back to back new announcements (as we should probably assume BF announcement is a new name) would suggest several potential new names.
Interesting to think about.

This is what I'd be hoping for. Excited to see what tonight brings. Teaser is coming tomorrow night for Legends. Ah, for it is only Thursday. I was indeed TOO excited here!  I'll fan the flame on my hope for the Mongols for one more day. |

Another name I'd like to have in the game for both father/son tournament and just general high flyer use.

I really enjoy hearing the different wants people have. It always seems to give me good ideas on how to use different cards when they come in or see a name from a different perspective. Fred Curry would be a good one. Hadn't thought of him.
I think it's cool that there's a lot of colorizations that can fit the bill for this set as well.

Fred Curry was one of the names mentioned on the podcast back in January by the LOW team as one on their personal wishlist for a color update. I think he was named by Chad, but I could be wrong.

Which we have had in many of our December sets recently: Expansion VIII - name(s) week before preorder - The Moondogs, preorder name - Dutch Mantel Expansion X - name week before preorder - Tony Garea, preorder name - Big John Studd. |

My gut tells me there are four to five new names in the set. |

According to Bruce Prichard (so take it for what that's worth), Vince expected Terry Taylor to be cocky like a rooster, and strut showing off his arrogance, but not to be a literal rooster. But Taylor was unable to see the end goal or evolve it into something he was comfortable with. Taylor really hadn't been over since UWF, so it's not like he would have gotten over in WWF without a gimmick. Considering he was just OK as Terrance Taylor in the York Foundation, I doubt he could have ran with The Model or Mr. Perfect gimmicks wither. For a good take on being a rooster, see the fictional Heels wrestler Rooster Robbins, who played it like MVP- an arrogant franchise player.Bruce is full of crap. Know how I know? They had a TV taping in Louisville in the summer of 88 and they first referred to Terry Taylor as the Red Rooster. Bobby Heenan brought him out and was calling him his “Little Red Rooster”, sorry, you aren’t building him up as a cocky heel by having his manager calling him his little Red rooster It’s revisionist history from the kiss ass Bruce |

And the character as initially presented was that of a somewhat meek, indecisive guy who was in constant need of advice from Heenan.
Also...the WWF/E is and has been a machine for most of its existence from the time of expansion until the present day. Outside of some crazy periods during the Monday Night Wars, stuff doesn't just make it to air by accident. If Taylor acting as a literal rooster made it to air, it was because the WWF wanted it to.
