I am sure it has been talked about before, but I haven't seen it. Has there been a thought on having a set of currently signed wrestlers that also wrestled under a mask? Besides the list below, there could also be generic jobber masked wrestlers that were played by numerous wrestlers(ie Conquistadors, Executioners). I know there may be copyright issues, so my list is only for those I believe there wouldn't be an issue.
The Bullet (Bob Armstrong)
The Handsome Stranger (Buff Bagwell)
The Sugarmask (Danny Doring)
Magnificent M (Don Muraco)
Bepo Mongol (Nikolai Volkoff)
Charlie Brown (Jimmy Valiant)
Stagger Lee (Koko B. Ware)
The Masked Destroyer (Killer Kowalski)
Sensational White Phantom (Nick Bockwinkel)
Texas Red (Red Bastien)
The Zodiac (Bob Orton, Sr.)
Oko Yami (Butcher Vachon)
Thats just a few. Any more?

Well, Bepo Mongol is in the game...but Bolo Mongol isn't, but that would be the exact opposite of a masked set.
Also, Red River Jack (Bruiser Brody)
Brad Armstrong (Arachnaman/Badstreet)
The biggest problem is that, with a lot of these, the whole gimmick was that they were EXACTLY like their masked counterpart...and usually after losing a Losers Leaves Town match or something.

Yeah it only really works if they wrestle differently. Otherwise, you can just say they're masked and run it as an angle.

Hm... Maybe I'll start teaming Arachnaman with Delirious...

No need in getting new cards when you can just book them in your fed by the name of their masked counterpart. I personally don't want multiples of existing wrestlers unless there is a major difference in their wrestling style and gimmick.
Much like the Link/Robertson cards or having tag team Beefcake and getting one that is a stronger singles wrestler much like his Barber days.

I wouldn't mind if they were released as a LE. Would be kinda cheap if they were simply released as part of a set.
I would like to see a Bullet card and (yes, I know he was only in it for a run in....), but Kowalski and Volkoff as the Executioners.
Of course, would love to see Bolo Mongol.
