My Guess for next 3 sets. WWF (hoping, Muraco, Rude, Orton, etc.) w/ Freddie Blassie Mr.Fuji & jimmy Hart extra cards like Heenans ECW (or hardcore) w/ extra Bill Alphonso mgr card Another Legend Tag Team Set? w/ Capt. Lou extra card Wishful thinking on the managers I know. Maybe a 5 card manager set?

I am probably in the vast minority here, but what i really want is some actual vintage legends, something preferably pre-70's... we have so many truly iconic names from the past, it just seems the focus has become more and more to the 80's and this side... hoping that the men and women who truly laid the foundation and path for everything we here have grown up on and loved don't get lost in the proverbial shuffle... anywho, that's my 2 cents

I would love vintage cards but there are so many guys from various eras, feds and such that no matter what I want, someone else I want will have to wait.

The most requested guys we get from people are 80's and 90's favorites, and we have to do what we can to please the most people most of the time, with being able to fit in some other genres of wrestling over time to honor the complete history of the sport.

I would love to get color cards for Ed Lewis, William Muldoon, Jim Londos, Frank Gotch, George Hackenschmidt, Antinino Rocca, Rikidozan, and Mildred Burke, with The Great Gama and Farmer Burns as new names... 😁

It's a tough balancing act. It is also something that the Legends team has discussed regularly. If you look at the last Expansion Pack, we focused on Midwest Legends, but the majority of them debuted before the 70s- in the 40s (the Crusher) and 50s (Flying Redheads, the Vachons, Bockwinkel & Stevens). Larry Zbyszko, Stan Hansen and Steve Regal were the only ones who debuted in the 70s. While most of these guys remained active into the 80s, they made their names well before that. Two of this quarter's planned Legends Prime additions debuted in the 1950s. The other debuted in the 70s. This summer's planned Expansion Pack will probably trend a little more recent, although I am sure at least a couple of the names will have debuted before the 70s.

I'd love to see the vintage legends get the color treatment. I could be totally wrong but I'd imagine that releasing a vintage set would garner a lot less interest from potential new and/or more casual fans.

I too would like to see more midget wrestlers, but we are in the minority I'm afraid, worse so than fans of women's wrestlers. Sky and Beaver fight eternally. Although for what it's worth (Horn)Swoggle was released last year in the Indies PP set. Even just two ( or now one) more names would make a world of difference, as you could then have some tag team matches. If I were to pick names I would want to see, Lord Littlebrook would be at the top of the list. Then perhaps Haiti Kid and Little Tokyo, if for no other reason then to re-create the Wrestlemania III bout with King Kong Bundy & Hillbilly Jim.

I would love to be able to recreate WM III in its entirety. The issue with any of the wrestlers (including midget wrestlers) is getting their permission. If we could get them, I promise that they would be released sooner or later.
