Ultimate Edition Saturday Night's Main Event Ring with Exclusive Jesse Ventura Action Figure confirmed! I get the joke, but this is actually something I would buy. That said if they make Jesse it shouldn’t be locked behind a ring purchase. |

Not to give them ideas, but if they could work the Ring, Jesse, 2 other era appropriate talents, and a blue cage as a crowdfund package at a $300-ish pricepoint I personally think it would kill. |

I doubt they’ll release another ring with the same color scheme as the New Gen ring. That being said, I can see them doing a WCW Saturday Night Ultimate Ring with Jesse.

You'd need about a dozen more talents and half the price to make that palatable for today's consumer. |

That's literally my dream ring. The New Gen ring would be out the door so fast!

Its the same exact ring. You would just need updated skirts. |

You'd need about a dozen more talents and half the price to make that palatable for today's consumer. Possibly, but I would argue it matches the current market. Nitro ring with 1 figure is currently $140. Ultimate 2 packs are $70-$80. That already puts us in the $210- $220 range with out the addition of a cage. They've held the price point for the rings and 2 packs and are only making more at that price point if not higher so I imagine they must be seeing the sales for those prices somewhere. Maybe make it 4 figures for the $300 price point. Using all names I believe are under contract, could you really tell me a ring with a cage and Ultimates of Ventura, Hulk Rules Hogan (token), and Mr. Perfect with a hammer smashed World Title wouldn't sell? Add in a Bobby the Brain with a swapable/reversable cloth jacket for good measure if he's available. That seems like a totally reasonable offering. |

I know. But with three rings out there and a fourth on the way, and still no ring accessory packs on the horizon, I'd end up needing to grab that if I wanted an SNME ring. If they do a Golden Era themed ring they'd need to do something different, like add a big blue cage instead of an exclusive figure.

Look what they just did with Rhea they know everyone wanted that ultimate so they locked with yet another damn ring. Some kids parents gonna get hounded for that figure and they’re gonna have to buy a $150 dollar set to get the most popular female on the rosters figure. Personally think Mattel’s a bunch of bungholes for doing that to people who collect modern characters and parents. They knew exactly what they were doing with that one |

They knew exactly what they were doing with that one Well they wouldnt do SNME cuz it’s essentially reproducing the same exact ring offered in the crowdfund minus the skirts which they said they wouldn’t do. They would more than likely do WCW or some other variant of the ring. That being said, they’ve always bundled figs with rings. It is what it is. |

Personally think Mattel’s a bunch of bungholes for doing that to people who collect modern characters and parents. They knew exactly what they were doing with that one I get releasing the ring with the Kane figure - it was a version of a character that has been out multiple times, and was a way of getting a RAW IS WAR ring out there. I get releasing the ring with the Bischoff figure - same thing, plus it was an ultimate figure that probably would not have done as well as a regular figure in a regular line, or even the MNW line I don't get this choice with Rhea - this seems like WAAAY too much of a cash grab. Leaves a bit of a bad taste in my mouth, and I certainly will not be getting it. I have enough Rheas and this one can be missing from my collection. |

Crowdfunding is for playsets that they don’t have the tooling for yet. They already have the ring tooled so a new crowdfund won’t include a ring.

Throw in a couple of ultimates like Cactus Jack, Ron Simmons, and whoever else they could come up with, and it'd be perfect. Ideally, this is where we’d also finally get Johnny B. Badd. |
