Okay, please no Vegas bashing! Let's be thankful for all he does. WrestleReunion Posibilitiesen.wikipedia.org/wiki/WrestleReunion#WrestleReunion_5I hope most of the signing are LOW rather than LOTF.
First, Grant's HUGE signing. I can't help but think it's Jimmy Hart. Grant has stated many times how much he wants Hart in LOW. Hart has a long list of LOW guys he can manage: Ox Baker Brutus Beefcake King Kong Bundy Eddie Gilbert The Iron Sheik Konnan Rick Rude Kevin Sullivan Koko B. Ware Dewey Robertson Greg Valentine I'm not going to go into the unsigned guys at WR5, but that's a big list!
The other six signings... What do you think? However, it'll be like seven years before we get 'em.

I appreciate Vegas' passion for Legends and signings. I think most will agree that it's the bragging nature. It's been toned down, but for a stretch, nearly every post was reminding of who he signed
There are more than a few who have contributed signings, but we don't remind everyone all the time.

That is great news and appreciative of what Grant, Vegas and Company did at WR5 and everyone else who works on signings. Now I am curious who was signed!

I guess I can submit my wish list, eh? 1. Paul Orndorff -- I believe he already said no, so I doubt it. 2. Terry Funk -- OMFGMOONSAULT! 2. Dos Caras -- Any luchador is a great thing for LOW. 3-4. Powers of Pain -- Jimmy Hart? 6. Mr. Saito -- Yes, I'd love to team with with Fuji. 7. Tatanka -- We need an Indian wrestler, right? I'll also take the following: Rey Bucanero -- He's a luchador, yo! Ken Patera -- We need him to murder a promo! Jumpin' Jeff Farmer -- "Yep!"

I can't hate on Vegas. I may be overrating his contributions but I honestly feel like Legends would've died after International came out if he wouldn't have started stepping up with the signings. I feel like at the end of the day, we owe the last several sets coming out to him and that he's the driving force behind LOW now.

No, he's not that important. The vast majority of his signings have been for LOTF. The Legends game would not have died without his help.

I don't think anyone is hating on Vegas, it's there are many of us who've helped made signings, but we didnt feel the need to let everyone know. I think that's issue, more of a "look at me" thing. Now, on to the signings: Mike Graham - possible Paul Orndorff - no Tito Santana- no Mr. Saito - I can see it Traci Brooks - not sure, if she's still with TNA, not sure how it works Ryan Shamrock - she'd be welcome, not sure for what purpose Terry Funk - no Ken Patera - no Tatanka - can see it Savio Vega - can see it Gene Okerlund - we have a couple of similar cards, but I'm sure Tom would take him Barry Orton - with his brother and father in, I can see it Roddy Piper - hmm, Serena Deeb - is that the CM Punk chick? Shane Douglas - truthfully I'm shocked he isn't in yet The Powers of Pain (The Barbarian and The Warlord) - yes Billy Anderson - Torrie Wilson - God I hope Nick Mitchell - Spirit Squd guy? Billy Graham - I think he's in Hart Foundation (Bret Hart, Jim Neidhart, Jimmy Hart, Danny Davis) - Jimmy Yes Vampiro - possible Christy Hemme - not sure how TNA contracts are Hurricane Helms - I wish Mr. Águila - yes Dos Caras - yes Jake Roberts - no Chavo Guerrero - possible Mando Guerrero - possible

I think Graham is out of bounds due to signing a Legends contract.
I also could've sworn that Shane Douglas had signed around the time that JJ Dillion did.

It just seemed like the game was really gasping for air and Vegas, you and a few others really took over the signings part and gave the game new life. again. On Terry Funk. I think you could get Terry Funk in the game but I think it's going to cost a little. I think Jake Roberts might be surprisingly agreeable to it. Especially with so many of his peers in the game already.

Sorry if I came across too strong. I've made peace with vegas for the things in the past. I just disagreed with the sentiment there wouldn't be a game without him.
Terry Funk. Well, anything is possible so he could have gotten him. I say it's not Funk because Tom has gotten the verbal yes from him before but no follow up. I have had contact with both Terry and Dory but was unable to get them to sign.
I always feel surprised when anyone with a good name in wrestling history says yes. You say maybe Jake the Snake, well I see him wanting money to sign. It seems like he doesn't have any and the veterans can be harder to get as they've seen other stuff happen with names being used and they didn't any compensation.

To comment on double A's notes:
Serena Deeb is the one that was with Punk. Straight Edge society, was that it? I will be seeing her on March 5 at WSU.
Traci Brooks is no longer with TNA.
Vampiro I think is unlikely. Another I see wanting to be paid.
Some of the ladies like Christy Hemme, Ryan Shamrock. If they got cards I'd see them as taking up space for a better womens wrestler.

You never know with Jake. I think it would depend strongly on his mood at the time. I think you would have a brief window with the guy.
There's no one on that list that would make me go "WOW, YOU GOT HIM!!!" Though, I tend to think if you can get Andre the Giant in the game, that you can get anyone eventually. Okay, maybe not Ricky Steamboat. Tom said that encounter went pretty badly.
I think the longer the game exists the easier it gets to sign guys.
I'm hoping for Saito so I can actually use Mr. Fuji for something though. Fuji is kind of useless as a singles guy.

I've heard Vampiro is tough to deal with.
