Jumbo would be so great in the game. I'd love more Japanese guys. Adonis is also a top want for me.

Definitely would love to see Tsuruta... who wouldn't. Hopefully that works out someday.

I agree Jumbo and Adonis would be great. Been a fan of Adonis since I bought Cornette and Meltzer's Wrestling Gold box set and watched Adonis' match against Bob Orton Jr.
And of course Tsuruta-Misawa always gets mentioned in the discussion of greatest match of all time.

My biggest wish at this point is Jumbo Tsuruta. I'm a friend of Jumbo Tsuruta's son Yuji and I've passed his info along at least once. He's on Facebook, he's not hard to find and Yuji doesn't want ANYTHING for his dad being used in the game, he just wants his dad to be remembered. Aside from Jumbo, I wouldn't mind: Adrian Adonis (The only guy I want as much I want Adonis and I doubt his family would want anything) Dick Murdoch P.N. News (He's signed, make him already dammit) Sid Brian Lee Mike Awesome Masato Tanaka Lance Storm Would love Tsuruta to be in the game. He gets crapped on by US fans due to his "failed" AWA title run, but that was more Verne. Damn fine competitor |

Funny you mention that Adonis/Orton match, I was unaware that was on Wrestling Gold until a couple of days ago. Great friggin' match. And Jumbo/Misawa is the greatest feud that never had a proper ending. |

My most wanted would be Wrestling II, Ole & Gene Anderson, Stan Hansen, Blackjack Lanza, Ken Patera, Jerry Blackwell, Jake Roberts, Buzz Sawyer, Terry Funk, Jack Brisco, and Junkyard Dog.
My second tier would be Verne & Greg Gagne, Ray Gunkel, and Gary Hart.
Sawyer, Blackwell, and Anderson have all been dead for 18+ years and I don't think their families have maintained any connection to pro wrestling. Ole and Gene were never personally close from what I understand, so even if Ole were to sign it may not provide a path to Gene. JYD is another outside possibility, but with his daughter's untimely passing a few years ago he will be a difficult catch.
Gunkel's daughter can be reached fairly easily via Facebook, and she's always willing to work toward securing her father's memory.
If any of those 16 guys were netted--Wrestling II and Ole being my most wanted--I'd be outrageously happy.

Gene's son Brad inducted Lars Anderson into the Hall of Heroes during the NWA Legends Fanfest this year. Having The Minnesota Wrecking Crew in any fashion would be great. I also would really like Mr. Wrestling II, as well as The Mulkeys. |
