I’d flip my lid for a Haku. I could finally reunite the Colossal Connection.
Anyone else in that set would be a bonus.
Having said that, my personal wish list would be:
1. Booker T.
2. DDP (yup, still whippin’ that dead horse until it gallops)
3. Warren Bockwinkel
4. Bronko Nagurski
5. Jesse Ventura
6. Brad Rheingans
7. Harley Race (Early tag specialist version)
8. Larry Hennig (Early tag specialist version)

I think we'll get Boris and Joe Malenko will be a prime name around the same time. Hoping for Jim Ross and Haku but the TNT sets are usually full of people I'll find some use for.

Boris Malenko feels like the only shoe-in, IMHO. Stuff like singles Masa Saito and early career Harley Race all seem dependent on how well the team was able to work the room alongside Gerry Brisco, who has been SUCH a boon to the game. The fewer new names we get, the more likely the second versions of guys we have cards for now become.
So past that... Farmer Burns might be #1 on my wish list for an official card, but tracking down who would be the right person to sign off on his likeness seems to be the main obstacle for him. Haku would be big for me, too; various unofficial cards of him have been fixtures of my feds. I haven't seen Pat O'Connor mentioned yet, he's someone who jumps out at me as a good bet if family can/has be reached.

Burns may be dead long enough that it doesn't matter and his likeness is up for grabs. The LOW team should make a good-faith effort if possible to find family, but I don't know of any states where postmortem rights extend back to 1937 when Burns died.
They can correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think the Great Gama was "signed" by anyone.

You also have to realize that to continue the sets, at some point, barring inductions of guys with B&W cards that have yet to be colorized (OMG? Dewey Robertson? Giant Baba? Danny Doring? CW Anderson? Super Crazy? Tiger Mask? Missing Link? Bobby Shayne?) that the sets may have to stop or be full of all new signings. Hence, coupled with the Uncharted Territories crew, namely one Chad Olson, saying, when the Pro Prime Fuji and Saito cards came out, that a more singles leaning Saito could be coming, leads some of us to believe that Saito will be in the set. |

,barring inductions of guys with B&W cards that have yet to be colorized (OMG? Dewey Robertson? Giant Baba? Danny Doring? CW Anderson? Super Crazy? Tiger Mask? Missing Link? Bobby Shayne?) For what it’s worth I think a strong case could be argued for the induction of Dewey Robertson as a Gotch award recipient and Mike Graham (three times Florida state amateur wrestling champion) as a main hall inductee. |

I don't know of many that expect all new signees every single set. Most are happy with what we get, and support LOW 100%, as we have some pretty diehard fans. Sure, we all have our wants, and that's fine, but most of us are pretty realistic, and appreciate what gets put out.
