I have been going back and forth guessing the final 5 cards for Originals (and probably will continue doing so). Here is my latest speculatory list, along with the 2 "first ever" cards, and 2 "same guy, new card" cards... 1. Tully Blanchard 2. J.J. Dillon 3. Gangrel 4. Luna Vachon 5. Raymond Rougeau "First Evers" 1. Dick Woehrle Ref Card 2. Bill Watts Commisioner Card "Guy Gets New Card" 1. The Mountie - Jacques Rougeau 2. Koko B. Ware - Sweet Brown Sugar Again, I really have no idea whatsoever, and these aren't necessarily what I want to see in their entirety. Note: I really wish all of the cards would just be announced already. I don't see the point in holding out the names, other than to frustrate the heck out of people like me

I don't see a Bill Watts commisioner card just because he was a top wrestler before he got into promoting, so if Watts was signed I think we would get a wrestler card. If we do get a commisioner card I would think it would have to be someone who never wrestled, Sam Muchnik, Jim Crockett, Tom Filsinger or what about a Stan Lee commisioner card?

I would personally like to see a Jim Crockett, card. I would also like to see others from Memphis wrestling.

My Bill Watts guess was really off the top of my head without much thought put into it. You're right about him being a more prominent wrestler.
With that said, I would love a Jim Crockett card, but even more so than him, a Jack Tunney card.

This might sound dumb but what if the 2 SE Legends Original cards are other gimmicks used by 2 guys already included in the Legends Originals set ? For example Mankind, Mick Foley, Repo Man, and Krusher Khruschev

For example Mankind, Mick Foley, Repo Man, and Krusher Khruschev I'm holding out hope (and I really think Darsow is signed)...but surprise people with Demolition cards (granted, I think this would be a selling point in a regular set, but still...would be awesome)

Well one advantage of Demolitiona s LE cards is if the WWE decided to crack down on it (if they were able...not sure if the WWE has kept up owning the gimmick or not) then Tom could easily stop selling them. Harder if they were in an actual set.

Well considering that Bill and Barry still tour using the Demolition gimmick I am wondering if WWE only has product licensing? Last I had heard Bill Eadie owned the rights. Can anyone bring us up to speed on the licensing thing? I would mark out HUGE if we got Demolition LE's AND Bret Hart in this set.
And for the record Angelo Mosca was a HUGE signing!

I spoke to Eadie and Darsow about a month ago, and while they can use Demolition for wrestling and autograph appearances, WWE owns all the product licensing. Major bummer....they were my favorites in the late 80s. As for the Gencon SE cards...I wouldn't get too caught up in the alternate personas train of thought.
