It will be great to hear a scoop on the next Legends set when the new CotG Editions come out this summer. If the next set has twelve Legends, what era will each one be from, and how many official tag teams will make up the set.
With the Mystery card coming at G-Con, I hope we'll see Brutus Beefcake... can you say the DREAM TEAM reunites.
Who would be great to bring into the Legends with the next set...
Rowdy Roddy Piper and Mr.#1derful Paul Orndorff reunited with the man they call Ace Cowboy Bob Orton.
Official Tag Teams that we might see if they sign with Tom, the R-n-R Express... The Fantastics... D. Murdoch and Adrian Adonis, if not those two as a tag team maybe Adonis as the Adorible Adrian Adonis and he could team with the Gorgeous One Gorgeous George.
This is a long post, but the Legends series has brought me back to Filsinger Games and that is a great thing.

I'd prefer Adrian Adonis and Jesse Ventura as a tag team. While I admit Murdoch and Adonis were a better team, I like the East West Connection name. I'm looking forward to Kamala being added, and I know there is a lot of talk about how Bill Eadie will be in, I think if they could, maybe have him as the Masked Superstar. Either that or under his real name

I'm thinking if Bill Eadie is in it will be as the Masked Superstar. That would be better than his real name but either way would work.

Yeah Superstar would be better than his real name, but I do agree with someone who posted that Eadie and Barry Darsow should be in under their real names so we can have Demolition. It should be interesting to note that one of the old Superstar Pro Wrestling sets I have has Masked Superstar and Krusher Krushchev in it. I didn't think anything of it at the time, but I just went through those cards the other day and thought it was funny.

I would like to have Edie in the set as AX. I know that he still does indy shots with that gimmick. He has the rights if I recall correctly. Heck, maybe he could have two cards. He's done shows and wrestled as AX and Masked Superstar in the same night. Maybe one could be a special edition.

Yes, Bill has the right to both Ax and Demolition. Darsow doesn't have the rights to Smash as he was not the original one. The WWE still(makes me wonder how long these things last) has the rights to the gimmick of Demolition Smash.

I'd love to see Bam Bam Bigelo and Magnum TA in a future Legends set. Bigelo was one of my favorites and Magnum deserves another shot in the ring.

All these messages about Bill Eadie and Demolition really makes me wish that it was possible for Demolition to be included. I have another idea for a possible way for Tom to "have" Demolition without legally "having" Demolition.
What about Brian Adams? He was Crush. Now in the past, I have said just have a Bill Eadie and a Barry Darsow card and then the "promoters" can decided if they have them be Demolition or not. Well, with Bill Eadie and Brian Adams, you could have Bill Eadie be Masked Superstar if you want and Brian Adams could go towards an unofficial "nWo." I know that Vince owns the "nWo" name but with Ted DiBiase and Virgil already being in the set and Tom working on Scott Hall and looking for contacts with Kevin Nash, Brian Adams could be used for the "nWo" or as Crush to go along with Eadie.
What does everybody think?

Yeah I agree. It doesn't matter what you call any of them (Eadie, Darsow, even Brian Adams) as long as we have their stats we can call them whatever we want. The same goes for nWo. We don't need the card to have the nWo name on them we can call them the nWo. Honestly even if Eadie is in as the Masked Superstar we can still make him Ax.

I have to admit that Bill Eadie would probably be Ax for me even with a Masked Superstar card. I was a big Demolition fan, and have always wanted to see a fued between Demo's and the Warriors. By the time Hawk and Animal were in the WWF, Eadie's best days were over.

Masked Superstar would suit me just fine. That was Bill Eadie's first persona that I saw him in when my cable system first got WTCG (now TBS) in the late 70's, and I was very impressed with him from the start. If Tom can get Bill and then add Mr. Wrestling II.....
;D

I've looked over my WM Legacy collection and a few names stick out that would be cool to see in the Legends Series.
Jacob & Eli Blu - When these guys entered wCw I liked them, but the Mountain Man image was very cool.
Doug Furnas & Philip LaFon - They never made it in the WWF, it was a shame that they did not.
Nasty Boys - These guys just kicked a**, they need to be in the series.
Mighty Hercules - When Bobby Heenan enters the Legend Series, he needs another member of his family and I would like to see this man.
Stone Hands Ron Garvin - I really liked Garvin in the NWA / wCw, he kicked a**.
Outlaw Ron Bass - He was a classic Outlaw, it would be cool to see him in the Legends Ring.
Ken Patera - He was one of my favorite villains in the WWF.
Billy Jack Haynes - We could see the rematch from WM III between Haynes and the Mighty Hercules, the Full Nelson Showdown.
The list of Legends continues to grow, if I had to pick two choices from the list above I would got with HERCULES and BILLY JACK HAYNES.

Stone Hands Ron Garvin I didnt like Ronnie Garvin much but I would like to see him and his brother Jimmy Garvin in the set
Outlaw Ron Bass Great star
Ken Patera Very Under Rated
Billy Jack Haynes Another Top Canidate

TEXT Mehhh, they were okay, but I definitely have about a 100 teams before them.TEXT
Doug Furnas & Philip LaFon Awesome team that never got a fair shot in the WWE
TEXT Totally lacked charisma, and the team was all LaFon really. Furnas was always a danger of decapitating his opponent. Wouldn't mind them though.TEXT
Nasty Boys LEGENDS
TEXT To quote Comic Book Guy "Worst Tag Team Ever"TEXT
Mighty Hercules Hercules Hernandez is a definate must have for the set
TEXTWhy not. He'd make a good lowcarder.TEXT
Stone Hands Ron Garvin I didnt like Ronnie Garvin much but I would like to see him and his brother Jimmy Garvin in the set
TEXTJimmy I'll take(especially with Hayes and Gordy and Roberts), but Ronnie can stay away from this game.TEXT
Outlaw Ron Bass Great star
TEXTI've taken a liking to him for some reason recently, so I'd like to see him.TEXT
Ken Patera Very Under Rated
TEXTPathetic with no wrestling ability at all. He was a pure strength guy.TEXT
Billy Jack Haynes Another Top Canidate TEXTPlease no. Please, please no.TEXT

An official card for Magnum T.A. would great! As for the others mentioned by Dennis:
Jacob & Eli Blu: These guys would be ok to include in the set, just make sure to include Dutch Mantel (I forget his WWF character name. Um "Cousin Zeck"?)
Doug Furnas & Phillip LaFon: Not much of an impact in the WWF, huh? I barely had bootleg cards for them for the old Superstar Pro Wrestling game.
Nasty Boys: Not much of a fan of these guys, but they did win A LOT of tag Belts, didn't they?
Mighty Hercules: Here's a guy that could've been pushed a bit harder. I would like to see an Official card for him too.
"HANDS OF STONE" Ron Garvin: One of my all-time faves! Yes, INCLUDE HIM. And do it NOW! ("Of all people" as Flair wrote once wrote as his worst moment in the ring when he lost the NWA Belt to Garvin. Yeah okay, Flair.)
"Outlaw" Ron Bass: I would not include him in a future set, sorry.
Billy Jack Haynes: An Oregon legend, too bad he never went far in the WWF. I remember reading in the wrestling mags that he did have an awesome feud with Superstar Billy Graham though.
As for the others mentioned, Piper is a TRUE Legend. Orndorff would be good for a future set, R-n-R Express would be EXCELLENT additions to the game, and as far as "Demolition" would go -- it would be fun to see the Road Warriors destroy them just like they did in the WWF!
