Territory Era set speculation

[mike824]

Really glad to see the Grahams announced tonight. The art is once again stellar especially the glorious chest hair on Mike which makes his role as part of The Chests as celebrated as ever! 😂😂😂

For me, this has been an incredible lineup so far. Very excited to be getting closer to the holiday releases!

There's also Doring & Roadkill still waiting for a reprint, who'd fit into either a '90s set or a hardcore set. C.W. Anderson, too.

If Blassie and the Toloses are available to be colored, you could maybe build a California-themed set around them and Java Ruuk.

Never even knew Mike Graham dad wrestled, thinking of putting them together in tag team. Mike was in Anarchy UK then moved to Social Media currently feuding with the Grappler

I don't mention much on Territory era speculation, as I don't know that much on past history.

Great to see ‘Papa’ is joining young Mike. All hell is going to break loose in Kat Rana’s F.P.W! Is it time for ‘The King of Tne Chests’ to make his grand entrance? Will Mike draw a dime? What does this mean for the iconic Chests tag team…?

Nice!! Well if this isn't a nice surprise! Eddie Graham is finally in LOW. Also great to finally get Mike in colour. Both will be a great addition to my babyface teams in the tag division as the heels are just dominating everything. Probably have Mike team up with Ray Stevens later on and let Eddie go for some singles gold. Also I hope we get Kevin Sullivan and Bobby Shane colour upgrades in this set. Either way I am looking forward to who is still to be announced. I am really digging the names so far in this set.

Eddie was also, at one time or other, the employer of the other guys in this set.

Think Shane and Sullivan are more intrinsically tied to Florida than Gang to the Northeast.

Also, after Shane and Sullivan, pretty much the only repeat option left that I can see that fits the theme of the set is a singles Steve Keirn. Between the set and Prime we've still got 8 cards to go and (assuming they don't throw a French Angel or Buff Bagwell at us to futz with the theme) I have a hard time believing that 6 or 7 of them are new names.

The other day I was going through the list of B/W cards that still aren't colorized and it's a real mish-mash of random guys left. Because of this I think it's going to be difficult for FG to do themed sets in the next few years where the bulk of the cards are colorized versions of B/W ones.(not that that's a bad thing)

Based on what I've read in other posts on here we probably shouldn't hold our breath on getting the International wrestlers like Mascaras and Liger in color. I could see another 90's set being done with Sabu, Kurrgan, Lash Leroux, P.N. News, Giant Bernard and a few new names. Another hardcore wrestler set would be possible too with Sabu, The Sheik and Freddie Blassie along with a few new guys too.

Can anyone else come up with any other possible themes based on the remaining un-colorized B/W cards?

We're probably overdue for a themeless 'junk drawer' kind of set.

I'd love a set that's just a mix with no real connection.

Definitely. Vintage guys who aren't in TNT or CAC, Super Crazy, Fred Curry, The Mongols, job guys, etc.
