If we can't get one of the main heavy-hitters (Sabu somewhat unlikely, Dreamer or Raven extremely [no pun intended] unlikely), I would love Tajiri. My #1 non-pipe-dream wish is Little Guido. I loved the FBI, and would be completely on-board with an alt-card for Tracy Smothers to go with him. Why is Sabu “somewhat” unlikely? I mean he signed once who is to say he didn’t sign at CAC ‘21? I know names and cards have to be spaced out but given how eager the LOW crew tends to be to colorize big-name B&W cards which Sheik is definitely one, the fact that it hasn't happened yet leads me to consider it "unlikely" until I see definitive proof otherwise--i.e., an actual announcement or card. I consider Sabu & Sheik to be essentially joined at the hip. I don't know if Sabu is the actual legal owner of Sheik's likeness but my understanding is that the original Sheik card was through him. |

I thought that Sabu never actually signed a form way back when and that is the current issue with him not getting a color card.

Everything with the authorization forms - who signed what or didn’t in the B&W era seems just speculative at best, and wrong at worst. Until I hear it from someone on the Legends Team I am going to be blissfully unaware and happy with whomever we get, whenever we get them. I will point out regarding the eagerness to do B&W cards in color just how long of a wait we had for Kevin Sullivan as evidence that when the time is right the perfect opportunity will present itself to release the cards. |

I'll use any one that is signed to the game. It's weird, but I feel it's an obligation that since they signed, I owe them that much....
But in the scheme of things, I really disliked the majority of ECW stuff. While I think Eddie Kingston (note: I would never use him in Legends, even if he had a card to be fair) is the worst "pushed" wrestler in history of wrestling, Public Enemy is the worst "pushed" tag team in the history of wrestling. I hope it's not them, lol. I'd much perfer Tajari or Little Guido, some guys like that.

Tom literally said at GCon way back in the day when his card was released that Sabu only agreed to a deal verbally because that's how he preferred to do business at least at the time. And that's about the last "official" word we ever had on the subject. |

I agree, I use all signed wrestlers (Legends & Indies) let their card, do the talking.
Any FBI faction would be great, FBI v BWO feud?

I think most of us realize that the FG team does a great job signing people, and the hard work is appreciated.
But half of the fun is the guessing, and speculation. I'm buying it all, but enjoy this part, as well.

If I remember correctly Sabu "signed" on a handshake as a verbal contract. So it would only make sense and a respectable one would be to renegotiate. So as it was said it will happen when it happens. I am just happy when I see alumni in the games history finally get those upgraded cards in colour. Maybe this will be the big swerve and its the Dudley Boys? Then maybe Super Crazy and CW are in Promoter Prime? Or vice versa? The speculation is always fun. But whomever we get it will be awesome one way or another. Sorry it will be EXTREME!!!!! <Cue the music "THIS IS EXTREME! by Harry and the Slashtones>

I believe it was The Sheik whose verbal contract with Sabu came while Sabu was riding a bike.
