Inspired by a comment made in another thread (thanks Ace!).
As the 8MW team looks to the future (or is it the past?) for potential additions to the game, which 80s games, movies, music, brands, etc. do you feel should be represented as characters or sponsors?

Thomas Dolby's "She Blinded Me With Science"

Cindy Lauper
Beverly Hills Cop reference, maybe? Eddie Murphy-esque?
MacGyver?
Pee Wee Herman
Tony Danza
Ferris Bueller
Pac-Man?
Beetlejuice
A freaky Teddy Ruxpin to feud with some sort of a Care Bear.

The cards remind me very much of the Garbage Pail Kids, so I'd say a Cabbage Patch Kid.

Visionaries
Silverhawks
M.A.S.K.
Dino Riders
Just a few of my childhood favorites that popped into my mind. I don't know how easily they can be parodied as wrestlers.
An Ewok would also be pretty funny.
As far as wrestlers go:
It'd be pretty awesome to have a parodied version of the 4 Horsemen
Macho Man
Jim Duggan
Mr. T would be another good one.

I'll keep posting my list until they're in the game!
Ash would be a good feud with Slashmaster.
OH! Let's add some type of Duran Duran type of guy to the list. Nick Rhodes = Rhick Nodes!
And you all know you'd play the heck out of some Snake Plissken!
