I thought this thread making a case for wrestlers that would be good to have in LOW. I'm not talking about superstars like Hogan and Flair but guys that had a solid career, had a interesting gimmick or would just add something to the legends roster.
One guy I always liked was George Wells. George held numerous tag team titles during a 15- 20 year career in places like Stampede, Memphis,World Class, Mid Atlantic, and the WWF. He also has connections to other people in legends feuding with Dewey Robertson and later on held the Mid Atlantic tag title with him

I would love to have a Master G card!

A few others
Iron Mike Sharpe - second or third generation wrestler and southern brass knuckles champion. When he first came to the WWF he was a monster heel crushing everyone and had a big push for the WWF title. He wrestled Backlund once for the title but after that became sort of a mid card joke and that is a shame. This guy has endless possibilities in legends
The Moondogs - Another good team for Albano. This gimmick was kept going for years with different guys coming and going. It would be good to have a 3 man legends tag team especially if we see it someday with the Mongols.
Pistol Pez Whatley - Had a good angle when he turned on the Boogie Woogie Man and joined Paul Jones in WCW becoming Shaska Whatley.

Rip Rogers is a good one.
About 3 years ago I bought the entire television run of SMW on DVD for about $250. It was the best money I ever spent and guys like the DWB and Rogers were absolute treats to watch.

You should totally do an SMW set! There's quite a few guys there that don't have bootlegs anywhere else.
Going through some of the SMW stuff on kayfabe memories, it seems like it was a really fun fed.

I'd like to add the Super Destroyer Scott Irwin to this list. Then you could have his tag team with the Masked Superstar and his tag team with Big John Studd.

Going through some of the SMW stuff on kayfabe memories, it seems like it was a really fun fed. I've thought about it. I was even going to make it so that they were compatible with Double A's Memphis cards. I even have a first set idea in my head and what the roster would be. The main issue is getting the time to sit down and really analyze the guys.

Posted this on the OBoard as well:
How about The Patroit (Del Wilkes version), Doug Furnas & Phil LaPhon, and Tim Horner. Each of them would add something great to the game and I would not look at any of them as "Superstar" signings

'Scaling' them like Trav did, so that the top guys are really good, would make alot of sense. It was sorta the heir to Memphis wrestling, after all...

From what I've thought about. The Dirty White Boy would need to be the top guy as far as rating. Probably about a 40 or 42 on Rahl's chart. Then Brian Lee would probably be a 35-38. The Heavenly Bodies would be the top tag team followed by the Rock N Roll Express.
