Since Spike Huber has been mentioned...I would think that it is a path to Dick the Bruuiser....also if it's multiple territories and not just one....it could mean a color Sheik

I'm hoping for any of the following: Kevin Sullivan, Bobby Shane, Mike Graham, Tony Atlas, One Man Gang, Missing Link, Maurice Tillet, Tolos Brothers, Mongols & Executioners.
Special Edition Cards for managers Sir Oliver Humperdink & Percival Pringle III along with Masked Superstar for Promoter Prime.

I would like to see the Youngbloods and my shot in the dark, Ricky Steamboat....plus, an official Wahoo card. I don't claim to know anything about this set and I would be even more excited for Ricky Steamboat than I was for Paul Orndorff. But my guess is that if they got Steamboat for the game then he would be saved for a future Tragos-Thesz Hall of Fame set. |

If Funks are signed, they'd almost certainly be put in a TNT set. While that would make perfect sense maybe the FG crew would put them in a non-TNT set just to throw us off. |

There's a limit to the TNT list and I think at this point they will weigh each name for the sets if they are in the TNT or not. They won't just throw a name or two (and while everyone will love the Funks, the chances right now are thin) into another set to throw us off. They'd throw a name in the set to fill things up (like Gotch who could have gone into TNT but likely came down to who goes into the Vintage set, who waits for TNT)

For years, Nebraska was actually part of the AWA.
I do think whatever is coming it will be Southern leaning.

Plus it makes sense to release him and Hackenschmidt together. Plus they were clearly prioritizing the original black-and-white set and wanting to colorize everyone there (except Baba) sooner than later. I don't expect any major Thesz/Tragos names to get released in standard sets until the well dries up and they can't do any more proper HOF sets. The exceptions going forward would be guys like Masa Saito who justify multiple cards. |

I had googled territories to find an obscure one and those two popped up on wiki under the NWA territories. It was worth my time to search as I discovered there was a movie/mockumentary about Big Time Wrestling done in 1985 called I Like To Hurt People focusing on the original Sheik. I found a used DVD triple feature on Ebay with that movie, Piper's Hell Comes to Frogtown and Grunt. I am looking forward to watching all three. I have seen part of Frogtown but that was years ago. |
