Retro Rumble 2021 (Week Four)

Remember WWF's Hasbro wrestling figures? Staples of the 1990s, these misshapen toys had tiny levers, knobs and spring-loaded limbs, and were "so close to the real thing, it's like being in the ring!" (tm Jesse Ventura).

We here at Wrestling Merchandise and Memories LOVE them, as well as their more recent WWE Retro cousins that Mattel produced. For the past six years, we've hosted a competition to determine the best figures.

This year's event is Retro Rumble 2021, a Royal Rumble-like event featuring 30 WWF Hasbro and WWE Retro figures. Check back each week and scroll through the photos below to see who will win!

WEEK Four

Welcome, everyone, to Week Four of Retro Rumble 2021! This is the match that pits 30 WWF Hasbro and WWE Retro figures against each other for action figure supremacy.

All 30 competitors have entered the ring, and now we're down to just five: Virgil, Brock Lesnar, The Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase, Randy Macho Man Savage and Goldberg. Who will win?

We should note that DiBiase is paying Lesnar and Virgil to do his evil bidding, so there is definitely an unfair advantage here.

Right off the bat, Lesnar tangles with both Savage and Goldberg to establish dominance.

Not surprisingly, Lesnar is handling both Goldberg and Savage with ease.

The Beast Incarnate has eliminated 17 competitors in this match, and he could be on to an unprecedented victory tonight.

Dividing and conquering, DiBiase and Virgil put the boots to Goldberg, while Lesnar works over Randy Macho Man Savage.

Lesnar charges the corner, and Savage moves out of the way! The Macho Man is doing what he can to power Lesnar over the top rope.

Wait... WHAT'S THIS???

Three other Randy Savage figures are lurking at ringside! No one knows how this is possible, or even why they are here.

Even green trunks Savage is baffled by this development.

Distracted by three dopplegangers, Brock Lesnar takes advantage of this unique set of circumstances and has tossed Randy Savage over the top rope. We still don't know what the other Macho Men were doing here...

Now the three Savages are carrying the just-eliminated Macho Man from the ring.

DiBiase is laughing hysterically at this development. Has The Million Dollar Man spread his money around yet again??

Meanwhile, Goldberg is rallying against Wrestling Superstar Virgil and has hit him with a gravity-defying spear!

With Virgil down, Goldberg turns his attention to the other two-thirds of The Million Dollar Trio. Who's next? It appears to be DiBiase!

Goldberg nails The Million Dollr Man with a powerful clothesline and then picks him over his head and.... throws him to Lesnar?

Um... does Goldberg not know how battle royals work?

Lesnar catches his benefactor DiBiase, and begins a staredown with Goldberg. Two long-rivals are getting ready to add another chapter to their epic rivalry!

Goldberg attempts to spear Lesnar.... but The Beast Incarnate picks him up as though he was a child. F-5 right out of the ring, and Goldberg is gone!

With Lesnar trading looks with Goldberg outside of the ring... DiBiase sneaks up on Lesnar and hits him with an elbowsmash.

So much for this alliance!

The elbow has little-to-no effect on Lesnar, and now The Beast Incarnate is angry! Lesnar corners DiBiase and warns him what the price will be for his betrayal.

Lesnar picks up DiBiase and takes him to Suplex City! And before The Million Dollar Man has a chance to recover, The Beast Incarnate tosses him over the top rope for elimination # 20. And don't forget, there are only 30 competitors in the match.

But wait! With Lesnar distracted, Virgil jumps The Beast Incarnate. Leveraging the awesome power of Meat Sauce Virgil is able to push Lesnar over the top rope!

The non-existent crowd goes wild as Virgil wins Retro Rumble 2021! What an amazing story for the underdog who entered the match at # 1 and endured the entire way through.

For all of us here at Wrestling Merchandise and Memories, thank you for watching!
