What is old is new again.
WWE’s “New Generation” is the new focal point of Mattel’s upcoming line of collectibles. Their Ultimate Edition New Generation Arena further immortalizes that distinct era of pro wrestling by creating a specific line that features the trademark neon entry way, an incredibly detailed ring, and an action figure of “Big Daddy Cool” Diesel, who was champion for a 358-day stretch that ran through almost all of 1995.
The man behind Diesel is WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash, who became a legend during his NWO run in World Championship Wrestling. Yet a critical reason why his arrival in WCW had such meaning was because of his body of work during the “New Generation”, where he was presented as an industry-defining star and helped carry the company as its champion.
