I was watching the Savage/Warrior "retirement" match on disk last night, and it came to the ending where Elizabeth threw Sherri out of the ring, and the thought came to me, "Both of these women are dead now, it's depressing."

Big Mattel WWE action figure reveals at San Diego Comic Con! 

Nostalgia is very strong as there are going to be multiple new figures of Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Randy Savage, The Rock, Rey Mysterio and even a brand new Andre the Giant in his iconic herring-bone jacket! 

Sadly, not as Fezzik though!

[The Baron]

Sure, they're going with nostalgia, they haven't got that many new stars that anyone cares about.

If they made a Spike Dudley figure, I'd buy one. 

[Philip Portelli]

I think that all the Dudleys are "off the table" now.

Eh, I'd rather have them from their ECW days anyway.

Vince McMahon announces his retirement  It had to  come soner or later. Of course, he could still be calling Stephnaie with "advice" every day.

And Brock Lesnar walked out of SMACKDOWN because of it!

Yeah, I don't know what the connection is there.  

I see that Hunter is back as head of talent relations.

It could be that Brock feels that only Vince would pay him what he gets now or he wants more money for Summerslam and/or assurances for his future.

[The Baron]

Yeah, I don't know. There are rumors on-line that Brock was close with Vince and was outraged that he was "forced out", but who knows what the hell  is true?

Other speculation is that Kevin Dunn better have his resume up-to-date.

I wouldn't watch Smackdown if you paid me, but I wonder what - if anything - they'll  say tonight.
