Legends 8 - How will you use them?

[guiltyparty]

With the Memphis set on the horizon, I'm interested in how everyone is planning on using the announced names?

Austin Idol - Idol is a tough on. My first thought is to put him in the hunt for my midcard singles title. I'll be very curious to see how Idol, stats wise, compares.
Bill Dundee - I love me some Bill Dundee! My tag division is currently kind of weak, so I might put Dundee with Eaton and Taylor as a Blue Bloods type trio.
Lanny Poffo - Again, it will depend on the stats, but Lanny could be a midcard title contender. Or, I might keep him in reserve for when I eventually use his brother.
Dutch Mantel- I am leaning towards putting together a cowboy faction of Dutch, Stan Hansen, Blackjack, and the Texas Hangmen. Need a name, and don't want to use Desperados.
Brickhouse Brown - This is a guy I always associate more with Dallas than Memphis, but that's just me. I suspect Brown will be an undercard guy, so I might put him in a program with a guy like Sam Houston or Tiger Conway Jr.
The Fabulous Ones, The Moon Dogs, and PG-13 - These will be a major boost to my tag division. I will be shocked of my reigning champs of Cardona and Myers can turn back all three of these teams.

How about you all?

Will definitely use: The Fabulous Ones. I already have a plan for bringing them in, but it will be a while before it comes to pass. Also, the Moondogs.

May use: Austin Idol, Bill Dundee, Lanny Poffo, PG-13, Dutch Mantel. I just don't have any idea for these guys yet, and don't "feel them" enough to just drop them into the CWA to see what the dice does with them (see "Moondogs" above).

Won't use: Brickhouse Brown. He just doesn't resonate with me. If my speculation is correct and Sweet Brown Sugar is in the set, I probably won't use him, either.

Posted this in the other fed, so I'll move it here.

Poffo and Moondogs will be going to my Golden State Wrestling (WWF-style) fed.

Midnight Express will probably be leaving Golden State Wrestling and break up in their current incarnation (Lane & Eaton) and the Fabs will form in my Memphis fed.

Dundee, Mantell, Idol, possibly Smothers will join the Memphis fed as well.

When the Jimmy Hart wrestling card gets announced (🤞I'm thinking positive) he may actually leave Golden State Wrestling and head to Memphis for a spell.

PG-13 I don't really have a use for (glad they have cards, though). I don't have plans for Brickhouse Brown but saw he wrestled in Portland. I may make a small Portland fed and put him in there.

At some point, I want to put Dutch, Blackjack and Hansen together... Along with Bob Orton Jr and the tag team of Bill & Scott Irwin... The Highwaymen!

Basically they're all going to my new Mid American fed.

I'm leaning towards doing a Memphis invasion angle with my ECW.
Card #10 is scheduled for Nashville Tennessee and MAJOR LEAGUE WRESLING from Memphis has warned ECW - "DON'T COME TO TENNESSEE!"

Just randomly equally split them into my legends feds . As yet not sure who will go where . Just randomly either just pick which feds or roll a dice to deicide . Cards already released but different versions like Bill Dundee and Lanny Poffo they will stay in that feds , they are already in .

[Carlzilla]

Lanny Poffo will team with his brother and father, with Randy looking for singles gold, while Lanny and Angelo look at taking the tag titles.
Dutch Mantell will probably enter the secondary title hunt along with Austin Idol and Bill Dundee.
Because Stan Lane is already teaming with Tom Prichard, I'll probably have Steve Keirn do a mixed solo/tag run where he's managed by and tags with Jackie Fargo.
Smothers will be teaming with Brad Armstrong as a makeshift Young Pistols.
The Moondogs will probably get some use as an "attraction" team. Short feuds with long periods where they're not used.
I will not use PG-13. They're just not my thing. They might get used in an occasional jobber match with either modified stats or the "jobber" mechanic tagged onto their cards.
Brickhouse Brown might show up in a team with someone like Tony Atlas or SD Jones.

I am looking forward to all these cards!

As with any LOW set release, I plan to gradually incorporate the new names over time into my fed. The names I will definitely start using very soon are Austin Idol (he is perfect for my Las Vegas-based fed,) the Moondogs, Lanny Poffo, and Brickhouse Brown.

I'm planning to run these guys as a separate Memphis FED. I'll have to add a few guys and I'm not exactly sure how I'll do it it yet so any ideas are welcome!
