Red Bastien
Lord James Blears
Sadly, Red Bastien passed away earlier this year.
The last news I had heard on Blears was several years ago, when Bobby Heenan mentioned in a shoot with Cornette that he was in a rest home in Hawaii. If he is up for the travel, I'd love to see him.
My personal list: (Only the first 3 are really in order. Ones I mark with * are ones I haven't met before. Some of them may have appeared at Fanfest before my first one in '08, or I may not have had anything for them to sign and do now. There will also be some repeats just because I have more stuff for them or just enjoy seeing them.

Any living old timers I haven't thought of.
I'll probably think of somebody else later. Obviously, not all of these could be there for a variety of reasons. But any of those names will make me happy to some degree.
As for some newer talent for signing & possibly the weekend cards, I'd like to see some of the women from Shimmer - Cheerleader Melissa, Mercedes Martinez, MsChif, the Canadian Ninjas, Nikki Roxx, etc. I would have said Sara Del Rey but she's apparently a trainer for WWE now so I doubt she'd make it.
