What It’s Supposed to Look Like: This

Hello Poe, I wanted to share my Toy Aisle Troll find here in Kansas City Ks. I was at the local Toys R Us and found this WWE All Stars set and thought that the Macho Man Randy Savage figure looked a little different. Turns out that someone swapped out the Elite Macho Man with a basic Matt Hardy. Whats even more messed up is that when I first found the package, we got sidetracked and I didn’t get to tell an employee. We came back probably a month later and it was still sitting on the shelf. This time I made sure to tell someone.

    Seriously? Some stole a Macho Man and swapped in a Matt Hardy? That's….that's just pathetic.

        I meant that the whole "putting Matt Hardy in Macho Man's tray" thing was pathetic. I'm a fan of the Macho Man; I just don't get why someone would replace him in this two-pack with Matt Hardy.

          would you want to admit to people that you paid for a matty hardy? jeffy, maybe, but not fat hardy.

    When they took the time to steal Macho Man why did they leave his bandana?
