I usually refrain from responding to long lists, but I'll do it this time for Jim.  There are three categories of responses: TT= talked to but nothing resolved. NO=they said no. NV=never spoke with. 1-Abdullah the Butcher- TT 2-Terry Funk- TT 3-Larry+Curt Hennig NV 4-Kevin Von Erich NV 5-Steve "Dr Death" WIlliams TT 6-Tully Blanchard TT 7-Samoans(Afa+Sika) NO 8-Stan "The Lariat" Hansen NO 9-Rock and Roll Express NV 10-Magnum T.A. NV 11-Carlos Colon NV 12-Raven TT 13-The Guerreros NV 14-Manny "The Raging Bull" Fernandez NV 15-Fantastics TT 16-Ricky Steamboat NO 17-Roddy Piper NV 18-Paul Orndorff NO 19-Blackjacks+Barry Windham NV 20-Stan Stasiak NV FAMILY FOR Gordon Solie NV Big John Studd TT Brian Pillman NV Eddie Gilbert NV British Bulldog(s) NV Junkyard Dog NV Whew! Keep in mind I don't like to do this because these lists can get endless and repetitive. Feel free to privately email me with any specific (VERY SMALL LISTS) of questions about signings. Thank you! I hope this helps...the status changes all the time. |

I believe the Samoans signed a WWE Legends contract because I recently saw some Legends action figures for them. So that probably a reason for them declining. Same with Orndorff and Steamboat I'm sure.

Manny Fernandez would be great cause he and Rick Rude were an awesome tag team...they could give the warriors a run in the tag ranks....

Tom said Steamboat said no because of past experiences
He said he has been screwed over so many times he doesn't want to take the chance with Tom so its a real shame that someone else screwing him is hurting Tom from getting him
Oh well maybe someday

I believe the Samoans signed a WWE Legends contract because I recently saw some Legends action figures for them. So that probably a reason for them declining. Same with Orndorff and Steamboat I'm sure. Just because Jakks makes figures for someone does not mean they are on a legends contract. Jakks has their own contracts that are exclusively for the right to make figures of them. Maybe eventually Steamboat and others will come around if they see how many people have signed on. The key to Afa & Sika may be in Samu & Alofa since they are family. Maybe Tom could figure out a way to get all of that family. That would give us The Rock, Yokozuna, The Tonga Kid, Rosey, The Barbarian, Jamal, Peter Maivaia and quite a few more. Obviously Rosey and Jamal are both in WWE right now but with WWE they may not be for long. |

Yeah, that's true. Bruno has a figure coming out, but I doubt has a Legends contract.
But would Steamboat even be eligible now since he is a WWE Road Agent? I would love to hear those stories on how Steamboat was burned. What a shame. I wonder if it was indy promoters or what.
Man, if just a few of us Legends fans could just have 5 minutes with him....

Tom, I thought you said you did sign the Samoans, or was that the SWAT team? Or did I just misread something again?
Take care,
Jay

He did sign some Samoans but not the Samoan Swat team or Afa+Sika
He signed one of the current Samoan tag teams
