I'm making a save in an old Fire Pro game of wrestlers from the 70s and Golden Age and I've already got a full roster picked out, but I'm thinking of replacing a couple of them (Afa and Sika, because I'm not sure how relevant they really were in the 70s) and don't know who to replace them with, so I thought I'd ask you guys. Here's the current (planned) roster. Who do you think are the most obvious omissions? Feel free to name more than two.

Fritz Von Erich should probably be included Andre the Giant too, even though he was also a very big part of the 80s
Very neat list though

Cool idea! Not sure if I’m blind or what, but did I miss
Archie “the Stomper” Gouldie
Angelo Poffo
“Bullet” Bob Armstrong
Sputnik Monroe
Ernie and Rudy Dusek (Dirty Duseks, Farmer Burns connection)
Jackie Fargo
Maybes?
Tojo Yamamoto (mentioned a lot in stuff I’ve read, really respected by the boys as a trainer)
“Bad News” Allen (Coage) (started late seventies, but the US Olympic judo team pedigree is cool!)
And I’d toss Keith Hart before the Anoa’i Bros, he was mostly a referee and tag team match filler. Stu Hart would blend better with all the old hookers you have on that list!
This is fun! Finally all of the reading I’ve been doing on territory shit is marginally useful! 😁

Fritz is no problem. Remember that there is a "Legends" category in the roster of the old Fire Pro games. So Thesz and a few others are technically included. Maybe I should have listed those now that I think of it. Cool idea! Not sure if I’m blind or what, but did I miss Archie “the Stomper” Gouldie Angelo Poffo “Bullet” Bob Armstrong Sputnik Monroe Ernie and Rudy Dusek (Dirty Duseks, Farmer Burns connection) Jackie Fargo Maybes? Tojo Yamamoto (mentioned a lot in stuff I’ve read, really respected by the boys as a trainer) “Bad News” Allen (Coage) (started late seventies, but the US Olympic judo team pedigree is cool!)

Finally all of the reading I’ve been doing on territory shit is marginally useful! 😁 Sputnik Monroe was on my original list, but there is barely any footage of him. No way to make an even remotely close to accurate moveset, stats, etc. of him, so I chose to leave him out. Some of the other suggestions are good ideas, but it depends partially on whether or not I can make accurate versions of them based on the match footage online. I wasn't planning on including Heenan (assuming that's what you meant to type), but who knows. |

If you want another tag team what about Jimmy and Johnny Valiant

This is not a bad idea. I already made Jimmy Valiant in an unrelated save, so I'd just need to copy him over into the new one and hope there's enough footage online to make Johnny Valiant. I'll definitely take the suggestion into consideration.
