Kevin Von Erich: Russ and Marshall are in Idies, so it's possible.
Jeff Jarrett: He'll put his name on damned near anything, right?
Bryan Clark/Adam Bomb: He's been very active in putting his likeness out there on things like Myers and Cardona's bendies and action figures from small companies. So maybe he'd sign.
Fred Ottman: He was trained by Boris! I realize that's a stretch, but I just want more big guys, okay?
Ronnie Garvin: Just one of my personal all time wants.

Billy Robinson: to me, he'd be a headliner for a Thesz/Tragos set.
Pat O'Connor: ditto. I enjoy watching his '50s and '60s work more than Thesz's, to be honest.
Tom Jenkins: one of the last 1900-era guys that I'd consider a real must-have (though more are always welcomed). One of Gotch's other big rivals along with Hackenschmidt.
The GAMBLER: Just so I'm not focused entirely on tough-guy shooters who were also huge stars. I'm a sucker for a job-guy with a gimmick (that's not a mask) even though it's antithetical to the whole idea of "enhancement talent." Anyone who was a staple of late-'90s weekend WCW television could fit in this slot. I'll buy a whole set of the Gambler, Bobby Walker, Rick Fuller, and Roadblock among others.
Ernie Ladd: one of the all-time great characters and interviews.

These lists are always fun and evolve so much as we get new releases or personally find ourselves interested in new wrestlers. But adding the caveat of these being REALISTIC potential signings adds a new wrinkle. Travis has his Memphis bias, I have my WCW bias. I always spend WAY too much time thinking these lists over as well. And when I'm done, I always feel like I forgot someone. Since you did 10, I will stick with that: 1. Scott Norton - One of my all time favorites. He's fairly active on social media but I've never been able to get a response from him.  2. Brian Adams / Crush - I enjoyed him in the NWO, in the neon, in Demolition, Kronik, etc. He could easily get 2-3... maybe more different cards over time and I'd be all for it! 3. Kanyon - I was just thinking about him the other day. He gets a lot of props from the guys he worked with but I still feel like he was underrated. 4. Ultimo Dragon - This might be a long shot but you never know. 5. The Gambler - Probably a hard one to get a hold of but not impossible since he didn't pass away earlier this year as had been initially reported. He was probably my #1 WCW enhancement guy. Just a dumb, fun gimmick and a guy who could perform believably in the ring. 6. Raven - Supposedly he's said no in the past but hopefully things can change and he can become a yes at some point. 7. Perry Saturn - He seems to have completely left the wrestling business behind so he may be one that is hard to get a hold of but 8. Bam Bam Bigelow - Awesome big man that could fit in with a lot of different styles of feds. 9. Adam Bomb / Wrath - Another fun big man that could really go in the ring. 10. Lance Storm - Liked him in ECW, loved him in WCW and continued loving him in WWE. He had a totally different style to him and his slide under single leg crab was such a simple but effective finisher. I almost threw a vintage guy or two on the list but some of the vintage guys and gals are tough to track down relatives of and even harder to get a hold of. So, if this list is supposed to be somewhat realistic, it may be less realistic to get specific vintage guys. |

Jeff Jarrett: He'll put his name on damned near anything, right? I would have put Jarrett on my list but I figured he is probably off limits at the moment due to him being signed to AEW. |

I’d like to see cards for the Beverly Brothers. One of those teams I appreciate more now than I did when they were around.
