Elias Elite 60 Video

I got my Elias Elite 60 in the mail today. Great figure. Love what they're doing with him, just give him a belt and watch him roll like The Rock.

This is a work that can work for a lonnnng time in the WWE.

Walking With Elias

So I'm discovering a guy who could save my membership to the WWE Network, which I cancelled following the Divas battle royal at Royal Rumble 2018 closing the show. 

Elias.

I listened to his podcast with Steve Austin tonight. The guy is very likable and easy to root for. His gimmick could be as big as The Rock in my opinion. 

I first took notice of Elias when I got a text from my buddy James that made no sense. He said "I am Elias." Then I watched Elias in the Royal Rumble, and his intro just intrigued me. I had not been watching WWE programming at all. All the sudden, the bell went off and it all made sense to me. The guy had a huge physique that I liked and reminded me of Bruiser Brody.

Today I was talking to my buddy James at work about why old heels worked, and why he liked Elias. The guy has 'it'. And no sooner do I hang up with James but I get a blast e-mail from WWE that is promoting Elias for the 2018 Elimination Chamber. WWE is smart. At the moment they're losing me, they do just enough to pull me back in and get me to watch the PPV that I otherwise wouldn't have considered tuning into just before my membership expires.

Elias beat Braun Stroman and John Cena for the right to be last in the Elimination Chamber. He's going to play the guitar in the Chamber if WWE lets him.



This gimmick - there's just something about it that's throwback if they don't fuck it up like they always seem to do - and if they do it right I'll tune in as long as Elias is running the ranks of WWE's main event picture.

Maybe; just maybe, the slow build WWE is doing with Elias will work and they'll book the guy right.

More DM Wrestlemania 3 Macho Man

The headscan is beautifully done. Really everything is perfect except people are not happy that Mattel made these the lilac purple trunks instead of the true color pink that Macho Man wore in the greatest match of all time. 

Macho Man Randy Savage - Wrestlemania 3 Mattel Defining Moments Preorder

I owed myself this one, and preordered it last night from Mattel. It's Randy Savage from his greatest match of all-time, Wrestlemania 3 against Ricky the Dragon Steamboat. 

That match is largely considered by many to be the greatest match ever in the Wrestling Bible. His figure is based on his beautiful attire from that night. You'll remember the pink trunks, yellow boots and robe. He didn't come with his Intercontinental Title strap that he dropped that night; but he is supposedly a new head scan. 

I just had to have this one. This was my biggest want of all-time, for many years. Macho Man was my favorite other than Bret Hart; so I am happy to have ordered this one and ordered a protector case for the figure. 

White Ranger Mattel Seth Rollins

I bought this today, had to. It was my San Diego Comic Con WWE PPV weekend present to myself. It's Battleground 2016 on Sunday. Triple threat match for the World Heavyweight strap, the New Day against the Wyatt Family; and Kevin Owens vs. Sammy Zayn. 

I watched the 2016 WWE Draft the other night half dead from strep throat, so it will be interesting to see the first PPV since that's taken place and what the ripple effect will be. 

Elite 41 Finn Balor MOC

This is definitely the best figure that Mattel has ever made. 

Cannot wait to see Balor on the main roster to see what he can do. I am hoping it comes this Sunday in the Royal Rumble.

San Diego Comic Con

I am definitely starting to get into NXT - and the collecting of NXT. I think I'm joining the Finn Balor legion here. This might be the greatest figure that Mattel has ever made. 

Some really good videos below showing a lot of the figures that were unveiled out in San Diego this weekend. None I'm more excited for than this Finn Balor, the new sensation that can bring mythology back to wrestling.
