It is probably because many of our promoters started following wrestling in the early to mid ‘80s well after Blasse’s days of being a prime wrestler were over. Kind of like why many people were expecting Hawaiian shirt wearing S.D. Jones or Adorable Adrian Adonis. Biker Adrian will get used if we ever get Dick Murdoch or Jesse Ventura.

I caught the tail end of Biker Adonis, and he was one I really liked... Never really took to the "adorable" one, but Blassie was always a manager in my eyes. Not that I wouldn't use him as a wrestler... I used the b&W card quite a bit... But in my mind, I always picture him with the Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff. Edit: Oh, and my 3 would be: 1. Tony Atlas 2. Tiger Mask 3. The Sheik

Does anyone have a preference of Kevin Sullivan from the Florida territory, or Kevin Sullivan from The Varsity Club?

Florida Sullivan for me, all decked out in the evil regalia. You can split the difference on Sullivan by making it a drawing of him in a robe (NOT with the hood up!) with just a little black paint under the eyes. Could be Florida or Varsity or Dungeon pre-Taskmaster.
Blassie: he started managing in the mid-70s. None of us knew him as a wrestler except by reputation and later whatever videos pop up on tape compilations and tube sites. He was used as a central character on Tuesday Night Titans so often in addition to his managing Sheik and Volkoff, so that is just the image of Blassie the vast majority of us have. I used the wrestler card and recognized his accomplishments in Japan and California, but it does feel foreign to me not ot have him in the jumpsuit with the cane calling people pencil neck geek.
