WWE LEGENDS HOUSE. WHO SHOULD BE NEXT?

Although not too different from your typical reality show, where a large chunk of things is generally "planned" or "scripted", but WWE Legends House wasn't too bad. The first season saw legends Pat Patterson, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Tony Atlas, Hillbilly Jim, Mouth Of The South Jimmy Hart, Howard Finkel, Mean Gene Okerland, and Hacksaw Jim Duggan. An entertaining cast, and their different personalities clashing and combining made for some great moments on the show. It would have been interesting to see Duggan and Atlas come to blows, it would have put a damper on things, but would've been nice to see who'd win. Hacksaw is stupid tough, but Atlas is still a walking tank. That was really the only negativeness on the show, the verbal disputes between the two. But, there was of course the emotional roller coasters with Pat Patterson "coming out" to the public, Jim Duggan and Jimmy Hart's personal losses in their lives, everyone's stories added a refreshing realism to these guys. Larger than life characters, who at the end of the day, are just as human as those they entertain.

So, we'll assume that WWE will be bringing the show back for another season. The question is, who will make up the cast? Of course, everyone will have their personal favorites, as we do here in the upcoming list, the problem is which of the Legends are both entertaining outside of the ring, but not in a destructive way that could destroy the atmosphere of the show. Remember Chyna on "Celebrity Rehab" a few years ago? Wasn't entertaining at all, and was sad if anything (and if you've seen her as of late, things got worse). Characters like The Nasty Boys may be entertaining for a moment, but possibly could become "too much" and not funny. WWE will likely stick to the Hall Of Famers or the proven "good boys" or company guys (Hillbilly Jim). So, who does the Non-Geeky Nerd think should be in Legends House? They are...

George The Animal Steele
There is so much more to the man behind the character. Of course, there would have to be some turnbuckle pads set up around the house as to keep with character at times.

Jerry The King Lawler
Might conflict with Raw and what not, but a storyline hiatus could make it work. But, it may also conflict with him hosting the "reunion" show, but like puppies, we want KING!

Koko B. Ware
The only real stipulation is that he brings the bird (not sure if Frankie is still alive), as it goes with his persona, but could also drive some members nuts leading to the needed "drama" of the house.

Mick Foley
Mick can be the funny one, he can be the peace keeper, or he can be the one everyone picks on (or the Jimmy Hart of the group). It fits with him being the young one of the house. Maybe too early for his era, but who better to "bridge the gap"?


Iron Sheik
Remember that destructiveness mentioned before? As entertaining as he can be, the possibility of him creating a negative tone would be high....er than he would be. But, if there is always editing so maybe.

Bobby The Brain Heenan
Would have been the absolute best choice. Sadly, Brain is battling through health issues making this near impossible. But, again he'd have been the best choice, and likely would have been apart of the inaugural cast.

So many of the Legends who would have been perfect for the show have unfortunately passed away through the years. And it may be too early to use Attitude Era legends, and not too sure if the "bigger" names like Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, and others would sign on for this. Guess we will have to wait and see, well those with WWE Network, everyone else get on that as it is truly a great deal. And we're only in the beginning of all this, things can or should only get better.
