOT:
-Mike Tyson
-Andy Kauffman

Was Vince ever on camera at all at WM1? I don’t recall him there at all. Jesse and Gorilla did commentary and Mean Gene and Lord Alfred did backstage interviews. I can see ref Ali and Piper in the Panther shirt.

I think Rodman. I think an older guy would see a guy in a wedding dress and the arrogance and somewhat cross dressing and make up in a negative light. Along with a Hollywood Hogan with a new attire.

[Midnight: Dark Knight]

Kaufman and lawler make the most sense to me. A grandfather would surely hate the antics of kaufman

[Mongo Bears]

I’d love Rodman or Thunderlips

You may be right but here's another scoop from my buddy that owns a toy shop. If it is Rodman don't expect him to be paired with Hogan because Mattel isn't going to waste Hollywood Rules Hollywood Hogan Ultimate as a comic con exclusive when that figure alone will sell thousands at retail. Also he isn't being paired with Bischoff because nWo Bischoff is going to help sell the WCW ring. He isn't being paired with Macho Man because we just had an nWo Macho so who do you pair him with??? Don't sleep on Dennis Rodman and Karl Malone like my buddy said...

Oh yeah, Ali Vs Monsoon could make sense too.

It absolutely has to be Kaufman & Lawler. The Johnny Knoxville body is perfect for Andy Kaufman, and I seriously can’t see Mattel passing up another chance to reuse a body that has so much unique tooling. That set is perfect for a product aimed at collectors like SDCC.

No way they’re going to waste Bad Bunny on a release that limited when they could make so much more money with wider distribution.

I will be absolutely shocked if there’s not an Andy Kaufman figure involved.

Georgeous George was controversial because of the robes and make up so manly men would have hated his flamboyant look. George was big in 1950s as well. Maybe Bruno is the anchor or Buddy Roger's but man that would be so niche nowadays.

Leave those guys for PowerTown.

Those of you offering up wrestling ideas missed the post that says 96 year old grandpa doesn't know wrestling.

Kyle also said it’s a single release

[mightyone29]

My final guess is Pete Rose. Kyle's granddaddy probably didn't like the Cincinnati Reds in the 70s.

Yeah but I am pretty sure it’s been said or at least hinted at that this will be UE. Plus, I don’t think Kaufman really hits that nostalgic itch. His feud with Lawler was a regional storyline pre-rock n wrestling. Yes, the Letterman segment garnered national headlines at the time but a great majority of us never actually witnessed it as it happened. Most of us only know about it from clips and/or the Jim Carrey movie.
