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)
The Gangstas (New Jack and Mustafa Saed)
Wild Samoans Afa and Sika
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin

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.

What sets are those guys in? I have all the territory sets. I tried to find out who was on the Monday Night, etc. sets to purchase but I never got a response.
