NikoBaltimore Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 So some prototype images have gotten out for the ROH figures. They look pretty darn good, though something appears to be off with Mark Briscoe (that's why they're called prototypes) I'm seeing myself getting these. http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/roh-figures-series-one-reveal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool arrow Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 So Joe's going back to ROH for the next TV taping to team with AJ against Bad Attitude The Addiction, as TNA slowly withers and dies. Is that irony? I'm never sure. As for the figures, Mark looks great, it's Jay that doesn't particularly look like Jay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoBaltimore Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Yep, Steen's considered a "legends" type figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 In the spoiler image, izzat first one that dude Kevin Steen, who apparently went missing several months ago? Kevin Steen isn't missing.

Technico Support Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Yep, Steen's considered a "legends" type figure. In other words, "these took so long to get going that they guy was was on the roster when we started isn't anymore, so we'll call it a 'Throwback' figure even though we're only throwing back to like a year ago." There are great ideas for Throwback figures they could make. Guys who are in WWE now but who looked different back in the day, like Cesaro, Bryan, Rollins. A CM Punk figure with bleach blonde hair and basketball shorts would be cool. Steen looking pretty much the same as he does today? Nah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 If they beat WWE to the market with a Steen/Owens figure it will probably be a pretty hot seller. Think about how many 30-40 year old guys are in their parent's basements, right now, pretending that their old Bubba Ray Dudley doll is Kevin Owens, and having him Pop Up Powerbomb one of their 46 John Cena dolls into oblivion. Now they won't have to pretend anymore!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank god, I was starting to feel weird about Doink, Kamala and Papa Shango's "reign of terror" over HWA (Hasbro Wrestling Association). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T. Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Destination America is becoming quite the home for the pro graps.

hammerva Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 So will the shows on Destination America be the same as the syndicated show on Sinclair or are they going to try to create another hour of programming? It shouldn't be too hard for them for 2 hours a week. Anybody that thinks that TNA is the #2 promotion now must be a moderator for that Mecca site.

w. josh Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Considering they debut in a week, I assume it's the same as the Sinclair show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Guy Eddie Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I could see Truth Martini in all his sleazy glory try to fuck Dixie. Make her an offer to be a hoopla hottie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewar Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 From Scarlett Bourdeaux to Dixie Carter, that's quite the dropoff in the hotness level of the hoopla hotties. So ROH on DA is legit? That's not just someone's photoshop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
