wm008 Max Moon

Believe it or not, Max Moon was one of the harder dials so far to design. I wanted to make sure he was one of the cheapest pieces in the set (he never beat anyone notable at all), but still make him somehow, some way, slightly useful. I am a bit ashamed to admit that as a child Max Moon was without a doubt my favorite wrestler. Partially due to the irregularity he would appear on TV, partially due to his high flying offense, and mainly due to his outlandish moonsuit (which according to Wikipedia cost the WWF a whopping $1,300) I couldn't get enough of Max Moon. The original Max Moon was the luchadore Konnan, but after he left the WWF due to the company hatred of chulos the gimmick was given to Paul Diamond. The mysterious Moon would come to the ring being billed as from Outer Space or the Future (I AM FROM OUTER SPACE AND POSSIBLY THE FUTURE), and would shoot sparklers into the crowd from his wrist rockets (MOONDUST). Possibly a distant cousin of The Vision?
