Future Legends sets

Nice discussion. Very vivid.

I like the idea of the future legends sets and hopefully they'll be more. But would love to see more legends sets. And would love to see a kamala card. And maybe Abdullah the butcher. Also I would like to add there are a lot of talented wrestlers not in the wwe. It's obvious there are only so many roster spots at any given time. Not every one can be in the WWE.

Well I don't know if I can agree with that 100%, especially given the landscape of today's wrestling world. How many people know who Hiroshi Tanahashi is?

TNA has given Tanahashi some limited amounts of exposure here. So I'd say more than you'd think. He's someone that I think could come over here and be a huge star almost instantly. He's got tons of charisma and he wrestled two matches for TNA back in 2006 and the fans took to him really well.

I never really agreed with the whole "impact on the business" thing. Take someone like DDP. Multi-time World and US Champion. One of WCW's only home brewed break out stars. Had a level of crossover with the mainstream (granted during one of wrestlings biggest hot periods). Had wins over Hogan, Bret Hart, Ric Flair, and others. How does his card stack up? I would argue that he's a bit weak, he's had a hard time digging himself out of the bottom card for me. But then I've had him get the occasional upset, recently he pinned Race.

DDP's card is a bad example. The card is meant to operate by him getting stomped the whole match, looking like he's going to lose then hitting a Diamond Cutter out of nowhere and stunning everyone. That's how his matches tend to go for me. I'd say he's right where he belongs. A lower level 2nd tier star that can beat anyone with a bit of luck.
