Okay folks, I need your help here.
We're considering reducing the number of talent featured at the next fanfest. I say "considering" because that's all it is at this point.
Many have said they didn't attend at Thanksgiving because of the same guys. While I don't necessarily buy into that (Briscos, Race, Hawk, Hart, Jones, Assassin, Lane, and Graham were first-timers,) I am out to please everyone.
So if you had to choose 20 guys that you wanted to see at the next Charlotte fanfest, tell me who those 20 would be...

One man's opinion. I think going beyond the limitations of mid atlantic / crockett would help with new interest from fans. While some of these names might not be feasible, here goes:
New Names
Jake Roberts
Flair (Obviously elusive, but would guarantee success)
Stan Hansen
Baron Von Rashke
Rick Martel
Road Warrior Animal
Barry Windham
Michael Hayes
Lex Luger
Manny Fernandez
Hacksaw Jim Duggan
Bam Bam Bigelow
Superstar Billy Graham
Bret Hart
Sid Vicious
Mulkeys (There's a reason everyone always brings them up and asks where they are now)
Regulars that should still be there:
Magnum
Dusty
Tully
Arn
Ole
Nikita

i have said 25 would be a good number
let me say thes real quick:
paul orndorff
jimmy snuka
terry funk
ric flair
steve muslin
jake roberts
jimmy holiday
kevin sullivan
stu schwartz
bill alphonzo
stan hansen
michael hayes
buddy roberts
ron ritchie
lord alfred hays
barry horowitz
barry darsow (could have a russians or demolition reunion ?)
blackjack mulligan
randy savage
lanny poffo
angelo poffo
ox baker
would love to see but no it isn't an option:
roddy piper
kabuki
the ninja
carlos colon
man, it's getting harder to think of some names that are still alive.
i don't buy the "same guys" stuff either. some guys will likely be regulars as they are living nearby and such. but there are way too many different names at all three so far without so much repetititon.

another thing about that "same guys" thought. where i live, we have had "NASCAR DAYS" for close to 15 years now. drivers never come to this big fall festival. what ones have are like busch driver or truck drivers that most have never hard of. any way, richard and kyle petty are always here. being as they are from here, that is a given. but regardless of how many of us locals don't really want to see them (cause we'd rather see names we never see), as we have seen them all the time, there are always hundreds that come that have never seen them live. or had a chance to meet them.
the same would be for fanfests. no matter how many times the " 'ol stand bys" are there, there will be many that have never met them that will get the thrill of a lifetime to finally have that chance.

The legends at the last Fanfest were awesome, especially Arn, Steamboat, Valentine, Nikita, and so on but one man really impressed me above the rest and is one of the greatest humans I've ever met and he is Ivan Koloff. He should always be a staple at any Fanfest! Legends who I would love to see at the next Charlotte event would be: Baron Von Raschke Paul Ordorff Roddy Piper The Mulkeys Terry Funk Buddy Landel  |

I really regret missing the previous Charlotte fanfests due to my workload, but I definitely plan on being at the next one. If I could pick 20 guests that would be there:
Michael PS Hayes
Jimmy Garvin
Harley Race
Terry Funk
Dusty Rhodes
Ricky Steamboat
Ole Anderson
Tully Blanchard
JJ Dillon
Baby Doll
Arn Anderson
Paul Jones
Jim Cornette
Bobby Eaton
Stan Lane
Exotic Adrian Street
Kevin Sullivan
Barry Windham
Bobby Heenan
and
Bob Caudle
I realize Flair or Piper might sink the budget, so I left them off. I'd love it if Kevin Von Erich could be there, but didn't want to get in trouble for listing a non-Mid-Atlantic guy.
Thanks!
-Casey
