Considering I recently said I was hoping to get the Blue Bloods 3 man tag team, I think it's obvious who I wish this is. Plus a Man's Man Reagal for late 90s WWE alt

I thought about Regal for that but it literally lasted for a few months and he was still Lord Steven in that same year.

When did David Beckham break into the England team? Might be a decent shout for a 90’s card.

Plus a Man's Man Reagal for late 90s WWE alt I think a Regal parody is the obvious choice, and if that’s the case I’d love to see a Muddy Rivers ALT for the 90s alongside him. I dont know that we’ll get a Real Man’s Man ALT since that would seem too similar to Hardhat Bob Duncan. |

Assuming it is Regal...what are y'all thinking feud-wise?

Assuming it is Regal...what are y'all thinking feud-wise? 1. "Broken Character" vs. Samson (Goldberg). Considering his last WCW match was against Goldberg. Regal was fired for breaking kayfabe and legitimately trying to make Goldberg submit, because of how often Goldberg was hurting wrestlers and refusing to sell any moves for them. 2. "The Tale of a Lord and a Dragon" vs. Dicky Thunderbird (Ricky Steamboat). Steven Regal won the first of his four Television Title (the only title he held in WCW) runs by beating Steamboat. A decent build up if I remember correctly. 3. "A Summer Forgotten" vs. Lazer (Sting). Regal and Sting had a pretty good feud built up that culminated at the 1996 Great American Bash, but most people don't remember it for one reason told, or another. 4. "Five of a Kind" vs. Jet Set Strutter (Ric Flair) They put on a nice wrestling clinic in a Best of Five series of matches. 5. "Another Tale of a Lord and a Dragon" vs. Mega Gyo (Ultimo Dragon). For his last TV Title run, Regal beat Ultimo Dragon only to lose it back to him a couple of months later Extras: If we had a Fit Finley/Belfast Bruiser, the two had a huge feud in WCW. If we had a Larry Zbyszko, they had some back and forth matches that cost Regal the TV for the first time, but beating Zbyszko in return for his second title run. If we had a Johnny B. Badd/Marc Mero as the two feuded a bit in WCW before Regal dropped the belt to him. Side Note: While almost everyone that remembers Regal from his WCW days can also recall his teaming with Bobby Eaton and The Blue Bloods, most people forget he teamed with Triple H in WCW when he wrestled under the name Jean Paul Levesque. |

I thought about Regal for that but it literally lasted for a few months and he was still Lord Steven in that same year. I understand it was short lived, especially since Regal was fired for substance or Alcohol abuse that led to the end of that character. But, sometimes it's just nice to remember the Wrestlers for all they did IMHO. Just as if we were to get a Terry Taylor, and God knows I hated the Red Rooster gimmick more than most, largely because I grew up watching him in Bill Watts' Mid-South/UWF. There he was just this great high flyer, and I liked him whether he was heel or face, because he was allowed to show off his skill there. Vince just wanted to put the Territories out of business, so he was hiring up the top wrestlers he could from them, and then making most of them look completely stupid. And then there was Terrence Taylor in WCW, but he never had that super spirit filled energy he once had. Yet I would still want all 3 versions if we were to get him. |

Oh I actually loved a Real Man's Man, but I worry any time they do these alternate characters that they might cut the other gimmick (like Blitz and Slugger suddenly losing their last 5 years) If they did this while still keeping His Lordship till 99, I'd be fine with it.

So the trio has to be him, Brit & Muddy (new alt?) right?
Wonder if we'll get a new manager to replicate Sir William (Bill Dundee) too.
Mid-80's to 1999 longevity? Midcard?

I’m enough of a nerd that on seeing this my first thought was: “they worked in some Amadeus style! But who is the 80MWR of Salieri/F Murray Abraham?”
While I (grudgingly) accept it might not be an in cannon feud, I’m going to 100% run a feud against the b-boys based on accusations of sampling Figaro.
