Y'all got my hopes up for a Bad News Allen/Brown card now, so I really hope that's what we're getting. "Broken Trophies" feud card with Merc 80s (they feuded in Stampede, but I think the WM4 moment is the most famous)? Definitely a feud with O'Hooligan. Andre would be more of a tongue-in-cheek feud (kinda like Voltage/Strongarm). I never, ever guess the new cards right based on the emoji clues. I hope you all nailed this one. I believe in Bret or Dynamite’s book reading Andre used some Inappropriate language regarding Bad News. So Bad News had the bus stopped and called Andre out to fight. Andre didn’t move and that was the end of it. Bad News was a legit Judo Olympic winner. I’ve seen videos of him and from Stampede wrestling. I believe you could add him with Haku as one of the toughest wrestlers. He discusses the incident in an interview: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtMMdH6pmhA |

From a purely "coverage" point of view, a Bad News Brown inspired card would cover exactly 9 (of the big 4) WWE PPVs...which is kinda awesome. As for RPRs "Paperboy" suggestion...totally for it! I played the crap out that game on my old C64! Just the fact that I know what C64 represents shows my age |

I would be happy if it's Bad News Brown/Allen or Paperboy. But a newspaper is Black, and white,and red all over...Whole New Era Wolfpack/A-Team. But I don't see that happening

Thanks for sharing that YouTube link Papa. I’ve always liked Bad News Brown but now I like him even more for not holding a grudge against Andre.

I had no idea he was a legit Judo Olympian.
Also, I could see this turning into a Kama/Godfather alt in the 90s

It is good to see they are bringing Bad News Brown to the game. My favorite memory of him is on the Saturday Night Main Event against Hogan and he has Hogan down and gets the mic and tells Hogan he is getting ready to do the Ghetto Blaster on him. Of course Hogan stops him and then goes on to win. I was so upset because by this time I was tired of Hogan and wanted him to lose to anybody. Anyway great addition to the game

The update is live. He is a midcarder active from 1980-1990. Feuds are with good O'Hooligan, Mercenary, Max Attack, and Reptile Ranger. (all 80s)

Slightly bummed no Valedictorian feud but the others make sense other than Max Attack (I'm sure I'm missing something probably connected to Punch Out)

Yeah the Max Attack feud is definitely related to Punch Out

So this makes for about 4 references to Punch Out? Where could this lead....I mean assuming we're talking about the original Punch Out for the NES (Mike Tyson edition or not)...
- Chief Buffalo (ref King Hippo)
- Jobber joe (ref Glass joe)
- Mystic Maan (ref Great Tiger)
- Judo Jones (ref Bald Bull)
So from the game that kinda leaves:
- Von Kaiser
- Piston Honda
- Don Flamenco
- Soda Popinski
- Mr. Sandman
- Super Macho Man
- Mike Tyson
