I don't recall Kabuki ever in Memphis and if he was it wasn't for any length of time. Lots of wrestlers back in the day would pop into a territory for a short run but you wouldn't necessarily associate them with that territory. He was here for a couple months towards the end of 1986. He was aligned with Tojo. But I would never consider him a Memphis guy |

Definitely looking forward to the Memphis set. A couple of possible names that I haven't yet seen mentioned in this thread are Kamala and the "Dirty White Boy" Tony Anthony (maybe along with a color version of The Grappler to re-form their tag team). I was watching the Q & A this weekend and didn't catch that this set is slated for a December release. Does that mean there won't be a Legends release in Q3 (aside from Prime)? Heck, if they did Tony Anthony and Len Denton as "The Dirty White Boys" in the set, and then did Grappler 1 and 2 in Prime or vice versa, I would not be remotely opposed! Always down for more tag teams, and after reading his book, Len Denton has become one of my favorite people in wrestling!! Len Denton's book is great! I had the opportunity to sit and visit with him at the CAC a few years back, he was a super nice guy! |

I have a great lead on Kamala and I’m hoping it works out (a relative in law is a big fan of the corny podcast). I’ve been trying to search for a good contact for Tony Anthony. I’d love to have 3 versions of him 1) singles 2) with Denton as the Grapplers and 3) the DWBs Still one of the greatest rasslin videos ever. I wish a had a nickel every time someone did a thumbs up in these Memphis videos, lol. youtu.be/I3FhCj0GymY |

Did we ever get a color version of Lanny Poffo? I know we got Randy and Angelo. I'd love a Sir Lanny Poffo in a Memphis themed set.

Lanny is still Black and White only. I too hope for Sir Lanny.

If we get a Lanny in a Memphis related set, y’all know it can’t be genius Lanny, but the knight version… Another great Memphis video with knight Lanny and Savage youtu.be/_YWpG70EQfs |

Well, let's go ahead and put out a Wish List.... (working under the assumption that Lawler isn't available)
1) Bill Dundee
2) Steve Keirn
3) The Grappler
4) Tommy Rich
5) Porkchop Cash
6) Dutch Mantell
7) Phil Hickerson
8) Robert Fuller
9) Jimmy Golden
10) Wendell Cooley
PP: Ron Wright, JC Ice, Wolfie D
It hurt to leave off Dream Machine, Ron Fuller, and Mongolian Stomper
I'm not sure this is the right set for Tracey Smothers.
and I don't have high hopes for Austin Idol, (and maybe I have the wrong impression of him) but he strikes me as someone who would want a bunch of money to sign on to the game.

This is an awesome list of names! Here's my hopes/Wishlist... 1. Austin Idol (Headliner) 2. Steve Keirn 3. Roughouse Fargo 4. Kamala 5. Dutch Mantell 6. Norvell Austin 7. Tracy Smothers 8. Bill Dundee 9 and 10. PG13 PP: Stan Lane (Fabs), Brian Christopher (Memphis Gimmick), and Koko Ware (Memphis) to complete the PYTs. Moondogs, Joe Leduc, Phil Hickerson, Stomper, Dream Machine would be amazing as well. |

Also, so many good names in Memphis that I feel like you would need 20-25 cards for this set!
