I'm looking at this from a strictly "they did every look" ring attire pov. I feel like The Rock is pretty much done. Maybe there's a time he wore teal trim on his logo or something like that that we don't have, but we have all of his looks outside of very minor color variations. All his different haircuts, all his various tattoo designs. We will still obviously get Rock figures, but they'll be minor updates of existing stuff. Terry Funk probably wore some color variations of his standard basic tights, but he's someone I'm pretty content with. Unless we're going into street clothes, which I consider outside of the scope of this post. That said, if they made a Funk in cowboy boots and jeans, sign me up! I'll have to find a cheap 6 inch scale horse figure for him to punch! Mick Foley/Mankind I'm pretty content with. The upcoming WCW Cactus Jack could even double as a very early jobber/AWA Foley if you take the shirt off. If we wanna get technical, I guess we could still use a referee WrestleMania XV Foley. Steve Austin feels complete. Anything going forward is just going to be different T-shirts and jeans/shorts/jackets. And Austin had like, 4,000 different shirts. I'm pretty content with his pre-WWE looks, although I'm sure there's a million generic tights variations we haven't received. Greg Valentine has pretty much one look outside of Rythym N Blues, with just different color variations. We have both yellow and black tights, that feels like enough. Nope, now that Rock's back for a run with Roman, we will need the updated tattoo Rock lol. |

Warrior isn’t even in like the top 30 names in the companies history. lol This is objectively false. Very few wrestlers ever transcend the business and make their way into the zeitgeist of pop culture but Warrior is one of them. Main evented Wrestlemania and handed hogan his first real clean loss and had a year long run with the WWF title during a time when it meant something. He’s not too 10. Maybe not too 20. But definitely top 30. |

I know there’s like 1000 Cenas, but I really want a Unforgiven 2006 TLC Cena in camo with white sneakers and white wrist bands. Was like my favorite time in wrestling

Hogan Andre Savage Warrior Taker Flair Austin Rock Brock Cena Batista are probably the biggest names in WWF/E history. Sure there are better wrestlers and/or guys who have accomplished more but none are a bigger name. |

George Steele needs a Superstars, possibly a retro if he doesn’t already have one, but there’s really nothing else they can do with him. If we are talking about being added to other lines. Than the Iron Sheik and Bob Orton needs Superstars figures and Coliseum Collection figures. Just Looks/attires here’s a few must haves still - Roddy Piper - green plaid print Paul Orndorff - black trunks/robe Bob Orton - WM1 & red trunks. John Studd - blue tights and masked Executioner. Don Muraco - black trunks & boots , navy blue trunks & black boots. Bob Backlund - 70’s champ . Longer hair in green, red or blue trunks. Billy Graham - green tye-dye tights & yellow boots. Red tight and orange boots. Tito Santana - blue trunks and black boots Superfly - still need Tiger print trunks & leopard print trunks. Greg Valentine - blue trunks and black boots Brutus Beefcake - dream team attire. I still need a 1996 WWF President Piper. |

The only ones I can think they are missing in terms of non-striped tights variations for Funk are NWA Champ/short hair and WCW Clash of Champions vs Flair. |

I agree with Austin being close to do besides the looks someone mentioned and we need elites or one elite with sets of the different color knee guards from the heel run.

Golden Era talent can’t be done, to me, until they get a Coliseum Collection Ultimate Edition figure.

So you could debate top 20. But like I said top 30 without hesitation. |

Not sure how many non-wrestling fans would recognize the names of HBK, Bret, and Kurt over Warrior. *Slaughter too cuz of Joe |

Didnt he wear a grayscale version of his ECW tights during the later days of WCW? I can see that getting made for the Monday Night Wars line possibly along with the WCW Hardcore belt. |

problem is they have to "redo" anyone they can. they dont have enough talent to make to fill gaps or lines. Thats why we most of us get fatigued seeing the same characters being released over and over again regardless of attire/look. sadly there isnt anyway around it, and i stopped buying anyone released for a 15th time.. i have way too many Macho Mans, Warriors, Hogans, HBK, Taker, etc.etc.. lol...not doing it anymore.

But definitely top 30. Warrior is absolutely in the top 10. He is one of the foundation pieces. His attitude/mistakes aside, he ignited the wwf and helped take it to a whole new level. As far as relevancy goes he is well up there. Also - he tied the rockers up with sticky tape during their survivor series interview, so if you add this fact,he goes up 5 places right there. |

He was the face of the company for 5 years. If he’s not above Warrior he’s definitely among that class. |

Yeah he was in a lot of stuff outside of wrestling like an episode of Simpsons, Mad TV, and Lonesome Dove but I still don’t think that made him a household name. I mean he was the face of the company when no one was watching the product then went to WCW right when they started to regain their audience. |
