He falls under the just because he wrestled doesn’t mean I need/want a figure of him category. Yeah, but I'm in the boat of "Hey, it's a new legend and he had his place in the history of wrestling and my growing up watching wrestlers...arguably larger than that of someone like an Isacc Yankem or a Shockmaster...so I'd like a figure of him" plus, we have the Austin from this feud (Flashback 3?) so it's not like he wouldn't have a place in the collection." Yeah he never did anything for me. And for me to want/buy a figure it has to be of someone who either brings back memories of watching wrestling with my father or I found entertaining watching. If there’s no fond memories or it’s a wrestler that I didn’t find entertaining then I certainly don’t need him on my shelves. And unfortunately Savio falls under that category for me. Very rarely do I stray from that. Usually if a figure reaches my shelf that didn’t meet my criteria it’s with a multipack that I purchased for the others in the set. |

Thought he did it real well. Some of the others listed on there are warranted though. Going back just a little further, a lot of finishers were pretty basic. For example, the Perfect-Plex. At one point, Shawn used a basic back suplex. One guy even just did a leg drop.  |

The impact would probably be worse than Earthquake's finisher (even though he weighed more) or a splash (Usos/Headshrinkers), Jeff Hardy's move, etc.. |

Translated over perfectly to the Whoopie Cushion. |

Basically, what you are telling me is you actually have self control. I have to buy every elite and Ultimate attire, look, and era of a figure if it’s a flashback or throwback themed figure with pre-late 2009 attire. |

Whatever he wore while feuding with Austin. That was his most memorable time for me.

I definitely want the 95-96 look, but I want the Nation of Domination look almost as much. Plus, I'd love a jailbird Crush to go along with it.  |

Baby face to go with Razor and it’s not even close for me. I actually don’t think we’ve ever had any company make that look in figure form (excluding Mitch’s upcoming). IIRC, his first BCA was NOD. If we did get his LB look, I’d need a Miguel Pérez. All covered in fur. All in on a fully flocked chase variant. 👍 |

What was so bad about it? Him and Owen did it perfectly. It literally looked like a legit threat when those two would hit them. |

No idea. 🤷♂️ I like Savio and think he was a perfectly fine wrestler. Mabel had a sweet spinning heel kick, too, for a guy his size. |

This should just be a chase with 95/96 look and nod as the chase then that way we've got both versions knocked out in one go and only takes up one spot for both

I think it was on the top 10 worst finishers list because it was a move that was used regularly as a non finisher so it didnt have that end of match look that other finishers have.
Sweet chin music, stunner, razors edge etc were all protected moves and wouldnt be used by anyone else, especially as a non finisher.
I honestly didnt remember his finisher at all until we started talking about it

Hey, remember sometimes Owen would use the running version of it to hit someone behind if there was chicanery or a distraction at ringside and end up pining his opponent off of that. Didn’t he win KOTR ‘94 like that? I remember him beating one of the Gunns, Flash Funk, and even Savio like that. |
