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. ECW hit Minnesota at the right time for me to be into it at the time. I was in highschool so the edgy, hardcore stuff was kinda cool. But now, looking back, I don't get much enjoyment out of watching a lot of ECW highlights. The matches that were the most fun in ECW were the ones that were much more wrestling than hardcore. I like a lot of the wrestlers that were there and would love Guido, Tajiri, Kid Kash and of course guys like Raven, Tommy Dreamer, Mike Awesome in the game. And while I would welcome Public Enemy to the game, especially as I am always in favor of WCW alumni joining the game, but they were not a team I was ever a fan of. BUT the Nasty Boys were just as bad in my eyes. Eddie Kingston has just looked like a sack of crap for quite a while now. His promos can be good sometimes but that's it. I think he thinks he is good because he's been doing it for so long but he just really looks like the guy that doesn't know what 100% effort looks like. In an industry that has guys like Wardlow and Bron Breaker, both of whom have been in wrestling for a MUCH shorter period of time, he just comes across as the far worse wrestler. His strikes look phoney and he hasn't been in decent shape in a while. Any wrestler who smokes in 2024 just isn't serious. |

I'm not telling anyone they should like a particular wrestler, because the beauty of wrestling is there is such a breadth of it available and there's something for everyone.
I am just going to speak in defence of Eddie Kingston. I do think it's an unfair assessment to say he thinks he's the best thing out there and is just a sack of crap. Yes, he doesn't look like your typical wrestler, but I don't think everyone should. He is someone who absolutely loves wrestling with all his heart. The joy he's shown in wrestling some of his heroes in recent times, and how clearly passionate he was when he got to be in the G1 was really nice to see in my view. He has also had some really good matches in AEW and further afield.
Again, no issues with people not liking him for his wrestling or his look, because as I say, everyone has their different tastes, but I'm not sure the assessment of his actual personality is totally fair here.

I would love to see Eddie Kingston get an upgraded card in Legends or even in Promoter Indy Prime. And getting the Nasty Boys would be pretty awesome! Really awesome!

IMO, Kingston's card for Chikara is actually a pretty strong card. It's had some GREAT success in my Indies fed. .......... the card is very good on the stat side. I'm not a fan of the face covered art. I don't think the back of the card needs a lot of changing because Eddie has been pretty consistent for a long time. IF it could ever get done some minor stat changes and decent art would work wonders. Nasty Boys: I'm surprised to read some negativity on them. They were never technical marvels, but I can't recall ever seeing a "boring" Nasty Boys match. I rate those guys among the top tag teams of the 90s, high in the rankings all time. |

Agree with everything you posted on the Nasty Boys, "Emperor Norton" (Mark T). Out of tag teams that aren't in the game they rank up there as probably the most wanted of teams / personas that we could get (I have given up hopes on a Mike Rotunda in I.R.S. gimmick for Money, Inc. or a Ray Traylor card dressed as Big Boss Man and OMG as Akeem). It's pretty much the following for me: 1. The Steiner Bros. 2. The Nasty Boys 3. Dick The Bruiser (to team with The Crusher) 4. Arn Anderson (to team with Tully) 5. Paul Roma (to team with Orndorff or Powers) |

My dream ECW duo to go with Doring and Roadkill would be Kroffat and Furnas.

Psyched about the first two names. I’m sold already. Any of the names listed in this forum would be great.
P.S. and Eddie Kingston is God among men. Long live the MadKing!
