I get that just being an inductee that year doesn't mean we're getting a card, but yeah, I'm itching for an Albright card now.

For those unfamiliar, this guy was a beast. You think Taz was the "Human Suplex Machine"? Meet Gary Albright. (skip ahead to about 30 seconds to the video)

I have a 10 disk set covering Albright's entire career. He was an awesome technical wrestler. You can watch him start out in Stampede, in CWA, UWFI, and All Japan. The LOW powers that be, should they actually get him signed, can reach out to me and they can have the set to do his stats. I did an Albright bootleg quite some time ago.

It occurred to me that there has been an Olympian in each of the three TTHoF sets with Roop and Hodge in the first, Angle in the second, and Henry in the third.
with 2000 silver medalist and 2015 Tragos award winner Matt Lindland never having been a pro wrestler (that I can find at least) that leaves five possibilities to continue the streak. Verne Gagne (1948 team USA member), Dale Lewis (team USA in 56 and 60), Earl McCready (1928 member of team Canada), Brad Rheingans (team USA in 76 and 80) and 1972 bronze medal winner Chris Taylor. I hope we get one of these guys. I know most folks would have Verne at the top of the wish list, but I'd love to get Rheingans or Taylor.

Taylor is one of those interesting What If guys and he's been intriguing me recently.

If we get Gary Albright, it that will be another of my long time wants in the game. And I am also in the camp of a Chris Taylor card.
