That would be my guess.
Though there are several guys in the game that I was generally surprised by.

Twitter tease by Tom Filsinger:
"@tomfilsinger
Two firsts for Legends card game coming in Dec."
That is pretty vague and could cover a lot of ground. Any guesses? We've had cards for midget wrestlers, ring announcers, a magazine editor, and just about every type of wrestling personality imaginable. It could be a referee card or a color commentator. Maybe even an inanimate object card, like a title belt card or even an arena card with special circumstances for matches taking place there. A color card is pretty possible, or it's something that doesn't have to do with cards at all.

Have we had twins in Legends yet? Do the masked Killer Bees count? No but seriously, I don't think so.

I looked through my cards and didn't see any. Maybe the Harris Brothers?

"Two firsts" would seem to indicate two entirely separate instances, not two cards that have a first-time theme. That would technically only be one "first". I believe the thinking on this one is different (I don't want to say "better" but I can't think of a twin tag team worth a damn, so "better" it is).

I wonder if he means "firsts in wrestling". So think of firsts in wrestling and the wrestlers attached to them.

The phrasing of "two first for Legends card game" coupled with an earlier comment to the effect of comparing content in Legends '13 to special features on a DVD would lead me away from something as basic as the wrestlers featured. If I'm going to take a wild guess I'd say a special edition color card and a title belt insert similar to the one in the ROH handbook.

I think the DVD comment and the firsts comment indicate we will get a commentator card. Most common feature of DVD? Commentary. What don't we have? A commentator. The real question is who? Solie? Russell? Maybe a commentator version of Hennan?

Russell? Maybe a commentator version of Hennan? Maybe a Colt Art of Wrestling card!!!!! Someone told me Colt was less than enthused when he was presented with his last special edition card to autograph, so I can't imagine he'd be up for that. He was also apparently insistent that they not use his logos or slogans on his Chikara or Legends card art, so there's no way they're putting the phrase "Art Of Wrestling" on a card. That's his moneymaker. On another note, I hate to be "that guy" but I'm a little confused at the love for Jake Millman on the FG poll. Maybe he's a nice guy, and everyone who was a fan during that era remembers seeing him get beat up on TV a lot, but beyond that I don't get the appeal. You'd have to delve DEEP to even find enough match footage where he did actual moves, much less enough moves to fill a card. His card stats would be a notch above Mr. X. It's hard to believe so many people would want another underneath guy with little to no chance of winning 99 times out of 100. I think Chad Olson has resorted to hiding subliminal messages somewhere in the poll to influence the voting. Chad, if you are reading this I am on to you!

But I always wondered what he'd say when Tom released that NWA card (honestly, was that the most unwanted card in Legends history? We have JJ Dillon signed!!!) It is weird Milkman is getting that love since he basically is known for one thing his entire career. He's going to be one of the worst cards ever. I don't know

The AWA wasn't my home fed so I'm not as big on the Milkman. But if you threw Rocky King, the Italian Stallion or even Randy Barber on a list like that I would be really hyped for them.

See, I think Rocky or Stallion would be more fun since they'd be capable of being competitive and sneaking a rare win. I don't see that in The Milkman
