Arn would be a great card. Tag him with Tully vs The Road Warriors, or Rock and Roll Express!

Obviously we won't know exacts until they announce but I would guess there's going to be a regular set March to April, TNT in July, CAC in Autumn and whatever they decide in December When was the last time we had a full, regular set in the spring? The past few years it's either been a Women's set (not to say a women's set can't be "regular" but clearly that's of interest to some promoters and not others as compared to the men's sets) or a mini-set of some sort, hasn't it? There's a virtual-con scheduled for January 27 which will sort all of this out, presumably. |

All we know for sure is Uncharted Territories said there are at least 3 fairly major names signed for the set. Travis has said (in the speculation/build to the last expansion set) that Chad had then-recently signed a name who could easily be the headliner--don't know if that's one of the 3 or not. To be fair about Chad’s signing…I thought he would be an honoree this year, but looks like he isn’t. But he can easily headline a legends set and is a great signing. I think we’re definitely going to get Albright and King Tonga/Haku/Meng (who knows what name they can call him lol). Arn Anderson is a dream as we could finally finish the Tully/Arn vs Midnight feud. I’m drooling over that possibility. I will say though “YOU ARE GOING TO WANT TO GET THIS SET!”. Trust me on this. They’ve never let us down on any TNT set and this wont be a disappointment either….trust me. One note: I have no issue with any family wanting money, etc, but when do you say “they haven’t wrestled since 19XX, they’ve passed x number of years ago, they have virtually no name value in the wrestling world in 2024…I just want them to be remembered”. I won’t name any of the family names, but eventually that wrestler’s name is going to be forgotten by everyone (except for the few nerds like us) and they’re just some footnote. Personally, I’d hate that for my dad/mom, but that’s me. At least a game like this is trying to help them be remembered. |

If we get Arn (and we're so far ahead of ourselves I don't even know where to begin) am I the only one who's going to want to book Arn *vs.* Tully instead of Arn & Tully? I maintain that should have been the play if both of them returned to WCW in 1989-90--or if they hadn't jumped North in the first place.

If we're definitely NOT getting Arn, this would be a good time to say it so people don't get their hopes up.

I think Albright and Meng (I'm going with Meng because a quick search of the Trademark database shows no active trademark for it), are a good shout. I think Meng could even be a set co-headliner, like Orndorff and Koloff last year.
I guess it's time to start banging the drum for a main event run, bandaged ribs, frizzy haired DDP. Cause this is my hill upon which I will die and dead horse I will beat until it trots.

Better say No and be surprised if something changes than let everyone think we're getting the Enforcer and get someone most of us have never heard of accompanied by waves of bad vibes. I'll use whomever we get but managing expectations is important. |

Assume everyone's a no and then be nicely surprised when they're in a set or PP.
