With the right storytelling almost anyone can be a face. Sheik is one of those guys who aren't a natural fit, like Heenan and Million Dollar Man DiBiase, but it can work with the right story and opponents.

It will likely be a short stint, as I can't see it going on for too long before Sheiky-baby goes crazy. 🙂 |

I like it. I mean heck, every guy in Memphis seemed to do at least a short face stint just so they could turn on Lawler.

Off the top of my head... They had their summer series in summer of 1977 when Dundee and his wife got their head shaved. Lawler "retired", but back as a good guy. It took Dundee a while to warm up to him, but they eventually teamed. They had their hot tag feud vs the Blonde Bombers in summer of 1979. Lawler turned bad again at the end of 79 when Jimmy Hart became his manager, but got hurt in early 80, causing him to miss the almost the entire year of 1980 They were both good until Dundee turned bad in spring of 83 which lead to their loser leave town match in June of 83, which Lawler won (Dundee went to book in the ill fated Georgia wrestling reboot). Dundee came back until losing to Steve Keirn at the end of 83 when he left to book in Mid South Dundee came back in 85 as a good guy and tried to cause a riff with him/Lawler v the Fabs, saying they were better than the Fabs. This lead to Dundee beating Lawler in a loser leaves town and the Bill/Buddy stuff in 1986 Dundee was then gone to Central States and the NWA, but came back in 87 to help Lawler battle Idol/Rich and winning the AWA Tag Titles. Just a small sample. When it gets into the 90s, people turned every other week |

Hmm. I wonder if it still exists. It would be fun to buy and roll around in. I believe that youtube show they briefly had where Joey Styles toured the WWE warehouse/archives (like that Most Wanted Treasures show but on a much, much lower budget) had an episode on the most patriotic items where the archivist said all that remains of the Lex Express was the pillows from the couch. Most likely where Lex spent most of his time |

Just ordered this set along with Legends Prime so I can add Nikita Koloff, Paul Orndorff, Bad News Allen and Danny Spivey to my 80s fed.

Just got my TNT cards in NJ and they look spectacular. Really looking forward to throwing these guys into some of my territories. Orndorff is gonna start in Mid South and Nikita in Mid Atlantic. The Great Malenko right down to Florida. Not sure about Saito yet.
Really great job by the team again. The TNT connection continues to be a major asset to the game.
