I don't think I had mentioned my vintage wish list before but here it is. 1. Fred Beell 2. Dr. B.F. Roller 3. "Yankee" Joe Rogers 4. Sorakichi Matsuda 5. Stanislaus Zbyszko 6. Wladek Zbyszko 7. Hjalmar Lundin 8. Dan McLeod 9. Tom Jenkins 10. Ad Santel 11. "Americus" Gus Schoenlein 12. Martin "Farmer" Burns I know there are some that don't care for the vintage guys but it's my list. No Joe Stecher? By the way for what it's worth, Tim Dalton once told me Earl Caddock's family specifically said no to him being in the game. I actually enjoyed watching the silent video footage of their match.

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. 100% forgot about Brad, buried deep behind the cobwebs, I guess. Yeah, I'd love to have any version of the MWC, but I've been running a Georgia territory and it feels wrong without Ole. Additionally, Buzz Sawyer's brother runs (or ran, I don't know if it's still in business) a wrestling school and could be contacted about including Buzz. Yesterday wasn't a banner day for my memory. Blackwell is the really difficult one because he had no relationship with his family at the time of his death. He'd been involved in a nasty divorce following the death of his son, which tore the entire family apart if I remember correctly. I don't think he's really a possibility at all. Blackwell was a great hand, a good draw, and should be remembered by fans as one of the all time great big men.

I honestly would take just about any vintage wrestler, but Burns and Roller are tops on my list.

Jim Ross retiring from WWE maybe a announcer card could be a reality If not now down the road.

As I have said before, Dr. D was Stone Cold, before Stone Cold was cool.
