LOW-F Upgrades?

[Texas Kid]

Since these are Legends of the Future, can we assume at some point in their career their cards will be given upgrades?

[TTX]

If they progress to the point it woudl be worthwhile, I suppose.

That's a good thought, Texas Kid. As Troy kind of mentioned, it would depend on how much they achieve in their careers.

But one thing I thought about. Say that Claudio goes on to more accomplishments in ROH, TNA, and WWE. And maybe he does it under another name/gimmick in WWE. We probably wouldn't be able to call him by that same name, since WWE would own it, but I wonder if we'd be able to "represent" that era but calling him by a different name. We'd have to be careful with something like that. Claudio's signed now, but that doesn't necessarily mean we can do cards for him for the rest of his career.

Just thinking out loud.

Unfortunately, probably most would feel the only way they should be "upgraded' is if they went to the WWE. But the, that would make a whole new set of problems.

Seeing upgrades of cards are great only if there are no new wrestlers to fill a set or make them LE's eitherway if they end up getting signed then you will be looking at making some tweaks on your own.

Single release LE cards might be the way to go with them. That would be sweet

Agree with Troy. For example, Terra Rizing became HHH. Obviously if an indy went on to become a WWE/TNA type superstar an upgrade would be in order. But merely going from ROH/CZW/Chakira etc. to WWE/TNA does not automatically warrant an upgrade.

For example, I would not necessarily want an upgrade version of Frankie Kazarian/Kaz for his time in WWE. CM Punk on the other hand would deserve a new one by my standards.

This is a good example, Pike. Had LOTF come out a few years ago and Punk signed for it, his card wouldn't have been as strong as it would be if we were able to sign him today, since he's accomplished more in the last few years.

Kaz with being primarily in TNA (other than his cup of coffee in WWE) has pretty much stayed at the same level. He's gotten "teases" of being TNA World title-level, but at this point it hasn't happened.

Travis referred to WWE as being the "only way" in some people's minds to get upgraded. I hope I didn't imply that with my previous posts. But with the current LOTF crew, due to lack of "big time" promotions in the U.S. today, there's not much more they can currently due that would warrant an upgrade, other than going to WWE. I'd say if some of the current LOTFers had a long run with the ROH or TNA World championship, that could maybe boost them a bit.

I hope that all makes sense!

Oh no, I didn't think that from your quote. I think the CM Punk was a good example. I agree with your statement about the lack of no "big time" promotions left...

I think, even though many hate TNA, but if a guy for Future would to sign with TNA, and get a significant run with the TNA title, feuding with legends like Sting, Booker T, Angle, etc, then I would call for that to be an upgrade.
