Bam Bam Bigalow would be a great
Legend for the Legend series, he
has a made a mark in wrestling and
he could leave one in the Legends
of Wrestling series.
Big Bubba Rogers would be another
great addition, I would say that
the Big Boss Man name is under the
WWE ownership, so Rogers would fit
in just right with Cornette.
One Man Gang was another great, he
could team with Bigalow or even
Rogers.

If I could only have one more big man in the sets, it would be Vader. Hope Tom can get him.

LOW is in need of a true hardcore legend. More violent than The Sheik, a better brawler than Vader, more charismatic than Bigelow & far more blood thirsty than Big Bossman.
Who? ABDULLAH THE BUTCHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not only is he a true NAME legend, but he's also someone who can realistically be approached & signed to the game. He owns his own character, and would likely be receptive to the idea.
Tom, it's time to consider the Bad Man from the Sudan, the master of the bloodbath the world over, ABDULLAH THE BUTCHER!

My picks for big men look like this:
5. Big John Studd
4. Bam Bam Bigalow
3. Abdullah the Butcher
2. Vader
And #1: The most charsmatic, hard working and entertaining big man to win a World Title (NWA to be exact): Dusty Rhodes!

Some awesome choices here, and pretty reasonable. Dusty would be great, Abdullah would be perfect.

I was never a fan of the guy, but the late Jerry "Crusher" Blackwell would be a good pick. He was listed over 400 pounds and was very athletic for his size.
Abdullah The Butcher is a great choice as well.
There are so many out there...Big John Studd, Kokina Maximus, Haystacks Calhoun.

As I have read the replies to this question, I have seen a number of names come up. I could see adding someone like Vader, Abdullah, or Brody. All three were excellent performers, and all three bring something special and exciting to the table. However, some of the other names I have seen are what prompt me to ask my following question: Did you guys actually enjoy the matches of some of the people you are listing? Crusher Blackwell? One Man Gang? I am curious because I try and look at all the federations I run as being something that someone would want to see, and I don't know that watching a battle of lumbering giants like Gang and Blackwell would necessarily be it. I am curious as to how the rest of the promoters feel and think about this.

I am curious as to how the rest of the promoters feel and think about this. I agree with were you're going with that statement, normally th big guys are slow, clumsy, and not very exciting to watch. (which is why I really hope we don't see Andre the Giant in a set any time soon) But guys like One Man Gang, Kamala and others got around very good and made wrestling exciting back in the day. And yes even Jerry "the Crusher" Blackwell, he was a out of shape looking 400lb guy who would use a dropkick!!! Who cares if it was normally to the stomach or lower  , I actually liked watching Blackwell back in the AWA. |

Blackwell wasn't one of my favorites but his matches were not bad at all. He was one guy who could really go with the Road Warriors. Blackwell and King Kong Bundy had a heck of a match with the "LOD".
On the subject of Andre The Giant....it is too bad that most people remember Andre as the heel wearing the black strap wrestling singlet. Those were not his best years in the ring.
Andre was very athletic earlier in his career and a very good wrestler. I prefer to remember him with his giant afro hair and big smile. Those were the golden years in Giant history.
I was actually always a fan of super heavyweight matches. A lot of these guys were excellent workers who could do more with less. When I look back at tapes, I am actually surprised at how good One Man Gang and others really were in the ring.
Maybe, because of their physiques, some people have a different slant on how they remember the super heavyweights.

I agree Abdullah would be great. But watch his shoot interviews. The guy is very full of himself and I believe is all about the money. I remember Tom telling me there was no money in it for the Legends and that's why some have turned him down. So I see Abby saying no for the same reason in my opinion.

Unfortunately, I have a feeling that's why we'll not see a lot of stars that would be great to have in legends.
