Realistic new gen 93-97

[btravis]

Hi I’ve been thinking after the amazing reveals of; Billy Gunn, JH Bradshaw, MAD Fatu and Who what other new gen characters could be possible down the line. Here are some ideas:

Rockabilly
The Roadie
Jesse James
Blackjack Bradshaw
British Bulldog late 94
Diesel 96
Bam Bam Bigalow 94
123 Kidd 95/96
Sid 95 red trunks
Heel Tatanka
94 Nikolai Volkoff
Terry Taylor 93
Mark Henry 96
Brian Pillman KOTR 96

These are all looks that haven’t been covered yet from talents I believe are under a merchandise deal.

New Generation wasn't until Wrestlemania XI until Survivor Series 1997 in my opinion.

I was gonna say that a bunch of these don't feel like New Gen, but I didn't want to be the one to say it

It seems like they have a pretty decent amount of new gen talent already the more I look at the roster from that time. There's definitely some big names missing, at least for me. Id love to see Bull Nakano, Luna Vachon, Aja Kong, Alundra Blayze could use an updated figure, same with the Nasty Boys.

I can't imagine they're legends deals are being worked on but I could see Al Snow, Brooklyn Brawler, and Giant Gonzales selling reasonably well for novelty of nothing else. Koko B Ware would be nice too, though personally I'd like to see him in the Coliseum Collection before anything else.

This Warrior has to be in the MNW line sooner rather than later, right?

how are those not new gen?

All those guys are New Generation wrestlers.

The New Generation is basically from when Hogan drops the title to Yokozuna at KOTR 93 to when Austin turns baby face at WM13 March 97. Post WM13 is when you start to see everything change towards the Attitude Era. Austin turns face, Bret turns heel, HBK returns with a new attitude, Foley drops the original Mankind gimmick, Rocky Mavia joins the Nation, Kane debuts.

They were using the "New Generation" tagline for all their marketing by June 1994 so not really debatable there, but the end of that era is definitely worth a discussion as some cut it off after '95 and quite a few say it bled into '97 since that was when the Attitude Era kicked off.

[LA Times]

Not very realistic, but I want Salvatore Sincere and Patriot. I have the New Generation as lasting from 1992 when Bret Hart beat Ric Flair to win the WWF Championship until 1997.

[norcal066]

The New Generation doesn’t end before the rise of the nwo. It is the nwo’s popularity which causes Vince to change directions. That doesn’t happen until at least Survivor Series 96 when the MSG crowd turns on baby face HBK. Early 97 the crowds start to slowly turn on Bret and cheer Austin during their feud. The New Generation is completely dead once Austin turns full baby face at WM13.

[marvelelite]

Arguments can be made for WM13 or Summerslam 97 being the end of the new generation. By the time Montreal happened the WWE were months into the Attitude creative direction. WM13 double turn might be the beginning of the end of the new generation, but Summerslam 97 and Shawn turning heel and forming DX was the nail in the coffin.

[CM Tusk]

The New Gen started at King Of The Ring 93 with the death of Hulkamania. It ended at Survivor Series 97 with the end of Bret Hart’s WWF run. Thought that was commonly agreed?

We are getting away from the question… I think we need a 123 kidd with a chase 1995 and 1996.

Now that you mention it it is a little odd theyve only done two 123 Kid figures, even more so when you consider one was tied into a multipack. Id definitely buy one if they made him available on his own

[Biff Slamkovich™]

Jeff Jarrett, Ahmed Johnson, Crush? Savio Vega and Adam Bomb are at the top of my list for that era but....

I also want the deep cut talent like Hakushi, Kwang, Aldo Montoya, Bob "Sparkplug" Holly, Max Moon, Bull Nakano, and Duke "The Dumpster" Droese.

Ngl I'm still kinda crushed over losing out on the JE double F ultimate

You're right. I looked it up.

For some reason I keep thinking New Gen went from mid 1994 until mid 1997, especially because WWE has pushed 1997 as "The Dawn of Attitude". Also, for some reason I keep getting the years of wrestlemania confused because of that stupid "anniversary trickery" that plays in my mind that Wrestlemania X was in 1995 (rather than the correct 1994 because the counting starts at one in 1985, not zero).

But no, It's definitively Wrestlemania IX until Survivor Series 97.
