Burl Ives would be a lot of fun. He actually played a creepy evil guy in one of the anthology horror shows. Not Twilight Zone but Outer Limits or one of those. |

Hi! I don't think BARNEY is dead, so he won't be in this set. He wouldn't be in this set anyway, haha! Anyway, thanks to my smoke detector waking me up an hour early for no reason, here's Monday's teaser for you! See? You benefit from my misery, so appreciate it!  Monday's Teaser: Did I say " a horror icon"? I meant THE horror icon! None other than...  BORIS KARLOFF!!Birth Name: William Henry Pratt Height: 5'11" Born in: London, England Date of Birth: November 23, 1887 Known for: Frankenstein (1931), How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966) Finisher: Frankensteiner (obviously)Rahl Rating: 35 (41)Frankenstein's Monster himself! Wow, how did I ever get him to "sign", haha! But who is he gonna feud with? Oh I think I know... The second big name? Did I say " a recognizable voice"? I should have made that PLURAL, as in VOICES! None other than Bugs Bunny himself...  MEL BLANC!!Birth Name: Melvin Jerome Blank Height: 5'8" Born in: San Francisco CA Date of Birth: May 30, 1908 Known for: "The Man of a Thousand Voices", voice of Bugs Bunny, and many more cartoon characters Finisher: Looney Tunes Lariat Rahl Rated: 32 (38)What's up, Doc? How will the voice of everyone's favorite Looney Tunes characters do against other celebs? Will it be Duck Season or Rabbit Season? Hints for Tuesday's Teasers: The first inspired a set of fun toys back in the '70s, the second one you better "respect"! So yeah, I forgot to add the "vital stats" on the first teaser, so check them out if you feel like it on the first post. I remembered to add them this time. Anyway, thanks again for all the support! I am thinking of adding a couple of Limited Editions prior to set release, so keep an eye open for those!  Later! Todd C WTIC |

Of course, it's none other than...  RODNEY DANGERFIELD!!He will try his best to command the respect he deserves! Will the fans cheer him or disrespect him? It's up to YOU, Promoter!

Great mix, a lot of comedy acts! Makes a wild show! 😂 Hi! I didn't even realize that, haha Justin Case ! Well, woke up early again, so here ya go! These are today's Teasers, enjoy: First, who else was known as "The Great One" other than The Rock? It was none other than --  JACKIE GLEASON!!The Honeymooners legend enters the fed without his buddy, Art Carney, but maybe Art will be in the next set? Jackie Gleason Birth Name: Herbert Walton Gleason jr Height: 5'9" Born in: Brooklyn NY Date of Birth: February 26, 1916 Known for: The Honeymooners (1955), Smokey & The Bandit (1977), The Hustler (1961) Finisher: And Away We Go! Rahl Rated: 44 (50)Next up, did I say "Billions"? I meant, of course, "Billions and Billions", so it's got to be none other than --  CARL SAGAN!!Will the astronomer's intellect overcome the brutality in the ring? Only you can decide! Carl Sagan Birth Name: Carl Edward Sagan Height: 5'11" Born in: Brooklyn NY Date of Birth: November 9, 1934 Known for: World-renowned astronomer, host of Cosmos (1980) Finisher: SAGAN S.T.F. Rahl Rating: 33 (39)And finally, hints about tomorrow's Teasers: First, He might be able to sell his opponent's moves, because he liked to sell the "whine"; and the second one's daughter already has a Celeb playing card! Thanks for reading! More will be posted tomorrow! (Hopefully, I can get some sleep in the morning though!) Todd C WTIC |

Hey everyone! Let's get today's Teasers started! First up, did I say "whine"? I meant "wine" as in "We shall serve no wine... before it's time," as in the late, great --  ORSON WELLES!!Birth Name: George Orson Welles Height: 6'0" Born in: Kenosha WI Date of Birth: May 6, 1915 Known for: Director of Citizen Kane (1941), and the radio broadcast of War of the Worlds (1938) Finisher: Orson Octopus Grip Rahl Rated: 36 (42)I'm sure it'll be a War of the (celebrity) Worlds once he steps into the ring! Next up, who is the daughter I mentioned? The daughter is Mariska Hargitay, so the Mom is, of course --  JAYNE MANSFIELD!!Birth Name: Vera Jayne Palmer Height: 5'6" Born in: Bryn Mawr PA Date of Birth: April 19, 1933 Known for: The Girl Can't Help It (1956), Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? (1957) Finisher: Mansfield Moonsault Rahl Rated: 30 (36)How will the Blonde Bombshell do in the ring? Will she be nervous the other "bombshell" (Marilyn, of course) might sweep in later and outshine her? Time will tell! Hints about Friday's Teasers: Two late additions to the set, both colorized updates -- First up is someone offering "Hope", and the second is someone associated with Elizabeth Berkley! This will bring the total number of Celebs in the set to FOURTEEN, yay! That's it for now! Todd C WTIC EDIT: Oh and may I add -- |
