Here are two I thought would be interesting
Mort Henderson - First man to wrestle under a mask in 1915 calling himself the masked marvel. I'm not sure how much info is available on this guy but the legends guys can come up with cards for wrestlers like The Terrible Turk and Muldoon I'm sure they pull it off. Think how cool it would be to have a vintage masked wrestler in legends.
Farmer Martin Burns - - Burns might be a lot easier to do than someone like Henderson because he actually wrote books on his wrestling style and moves. You can actually find these over the internet in a few places.

You can actually find these over the internet in a few places. I think that is one many would want since he's a pretty well know early name. I know a few that don't like these Vintage guys, but it's interesting to pit them against each other and ECW type guys Here are two I thought would be interesting Mort Henderson - First man to wrestle under a mask in 1915 calling himself the masked marvel.

Think how cool it would be to have a vintage masked wrestler in legends. Definitely would be interesting. The mask angle could pay out many ways. I already am interested, as I put in another thread earlier, in Clarence Whistler. Fantastic backstory with Muldoon much like with Gotch and Hackenschmidt.

I read about Whistler he sounded good also. One more thing about Henderson you could have him wrestle in one territory as the Masked Marvel and another as himself. I think that's what he actually did

I think that's what he actually did I'm wondering if his style changed any when he wore the mask/or took it off. Could have separate stats on the same cards to reflect that. Would be interesting

How about Stanislaus Zbyszko as an addition to the game. He was a factor in the 10s and 20s and traded the belt with Lewis.

Didn't Stecher's family say no? Or was that from someone else from that same era.

I really love the Vintage Wrestlers, the more the better and it's fun weaving them into a fed with different era of wrestlers...

I could be wrong but I think the waiting period is more than 30 years. I've heard different numbers like 50 or 70 years.

30 years seems pretty short to me, too... I think it's 50.
