I am working on running a 20 territory game (all of the main territories from the early 80's) and need some more wrestlers, managers, women wrestlers and referees. I need more mid-carders and tv jobbers and referees to flesh out my rosters.
The following lists are just suggestions for more cards, I don't expect anybody to take on the task of creating all these cards. If I knew a little bit more about the formula for creating new cards I would take a shot at creating some of them.
I have a notebooks full of wrestling stats like heights and weights and what set-up and finishers they used over the years.
I had started creating my own wrestling dice game back in 1982 based on the Avalon Hill Title Bout game and some added in brawling and grappling moves from D&D, Boot Hill and other TSR games from that time and I still have charts from it.
This is my wish list with the favorites at the top and then some other considerations separated by category:
Andy Kaufman (wrestler and manager cards)

Good stuff! To be fair, some of these guys have been carded (Rock & Roll Express, Ed Strangler Lewis, Larry Lisowski, Connie Marker, Antonio Inoki, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, to name a few). But overall agree, would love to see the Von Erichs (Kerry only one carded that I know), Stone Cold, The Rock and others.
