Hey Tom
You listed some impressive additions to the LOW roster but you haven't mentioned and new Japanese stars
Anybody in the works for the next set? Come on you can tell us ;D
Would love some lucha libre guys as well but maybe I am asking to much now

Even as we speak I am discussing possible Legends signings with people in the industry. Let's keep our fingers crossed...I agree with the sentiments expressed here in this thread. Keep watching for announcements of signings for Legends 5...it'll rock!  |

...I'd kill to see the Great Muta.
Mutoh is a huge mark for American wrestling/products. He'd probably leap at the chance to be in an American Wrestling card game.
...He'd probably shill it in Japan.
...Gold all around, I says.

...I'd kill to see the Great Muta. Mutoh is a huge mark for American wrestling/products. He'd probably leap at the chance to be in an American Wrestling card game. ...He'd probably shill it in Japan. ...Gold all around, I says. Only problem is he doesn't own the gimmick. New Japan does. Keiji Muto would be a welcome addition, however. I'm a big proponent of more foreign legends--I'd think a Cloneworld of the future would incorporate wrestlers from all over the globe, not just the U.S. While they'd be harder to contact, they're not likely to be tracked down and signed by WWE, either. The first and foremost Japanese Legend I want to see is Jumbo Tsuruta. He's the biggest native Japanese not already in the game and is probably one of the 5 best workers in the history of the business. British legends...I've been getting into old-school European wrestling lately and at its best it is some seriously awesome, completely whacked-out matwork. Johnny Saint is the greatest, most completely bizarre mat worker you've never heard of, and I'd love to see what a card for him would look like. Saint was a light heavyweight, though, and with the current emphasis on heavyweights I think Billy Robinson should be the #1 British target. (Okay, there's Dynamite, but I'm thinking "British style" here.) There's also Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks (aka Loch Ness in WCW), who were abominably awful workers but the biggest stars in the history of the country. Daddy at his peak (early-to-mid-'80s) was every bit as popular in Great Britain as Hogan was in the US or Santo in Mexico. Another guy I've been trying to find info on is Dara Singh--the Hulk Hogan of India. He was a huge star in the 1950's (wrestled Lou Thesz in sold-out stadiums in both England and India) and later become a movie star. Almost nothing on his in-ring ability--all I've found is that he used an airplane spin for a finisher--and I can't even find a good photo of the guy as a wrestler. But I'm sure Tim and Chad could dig up something and produce a viable card. |

the Great Muta thing has gotten really hazy over recent years. NJPW does own the gimmick, BUUT lately, they have allowed Mutoh to use the name, and the look. Before, he wasn't exactly Great Muta.
So...They might have worked an agreement out with Muto, or outright sold him the gimmick. No one seems to know for sure.
If I couldn't have Muta, I'd like to see Lyger. Of course, thats just me.
